Yay Nettie! Am always amused by the text earlier in the day, e.g.

"Dear Nettie,

your shopping will be delivered by Vladimir in a Lemon/Cabbage Van.."

Although IME Cabbage vans are bad luck, Lemon vans never turn up with missing items

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 24/03/2010 23:54

Mine normally comes in the strawberry shortcake van! It's fab

Ocado is cheaper purely because they don't send you nearly out of date kak that you have to chuck out after a couple of days!

Nettiespagetti · 25/03/2010 00:00

Oooo now I am excited!!! I want a strawberry shortcake one!!!

And I'd like the driver to be called Titus

lotster · 25/03/2010 00:02

True.

The times I have had "ripen at home" fruit from Tescos/Sainsbo's etc that literally never ripens.. except one morning, you awaken to find that your cannonball stye plums did ripen, for about a nanosecond around 3am then promptly began to decompose

lotster · 25/03/2010 00:02

that was to Madame

lotster · 25/03/2010 00:03

Nettie have you ever actually met a Titus?

I have, he was possibly the best looking man I have ever seen.

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 25/03/2010 00:04

Don't forget your free wine on the anniversary of your first order, they tend to send you a bottle of something you ordered last, I may try champagne this year

Nettiespagetti · 25/03/2010 00:09

lotster I have not...... I want him I want lotsters Titus!
belle have entered in calender for next year to remind me to order Dom perigon months before!!

lotster · 25/03/2010 00:11

Ooh good tip Belle- is this why I keep getting free blueberries then?

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 25/03/2010 00:20

I've never had free blueberries!! They bring me little bottles of vodka! (I don't like vodka, it's still in the fridge)

NormalityBites · 25/03/2010 10:15

Send it to me Belle

mutters about being Ocado's biggest fan even though I've never had anything free

DuchessOfAvon · 25/03/2010 10:41

The Onion Bahji van arrived last night and there was a bonus block of cheese in the delivery. Do I own up?

ampster · 25/03/2010 11:06

I've never had anything free or received a text about delivery even though they have my number! It isn't fair!

Morloth · 25/03/2010 11:19

I keep getting mixers (like tonic water etc) as my freebies.

They are nice but piling up in the cupboard cause I can't hit the vodka at the moment.

lotster · 25/03/2010 13:35

Onion Bahji van?! Strawberry shortcake?!

My broccoli and lemon vans feel second rate now...

Why would they send one woman voddy and the other blueberries? I love the randomness!

You will all be pleased to hear I received an email today for my iffy chipolatas:

"I am very sorry to hear that the Waitrose Free Range Pork Chipolatas in your order were damaged. I can assure you that this information has been passed on to our warehouse management team. They are able to identify who picked and packed your shopping and will be giving further training to the individuals concerned in order to ensure a similar occurrence is not repeated. "

Hilaaaarious

lotster · 25/03/2010 13:36

I meant received a REFUND!

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 25/03/2010 17:49

Don't you just love them? They try so hard, it's fab!! Everyone deserves customer service like this. (wonders if she gets more free stuff if she emails them to tell them how fab they are).

I had exactly the same response when they sent me a mouldy orange.

MrsC2010 · 25/03/2010 18:02

They do have great customer service. I used to use Asda delivery and found their website easier to use as it is more intuitive, but prefer the food and service at Ocado.

lotster · 26/03/2010 00:07

Well tonight I was visited by James in an Onion Express van. I wanted diversity and I got it.

Still want a strawberry shortcake van.

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 26/03/2010 00:12

Maybe the strawberry van just delivers to the east midlands?? It's lurvely, it's red and looks like a giant strawberry!!

lotster · 26/03/2010 00:29

You should be in bed Belle!

I'm off, but sure I can find some more to simper about Ocado tomorrow!

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 26/03/2010 00:31

Bed?? What's that?

Night lotster
