I am 83 and my wife 73. She has leukemia and has no immune system so told like myself we can't go out for 12 weeks. Being the age we are, we do not eat as much as we used to so ordered online around £90 to get free delivery using Ocado every 3 / 4 weeks enough food for that period but found no slots open to ourselves, so emailed Ocado stating we were on the list of most critical people and they had been advised, only to told, as we find as you did not order from us every week or every couple of weeks, we can now only deliver to our most loyal customers. If you don't want our business so be it, but in harder times just remember, did you help us in our times of need !!!!!

Ocado emailed last month to cancel my regular smart pass slot’s as they said demand was high and they couldn’t guarantee the slot.But finding out some people are getting two slots a week when others get none is disgusting.

Despite having been a customer on and off for years I have only managed to get one delivery since the lockdown. Admittedly we are not in the vulnerable group but my husband is close to 70, so I was extremely disappointed to hear that some customers e.g. Mrs Gove are being offered 2 slots a week!

I am an elderly person listed by the NHS as extremely vulnerable, but Ocado refuse to give me access to priority delivery slots because, they say, I am "not a regular customer." In fact, I've used them fortnightly for more than five years. I asked what constitutes a "regular customer" and their staff said that they are not at liberty to say. Ocado have left me in the lurch, along with many other extremely vulnerable customers. I find them utterly despicable.

Ocado drivers in our area of central london continuously ignore traffic signs and enforcement cameras and drive through our sleepy Mews at great speed. They are not even delivering but cutting through - some drivers have said they don’t mind getting tickets as their company pays for them ( If I was a shareholder I would want these drivers sacked!) Ocado should take pride in having a good and responsible team of drivers which they do not - their Customer Services is a sham that makes a lot of promises to rectify the problems but does nothing. Marks and Spencer should think very very carefully about taking on Ocado for their home deliveries! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING STANDARD OF OCADO DRIVERS

Ocado are terrible. It’s a shame as the first few experiences were good. But it went down hill from there. More than once, our shopping has been delivered with half the items missing. Coming on a Sunday with nothing else open this is not the best! The customer service team don’t offer re delivery, and have no process to rectify this, which is shocking given it’s obviously common

I received an email from Ocado. It confirmed I was on the governments shield list as extremely vulnerable. However, it was unable to identify me on their data base. They suggested I should go to another supermarket. There was no acknowledgement that I am a smart pass holder. It is impossible to access my account. Also no response when I requested a refund of my smart pass. Reading other comments, Ocado is profiteering from the current crisis. Their shareholders should be aware of the customer backlash when this pandemic is over.

We have been shopping at Ocado for nearly 10 years. We spend hundreds of pounds on weekly shopping and like everyone struggled to find any delivery slots in March. In early April we received an email from Ocado stating that as one of their most loyal customers we will be given priority slots. This we were. However, there is a catch all of he slots even early morning and late evening on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are only available at £6.99. Every single slot every day of the week is priced at their maximum amount £6.99. In addition, none of the promotions run by Waitrose are reflected in Ocado prices making them even more expensive (Waitrose also does not charge a delivery fee for orders over £50). Having written to Ocado, I received the following “cut and paste” response Dear Mr NNN, Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we vary our delivery charges to help smoothen demand as part of our standard year-round delivery price policy. Our standard maximum delivery charge of £6.99 has not changed. We are experiencing exceptionally high demand at the moment meaning more slots are at the higher end of our slot price range than normal. Thank you for your patience as we work around the clock to get as much food into as many homes as possible and play our part in feeding the nation. I will make sure to pass on your feedback and please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Kind regards, Needless to say that when things return to normal I will be taking my weekly shopping elsewhere. It is a shameless case of greed and profiteering by Ocado at a time when a little more humility and support of its loyal customers would be a better strategy.

Ocado are completely abandoning their customers who need them the most. They are not offering deliveries to shielded customers, despite their website saying otherwise, and instead offering them to loyal customers with the ability to visit stores.

Ocado failed to deliver my order and they have charged me for perishable items. We have checked the cameras and during this time no Ocado van arrived. I have contacted Ocado who do not care and said they will be charging me because the driver cancelled my order. The driver is at fault I received no call and there is a Conceirge number to call on our gates this was not called either. I have been charged but lots more than I was told so I guess they have charged me premium for substitute items. My last order totalled nearly £400. I received damaged items, cracked eggs and paid an additional £32.85 for substitute items which were really poor quality. Ocado enough is enough never have I been treated so appallingly by a company. Your customer service representatives do not listen, clearly you are so flooded with complaints you are not spending time to deal with these properly. The fact is your driver did not follow the correct protocol and I will not be using you again and neither will my family. You have lost yet another loyal long-standing customer. I hope you treat your Marks and Spencer’s customers with more compassion. Just for the record Tesco and Morrison’s provide substitute items at this time at no extra cost and they are their finest range. My friend said she ordered with an online supermarket who missed some of her order so they returned that same day to deliver. If Ocado thought about how to mould their corporate approach in a time of crisis I feel they would receive only positive reviews. As it stands Ocado’s reputation will not recover from the reviews online there are far too many. Shame on you Ocado I see you as a thieving company now.

The driver never approached our door, never knocked, Ocado cancelled order and charged for perishable goods - all in the first 6 minutes of the delivery slot. Ocado refused to give a refund. Customers, beware, they don’t follow the delivery process they state on their website in the FAQ section. If the driver says there is no response at the door without approaching the door, they cancel the order, and you pay for the goods which go somewhere else.

Regular weekly Ocado customer – NO MORE! I was a regular weekly Ocado customer before COVID-19, NEVER AGAIN! Yes, vulnerable people should get priority, but the way regular customers have been treated by Ocado is disgusting – they have literally turned their back on us! Why are regular customers just kicked off the site as soon as they login? Why is there no priority for regular customers who have not been able to shop for weeks on end now? Surely the longer a regular customer has been waiting for a delivery slot the more they should be placed up the priority list! Fortunately, other supermarkets are different.

Shocking mixed messages and broken promises. New slots promised for 6pm daily, often to vaporise by 5.30. Forced to queue only to be locked out. Even locked out after getting on, securing a slot and starting to shop. Emails from vulnerable customers met with standard platitudes. The fact that the management are taking such huge bonuses while their customers are suffering such degradation is nothing short of scandalous.

I’m a long term anytime delivery smart pass customer and have paid my sub for years. I haven’t been able to get a delivery for nearly four weeks now. Like a lot of people I got an email three weeks ago saying I’d be put in a group and allowed access to the site, limited to one order every seven days. I have never received an email, I’ve been bounced off the site because I’m not a priority customer. I got on for the first time tonight only to find there were absolutely no delivery slots. There’s no way I can get a delivery and I’m totally mystified by the 5 star reviews some people are giving here. Why do some people get deliveries and a lot of us get none? The person on this forum who accused customers of causing the problem by hoarding ought to be ashamed. I’m a single elderly person with no car who does not hoard food, I don’t want to visit supermarkets and I’m managing by the kindness of others and finding local businesses who will deliver a veg box. Today Ocado kindly took their monthly payment despite the fact that they haven’t been able to offer me a single opportunity to order a delivery this month. I’m absolutely appalled and I will not be using Ocado ever again.

I have been a loyal customer for many years and recommended ocado to countless people but they have failed miserably during this pandemic! I am on the government extremely vunerable list and have emailed them with the letter and asked them to allow me access with to the site to no avail. 3 weeks and countless emails (via contact form as emails now shut down) I get the response 'we can confirm you are on the government shield list but do not count you as a regular customer' ?!.. I can only assume this is because I do not have a smart pass as I have shopped weekly with them for years!! Every email sent takes days to be responded to and previous emails are not read. Almost every response has been vague and generic. Absolute shocking service. We are having to rely on government food parcels (although we are financially able to purchase food) as we have no family near and are not signed up with any other supermarkets. Appalling service in this time of crisis.

I have been a loyal Ocado customer for over two years. That loyalty was treated with contempt initially during the Covid-19 crisis, with absolutely minimal access to website and zero access to delivery slots. Only recently did Ocado wake up to the fact that if they were to have any shred of credibility after this crisis is over then they have to look after their loyal customer base. My loyalty was eventually 'rewarded' with better access to the website and delivery slots. HOWEVER, the average price of my weekly shop has now shot up dramatically - due to the almost complete absence of any offers or discounts. Now that is complete and blatant profiteering in a time of crisis. Also, I have just taken delivery of this week's shopping, which I already knew had an alarming number of substitutions and missing items. Very nice lady delivery driver, but she was gone in a flash, before I had any time to check anything - not necessarily a criticism in the current circumstances. But the real problem was that I then discovered a huge number of items, which I had been charged for, were completely missing. The point of online shopping now completely undermined, as I will now have to buy the items in person and risk exposure to the virus. I have been most disappointed by Ocado's performance and complete disregard for their customers since coronavirus took hold. Yes, we can understand the huge pressure that has been placed on the system, but come on, Ocado's apparently state of the art systems should have been able to fare a lot better than they have. Plus, there is no excuse whatsoever to shamelessly profit from the crisis. I am only persisting with Ocado as it is the only way at the moment I have any chance of getting any home deliveries. But once this crisis is over I will NOT be remaining an Ocado customer and I very much suspect that others will also be leaving in droves, judging by the vast number of negative reviews. Senior management and shareholders need to be seriously worried. Your once loyal customers will not forget.

A once loyal customer who has been subject to mistreatment from a company who lacks honesty and extorts money.
