What's the best one?
And why?

Might give it a go.

  • I keep meaning to

    to stock up on big items I normally can't be arsed picking up. I could get a year's worth of bog roll, kitchen roll, juice, beer, canned goods, packets of stuff, rice, pasta etc. Then I would be free to do a weekly shop where I just buy interesting stuff, things on offer, meat, fish and veg.

  • depends what you want

    ocado - good range, high quality, rarely substitute, hour delivery slots, but pricey on delivery and in general

    sainsburys/tesco - moreorless the same as each other in terms of price and service

    asda - pretty good, cheap

    waitrose - free delivery fr over £50 but need to make final checkout by 1145am the day before

    lot of them offer these smart delivery passes now which make it cheaper if you stick with the one store every week...I tend to chop and change depending on what's on the list, how much money we've got and when we need it delivered

    • Isn't Ocado the same as Waitrose?

      Always just assumed it was

      Jamienaz @Slicky | 5 Feb '14, 16:32 | X
      • nope

        they sell waitrose branded stuff but also their own Ocado brand and a load of other stuff you don't find in a normal supermarket - especially vegetarian brands, stuff from overseas and gourmet stuff.

        All comes from a warehouse rather than a store so is generally but fresher than supermarket too.

        apparently they are soon to be setting up with morrisons, not sure if that is good or bad really or whether it is alongside waitrose or instead of

        Slicky @Jamienaz | 5 Feb '14, 16:38 | X
        • Morrisons.com is now a thing in the rather vague 'Midlandsy' area that my depot covers

          And Yorkshire.

          Operated completely separately to Ocado. Own website, its own bit of the warehouse. Comes in a 'Morrisons' van with a 'Morrisons' driver.

      • no

        ocado uses its own warehouses which are centralised and contain everything. That's why they don't deliver everywhere as their geo penetraion isn't as good as waitrose. Waitrose delivery is picked form the shelves of your local waitrose store- so closer and fresher, but if your local store doesn't stock a certain item, you won't be able to get it.

      • As an Ocado driver

        This annoys me.

        Also, the delivery isn't expensive at all. Quite a lot of slots are free when you spend £75. New customers get a £20 voucher too. If you keep registering different email addresses, you keep getting £20 off :/

        • You've been massively disrespected here

          you need to do something about it or it will keep happening.

          • My girlfriend also gets grief about it

            She works at Waitrose and has idiots ringing up/coming into her store to complain about/return items that have come from Ocado.

            • You want to get some leaflets printed up then, mate

              and stick them through a few doors. Should clear up the common misconception.

              Or get a badge that you can point to. Or suttin.

  • M&S need to start doing online ordering

    ma0sm | 5 Feb '14, 16:33 | X
  • i used sainsbury's

    their site is utter shite.

    justanothersheeldz | 5 Feb '14, 16:40 | X
    • Use mysupermarket.co.uk

      Much nicer design / easier to use. When you've added everything and go to checkout it just sends you to Sainsbury's website for you to pay and book your delivery time, etc.

  • No room in my tiny flat for loads of shopping

    Might do online shopping for one pint of a milk at a time, couple of times a week.

  • Obligatory home delivery anecdote

    my mate who used Tesco home delivery when he lived in a flat above a Sainsbury's.

    Royter-Hatfood | 5 Feb '14, 16:47 | X
    • When I was at Asda

      We had a customer who lived in a flat above a Tesco and the only place we could park the vans was on the Tesco car park :D

      urbanfox @Royter-Hatfood | 5 Feb '14, 17:01 | X
  • And a newer anecdote:

    My mum did a Waitrose order and some of the replacement items were Duchy Originals. She rejected them because she 'didn't want any money to go to Prince Charles'.

    Massive middle-class problems, the delivery heezer didn't understand at all.
