Feeding TMT

[Kenickie]

This is the second week that I've been unable to get any cling film at all. Strange.

I've ordered another sack of Ruby's delicious jelly sweets .

They're so good.

"A sack"

[Rebel Pebble]

I'm so pissed off about this now. We've booked an Ocado slot in September, and obviously a load of our usual items are no longer available, and the M&S substitutions they're suggesting are LOADS more expensive. It's absolutely crooked. I think we'll keep our annual delivery pass for now because of supply concerns after Brexit (although I know it doesn't guarantee anything) but switch to another supermarket for most shops.

I'm just about ready to sack Ocado off. I did an order for delivery today because I knew we might have to quarantine. It came to about £30 more than our Sainsburys C&C shops have been. So many things not available. No more Waitrose, no M&S yet. And I can see the price hike in branded things I buy regularly, like cranberry juice.

[Rebel Pebble]

Also they're pissing about with limiting access to the app in the same way they once were with deliveries. I can use it, but it still doesn't work on my Mum's account.

[emma_p]

I still get the “we’ve turned off our app” message but my friend definitely said she was using it the other week. Hmmm.

[Rebel Pebble]

Yep. It's infuriating. I was trying to amend her order on her tablet and it kept saying that, and redirecting to ocado.com but then the website would recognise it was a tablet and send me back to the not - working app. Complete circle of madness. While I was able to finish my own order on my phone no problem.

Luckily her order was for tomorrow so once we were home I could finish editing it on my PC this morning.

[purple_dress]

Hmmmm that is odd. I've been using the app again for weeks. When ordering for Sept there was all the M&S stuff. I didn't notice it being any more expensive from my perspective but I'm keeping an eye. We've signed up for Waitrose as well.

[emma_p]

Further Ocado news - no delivery slots at all for the next few days. That hasn't happened in AGES! I wonder if it's post-holiday quarantining?

eta they seem to have branded all the basic M&S stuff - rice, butter etc "remarksable"

I was doing my Mum's order for tomorrow and I saw that "remarksable" stuff. When I first spotted it I thought it was a typo. And SO many products just not available. Not just M&S but other branded stuff seems to have vanished. It's a bit of a mess quite frankly.

I nabbed her slot for this week while we were away, and grabbed another one for next week as soon as we were home. I think people quarantining, or thinking they might have to, is bound to have an impact.

We did Sainsbury's delivery, as opposed to C&C, for the first time this week and it was fine. I might revisit Waitrose delivery now too.

[Ella77]

We have slots coming up (including on Friday), but so much stuff is missing, you're right. I'm not impressed so far.

[Rosa]

I think lots more people are booking slots just because M&S is now available, and I suspect the changeover hasn't been easy. I'm sure it'll calm down. I may have been lucky as I had a delivery today with nothing missing. Remarksable, though .

ETA Remarksable isn't easy to type!

[emma_p]

I thought it was a typo too!

[nineseven]

What the fuck does remarksable mean? I don't get it

[Rosa]

No idea, other a determination to squeeze 'Marks' into the branding of that range. I'm sure whoever came up with it thought it was brilliant!

[nineseven]

It's so bad

[Skips]

For the first time in a while I am having to queue to enter the website.

[Lola]

I must be the only person on here who is pleased about the M&S Ocado thing. It’s the dream!

They’ve got Percy Pig vans

I can tell you with confidence that they are over the moon about it.
