Bear with me, this is long; but I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem as well..
I have a reserved delivery every Saturday morning.
Every Friday morning, I menu plan and then add items from the kitchen notice board of stock items that the family record, as we run out.
I then go onto Ocado. You edit the order, as the trolley shows items you're likely to want ascertained from previous shops. I edit it and then check out.
I later picked up DD from school bus, and she asked me to make something she really likes. I tried to edit the order, but the checkout box had disappeared, so abandoned it.
Last Saturday the delivery arrived and DH came upstairs (I've just had a knee operation) and says "How many boxes of Cook's matches do you think you need exactly? ". I said I hadn't ordered any. He then brought the Ocado paperwork and it wasn't what I'd ordered. It was the bog standard suggested shop; unedited.
Very long story short, shopping had to be hauled back out of cupboards, packed, and they eventually collected it at 8pm that evening. Had to rearrange our Saturday as DH had to go shopping.
They said we wouldn't be charged and then charged our bank account. On the Sunday I had done the family finances and transferred excess funds to a saving account. Ocado then took the money for the shopping THAT I HAD NOT HAD on the Monday. There were insufficient funds in the bank account to cover the cost of DH's main Xmas present; and as they weren't paid they wouldn't ship; so I had to pay £52 for express shipping and do all the bank transfers to meet the payment.
They still haven't refunded me. (Say they have, but it will take 5 days)
And then they've done the same today. Unpacking/putting away, hauling it back out again, going shopping ......
I'm furious and having dreadful pain in my knee. I didn't for a moment think to check, before DH had unpacked, as didn't think lightening would strike twice.
Spoke to a manager and he said he would collect it again but "We'll be wasting about £60 of food" Suggested it was my fault (have been using Ocado for over 6 years)
By this time I had seen red and said the very least he could do was donate this to any local supermarket that has an Ebola collection point, or a homeless shelter.It would at least bring some positive result from their ineptitude.
I am incandescent with bloody rage.
Has anyone else had problems with Ocado lately ???
