Ocado doesn't. That is the comparison I'm making—I'm not suggesting that Amazon should get into one-hour delivery slots. Tight arse: fair point. Amazon lives up to its promise. Ocado doesn’t.

Amazon does not promise a delivery slot of one hour. If they did, they would have exactly the same issue as ocado. Also, amazon does not do the deliveries, the deliveries tend to be books that fit through the letter box etc etc etc. The second issue is to get smart. Take the first delivery of the day and don't be a tight arse. They get later as they go through the day and the food is not stuck in the van as long. Who the hell shops at the poshest most expensive online shopping company and then tries to save 5 quid on delivery. Bizarre. But that is not a fair comparison.
