“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.”

“What was the point of queuing up for hours online to attempt to book a slot, when your site would only show the next 3 days? Sorry, but for loyal customers, key workers, and the vulnerable, shoddy!”

“What happened to loyalty to your customers? Have had a weekly delivery for years because I’m a carer and have a disabled person in the house, and now that I need it more than ever I can’t get one for love or money!”

“Been a smart pass member with a regular reserved slot for years. Whoever is making decisions about online services at the moment (CEO has ultimate responsibility) for it's regular customers seems either incompetent or has decided to put greedy profits ahead of ethical standards. Why have reserved slots which customers have been paying for for many years being taken by new customers? Many regular customers have decided to pay for this service prior to current situation because they need to plan ahead on a regular basis regardless - not just when there is a national crisis. Why take on new customers, when it is clear that you are not coping with long time existing ones. Aren't there any regulations which stop this kind of thing happening in the UK? Absolutely appalled.”

“I wait hours to edit an order. Then when I get down to a couple of minutes, they put me on another couple of hours. I tried for 3 hours ŷesterday before I gave up. I’m severely disabled, confined to a wheelchair and rely on Ocado. But I feel really let down.”

“I understand from the reviews that our Ocado reserved slots have been taken away from us. We have been listed as 'vulnerable' and my husband is on the list of people who need extra help because of a terminal illness. If I go out shopping I could bring the virus in and basically kill my husband. I am disappointed, sickened and let down. I'm also very sick of the stupid and worthless emails that we are getting. We need help and support, which Ocado promise to give, and now they take away the lifeline of our reserved slot. We just don't know what to do or how to cope. Why haven't Ocado been honest about this? When I challenged them on it earlier they stopped speaking to me (via email). After 10 years with them, and what was outstanding service, they have wrecked their reputation by being evasive and by refusing to answer questions. Absolutely shattered by all this, where do we go now?”

“Failing to honour reserved slots that customers have been using for year, impossible to speak to and when they do reply you receive a generic answer that explains nothing (And makes no sense). People have paid for smart passes but are now receiving no service. Used to be a 5 star company but have now become a shadow of their former selves.”

“I have had for years a reserved slot with Ocado. When I came to update my order this week I found they have taken it off me without any notification. I can now not get a slot. When I complained I was told it was ‘to allow as many people to shop.’ Ocado you are a disgrace to loyal customers!”

“What is the point in emailing us to say they’ve released more slots and once you log in there’s nothing. So disappointing as it’s not the first time. Begin to wish I’d chosen another delivery service.”

“So disappointed. Have been a customer for over 9 years and hold an Ocado Reserved slot. I was in a queue for over 2 hours only to find that my order has been cancelled as there are 4 items unavailable which is ridiculous as by order still totals over £90. I readded everything to my trolley but was not allowed to check it out as there were no delivery slots despite the fact that I have one reserved. I am nearly 70 and have underlying health conditions so can't go out. Unless you can get your act together quickly Ocado then you will be losing another loyal customer.”

“I know they are difficult and different times but would it be possible to inform people correctly about their chances to get a slot booking? I have been in a virtual queue This morning being told waiting time around two hours I logged in around 8.30 this morning only to find at 12.15 that no slots are available - booking options only for the next three days . Would it be possible to warn people when they start ‘queuing’so not to waste hours . Three days quickly fill up that must be obvious to Ocado - please can you somehow let people know earlier when they logging in to queue..MORE INFORMATION EARLIER ON PLEASE.”

“Complete Disgrace of a Company I have just spent 1 hour on this site ordering my family shopping, only to find when I get to the very end that there are no delivery slots. The joke about this is that I was also waiting in their queue for 1 hour waiting to join the site so that I could do my shop. 2 hours wasted in total. Me and my family are currently in self quarantine and have not bulk bought in anyway and low on everything. This site gives people false hope. Never again, complete disgrace of a company. We cannot get our food from anywhere but wouldn't waste a penny on this site. DON'T ALLOW PEOPLE TO SHOP ON YOUR SITE IF YOU CANNOT DELIVER.”

“I have been a very satisfied customer since befoe the Andover fire. Now, though, the situation has completely changed as a result of the awful confusion and delays caused by the disfunctional website. I am 92 and have serious health issue so am self-isolating and rely entirely on online shopping. Please, Ocado, is there some way, as a highly vulnerable person , I can have quick access to the site to book and oder future deliveries ? I need help., not hassle. Alan Fowler, Winchester”

“Having a delivery this Sunday as always have booked the shopping and put some products which I was certain to needed, then you cancelled your website and now able to amend the shopping for Sunday, however there are no products left to even put in the basket. I have been customer nearly one year, but this is ridiculous, how do you distribute fairly, when there is no stock to be added?”

“We booked a slot and made an order 1 week before the requested delivery date. We were able to edit the order until the night the day before delivery. However we were notified in the morning of the delivery date that some items were not available with no option to add new ones. Given the current situation we didn't take too much notice. During the day we got an e-mail that the delivery would be an hour or so late. Again, we didn't make a fuss about it. However 10 minutes after our delivery slot, the driver called us to inform us that he has no more driving time and can't make the delivery. Our order essentially cancelled and we couldn't reach ocado's support chat or line. After 1:30 hour we saw at the website that we could book a new delivery slot after two weeks. This is totally unacceptable. They pride in 1 hour slots. They should try to make the deliveries and take pride on delivering an actual service. We'll never use Ocado again. Totally unreliable, with no customer support.”

“Ocado is not consistent with their policies.. drivers can arrive 1 hour late of the delivery slot and nothing happens.. but it doesn’t work both ways.. they don’t wait for anyone and then when asking for redelivering they just say they will charge you anyway with no delivery.. Agree with other comments.. service has worsened so much.. I used to buy every week from ocado and now I’ve just told them I won’t do it anymore.. Funny thing is they don’t really care.. customer service says I’m sorry to hear that.. can I help you with something else? ...... :((”
