Cinnamon Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 GAH! Already??? *scuttles off to Ocado* edit ....Hmmmm, I can only book up until November 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 We've been to my sisters for the past two years so I panicked when I got the email today and just added £90 of stuff into my basket and checked it out to get a delivery. Got one for the 23rd. At least I can edit my order now at my leisure Sarah, I do Ocado on Demand, could that be why I can reserve it early?

bellekatz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ive booked mine, and my turkey as well - they had a separate bit for christmas deliveries rather than the normal ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Bellekatz,are you in the 'On Demand' scheme too - I can't find any Christmas delivery reference at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sarah, have just read the email properly and as an Ocado on Demand* customer, we’re offering you the chance to bag a Christmas delivery slot before everyone else I'd have posted this at first if I'd realised.

Ziggy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm an ocado on demand customer and didn't know the christmas slots had started... can't see it on the website either... ... thanks for mentioning ocado though... I came online to place my weekly order and got lost in Omlet forum world... back on tracks and off to place my order!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've booked my slot - just threw in 4 bottles of bubbly as I only had a few seconds to book and checkout and needed to get to £90 quickly :D Will edit at leisure over the next 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Are Ocado deliveries at Christmas as good as they normally are? Haven't used them at Christmas and DH has now got me wondering if I've done the right thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've used Ocado at Christmas for the last 3 or 4 years and I have never had any trouble what so ever :D Always on time and with everything I have ordered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 To go slightly off hilter, how do you find Ocado on Demand, they keep sending me emails but I must admit to not reading them properly. What are the benefits? I don't have a regular weekly delivery but every few weeks or so, so didn't think it would be worth it. OH and I always go to Waitrose to do our Christmas shop as we like mooching around and picking up silly bits and pieces. I use Ocado the rest of the time though.

Ann, I like it because your minimum order only needs to be £40. They sent me an email recently to say that I'd saved around £80 in delivery charges so far. Plus, I can usually get a slot either next day or the day after if I've not been organised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm very happy with mine as i got it for 6.99 so must have saved alot already as i was making up to £75 to get free delivery when i didnt need that much really! not had my xmas delivery email though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsquid Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Did mine last night. Last year we were supposed to be away for Christmas (skiing) but due to an injury we decided to stay home at the last moment. So I ended up having to do battle at the shops on Christmas Eve for the last remaining items. This year I'm determined to be organised so that it gets delivered and I don't have to fight for the last pudding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
