Is this a genuine error? Ocado- champagne

[amaryl]

I know it’s a first world problem.
I ordered 6 bottles of Veuve and they’ve delivered 3 bottles & 3 bottles of similar looking Prosecco. Not as a substitution, nothing mentioned, difference in price is about £25 a bottle

It looks it I'd contact them

Contact them. Veuve is my absolute favourite champagne, nice choice OP

Doesn't matter whether it's deliberate or a mistake, you need to contact them and get it sorted out. It's not what you ordered and not an agreed substitute.

I'd say genuine error, let them know so they can sort it x

They’ve obviously substituted it, I’d just keep it and enjoy!

Ocado are normally very good at rectifying mistakes if you call/email them .

Why do you think it might not be a genuine error?

Looks like an error.

Veuve Cliquot is lovely. Some Prosecco can be nice, but it ain't VC.

Best to get in touch

Little reindeer, wrong way round!!

What have you been charged for?

I'd want my Veuve not some cheap arse fizz.

YABU for posting this. Just call customer service and get it sorted.

They’ve obviously substituted it, I’d just keep it and enjoy!

What OP has been sent costs £25 a bottle LESS than what she actually paid for, that's not my idea of enjoyable [fhmmm]

I promise there is no charge for the extra 'm' in my smiley

I called as soon as it arrived
They have refunded, but it takes 10 days and said I can keep the Prosecco. Told me I could reorder the Veuve.
I’m not usually that cynical but my first reaction was to think someone was trying to pull a fast one!
That’s why I was asking if you thought it was feasible for someone to mix up the two bottles.

If you look at your bill online it will probably show that they adjusted the charge down to the cost of the cheap one. Check that first.

You’ll be able to return them. They clearly ran out of verve!! And who ever was doing your shopping isn’t a champagne expert at Ocado!! Sack them immediately

I think the bottles look similar enough to be genuinely mixed up by a packer. The labels on the neck are very alike.

They do look very similar. It's lucky you noticed before you got half cut and it all tasted the same anyway

I think they are really busy this time of year so is probably just a genuine error rather than something nastier like deliberately trying to short change you with cheaper bottles.

Hi Margot! 😂

I love Veuve Cliquot. Yum. I’d try and offer the Prosecco to anyone, who can’t tell the difference.

Ocado charge you for substitutions (not relevant here as it is cheaper) but worth checking in the future. So there is no enjoying any substitution with ocado.

I'd say genuine mistake. The pickers don't care what they're picking! Makes no difference to them what the value of the goods is.

Given the response yes I would say it’s someone who has no idea of the difference

I'd say genuine error - rapid picking, tops look very similar

YANBU not to want the Prosecco - vile stuff
