Spanish fashion chain Zara has begun charging for home delivery, even on orders exceeding 199 shekels, a change that took effect at the start of October. Previously, delivery was free for non-discounted items over this threshold. This new policy applies to six brands under the Inditex group: Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull & Bear, Oysho, and Massimo Dutti. Standard delivery now costs 14.90 shekels regardless of purchase value, with an expedited option available for 29.80 shekels, promising delivery within approximately three days. For example, a 250-shekel order will now cost 264.90 shekels with standard shipping, requiring shoppers to factor this cost into their budgets. For Zara Home, which specializes in home goods, standard delivery is 49.90 shekels, rising to 75 shekels for heavy furniture items. These changes coincide with a reduced physical presence for Zara in Israel. The Zara branch at the Azrieli Mall in Be'er Sheva has closed, and the Zara Home store at Ayalon Mall is slated for closure. This will leave only two Zara Home branches operating in Israel, located at TLV Mall and Big Galilot Mall. Customers can still opt for free in-store pickup, provided the chosen branch offers this service, as an alternative to home delivery fees.
