Ocado Complaint & My 425 Error

Hi Ocado

I have had a frustrating day today. Have you any idea how to fix a 425 error on an ftp server? No, neither have I.

Recently I undertook a project called Supermarket Slut. I became fed up of Sainsburys not being able to deliver chicken that lasted long enough through the week.

Chicken breasts are the one item that I require to last through the week – as they are for my salad for Monday to Friday and tend to go off. Other things being short-dated I can just about work around – as long as it isn’t everything.

Anyway, I’m digressing. So I undertook the Supermarket Slut project, as I did feel very close to Sainsburys yet repeatedly let down. We’ve had some good chats over the years, especially when it comes to my scientific endeavours. I’m not sure that they believe that I am building a teleport machine but they play along anyway.

Maybe we will have some good conversations too, but maybe we won’t, as both packs of chicken received today are only dated until Tuesday.

I am not happy.

This is the reason I stopped shopping with Sainsburys and gave all the other supermarkets a chance. Even Asda. Can you imagine?

Sainsburys actually came top in Supermarket Slut but you came a close joint second – and I like that you have a greater range of fish.

I would send you the spreadsheet but I think it’s on my work computer.

Anyway. I hope you can understand my point in between the giblets.

Regards
James

ps If you can fix my 425 error then we will be good friends.

Hi James!

Although I’m aware of and have used FTP servers, I’m afraid fixing a 425 error is beyond me!

Oh and the teleport machine certainly intrigues…

Anyway, on to the chicken, we display a life guarantee on the webshop for all the fresh items we sell. The number displayed relates to the number of days of use you can expect, including the delivery day. Our produce comes straight from our suppliers to our warehouse and then on to you. We don’t pick from stores, which means your shopping’s never been handled by other customers, or sat on the shelf for days before it gets to you.

We’re constantly working with our suppliers behind the scenes to get this information for you and to make sure that you get the freshest produce. We hope the life guarantee will help you plan your meals and help reduce food wastage, something that we’re very conscious of.

I’d certainly like to look into this for you; if you’d be so kind as to provide the use by date and product batch code (the batch code will appear as a series of numbers and letters or a date/time stamp, I’ll be able to investigate further.

Regardless, on this occasion I’ve refunded you for the chicken breasts and you’ll receive an automated email to confirm this.

I hope this helps and if there is anything further I can assist you with, please do let me know and I’ll personally be on hand to help 🙂

Kind regards,

Imz

P.S. Although I can’t help you with the 425 error, I hope we can still be friends!
