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.

She could be trying to avoid a situation like we got into recently where our delivery guy started making personal recommendations based on what he's picked up about our habits. If you cycle between them, they get to know you less! ๐Ÿ˜„

I just asked, she says that she chooses the one that has the stuff in she likes. She also says that Sainsburys are the best for sending the least substitutions, but they tend to be more expensive overall.
