No politics please. Don't be a dick.

We're at the end of our rope with Asda. Everything is being substituted, and we're fine with that when it's just another brand of the same thing but like they're sending entirely different vegetables to the ones we need, they're substituting meat-free ordered items with actual meatballs, etc etc. It's got the point where the delivery guy just apologises sadly every week.

It's possible to set "do not substitute" on everything but it's a ballache, and then we'd still have to go shopping anyway since half our order would still be missing.

So. Which supermarkets actually deliver most of what you order? Or at the very least, have a sane policy of substitutions?

Thanks!

Edit: Added a cute dog pic for a bit of extra casualness.

Cheers, tbh I doubt we have access to Ocado round here but it's getting to the point where if we do, pricier might actually be worth it! Will look into it. (Update: nope)

Moaning and solidarity also appreciated, I wrote this post after we got today's substitutions list and it's more of an off-my-chest moment than anything else :D

Nah I get it. I've had substitutes before and there's so many, and they happen so often that I question why I'd even risk it to begin with.

Same goes with these new Deliveroo type ordering services, they're wrong just enough that I'm almost ready to give up with them completely.
