Ocado boycott after support of Primesight actionhttp://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3376466-ocado-boycott-after-support-of-primesight-action

Following on from my previous thread that became full Smile

I'll be making my first Waitrose order today, or maybe going back to Tesco. Will definitely give Waitrose a go though and have placed a Christmas order already.

I've skipped a number of Ocado orders although not boycotted completely because life's difficult just now and Ocado is much easier to use than Waitrose. I like Waitrose, although the min order of £60 is a bit painful and the range (esp non-food) is much more limited.

The action got media traction. I think important in a world of threats of boycotts by TRAs that we show we've got purchasing power too. Just a little reminder.
Too many companies have rolled over at a hint of trans rights activist trouble.

Hello everyone, just wanted to say that I've ended all Ocado use now and switched to another. Waitrose app is annoying and I found the choice limited. Didn't like Sainsbury's at all.

I've also told everyone that would listen about the boycott Smile

I’ve skipped over a month of orders. Wave 👋 bye bye to £££ Ocado.

Serfisafleur · 12/11/2018 12:21

It's not a boycott if you just skip one order...

Ineedacupofteadesperately · 12/11/2018 12:17

Women don't like being erased and we want to use our ample spending power to make that clear. HTH.

Not missing ocado myself. Liking birdseye who I've started buying now. Lovely fish.

I've gone back to Tesco.

@Tanith some people have principles. Boycotting for a short time is pretty pointless.

Are you still boycotting Ocado?? What on earth for?

Am I missing something? Because if it’s still about that advertising company tweet, this seems to me to be an incredibly disproportionate response.

Middledog same; Waitrose app is nowhere near as handy! Prefer their service so far though! And ocado were always good.

Serfisafleur · 12/11/2018 11:27

Can't you try Saintsbury's or Tesco for deliveries?
I find Tesco really good...

Even if Ocado apologised now, I don't think I'd go back. Waitrose delivery are loads better because I can get a delivery slot the next day - Ocado I had to order at least 48 hours before, if not longer. I hope they do apologise though.

LaPufalina · 21/10/2018 00:18

Despite my cancelling my account and telling them not to contact me again, I had a text telling me I was due my regular order tomorrow  and that I had until 5.40 to edit it! I phoned and told them to remove everything they hold on me, including my credit card details, and reminded the callhandler why.

secretsciurusvulgaris · 21/10/2018 00:05

Redid my review to include all the incidences of dire service and the woman incident was the last straw for me as a customer.

RepealtheGRA · 16/10/2018 09:00

My ‘adult human female’ stickers have arrived. I will be sticking them to the leaflets they keep shoving through my door and returning them.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 16/10/2018 08:50

I redid my homework over the weekend but I’m still waiting for it to be republished.

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 15/10/2018 00:47

Mine was removed yesterday, they TRA's ones should be next, which will level things back out.

Flooffloof · 14/10/2018 15:57

I edited my trustpilot review and it's still standing.
Added some stuff about nice drivers but swaps being wrong and useless to me. Left all the women are adult human female in.

Trustpilot don't give a shit:

"Thanks for your email. As explained in my previous 3 emails - Trustpilot is not a platform for sharing political opinions. We provide a community where buying and service experiences should be shared. Should a review be edited so it complies with our guidelines, we will always reinstate it.

As such please note this is your final opportunity to edit your review so it mentions a service experience. Please do so in 7 dayss_ or with your next reply, whichever is sooner. Please note failure to action this will result in your review remaining offline and this matter being closed. "

Trustpilot failed in their previous emails to address any of the concerns I raised and just kept spouting the above.

Thursday, they have one month to respond to a request for erasure (not 48h). See link here.

I am a bit miffed that the Ocado share price has gone up a little bit today after losing 15% or so over the past week.

ThursdayNextIsMyHero · 11/10/2018 15:55

OK, thanks

Runningintothesunset · 11/10/2018 15:22

Thursday- they have 48 hours, so they’ve clearly breached that. You can report them to the ICO now under gdpr

ThursdayNextIsMyHero · 11/10/2018 13:59

I know the thread has moved on a bit, but I contacted Ocado to cancel my accoynt and remive my data on 28 Septemember and am still receiving emails from them. Is there a set period of time they have to do this? I can still log in to my account as well.

LurkingWaspi · 10/10/2018 20:52

Maybe Millie will become Millie Tant!

There's another thread going about Trustpilot, started this morning, I just found it. Doh!
