Deliveroo listed a delivery fee of £4.50, plus a service charge of 49p - we've asked Deliveroo if this is standard, or if it depends on your area.
The online delivery service also charges a "small order fee" if your total order is under £15.
This fee varies depending on how much you've spent, as Deliveroo will add on a charge to take your total order up to £19.99, including the delivery fee and service charge.
All deliveries will be contact-free with Deliveroo riders leaving the deliveries at customers’ doors to collect, minimising person-to-person contact.
Morrisons chief executive David Potts said: “Our partnership with Deliveroo will help us to continue to play our full part in feeding the nation.
“It’s a great combination of traditional and modern methods and it will provide more vulnerable people with the opportunity to receive their home delivery.”
Ajay Lakhwani, vice president of new business at Deliveroo said: “With families and vulnerable people in isolation, it is more important than ever that we make sure they have access to the essential household items they need.
“During this worrying period we want to play our role in making sure people have access to a range of items, in particular the vulnerable who cannot leave their homes.”
