In Scotland at least, online shops have a deal whereby they're allowed to make a flat charge for bags (40p I think) on the basis that it is too much of an administrative burden to count the bags used in each delivery. However Asda and Sainsburys, the ones I've used so far, both allow you to choose whether you want bags or not during the checkout process.
We always choose bagless, then we meet them at the kitchen door with a couple of ikea sacks. The shopping gets transferred to those, and the driver goes on his merry way.
