    If I was from Crowdity or Ocado, I would now be generating a minimum of 2,000 unique codes for at least the first 2,000 customers who signed up (as per the original deal).
    Best plan would be to generate a unique code for each person who signed up.
    Make them unique codes, one use only, and then people will be happy enough and then all this negative publicity will not continue.
    It's a complete farce and needs to be sorted.

    Thanks to everyone who has shown support today, we would love to still be running the offer. Ocado withdrew it without telling us. #underbus

    Ocado not looking good here, and remember it was they would commissioned the deal in the first place.

    It would be pretty easy to see if people were sending crowdity suppotive tweets..

    You do have to wonder how the offer was left to run when it went 11231230% over or whatever it was

    Gah! Ordered 4 boxes of nappies last night to be delivered here and another order to my dads. Wanted to place another couple of orders and get stocked up while I can but it was late last night.... I should learn my lesson and never put off deals that can be done today. Onwards and upwards.

    Nice one :T very greedy. Then again what goes around comes around. I ordered once for myself and that's it. No wonder they pulled the offer. I certainly don't think they'll reinstate it, not unless they can guarantee that those who registered with crowd city will get the offer.

    This is good idea. Shame on those greedy people who ordered more than once! You know who you are!

    because crowdity work on a minimum not a maximum.

    It's a shame but people abused it and so it snot surprising. I did place my order yesterday and it will be delivered tomorrow so i'm sorted. i do feel for genuine people who completed the crowdcity form. This was such a good offer that surely occado would know they would be inundated. What they should have done is limited it to 2,000 only, rather than get people's details first.
    why? that was the minimum number of people needed to get the deal.
