“Never ever order from Ocado. I have never had a problem free order. It is Holy Thursday I have 17 people coming to lunch tomorrow. I was told this afternoon that my order was running 2 and 1/2 hours late. I have just received a phone call from the driver who is now not going to deliver my order. There is no delivery slot for tomorrow morning! They are cancelling my order. I have called your call line and was then spoken to very rudely by your representative, Bob who hung up on my husband when he got cross with about rude he was being. Your customer service is appalling. Your service generally is appalling. I will never use you again and will be publicising my dissatisfaction as widely as I can. P.S I put 1 star because I had to”

“Not for the first time, an Ocado delivery van LK67OPA has woken us up early (for us) in the morning. Leaving their engine running whilst parked outside our next door neighbours house for nearly 15 minutes before 7.00 am, is out of order. Last time we had to complain, the driver also left his radio on, blasting out some terrible noise.”

“This service is unacceptable.... I cancelled my order within the timescale by removing items from my basket and checked out, this stated that it was editing my order. I then checked the app and it stated that there were no deliveries scheduled hence thinking it had been successfully cancelled.... how wrong was I. I woke to a text from Ocado telling me my order would be delivered. After 2 phone calls and an email to customer services I received a call from a manager insisting that nothing could be done. I must take the perishable items or still be charged, even though in my view I had cancelled everything. Terrible service, very unfair. I WILL NOT ever use them again and will tell everyone I see about this poor service.”

We apologise for the disappointment caused Lucy, emptying your basket won't cancel your order as when you're making changes you need to checkout to confirm changes you make, and it's not possible to checkout an empty basket. We'll pass your feedback on to the relevant team so hopefully make this more clear.

“Very poor quality and customer service lately - Ocado used to be a class act. Not any more. Fresh fruit and grocery are often shoved in the freezer section of the home delivery service and as a result spoiled. Last two deliveries I had hairy tomatoes, clearly very, very poor storage back at the warehouse, and the couldn't give a stuff. Had hell of a job getting them to close my account and remove my details due to intransigent staff. \if they cannot even look after tomatoes properly then one wonders what other poorly kept produce has been putting us at risk. Sort of conduct you would expect from Del Boy, not from a company run by fat cat executives. Another British company headed for the can.”

“Moronic customer services and a basically redundant service now that most supermarkets deliver directly. Why pay a mark-up and suffer dreadful service. After being a loyal customer i’ll never use Ocado again.”

“Have shopped with Ocado for years spending upwards of £500 per month. Got food poisoning from Ocado - probably Findlater pate BUT Ocado don't want to know. They lie about the details so it's to the food safety agency now and that's £500 a month we'll spend elsewhere and a lot more by everyone else we tell that you can't trust Ocado.”

“Having been a loyal customer for some time, I had a large order cancelled unexpectedly. I only found out because I received an email. If it was my bank or any other reputable organisation where I had been a customer for some time, they would have called me directly. When I rang and asked why, they said it was because of the amount - which was large - and asked for proof of address. Given they had been delivering to my address for over a year I thought they might know this; however, I duly sent it over. However, Ocado could not offer any secure transfer method by which I could send it and refused to accept the password protected scan I sent. Instead they asked me to send an unprotected version via email, therefore asking me to take a risk on the security of my personal and sensitive information, which does not at all fit with the protections offered under the Data Protection Act. After multiple lengthy calls during which all I heard was 'our systems won't allow us to do that' or 'our finance department won't accept that' I am left appalled by the poor quality of their processes and their customer service. A triumph of blindly following poorly constructed processes over common sense and good customer service. Boo hiss, Ocado.”

“I've been a customer for the past 7/6 years, however, I've noticed the service has deteriorated over the past few months; deliveries constantly delayed, food items bruised and damaged. Also had my xmas order cancel due to warehousing problems and they couldn't deliver next day. Explained to customer service (spoke to Tunde Williams) who had no clue about customer service and was completely unprofessional. This is the last time I'll use Ocado; back to the normal in-store shopping.”

“Ordered some bananas and was sent bananas that were dark green in colour. Emailed Customer Services to help resolve the matter and was given the run around. Appalling customer service. Shopped at Amazon Fresh prior to this and the customer service is a million times better. Ocado has a better range of products compared to Amazon Fresh but the customer service is shockingly bad. Will not be shopping with Ocado again. I've attached a photo of the Ocado Organic 'Class 1' Bananas. I think Ocado should change the classification from to Class 1 to Class inedible.”

“My delivery was booked between 7:30-8:30pm. I was contacted and told it would be a hour later at 9:30pm. Ocado didn't arrive nor was I contacted again to explain the delay. Delivery was finally attempted at 11:00 pm. Needless to say I was out cold and only realised once I'd received an email. There are far better services available from other stores.”

“Very poor stuff being swapped all the time but the thing that did it for me was the stupid drivers they employ. They come in to my property and drive on the grass to turn around instead off staying on the track. This time it had been raining and this time the van got stuck surprise surprise I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. Made me miss an appointment because the drive way was blocked. He could not even say sorry.”

“Awful eCommerce and customer service! I put an order yesterday in the morning supposed to arrive today in the afternoon. At 1:40 am this has been cancelled without any pre communication because there where problems with payment. They had one full day to double check the payment details and they have done when I was asleep and had no possibility to reach out. When I called them in the morning after seeing the only email they sent me confirming the cancellation, customer service was unable to help. This is a ridiculous eCommerce, none in 2017 doesn't send a notice email saying there are problems with payments before taking actions, even more when deliveries are never available for the same day. I can only suggest users to use other Food shopping retailers and Ocado to improve their service and to become very professional. I won't buy from them in the future.”

Hi Valeria, we're sorry to hear your order was cancelled as the pre-authorisation request sent to your card provider was declined. The reason we don't request this immediately is because you can still edit and increase your order up until your cut-off time. Once this time passes and you can no longer edit your order we'll request the payment is reserved. We emailed you as soon as this failed but we appreciate that at this time it's too late to get a new delivery for the same day. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and we'll pass your feedback on to our Payments team.
