“Reading recent reviews I wonder what on earth has happened to Ocado? I have been using them every week for 15 years and can honestly say I have never had a an issue with them. Polite, helpful drivers; rarely a substitute; almost always within the time slot, so why are so many people disgruntled with them? Personally I wouldn’t use anyone else for my grocery and pet food deliveries! Thank you, Ocado!”

“Neil in the Onion van was an excellent delivery man. He was friendly and helpful, putting the bags where I could reach them easily. Simple things like commenting on my rather vociferous cat and having time to fasten back a stray branch of wisteria over the door made the difference between having a polite but robotic person and a genuine friendly chap delivering the shopping.”

“Two failed deliveries in one week, no phone calls just standard emails in the spam. Sadly Ocado has fallen to pieces, it’s clear from other reviews that they are experiencing serious operational issues and yet even though I spent the day on the phone yesterday trying to resolve issues they said it was only an issue for me. That is evidently not true and it’s disappointing that they are so arrogant to think I would believe that. Not only did the delivery not turn up, the website was broken and I couldn’t check out the replacement order, the live chat was also down. The customer service team could do nothing other than chase IT for a fix. Despite being assured that the replacement order would arrive in time for a party, guess what it didn’t. I shop online because I don’t have time to go to the shop, I certainly don’t have time to do the order twice from scratch and spend a day on the phone. I will not be using Ocado again and I suggest you think twice about using them. What was once a good service has gone to pieces, not acceptable at all.”

“Very disappointed with Ocado deliveries. We booked our groceries delivery between 8:30-9:30pm today. The driver never arrived, he didn't call or text, the Ocado app didn't update the details until 10:45pm - "unable to deliver"Really? I was at home all evening expecting the delivery to be able to cook dinner and feed my kids breakfast tomorrow morning! No groceries no breakfast and all shops are shut now. But who cares? Ocado doesn't. And guess what - apparently the driver was late and gave up on delivering to our house! On top of that the most unhelpful customer service! When we called to find out about the delivery - they said they are unable to redeliver and suggested rebooking for 4pm next day! 4pm! Really? I have no food to feed my kids before the school tomorrow! How appalling is that! I would have expected Ocado to aim to rectify the problem and at least deliver our groceries first thing tomorrow morning. They made no effort to address the problem and left the customer seriously let down. Very unreliable and unprofessional service. Be warned if you are considering signing up!”

“Terrible service! This is the first time I have used Ocado and never again. They completely cancelled my order and refunded me 10 minutes before the food was due to be delivered saying there was operational issues. I think this is totally unacceptable. In way of compensation, they offered me a voucher for the same money that I was also getting off from the shopping I had ordered - that is not compensation at all! Very disappointed”

“it is the worst service in the world, I booked a slot on the 4th of June from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, the order arrived at 9:11 pm now, and I called Ocado customer service at 4:30 pm and they told me it will be there in 5 minutes the driver is in my street, and at 4:36 the driver called me and explained he made an accident and he will be late 15 more minutes, I called them again at 6:36 and the customer service said the driver is in my street and he will be there I 5 minutes, and I called them back at 8:29 and their response was the same and again at 8:57 and they told me he was walking to my address and he should be there in less than a minute but the drivers phone was not responding and the customer service told me all I can do is whether cancel the order or I should wait, and i waited down and it was raining for more than 10 minutes only because I had my family over and I needed some stuff from the order and they made me order food from delivero and it costed me 70£ and thier customer service was so rude and this is the first and last time i will order anything from ocado( the icecream was all melted, the beef was so warm and meat can have bacteria in room temperature so fast and everything was wet as if he was walking with the food in the rain for hours and the service is purly the worst)”

“So i'll start by saying I am not an Ocado customer but a lot of my neighbours are and that is where the problem with deliveries begins. We live in a very urban area with predominantly street parking hence finding a space is always difficult BUT we are fortunate to have our own driveway which we share with the property next door. The constant problem we have is with delivery drivers thinking this is a driveway for anyone in the street and then proceeding to either park across or drive onto our drive despite us clearly displaying a " Private Driveway - No Parking " Sign. The driver today - Sun 19th May 2019 was very rude almost bordering on arrogance as to why parking for a few minutes on OUR drive would be an issue to deliver to a house 4 doors away. I asked him if he was delivering to a house with a drive but no room to park his van would he park on the neighbours drive next door or opposite to which he smirked and replied " Of Course Not" Then asked if he really needed to move..I was so annoyed at his ignorance that I said Yes and asked him to move..He sat in his van for 5 minutes not moving when my partner arrived home and needed to park her car so he reversed off but waited in the street clearly.aiming to pull back on so my partner left her car in front of the drive and asked him not to use.our drive..He later parked in the street blocking all traffic to complete his delivery which was the only solution but that is an occupational hazard of delivering in mine and the surrounding streets in Westcliff-On-Sea , Essex. So to summarise Please ensure your drivers check before parking on a private drive or blocking people in and also politely remind them that when they are asked to move 99.9% of the time is because they should.not be parked there!!!!”

“I booked a delivery from Ocado for 11/May/2019 14:00--15:00 time slot. Unfortunately it is already 18:18, I haven't received my order and there was no notification sent about any delay. I do not think it is anywhere near to be called high quality service, as it is not only not fulfilling service which was prepaid but also ruining my personal plans for Saturday by making me sitting at home and waiting for the delivery which might not come at all. After contacting customer service I was told driver canceled the delievery and they are very sorry but I can book a delievery again on any available slot. Of course no more bookings”

“Delivery driver Russell was lovely, embarrassed and apologetic. However we ordered steaks for a special occasion dinner, these were missing from the delivery, despite having received an email confirming that there were no missing items. My partner called Ocado's customer service line to be advised that they are out of stock. They have offered a £5 voucher as a gesture of good will, not sure we will use it as reliability issues are a deal breaker for us.”

“Driver was super loud and rude rude as he was in a hurry ☹☹☹ what was more upsetting was that he was rude in front of my little son. I was calm and was really kind and then he's attitude seemed to slightly shift for the better. Not a nice experience at all.”

“Ocado used to be great but I just had an appalling experience with them, preceded by worsening experiences over the past year. Firstly the Ocado driver claimed to have tried to deliver to us without anyone answering him. This despite the fact that three people were at home waiting for the delivery and not a single person heard a doorbell ring or the landline ring, and our mobile phone listed no missed calls. Ocado then arranged a re-delivery the following morning, giving us a vague 3-hr slot. for the re-delivery they delivered someone else's groceries. I then spent an hour on the phone with an unhelpful customer service crew, who said, even though they were at fault for delivering the wrong groceries, they didn't know where our groceries were and the earliest they could guarantee delivery was the following day, 48 hours after original delivery was due. This despite the fact that I told them my sick 2 year old son was at home waiting for food, pre-surgery and we couldn't leave the house to do shopping. No proper apologies, no attempts to solve the issue they'd caused, no compensation. I'll never use Ocado again - Waitrose and Sainsbury's have our business from now on. Appalling service.”

“What on earth did your driver think they were doing turning up early and then giving my shopping to a neighbour!! I had a drs appointment and turned up at my house at exactly 3:49. So in time for my 4-5pm slot. As we turned into my cul de sac I noticed an ocado van and driver giving shopping to the neighbours over the road. The neighbours then shouted to me that it was my shopping. I asked the driver who just ignored me and my neighbours told me he had arrived early, not gotten an answer so he had gone around the garden to the back of my house and shouted in the back door. The neighbours had told him we must be in as my sons car was there. He was actually in the shower. But why on earth did the driver think it was acceptable to give my shopping to a neighbour? Why was he so early and why didn’t he just wait until the correct slot had begun or called me? Who would have been liable if any of my shopping was missing? As it was my shopping was a mess from being hauled from the van to the neighbour and then back to my house. He didn’t even ask where to put the bags he simply dumped them on my lawn. I’m disabled so it was lucky other people could help. It’s not acceptable to turn up early and then dump shopping at someone else’s house! I don’t even know their names! When the driver left he was still before my slot! He left at exactly 3:59pm. Service has gone down hill, recently. So many items arrived with short dates or damaged. Packing is done really badly! I do not want bread and toilet cleaner in the same bag. I think I’m going to look for a new online grocery store.”

Hello Lisa! We are very sorry to hear about this. The driver is supposed to call you upon arrival should they arrive early, and then wait for you should they receive no response. They are also only permitted to leave your shopping with a neighbour should you expressly ask us to do so. We are very sorry that this had not occurred on this occasion, but we would love to pass this on for you. We can also take a look at the dates of your products to see what has gone wrong. Please Email us on Ocado@Ocado.com, call us on 0345 656 1234 or join the live chat service on our site so we can do this for you. - Mitch
