“I'd never use any other online supermarket delivery service but Ocado. Their website is a doddle to navigate (even for an oldie like me!) and the checkout process really simple. There are always generous offers and also lots of offers on your favourite items that you've ordered before - Ocado try to tailor them to you. Occasionally I also receive a free gift or sample, and they always send a gift to celebrate the anniversary of your first order. Their products are of the highest quality, including their own brand, and the delivery men and women are a delight - always very friendly and helpful and willing to take your shopping through to the kitchen if desired (my elderly Aunt had a nice young man put her frozen food directly into her freezer once when she was feeling quite frail). All in all, a fantastic service and one which I couldn't do without!”

“my only criticism is that the products are put carelessly into bags - and mixed up so that you might get coffee in with cleaning products and sometimes cream or yoghurt tips up and the lids come off. Punctuality is excellent and the drivers are always helpful and cheerful.”

Hi Maggy, thanks for leaving a review. We're glad to hear you think we have a 5 star service! It's disappointing to hear about the difficulties with the packing though, cleaning products should never be mixed in with any food stuffs so this is very concerning to hear. We'd be very happy to pass on this feedback to our Warehouse team, if you can email us at ocado@ocado.com, with Reviews.co.uk in the subject, we'll do our best to help.

“Love the product range (the extensive organic, health-food additions over the past few years). Great offers. The fresh fish counter has also improved immensely. Super friendly delivery people. I am grateful for Ocado every day!”

“Everyone who works for Ocado seems friendly and helpful. I like the fact that often they are earlier than expected and seldom later. But fruit and vegetables are often packaged when wet and can't be kept for long.”

Aww, thanks for your kind words Parveen on how friendly our team are, it really means a lot to us. We're very sorry to hear though that you have been receiving bruised fruit as it is certainly not the quality of produce that we would expect. Please email us on ocado@ocado.com with www.reviews.co.uk in the subject line as we'd like to get this passed on to our Food Tech team.

“The service is reliable deliveries are usually within the time slot, if there is a delay they telephone to explain and are always polite. The one frustrating thing is if an ordered product is out of stock more often than not there is no offer of a substitute which if it happens to be the main meal for that day it is not helpful. Could there be somewhere to indicate if a substitute would be preferred? Otherwise Ocado makes modern day shopping a dream.”

“They are very competent and the drivers are very pleasant. Also they credit you for the odd orange which was past its prime. I tried tesco once and I do mean once. Sainsburys twice. No comparison.”

“Have always been very happy with the service from Ocado. There is a really good selection of products and I like the prompts on forgotten items. In all the years I have been using the service only twice was there a problem getting my delivery on time, both due to exceptionally bad weather conditions and I was kept updated all the time. Ocado has made my life so much easier.”

“This service used to be 5 star. Deliveries are mostly on time which is good. Lately A lot of the times, packages are smashed/cracked and liquid is spread all over the products. Also a couple of times food doesn't seem to have kept well. Vegtables seem to be old and not have a long shelf life. We've started to look elsewhere for veg or get frozen. Whoever picks it isn't as fussy as we are.”

Goodness James, we're so sorry to hear that you've been receiving damaged products from us. This is not the level of service that we'd expect and we're truly sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused. It also saddens us to hear that you've been getting old veg and we'd like to report both back to our Warehouse team. Could you email us on ocado@ocado.com with www.reviews.co.uk in the subject line?

“Overall very good for variety and availability of stock, delivery options are excellent especially with the SmartPass, delivery drivers are friendly and very helpful. Refunds for missing or damaged items are promptly approved and sometimes arranged at the door by the driver if items are seen to be damaged then. The most serious shortcoming has always been there - packing. Too often, large heavy items are packed on top of more delicate items, such as cartons of milk on top of the bread, boxes of cat food on top of the yogurts. It doesn't happen often enough to merit a lower overall marking, but it does happen too often. If there was an "excellent" rating available, Ocado would have to resolve the packing problem to earn that marking.”

We're glad to hear that you've been enjoying the service overall John, but it worrying to hear that we've let ourselves down from the tops marks due to packing. It saddens us to hear that the packing of your shopping has not met the highest that you'd expect and those that we set ourselves. We'd like to take a further look & get it reported back to the our Warehouse team. Please email us on ocado@ocado.com with www.reviews.co.uk with in the subject line.

“Good range of products at competetive prices. Polite and friendly delivery people.”

“I LOVE ocado. There is no better food delivery for service. I have tried all of them for at least a few weeks each and it's head and shoulders above them all. The food is never wrong and always the best quality. The drivers are rarely late and always helpful. It isn't as expensive as you might think either. I stopped doing any online shopping for a few months to see if I saved money and shopped at a cheaper supermarket instead. I found I spent more money as well as wasting a lot of time. I honestly can't think why anyone who has a computer would shop in store for food, and if you do use an online supermarket, I promise ocado is the best.”

“I love Ocado because of the live stock system, so you know you won't get lumbered with substitutions when your groceries arrive, unlike all the other major grocery home delivery services. I also love the one hour slot (compared to competitior's 2 hour slots). The quality of the food is excellent, the drivers are polite and helpful. My only gripe is poor packaging of desserts (usually on their side, ending up in an unpresentable mess) but this is the same for other home delivery services too.”

We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying using the service Suzy as it's always our aim to make the weekly shop that much easier. We're always trying to find new ways of making the website more useful for you and we're glad that you like the live stock, which shows you whether items will be in stock or not. It does sadden us though to hear that the packing of your shops has let us down and we're truly sorry for that. We'd like to get this reported back to our Warehouse team so that we can improve in this area of the service. Could you email us on ocado@ocado.com with www.reviews.co.uk in the subject line?

Thanks for taking then time to email us Suzy. We've chased your query about the packing up with our Warehouse team and they are looking into how we can improve this area of then services. Fingers crossed you'll see these improvements in your future orders. To say sorry we emailed you a voucher to use on your next shop.

“Clear website, lots of goods, offers and specials, price wise can match other stores. Makes shopping enjoyable. Always deliver in the time slot, if there is a delay or sometimes arrive early, they always contact, If any problems with any of the goods, dealt with straight away. The drivers are very helpful and pleasant and any staff I have dealt with at customer service have been excellent.”

“On the whole shopping is easy, website is good, informative, I like the shelf life of items, items are easy to find. Drivers on the whole are very good and helpful, in all the years I have shopped with Ocado, I think we have only had to complain once. Biggest complaint is packaging, invariably our bread is delivered squashed, some bags are filled to capacity, while others are relatively empty. One thing I would like is the opportunity to state if a substitute is acceptable on items if they are not available. Orders have been delivered on time, one was a little late when we had thick snow some years ago, but the driver waited while my husband drove me to the hairdresser which was a short drive away. Drivers delivery is quiet unlike other retailers, you can tell if they are in the street. Refunds and queries are processed without delay, The variety of goods is excellent, the vegetables and salad arrives fresh and most out live the sell by date. On the whole very satisfied, have tried other companies, but do not come up to your standards.”

“always on time or if early, call to check its OK to deliver. Had well over 100 deliveries and only twice had substituted items (unlike Tesco) and on both occasions the items were satisfactory. Website is very easy to use and good for seeing special offers and reminders on things you may have forgotten to add to your list.”
