What are the chances of my Ocado delivery arriving today?

[orlakeilyhandbag]

I was wondering if my Ocado delivery will arrive. Has anyone out there got a delivery from them on this snowy day?

Post of the day - right here

Funnily enough I was concerned about the same thing (SO middle class east Dulwicch lol). And then, magically, I saw the van out and about at about 8am this morning. Like Santa's foody sleigh.

So never fear, it looks like our fairtrade hand knitted museli will arrive after all :)

Don't know about Ocado but my milkman delivered this morning, bringing enough milk for today and tomorrow. He will be getting a tip this week. Well done Dairy Crest!

[Pickle]

My milkman bravely made his way to my door today too (also with 2 days worth of milk, maybe we've got the same milkman!). Poor guy looked frozen, but still managed a cheerful chat before trudging on his way (being pelted with snowballs by my neighbours kids!).

I saw an Ocado van driving down my road at about 10am, so there are some vans out.

[Pozzee]

I had also considered this. How sad am I?

Saw an Ocado van driving up Copleston Road this morning

Please - we must stop this now. Ocado is a sign of obvious excess. We must send our housekeepers to do the shopping in Morrison's on the bus. This is the credit crunch darlings...

Until Ocado start to deliver in unmarked vans like Net-a-porter, they will not be summoned by me to deliver to my home. It is so very over!

Ocado = Tesco price match, free delivery and I had a 15% off voucher this week. Very credit crunch friendly!

Free delivery - how do you get that? I paid ?5.99 for delivery on my order today. Where am I going wrong?

Anyone who drives a Hummer is having the last laugh today.

Is this thread a 'joke' thread? I just laughed so hard milk came out of my nose.

[KalamityKel]

One assume you were drinking milk at the time honk or it may be advisable to seek medical attention in the immediate future!

Ere its not just you ED types that are middle class - I was wondering if our Ocado delivery would get to us in Nunhead this evening!

[jocelyn]

Also net a porter have their logo on their vans! I've seen them deliver to a lucky person on my road several times.

[giggirl]

I've seen two Ocado vans out and about in ED today so I would say your chances are good. God bless Ocado van drivers!

[Kells]

Tesco have cancelled mine, good luck with Ocado. But there's always beans on toast! (Or I could walk to the local shop, if I wasn't feeling lazy)

[*Bob*]

Thank God for Ocado!

There was even talk of trying to find the tin opener at one point today - but fortunately 'our man' got through and the great news is that the airfreighted Peruvian asparagus has not been substituted.

Hope everyone else is ok!

Damn it to hell and back, damn blast and double damn!

Just got a txt from Ocado saying our delivery today ain't coming today! Rearranged for tomorrow evening instead!

[Mick Mac]

Maybe the Ocado vans are superhuman and can take us all to work tomorrow - they seem to be able to succeed where buses and trains cannot.

We don't use Ocado every week (anymore) as but I always look forward to their turn as a you open the door to a retired bank manager type who calls you sir and is only too delighted to take the shopping through to ones kitchen for you - lovely people.

You get what you pay for - the Tesco equivalent has cheeky chappie (just out of jail/borstal) telling my wife he is not obligated to carry shopping into the customer's house if he feels it is not safe to do so.... Ha Ha..who's he kidding, the lazy boll*cks

As for that Ocado doing a Teeco price check - I think that must be complete bollocks... our Ocado shop was always significantly more expensive than the other mainstream supermarkets.

Have a walk up and down the Lane and buy some stuff you lazy sods!

[Applespider]

This morning's deliveries probably left their warehouse late last night so might have already been in the area before the worst of the snow landed. Post-4pm deliveries weren't likely to leave until this morning so got caught up in the chaos I'd guess.

For free deliveries from Ocado, you need to book the late appointments on unpopular days of the week. I can't recall paying more than ?2 or so ever!

[Mellors]

Mine's booked fopr 9pm tomorrow and it was free.

If you are in during the day there are often free slots as well.

[zephyr]

paid for a year of deliveries up front which included my christmas one. Works out at about ?2 per delivery if I do not use it for 3 weeks of the year (when we are away)

Oh and only SOME of their items are price matched. Interestingly this week I did a second shopping list on tesco and it was pretty similar. Sometimes however Ocado has been up to ?8 more expensive (on a ?120 shop)

Yes, but you can request for it to be delivered in a brown paper bag, in an unmarked vehicle sweetie.

My housekeeper came home from Morrisons unscathed - yes she walked five miles, but the exercise did her good. Even pensioners need to keep fit you know (sigh).
