“Spent the whole afternoon doing a shop to find when I tried to checkout that they don't deliver anywhere near me (I don't live in the middle of nowhere). It would not take much effort to add something brief on your homepage about your restricted posting areas - would have saved me a lot of time and effort.”

“Half our order missing, other people's food delivered and dreadful customer service in order to get it rectified. Now today our order had been cancelled with no explanation and no alternative delivery. Just told to go on the website and rebook ourselves if we want the order. If course they're are no slots available for days. Dreadful company.”

“I have shopped with Ocado for quite a few years but during lockdown have had so many awful experiences with deliveries that I just have to knock it on the head now! I have had three consecutive deliveries where items have been damaged to such an extent that seals have been broken on jars, groceries soaked in soap, beetroot juice and puddles of water in my carrier bags soaking all my food, beetroot juice and water (well I think it was water) all over my carpets from the bags! Tonight I had a whole pack of biscuits torn open and a fish pie with a broken seal! Never again. During lockdown the service has been dreadful in terms of actually getting your shopping delivered without it being damaged and most of the drivers appear to be unfriendly and eager to get away. It has stressed me out completely and I really would rather just go to the shops and avoid all the drama! Shame but lost a long time customer today Ocado, really feel for M & S!!”

“As a 'shielded' person I have been able to book slots as and when I need them, for which I am very grateful, as I can't get out to the shops. I am a smart pass holder. In my experience Ocado drivers are invariably cheerful and helpful. (I cannot, unfortunately, say the same for the other supermarket delivery drivers). On the rare occasion that I have needed to contact customer service they too have been helpful. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that the M&S products are quite often on a short date and that fresh food, for example lemons, don't last as long as ones I used to get.”

“Ocado delivery service today very bad, rude driver with a bad attitude, reported and made complaint to Ocado, very disappointed with Ocado, no excuses for bad delivery service or unprofessional service.”

“I have been an anytime smart pass customer for years but I am now unable to see any slots on the calender further than 3 days, all of which have gone. This isn't the case for everyone as other family members can see weeks ahead and have booked. Perhaps loyalty doesn't count. Ocado couldn't care less. It never used to be like this. What's gone wrong? I've cancelled and signed up elsewhere”

“Impossible to get a delivery slot and check at least 10 times per day. Reading the comments below am pleased that the Smart Pass has been stopped for now as that does not appear to give any benefits. Only needed to use as nearest M&S is over thirty miles now, so click and collect is completely out of the question. As I am a cancer patient and my Husband is 78 which is classed as vulnerable, thought might have been given more assistance but completely useless. Going to continue using Tesco and Asda as at least they have a sensible selection of delivery slots over several weeks. Maybe someone could tell me why Ocado only has a couple of days showing for delivery slots. Why, in this day and age, can't they be more proactive?”

“Ocado obviously have not the capacity to cope with M&S food deliveries. They should have predicted that delivering M&S food in a pandemic running up to Xmas would be busy,they don’t answer emails,they have switched off their chat line and their phone staff are polite but told not to talk about slots. They suggest booking ahead but no slots are available any time any day. Not sure who is getting the slots maybe some customers have priority,I am 68 and spend £120.00 per week but am forced now to go back to in store shopping,which I wish to avoid. Has anyone managed to get slots? Don’t bother with relying on Ocado/M&S for your food deliveries,they are currently unreliable.”

“I am an Ocado smart pass customer and not even a week into the second lockdown, I find I am unable to book the slots three weeks ahead which I have previously been promised. You may have have thought Ocado would have learned lessons from the earlier lockdown about failure to honour commitments to loyal, regular customers. Not a bit of it. Despite their failure notify me about reneging on their earlier commitment to advanced access to delivery slots, the only enquiry, the customer service team is not allowed to comment on is anything relating availability of delivery slots. Any email enquiries relating to this topic generates a completely irrelevant response. During the summer months I have explored a number of other online grocers and have been impressed by the quality, prices and overall service. I ask myself, ‘why am I wasting time and money with Ocado when there is clearly no currency for loyalty’.”

“outrageous experience having been a smart pass holder for a number of years and throughout lockdown 1.0 being able to continue to book deliveries. However since recently delivery I can see no slots available to book? Come on Ocado AND now M&S (is it coincidental that the delivery issues seem to have coincided with the M&S Partnership?!? This is not acceptable for customers who pay for the delivery service. Although I understand that Smart Pass does not guarantee a delivery it should enable you to book a delivery over and above non smart pass holders. Either get more delivery drivers, get more warehouse space, or stop pretending you are an above average grocery provider unable to meet customer demands or expectations.”

“Very disappointed that, at the very least, Ocado have not put out a blanket statement about delivery slots, in particular for Smart Pass holders. Difficult times, yes, but we are being left high and dry and told there are no delivery slots now at least until Christmas. A loyal customer, an over 70 who lives alone, I am not impressed. I probably just don’t spend enough!”

“I'm a smart pass holder and have been told that I'm not able to book any deliveries in advance and they won't guarantee that I'd have any slots! I have to keep looking at the website! The customer service person said the pass only gives me discount for deliveries but does not guarantee any slots, I'm not sure what's the point of holding a pass then. This pandemic will be over at some point and I'd like to see how many customers will stay with Ocado, I certainly won't be one of them! I work for NHS so I go into work and now I'd also have to find time to track to the supermarkets too! Great experience Ocado!”

“I used to enjoy Ocado. However, many of the Waitrose products I used to order either do not have an obvious M&S equivalent or their M&S counterpart is of inferior quality. I hate their new bag recycle program too. On roughly every second delivery none of the bags I hand over to the driver are accounted for for some reason. I'd much prefer if there was an option to not get their bags in the first place but they don't offer this. What's worse, the quality of the service has deteriorated to the level that I no longer wish to place any orders with them. I particularly resent the new quality of their customer support. When I clearly outline a problem in the email I only get a generic response after a day or so which has very little to do with the problem I write about. The only option to actually get their attention is to talk to a live agent but it's time consuming since the wait time is high. This has happened to me too many times recently so I am giving up on Ocado.”

“On a Monday the next available slot is Wednesday week!!! That’s NINE DAYS AWAY!!!! Don’t tell me to book my xmas shop in mid October when you’re already completely booked up. Take this information off the website as it is false advertising. Don’t send me items with a use by / best before of tomorrow. Don’t fob us off with “a small number of items are out of stock”. It’s not a small number, it’s many! Loads of products i have been buying for years are no longer available permanently, no decent alternatives given. You keep telling me i could get a better deal/delivery time/whatever if i have a smart pass but you then tell me that smart pass is not available. WT ACTUAL F????? Delivery drivers are really friendly , always on time. But that doesn’t make up for the general crapness of Ocado in recent months. So sad but I’ve left Ocado after several good years, and now shopping with Sainsbury’s. It’s very unlikely that i will return. Sort yourselves out.”

“Consistent mistakes with the service, the website going down and a lack of backbone with staff wanting to take responsibility for continuous mistakes made my partner and I question our loyalty to Ocado, where we'd shopped online with for quite a while. As a result we went over to Sainsburys, who, to be fair to them, have been consistent and quick to rectify their mistakes. We wondered about going back to Ocado and thought that the company have had plenty of time and opportunity to haul their once great company out of the gutter to produce a great service once again. What a mistake we made believing that! Only hours before a delivery we booked a week ago was due to arrive, Ocado sends us a message with no apology telling us that the order had been cancelled, and that we needed to rebook a slot, the nearest being 4 days later! This resulted in us having to re-organise our childcare so that we were able to go shopping this evening. Terrible excuse for a company, who's organisation is a joke. Avoid this company at all costs. We are now deleting our accounts. Shop online with Sainsbury as they're a much better company.”

“Since Ocado started,‘I have sworn by them. Everything from the products to the service has been outstanding. It is very sad they are no longer any good. The merger with M&S means the range is terrible, things are frequently out of stock and I need to order separately with Waitrose. I’ve cancelled my smartpass as well because that doesn’t represent value as many other have explained. RIP Ocado :-(”

“I recently was diagnosed with cancer and am on the government vulnerable list . I registered with Ocado in the hope that shopping online would support me at this difficult time. Not only did it take weeks for them to address my query , they were wholly unsympathetic and not prepared to support in any way . What a sad reflection on a company that probably has realms of paperwork about how they support the community ? I hope if they have relatives in a similar predicament that they won’t face the biased behaviour of their customer support services and discrimination of disabled people within the community . Shame on you”
