Ocado boycott after support of Primesight action part 2

I just hope the press pick up on this

They probably won't as it is it's confined to more or less on trustpilot page and here,
Maybe we should leave shining reviews for whichever supermarkets we have switched to with also mention why you've switch from ocardo, it'll widen things up a little?

PerverseConverse I wanted to thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. I was on the last thread a lot. It's annoying that I have to boycott a company that I like but hopefully other organisations are taking note before they offend women.

I just hope the press pick up on this as Ocado don't seem to care about 100+ mumsnetters leaving.

I had actually only recently started using Ocado after a few mishaps from Sainsbury's, but I shall go back to Sainsbury's now, plus a few more trips to the local butchers and weekly market.

it wasn’t ocado’s place to get involved

Bit late for that.....

Unlurking here to say I cancelled by email yesterday and had an email reply to ask was I sure. I gave them short shrift in return and had my phone call ‘apology’ today. She said it was a rogue but well intentioned tweet blah blah blah. I asked were they going to make a public apology as the tweet had been so public. She said no as it wasn’t ocado’s place to get involved. She asked did I want to pass on any requests to management and I said I wanted a public rethink and statement.

I do wish there was a cure for stupid.

They won't be signing up, it's just posturing and empty words to show how woke they are.

I’m a long time lurker who has gravitated more and more to the FWR over the last 6mths. The FT women in business fiasco was a final straw for me and this coming soon after.....I’m so done. So first time poster on FWR and ready for action.

I have spent years and years and years with ocado spending easily 100pw. I am scared to find out the total spend. I’ve called and cancelled and never again from me too. My first Waitrose order comes tomorrow and it’s free delivery! Ok the app will take a bit to get used to but I’ll cope.....

Yes they deleted it on Wednesday/Thursday.

Did a quick search on Twitter and it looks like Ocado have deleted the Tweet re: Primesight? Can anyone confirm?

I have gone down the route of cancelling the next 2 weeks orders and have emailed to explain why. I will repeat this every week until a) Ocado apologise publicly or b) my next smart pass payment is due, when I shall obviously cancel the thing.

Bought chicken Dijon in Cook for a lazy tea tonight and have realised that by doing my basics shop in Aldi I will save £ which I can then spend on nice things in Waitrose & cook. Win-win.

Canceled here!

Ugh I am so so reliant on Ocado - but TRAs trying to erase women is a hill I'm prepared to die on so I'll have to cancel my SmartPass. Fucking Ocado.

I'll be contacting them in hard copy (letter to head office) as that usually gets a better response than email but I'm not holding my breath on this.

Fuck.

I don't use Ocado, but this thread has inspired me to put up some more stickers and to tape two information leaflets on the walls at the local public toilet. Thanks.

Cold - we have been using Riverford for years, their Christmas service is brilliant, everything delivered for free on Christmas Eve and no need to be in for it.

Is this Ocado’s Gerald Ratner moment...

I couldn't write anything on trustpilot today. Funny that.

Local traders have done well out of me today.
I came into town where Riverford Organics had a stall, with a big promotion about cutting plastic waste, so I reactivated my account with them, and was given a lovely free cookery book for doing so.
Then I discovered the butchers nearby do a home delivery service, so that's the meat sorted.
Our local farm shop sells fish and I'll stock up the freezer.
DH can pick up anything else we need like loo paper from Aldi now and again.
That's the divorce from woman-hating Ocado finalised.

Asda delivery for me, I've gone up market
Just under £140, cheaper than usual too!
Partner gets the fresh stuff from the local market twice a week.
Due this evening ta da!

*Finoula, just had the confirmation of cancellation email

Just had a call from Fenella (I think) who was lovely.
I stated that I wanted a public statement and she said that there were no plans to issue one (but that they were passing on feedback), and that personal phone calls were preferred, to apologise. I said that they hadn't actually addressed the issue that they were apologising about other than deleting the tweet. I've cancelled my smartpass and removed myself from all commas, and said how upset I was to do so. Oh well, aldi/Costco/Waitrose online for me, now.

Had my first Waitrose delivery today, also orders a riverford box
Ocado can fuck right off

Just found an email sent yesterday asking for a number and a convenient time to call.

I've just emailed a GDPR subject access request, and will be requesting removal of data once I've received that.

Also their delivery drivers have harassed women.
