ByDid Ocado Ignore Your Complaints? — Here’s What To Do!
Ocado is registered in England and Wales with the number 03875000. It is a British online supermarket with no chain of stores, and it instead does home deliveries from its warehouses.
While it has been voted the best British online supermarket over several years, increasing complaints associated with the online retail store have also been reported. Complaints range from customers not receiving the money off offer, terrible customer service, — drivers claiming they could not find the customer’s address, dangerous driving, abusive and offensive Ocado drivers etc.
Although there are multiple ways you, as the customer, could file a complaint and follow it up to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, the process isn’t so straightforward. It could ultimately prove tedious, and in some cases, customers give up in the process. DoNotPay offers a faster, more convenient, automated, and less frustrating way to file your complaints as with other companies, such as Starbucks, Chipotle, BBC, Royal Mail, Hermes, Virgin Media, Tesco, Ofcom, and British Gas, and get your deserved refunds. The DoNotPay app is designed to take over the stress of the process, so you don’t have to!

Alternative Ways to File a Complaint Against Ocado Group
If contacting the customer service with your complaint doesn’t yield a satisfactory result, you could consider other alternatives:
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR):
This suggests looking for alternative ways to solve the dispute, which doesn’t involve going to court. Typical forms of ADR are:
- Mediation: An independent third party helps you achieve a mutually acceptable outcome that benefits both parties.
- Arbitration: An independent third party listens to facts and then proceeds to make a decision, often binding on one or both parties involved.
Ombudsman
An ombudsman is appointed to investigate complaints about companies and organizations. They’ll look at evidence from both sides and make a decision. However, the ombudsman’s investigation takes a long time, and you may have to wait a while for a decision to be made.
Small Claims Court
You could sue Ocado in a small claims court and get compensated for any damages inflicted on you. The total amount of money you can claim in the small claims court in England and Wales is £10,000.
