The Dogmother Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I agree Claire, and I find that their fresh stuff is better quality and lasts longer. I buy what fresh bits I can in the farmers' market and then just order the rest from Ocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 did you know their carrier bags are biodegradable too? One of the drivers told me. We try to make a positive difference to our environment in other ways too. We are the only UK retailer who has invested in closed-loop carrier bag recycling. This means that when you return your bags to our delivery drivers, they take them home to our warehouse and make shiny new bags for your next delivery. What's more, our bags are also 100% biodegradable, so if you do ever need to throw one in the bin, you can be confident that it will not have a lasting impact on the environment. http://corporate.ocado.com/cares.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I hand the bags from the previous week back to my driver for them to recycle. The good news is that they also take any other carrier bags. Just had an email from them to say that they've had to cancel my delivery for tonight due to adverse weather conditions - not surprised really as they come from Daventry, which is far worse than here They've added extra delivery slots for tomorrow though so that I can have it delivered then instead.

Cinnamon Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 They actually just tried to deliver my order to me this morning, over again I took the free Times, as I didn't get it yesterday, but sent the rest back - saves me a slog up to the paper shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Probably because he wasn't supposed to deliver to you yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 My delivery has also had to be cancelled - but at least I got a polite email and the chance to re-book it very quickly via their site. Some delivery companies have been known not to turn up and not to bother calling or emailing either. Let's face it, with the weather we've had, a little disruption is unavoidable!

helenp Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Glad that all the deliveries are still getting top marks Will pass onto dear hubby as he likes hearing good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm pleased that I could reschedule fro tomorrow; I just don't have the time nor the inclination to go to Te$co. It's not easy either as once I'm in for the evening, I have to stay in with Rosie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ummm, most supermarkets now seem to have bio-degradable printed on their bags.. well, the Te$co and Sainsbury near us seem to..... judging by what I see of them dumped by the wayside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've emailed Ocado suggesting they look at signing up to Quidco. Anyone else fancy doing the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just to add, my re-booked delivery arrived, with a bottle of wine as an apology for the cancellation. Far and away the best grocery delivery service! What's Quidco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far and away the best grocery delivery service! What's Quidco? It's a cashback site. www.quidco.com It costs £5 per year but well worth it to earn free money on online shopping. I got just under £70 paid into my bank this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
