@Ynnead - i searched melcourt sylvagrow John Innes on amazon and on googlesearch. A company called suregreen ( no idea who they are ) had them on their own website yesterday (50l bag) for 7.99 (collect from essex) with 9.99 delivery charge for delivery ( i stuck in a random london postcode given your location states london- Amazon had same seller offering "free delivery" but priced at 16.something. Note it does not say John innes no 3 , but when i looked on the melcourt website itself, there was only one peat free sylvagrow with john innes listed on the products so I can only assume is the same thing.
I would like to make clear I have no idea how reputable or otherwise suregreen / sure-green are as a seller , I have never dealt with them and am in no way connected. Just trying to help @Ynnead, not intended as an advert of any kind.
Most companies who use a regular carrier have a fixed upper limit price agreed @JennyJ, so it doesn't always mean extra expense. Overall, they come out on top, due to all the other gains from their overpricing of many items

Always worth ringing any local garden centres as some will deliver locally for free or for a reasonable charge. The last lot I had from near here were twelve 50l bags which cost £5 for delivery (total, not each.) The bags cost a little more each than some online suppliers, but that was easily covered by the low cost of delivery.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
@Ynnead - agreed , but as per my message above as melcourt ( which makes sylvagrow) only has one john innes peat free product so I would expect this is a labelling difference rather than a product difference.
My recent search showed all the different 50 litre Sylvagrow varieties for about £8 or £9 each with a few outrageous outliers like Crocus. My personal feeling is that if I want sand and topsoil in my Sylvagrow, it's cheaper to buy them separately and mix it in. The Sylvagrow organic is my favourite, though the multipurpose is nearly as good.
