Best (online) delivery grocery service 2012

As it's December, how about a bit of fun rating those supermarkets to get the Strictly UNofficial MISER (MSEr) Forum award for Best online grocery delivery service.

Here's your chance to tell any lurking supermarket bosses why you think their service was the best you got in 2012 or alternatively why you didn't vote for them because it was complete rubbish.

I'll allow Iceland because they deliver even if you have t go choose yourself.

Apologies if I've missed any others that deliver, please post if so.

  • Co-op deliver your shopping for you, you shop they drop kind of thing :)

  • Have to vote other because....

    Co-Op - closest 12 miles away but too far away to deliver.
    Iceland, Tesco - next closest 18 miles away but still too far.
    Sainsbury's - next closest 26.1 miles away but still too far.
    Waitrose - next closest 49.7 miles away but still too far.
    ASDA - furthest away at 52.5 miles but oddly the only one that delivers here & I have never been tempted to shop with them.
    Abel & Cole, Ocado - don't deliver here.

    My online grocery shopping tends to be primarily from Approved Food or Rosspa. Shopping instore presents a different set of challenges as I rely on a very inefficient public transport network.

    Ocado - Always get what ordered,
    deliveries tend to be on time,
    Freshness good,
    Website generally good,
    delivery price guarantees,
    packing is a bit hit n miss though
    prices can be steep but often a voucher deal / special offers

    Tesco - Tend to get what ordered
    Deliveries on time
    freshness good
    Good prices esp. as can opt for value brands
