The group, which operates from a vast central warehouse, plans to use some of the float proceeds to build another warehouse to service the Midlands and the north. More than 80% of sales are in the London area, but deliveries are already sent as far north as Leeds

The home delivery services are good, especially for things like big heavy stuff like cat food & drinks etc, but I got fed up of all the veg/fruit being on the date or a day before. Buying fruit and veg for the week and having a day to use it all was a bit rubbish, as was some of the substitutions they made (we ordered cat food and they didn't have the one we wanted so they substituted it with fish type - they weren't to know but as two of my cats are allergic to fish, it was useless and we had to send it back) were crap so we had to send them back & go and reshop for the missing items. The delivery times were crap for us too, it was like a week in advance!

Ok London and a few privileged places. They hardly deliver anywhere. Whish they would hurray up and roll it out.

I find the Tesco delivery service quite good. I used it all the time when I lived up in Peterhead as the nearest supermarket was 5 miles away and I had no car. The deliveries were always on time and the drivers helpful. I did have a slight issue with a couple of their substitute items but I just refused them and the driver happily took them back and I wasn't charged for them. I tend not to buy fresh fruit and veg online anyway - I prefer to go to a shop and choose my own.

It would have been nice if Ocado had delivered here so I could got my £15 of free stuff but never mind.

Had one of those last month. Equally nice. Mid-week delivery reduces the delivery costs too, which is handy.

Was. There's now WaitroseDeliver which is Waitrose's own. They may use each other's services of course.

Tesco seem to have improved their systems (at least they have here). They claim to always pick stuff with decent dates if they can, and I had no complaints about the results. There was only one item that was same/next day and they put it in a blue bag so you can give it back if you don't want it.

Obviously picking your own is still better.

My parents get Orcado deliveries. There's a depot down the road from where we live

I;'ve used Ocado a few times, it's a brilliant service IMO.
