I was notified by two of my ID Monitoring services that they had both found the logon and passcode I was using for the country store website, on the dark web.
I went to country store website to change the passcode. There is no provision on the website to change the passcode nor anything else.
I emailed customer service. They sent me back instructions to make up a dummy order and hit the order button. This will bring up a screen where I will be given the option to change my passcode.
I tried it 5 times and the screen never appeared.
I contacted them again and they told me I had to call this number.
I called the number and It was the number for catalog sales.
I was transferred 7 times, each time I was told in effect "not my job" area.
The 7th person I talked to wanted to transfer me back to the 3rd person I talked to. And I stopped her
She finally admiited they have nothing to do with the website. I said okay then transfer me to the people that run the website. She told me she did not know who they were and had no email nor contact phone numbers.
I was totally befuddled that a website had no provision for making changes to personal data and a company who didn't know who was running their website and still making no offer to put me in touch with someone who did.
In sheer frustration I sent an email request to close the account, remove all of my personal information, ad send me a verification when it was completed.

Tip for consumers:
Try to sign in as a guest and use a throw away logon and passcode.

Products used:
This is not about products it is about the security of their website.

Stop & Shop has taken total control of Peapod and it is a vast improvement.

They have gone above and beyond during this pandemic.

It is a genuine pleasure using this service, especially now.

Peapod's new on-line ordering system is a loser

Peapod does provide decent service and are quick to respond to any complaints. The problem is their systems. A few months back they lost an entire order and I didn't find out about it till the morning it was supposed to be delivered. Even though their tech people assured me that the system problem has been fixed and the order was still scheduled for delivery.
But, the biggest frustration to date is their allegedly new and improved on-line ordering program. I can only compare it to what Ancestry.com did to their system. Three steps backwards. The site is cluttered and confusing. It requires more strokes to navigate. It has a very poor print utility. What used to print in 1 1/2 pages now takes 6 pages of paper and ink.
I make these observations from experience. My job was to train and roll-out new programs for several hundred thousand employees. The best way to sell it was to tell the employees about the improvement and benefits they would be getting at their level. I wouldn't want to try and sell this one, because there are none. This appears to be improvements strictly for Peapod, s advantage

I will give it a chance until it frustrates me to the point of closing the account

They have appeared to have gotten the bugs out of the system, but my last order was short 8 items, suddenly out-of-stock after I placed the order.

I will go back to shopping in the store for awhile.
