“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.”

“No delivery but still charged. Hassle getting refund. Did a fuller review but the system went door with error page.”

“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.”

“I booked a slot for today between 8.30pm to 9.30pm. I received an email around 8.40pm to tell me that the driver was not able to deliver me. It's the second time in 1 month I have the same problem. I was home, the driver did not ring on the belt, not call me and probably not come!! When I call the customer services 5 minutes later I received the email, the first person tell me that the driver already back and will be not able to back in my place ..... wouahhhh I understand now I did not received it ...it's raining today and the driver back home early waouhhhh! She ask me if the driver call me and if my door is black ...as I tell her my he not called me and if he see a black door it's because he probably never come in my place ...any way The only solution she suggest me have the delivery tomorrow between 9 and 12 in the morning and was surprise when I said ...no I'm working at this time... I ask to speak for the manager, the manager confirm to me that the driver already back ...great to know that because it was 9pm ...so 30 min before the end of my slot ...I guess the driver back early because it was raining))) Any way ... It's the second time for 1 month ...the delivery service is more and more bad and the manager of the customer service tell me that I don't need to write a coment about that in the social media because he also the manager for the social media of ocado wouahhh that great for customers paid for servuces they do not have.... wouahhhh..any way ...I would like don't give star but the minimum is 1 star ...”

“Half my delivery didn’t arrive after a rude man threw bags in my back door. Customer service offfered 3 hour slot for redelivery next day & £20 off next shop. Never shop with this company again as no compensation for all the inconvenience & stress from their mistakes.”

“I have been let down and messed around too many times by Ocado to continue using their service. Food has turned up a full two days late on occasion and today the driver phoned to say he has my food but has finished his shift so he's taking it back to the depot. I had to call customer service who couldn't do anything for me. I have people coming for dinner today and tomorrow and I had taken an hour off lunch to receive the delivery. It is beyond inconvenient and incompetent.”

“I booked my Christmas slot when they were first released. I made an order which I edited twice this week. I checked out (definitely!) but had an email saying a needed to check out. As soon as I received that email I went back and checked out but Ocado are delivering my original Christmas order. Our circumstances have changed since I made the first order which is why I edited it this week. Customer services were unable to help and suggested I just send back what I don't need. But this still leaves me with the problem that I now have 2 days before Christmas in which to do my Christmas shopping. There seems to be a problem with the online processing here. What's worse, is that if Ocado are delivering my original order which they have had for weeks and weeks, how come there are substitutes carrots (at nearly double the price) and apparently they don't have any butter at all as that was just missing, not substituted. I'm so annoyed about this. I carefully planned all my Christmas shopping fully expecting that after the delivery of my order this evening I would be 100% finished for Christmas. Instead, I have been out to the supermarket where there is no parking left, and the shelves are emptying pretty fast. To be fair to Ocado they have refunded the difference in the carrots I ordered and the ones I have been allocated. But still no sunstitution for the butter? I have lost faith in Ocado now, and I don't find them reliable as I once did. I asked for my smart pass to be cancelled and told Customer Services I'll be reverting back to Tesco. As a gesture of goodwill (?) they sent me a five pound voucher off my next shop with Ocado. Cheeky? Or just plain rude? Anyway, it makes me think they won't miss my custom. I have the unenviable job later, of sifting through all the bags of shopping on the doorstep, from Ocado returning all the things that were not supposed to be delivered to me.”

“Never used ocado but that doesn't stop them knocking on your door at stupid times on a Sunday morning, despite him driving into a signed residential street, he's not even delivering to.”

“I do not get how you are a delivery service and I Can not get my delivery on time !! This is the fourth attempt at getting my order delivered from Ocado . They keep cancelling my order and blaming it on “roadworks”. I have had to now order from Tesco and they got to my apartment just fine and on time! DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM , they will waste your time . I will happily order from Tesco from now on as it’s cheaper and they actually deliver !”

“Absolutely the worst service possible. I have booked me delivery for Friday morning between 6:30-7:30am. The driver called me saying he is in front of my door. I went to open the door, but the driver wasn’t there, so obviously he got into a wrong address. After contacting ocado customer service, who was extremely arrogant and unhelpful, they have tried to contact the driver but he was nowhere near my address, so he couldn’t deliver for the agreed slot. We have agreed on the evening delivery between 6-9pm, that’s the slot they have offered me. Guess what???ocado didn’t bother to turn up....so they have cancelled my order. Very disappointing experience!”
