If it was "free" on smaller orders than someone has to pay - the prices will

That's what they said and there's no argument there but no-one is
asking fro free delivery on all orders, just to lower it from orders
over £53. As TMH has said, other companies can make a profit with free
delivery on orders £10, why can't CPC.

Maybe they have decided that it isn't worth them playing that game?

And just because a company offers free delivery for a £10 order, doesn't
mean they are making a profit on it, it might even be they make a loss
on that. It might be they use it to draw customers in, knowing that most
will put in a bigger order, or it will encourage them to come back etc.
