التوصيل مجاني؟

You can use this phrase exactly as it is. It works for a single pizza or a giant sofa. If you are talking to a shopkeeper, just point and ask. If you are on the phone, say it after they give the total price.

Use it whenever you are buying something that isn't in your hands yet. It's perfect for food delivery apps or Instagram businesses. Use it at the pharmacy when they offer to send your meds. It is great for checking if a promotion is actually a good deal.

Don't use this if you are physically picking up the item yourself. It won't make sense if you are buying a digital product like an e-book. Also, avoid using it in high-end luxury boutiques where delivery is usually assumed. It might sound a bit too budget-conscious there.

Delivery culture is massive in the Middle East and North Africa. In many cities, you can get almost anything delivered to your door. From a single loaf of bread to a full living room set. Because competition is high, many places offer free delivery to win customers.

You might hear at-tawseel bi-balash? in places like Egypt or the Levant. Bi-balash is a very common slang word for free. Another variation is fee tawseel majjaani? which means 'is there free delivery?' Both get the job done perfectly.
