what does this mean? when was this? I still see a lot of Waitrose products at the moment.

I think the full switch lands at the end of September, but already some of the Waitrose Essentials items are going out of stock a lot faster than they used to; the limited depth of stock for these items has served to remind me which items I purchase regularly that are Waitrose ones and for which I need to see if M&S has a suitable replacement, so far it has been mixed results for me. You can also find some M&S items entering the inventory if you scroll down past your favorites. I am expecting to see a lot more M&S items get pushed as discounted flash sale items at checkout over the next few weeks so that M&S can get some of these replacement items marked as favorites in your account.

Ocado are switching to M&S (from Waitrose) within the next month or two.

Ocado manage their own delivery system, they view themselves as a warehouse and delivery technology company at their core. What may change is who's stuff they deliver.
