According to Ocado's message today I have been added to the priority list to edit Friday's order - have I heck; as soon as I try to log in it says welcome back and kicks me off to the same stupid message that they have no slots for today. Their IT department is just hopeless; only redeeming feature is the friendly drivers - if ever I get to see one gain Ray Sadler

Have been an Ocado customer for more than a decade. While I understand it's been a difficult time, it's been an absolute nightmare over the past few weeks with ordering, getting slots and deliveries. It's so frustrating to be in an endless queue. Have received confusing messages from them regarding our usual 'reserved' slot and they seem to have no idea what they are doing. Only redeeming feature is that the delivery drivers are still lovely to deal with. I am (and am sure that others are too) looking at other options and once this is over, they may just be a few customers down ...

I am in utter disbelief how they can plummet from my normal five stars to zero in such a short time. Having shopped with Ocado for many years, I was disappointed that I couldn't place an order repeatedly, despite being a SmartPass customer. Being placed in a virtual queue was archaic, but worse was to come: having been looped through FOUR queues, received a message 'Oops! Something went wrong: please call...' That was the final straw. Add to that, social media was oozing praise, with 'Karen' types openly saying how they were impressed with their FIRST order, and another for BOTH her deliveries within the same week. The same breed then went on to bray like donkeys asking why established customers were disappointed, and to 'be positive'. Well, Karens, I hope you stash of food rots. Ocado, you've failed miserably during a difficult time and your 'high demand' mantra is pathetic. The email received saying 'we'll promise you a link soon' never arrived. Lies. You've abandoned your reliable customer base. I will never use you again, because you treat customers as commodities. No doubt the company will fall further down the ratings as you ditch Waitrose and shack up with M&S. One star is too good a score.

Hiya My Son was so worried about me not getting the groceries from Supermarkets for me. So he decided to look on Sat 28th March on Ocado and found a slot for yesterday 29th. All my groceries on the list arrived promplty by your friendly driver. Thank you so much. I would have struggled to get my favourite things

Would rather Ocado were honest and said up front that some customers will simply not get a delivery slot throughout the pandemic - would at least avoid people’s frustration hanging in a queue! Might lose more loyal customers if you don’t start communicating more

I have just received my confirmation for next week’s order under Ocado Reserved but it contained the following message - We were unable to reserve the following future orders: Saturday, 18 April 2020: We were unable to reserve a delivery slot for this day. Please visit our website to select an alternative delivery. I accept that this is Easter weekend but having shown loyalty to them for a considerable length of time - to be given this information under the current climate is not the customer service I would expect from Ocado. Lots of people rely on the service and pay for reserved deliveries - these people will now have to rebook slots - if available or venture out against Government advice to do their shopping. Not what I expect from a responsible company. Pull your socks up Ocado and respect your customers.

Allowed me to purchase delivery pass. Allowed me to do an online shop. NO Delivery slots despite being in endless virtual queues for days on end and wasting 20 hours watching my queue position which all came to nothing. This shop was NOT for me but my registered blind elderly relative so I am VERY unhappy with Ocado. Not good

I am in a state of complete disbelief as I contemplate the utterly shambolic approach by Ocado to the current crisis. A crisis of unprecedented proportions it is, yes, but Ocado's handling of it and the treatment meted out to loyal customers has been shockingly bad. To cite just one example: Why do you see fit to string your customers along with false statements? Last night the hopelessly inadequate/misleading 'queue' system (it's not a queue, it's a 'fob off') told me that I should come back today (Sunday) between 8 am and 3 pm to edit my order for this Tuesday. A ray of light I foolishly thought to myself, as I hadn't been able to access the website, despite innumerable attempts, over the past week. And what I am I told when I attempt to access the website this morning at 8 am? That the website is still inaccessible and "if you want to edit an order for later this week, please come back on Monday." Specifics now completely absent and absolutely no sign that I will ever be able to edit my order for Tuesday. I haven't even mentioned the blatant profiteering (where have all the offers gone?) in this time of crisis, the fact the customer services team has gone AWOL (don't expect any response via email or online chat)...

Absolutely agree with negative reviews. I have had good service for years (12 plus) with Ocado, until the current crises.. No loyalty to regular customers & considering they deal only on line, trying to access & order is now non existent. They do not deserve any future customers appalling service when really needed.

1 star but would have given them zero. For an online retailer, the service is appalling and they’re profiting by cancelling reserved slots and their online service has been offline for nearly 48 hours!

Ocado you have been amazing in an extraordinary time for us all. You have delivered to me and, more importantly, those who are vulnerable. Your website is spot on, what you read is what you get.

While understanding the pressures - we need to have clearer information. We need to know if there is any point returning on another day. Waiting and waiting only to find out there are no slots, or to be timed out is time wasted, if in fact we need to find other sources of basic groceries. What I want is the company to be honest and to create a proper waiting list, which would be fairer surely.

Where is the Duty of Care that other on line grocery delivery services fulfil? A friend, like me in her seventies, vulnerable and without a car, was quickly and easily able to make her on line order with Sainsbury’s yesterday and was given a delivery slot for today. Sainsbury's had her date of birth and had prioritised her. She is so relieved and grateful. Ocado do not prioritise anyone or anything other than their own greed which has led them to this sorry situation. What is wrong with this Company? It doesn’t bother them in the slightest that the elderly and vulnerable who should be remaining in isolation at home are forced to go outside and mingle with others in order to get food to survive. Who cares? They are going to die soon anyway? Ocado you are a disgrace but you will reap what you sow. Note to CEO - why do you not have the dates of birth of your customers - is the answer Greed by any chance?

Been with Ocado for 12 plus years, spending a minimum of £500 a month. Like so many here, not been able to us Ocado for 2 weeks now but they had the cheek to collect money for our smart pass. Last time I looked there was a 2 hour wait for a delivery slot. Much easier to go to the supermarket ( if you can). I emailed Ocado to cancel the smart pass but still no acknowledgment after 3 days. I hope all their new customers will stay loyal as I am taking my business elsewhere. So disappointed.

I had a delivery for 11pm to 11.59pm on the 25.03.2020, the eve of my birthday. I stayed up to 12.45am and nothing arrived from Ocado. Money was taken from paypal for the order of £123 and the order was marked 'delivered'. I am flabbergasted with this. Have emailed Ocado(as no phone customer service) but have not received any explanation so far. Meanwhile Ocado has my money and I have no food delivered by them!!!! Fantastic birthday gift!!!!!!!!!!!

Never let a crisis go to waste - right Ocado? They should be ashamed of themselves - profiting off exploitation of a national crisis / panic. No communication, apologies or acceptance of responsibility for the terrible way they are treating long term registered and vulnerable customers who have been left in the lurch by them.

Obviously Ocado doesn’t read their reviews. If they did maybe we, existing and vulnerable customers, would understand why we’ve been denied any service. They have the nerve to issue emails which bear no relationship to the truth and, almost at the same time, rub salt into the wound by announcing they’ve deducted the amount for our smart pass. No service and principles at all.

I just would like to know who has discovered this pointless virtual queue. Just let us log in and checkout and see that there are no available slots and that's end of the story. We will understand that you have no available slots in just 5-10mins. However waiting for endless virtual queue for hs everyday and not being able to access your website is really pointless and time wasting. I managed to access it after 3 days on constant virtual queue to only find out that there are no available slots. Why???? why do I need to wait that long for that? and plus you are emailing to let us know that you have available slots. Where are those? and why are you causing so much distress to people while you have no slots? the least you can do is to return the smart pass fee to all customers who are going through this distress and paying for nothing. Really disappointing and I have been a loyal customer for Ocado for a while now.
