I'm not being crazy right, these are a very poor relation to hass?

Are you just making words up / taking the mickey or are these actually different types of avocados?! If so well done for telling the difference and give Ocado what for!!

You can tell I'm not a cook, eh...

Normally, they'd bill you the lower price (and would only substitute if they'd run out of what you ordered).

If they've not done that, then yes request refund.

007JamesBond · 10/04/2015 19:01

Absolutely. This is beyond shocking. Ring the Daily Mail. That should help bring your plight to the masses.

Artandco · 10/04/2015 19:01

I would want hass ones too tbh, but would prob just get over it if you already have them

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 10/04/2015 19:05

Depends did you buy "Hass avocado" or just "avocado"?

VenetiaFleet · 10/04/2015 19:07

I know how you feel OP, the other day they sent me mere Waitrose Essential feta instead of the organic kind imported from Greece that I ordered originally...

Artandco · 10/04/2015 19:10

To be fair that's pretty good, I once ordered wet wipes for babies bum, and received dettol wipes.

AuntieStella · 10/04/2015 19:10

And they have a mere 9 types of guacamole.

(A reassuring 48 of hummus).

What is the world coming to?

VivaLeBeaver · 10/04/2015 19:11

Yabu.

are the best

MamainMilan · 10/04/2015 19:13

YANBU for preferring Hass. Y might be a little bit U to complain as it's not a terrible replacement.

They once sent me cous cous instead of organic puy lentils.

I just gritted my teeth, and got through somehow. I've always been a fighter, though.

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 10/04/2015 19:14

I asked customer service about this. They charge for the amount that the delivered item costs, so if your undelivered item was £3 and the substituted item was £5 they will charge you £5. Check your receipt!!

YABU for ordering avocados. They taste like slime.

HairyMcMary · 10/04/2015 19:32

MN-ers may mock, but shiny avocados = shiny ham.

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 10/04/2015 19:34

Slime they are. Slime.

NotADaffodil · 10/04/2015 19:46

YANBU, the bastards

DoJo · 10/04/2015 19:49

YANBU because the last few threads about avocados on here have made use of the term 'cados and you did not.

ChrisQuean · 10/04/2015 19:55

Can't you just mash them up into guacamole and hope no one notices the difference? Tis awful of Ocado, I agree.

silveroldie2 · 10/04/2015 20:13

Avocados aren't just slime, they're slimy slime. Yuk.

LL0015 · 10/04/2015 20:17

If they do this to me in the morning (avocado is on my always list) then they will be getting a call from me.

My cravendale milk dated 15/4 was already sour when I opened it this am.
AND
My clarks maple syrup bottle had a split in it so half of it is on the larder shelf.

I kid you not.

Crocodopolis · 10/04/2015 20:47

Perhaps you could ask Russell Brand to lead a boycott of Waitrose / Ocado on your behalf.

Failing that, the Daily Mail.

thetroubleis · 10/04/2015 21:20

I can see the headline- AvOcado gone mad?

expatinscotland · 10/04/2015 21:22

I'm a snob about avocados. Only Haas, please. Yes, get a refund.

JennyOnTheBlocks · 10/04/2015 21:23

in fact, i'm bowing, on one knee

Crocodopolis · 10/04/2015 21:39

thetroubleis, that was brilliant. Well done.

Have a hat.

thetroubleis fantastic!

Stitchintime1 · 10/04/2015 21:44

I had to google to see what you were on about. And now I see it. Sort of. Hass clearly better but no biggie.
