“This is the second time I have ordered from Ocado. Overall pleased with the products and the offers (saved £20 as I spent over £60 and delivery was free). Delivery slot was between 10:30 to 11:30 on Saturday 22 February, Stephen (delivery person) parked outside my house more or less at 10:30, I opened the door and saw that he was readying the shopping, sticking in boxes. He then brought the shopping to the porch area inside front door; not even bringing it inside to the living room let alone the kitchen (small house living room then kitchen) I said I will return the bags and Stephen mumbled to the effect of saying ‘‘if you’re quick’ I quickly emptied the shopping and gave him the bags and said ‘is that quick enough?,.’ And closed the door. I found Stephen to be rude and his attitude was can’t be bothered attitude. He took longer time to bring the shopping from van to door-didn’t need it to be in the boxes (the first delivery person was polite and brought the shopping to the living room) I thought Ocado delivered to the kitchen table, is that not correct?”

“Delivery was prompt and on time, delivery driver Harry was very polite, efficient, organised and friendly. It was the first time I used Ocado online shopping and was so impressed, I have used other supermarkets online shopping before and had never been so satisfied. I would definitely recommend it and will use it again.”

“Deliver over an hour late (this happens alot if early morning, late evening) and i had to go to work. Rang them and organised a redelivery. Delivery still arrived. Redelivery next day also still arrived but but was sent to my old house. Was told i wouldn’t be charged for one of the deliveries. However i was charged. Rang to explain and organise refund and the ‘customer service’ rep wouldn’t accept that a refund had been offered and kept debating with me about why it should be refunded. Until I asked to speak to a supervisor. Promised a call back from a supervisor within the hour. Still waiting. Ocado used To be great but has really gone down hill in the last 12 months.”

“Everything is ok until it's not ok... So last time we did shopping my partner was home waiting for delivery (2-3 pm). They didn't arrive to our flat, I don't understand why (our intercom is working, checked it). They called me, but I was at work and couldn't pick up. I called back about 3:15 pm. They said 'there was no response from property' (how??? again, my partner was waiting at home), but they said they would re-deliver, fantastic. Then they put me on the hold and after that they said they are not able to do that! AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING, AGAIN: EVERYTHING, EVEN THOUGH NOTHING WILL BE DELIVERED. I was shocked. Wrote the email, they called me next day OFFERING NEXT DAY DELIVERY, without frozen products... Ugh ok but let's do it, I am glad to save at least a bit of money. They call me again. Now they say THEY WILL NOT DELIVER. But I will be charged for only for frozen & fridge stuff. Ugh. Well, still better than paying full amount. I write an email to confirm the final version... AND I GET THE ANSWER THAT I HAVE TO PAY A FULL AMOUNT. Wtf??? So I got two different pieces of information the day before and they're both incorrect??? I wrote a few more emails. But they seem to think that they can tell you whatever they want and change it a few times as they want. It seems highly unprofessional. A decent company would offer to stick to conditions that were offered (one of two different versions, I would be happy with any; even though, to be honest, I still think that it's not even my fault that delivery didn't arrrive). Except of that one situation, the shop is quite expensive, but acceptable with some discounts they offer... It becomes worse when you paid already and waiting for a delivery and it turns out that they didn't have a product available that is a key product for you... So you ordered shopping, but still have to go to the shop to get that stuff. Just warning.”

“They posted a card through my letterbox stating that they are now delivering to my area, but when I called them they said actually they are not. This is false advertising and they are just wasting people's time, so if you receive one of these adverts, don't even bother!”

“First I had to put my credit card details in before it showed the summary of cost, I thought it was odd because I like to know how much I’ll be charged before I give out my details... but oh boy did it go down from there! The final receipt that was emailed to us showed £45 and so we had £45 in our account. Then one day later when they charged the card it was declined because they attempted to charge us £49??? We were surprised and called them and they said in the terms and conditions there is a cost for weighted items and bags added on the end....! Which is fine, if you have to weigh items of course I’ll pay for that. But TELL ME. Tiny terms and conditions is not the correct way to notify customers of a different price. So disappointed with the lack of respect this showed to me. I’m glad I didn’t keep too much money in that account because god knows how much they might’ve said it cost. When business’s start telling you one cost and charging another we have a serious problem. Will never use or recommend.”

“Poor service. Driver phoned shortly before delivery due to say that he could not make it due to floods (Amazon did!). Be that is it may, the Ocado system updated to say it had been delivered, when it had not been. Phoned the next day and was told it would be sorted out. The following day Ocado took the money from my credit card. Phoned the following day to be told the driver had been off and therefore still investigating the claim. Only when I asked to speak to supervisor was I told I would be refunded. The moral of this case is that good service is rectifying things immediately you become aware of a problem, not days later after causing your customer hassle.”

“Ocado's Customer care and service are appalling. On our first delivery the Ocado van hit the back end of our car slicing through the bumper assembly and grazing the wheelarch (we were the only car in the street). We decided to use our own insurance company instead of Sopp-Sopp which is the Ocado insurers as it was more convenient for us and I was not happy with the repairers they were going to use. Well I thought that being a new customer they would maybe send us a voucher as a goodwill gesture. Thought wrong not even a free tin of baked beans. If you value your motor vehicle and its parked outside your house try another delivery firm. We have in the past used Morrisons and Sainsbury's and have never had any issues. Drivers are polite, courteous, helpful and above all "professional". We were lured into shopping with Ocado due to a flyer being posted through our letterbox. We haven't received similar items from Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco or Asda. There is a message there. None of the big four need to tout for business like the local kebab shop.”

“I paid for groceries on 9/12/19. Groceries were delivered and I saw the payment in my credit card app. 3 days ago I see an email saying the payment had not been taken due to issue with MasterCard and they would now take payment. This took me over limit on my credit card. Called, emailed and spoke to manager, Ocado do not care at all that this will affect my credit file. All I wanted was to pay them with another card and for them to reimburse the payment. Computer says no, speak to MasterCard. Worst customer service possible, if I receive an over limit charge or marker on my file I will be making a formal complaint. Avoid this company, customers do not matter.”

“You’re just awful plan and simple! The fact I was told they could not deliver 15 minuets before the delivery time is just a joke. I will never use yourselves again! That’s a promise”

“Exceptionally poor service. Misleading promotions with terms and conditions hidden at the bottom, they forgot to take payment so the bank blocked my husband's card - good job he had another on him. They just argued the whole time on both points. The driver doesn't come when they are supposed to either. I will just use Sainsburys or Waitrose.”

“Disappointingly very poor customer service. Did not deliver groceries and yet still took money from my bank account and even sent message to my online account that it had delivered that day! When I sent email to customer services to say that I had not in fact received any delivery, they said it would be looked into, but never heard back from them. Waited for 1 week and wrote back to them to complain - they said they would refund the money that was taken from my bank, which took nearly another week to reach my account. Would not recommend using this service again.”

“We've used Ocado for our weekly shop for years but won't be doing that ever again after learning of their plans to build a distribution depot right next door to local primary school and park. They even tried to sneak planning application through over Christmas when they thought nobody was looking. "Our goal is to become the UK's most environmentally-friendly supermarket". Yeah right. Don't believe their green-washing nonsense.”
