Anyone else trying to do an online Sainsbury’s shop and everything is unavailable?

[Dunlin]

We're isolating, DS has covid. Second delivery, as DH wasxusolatibg for close contact the week before and we didn't want to get stuck.
No broccoli, no bread and no chicken last week (all with subs allowed).
I'm dreading seeing what turns up this week. Couldn't have more than 2 milk (given this is the only thing with any nutritional value I can get into DS right now I'm not impressed), couldn't have more than 1 broccoli. I yavnt logged back in to see what else I cant have.

Sorry, that's tesco.

Btw I'm as remainer as they come but I'm laughing out loud at the Brexit doom-mongers here 😂

I was in Morrison's this morning. Lots of empty shelves and spaces. Ive also noticed many price rises. Flour up by 10 p, my usual spread up by 20p. There were staff with pallets trying to fill shelves. Not sure if this was a delivery issue or not.

I know people salivating to use the brexit line

They're having "technical challenges" apparently. I went to amend our order for tomorrow and it said absolutely everything was no longer available, and did I want to substitute?! (though there were no available substitutions for anything...). I panicked, and abandoned the changes, but back on the home page it said there was a computer issue - not stock issues (though of course there may be individual stock issues in some stores). I highly doubt we're not going to get anything in our weekly order tomorrow... though will eat my words if that is the case!

Was in Morrison's this morning , and it was like Christmas week with the queues .

Go in person? Been tonight and no empty shelves except passion fruits which are hardly essential (except to make passion fruit martinis)

Brexit indeed 🤣

I went to Tesco today. I got everything I wanted although it looked like they'd had a bit of a run on bbq food and gin

Interesting, my Morrison's delivery has just been and loads of substitutions or just items missing

Same here, almost everything in my favourites list apparently unavailable! Have currently placed an order for tomorrow morning that is 95% chocolate because one particular kind was the only thing in my entire favourites folder that was available...

My local Tesco and M&S have hardly any food. It’s got to the point that Tesco have corned off parts of the store and reduced the availability on the shelf. It’s been like that for a few weeks now. I heard through a friend that they are trying to recruit drivers.

It’s not just brexit that’s the problem but that hasn’t helped. Loads of staff in distribution centres will be off isolating. Also new drivers aren’t coming through when old ones retire. It’s costs a Fortune to train as a HGV driver and the money is not what it used to be. It’s hard work, long hours for very little pay.

I did my weekly shop in Sainsbury's this morning.

Most weeks the shelves are fully stocked, but today there was quite a few bare patches. Especially in the salad section.

@0blio

I don't think it's anything to do with Brexit some people will do anything to shoehorn that in, and those hijacking are not sorry!

I've just been to Aldi and got everything I needed, the shelves were full.

Quite

Yes! We have a delivery coming on Sunday, I checked it out yesterday and I want to add more stuff but I’m scared to amend it because now half the order is coming up as unavailable and I don’t want it all to disappear from my basket!

On their Twitter account they are saying there is a technical issue with amending orders. If you have already checked out your order will be safe but you can't amend. You can cancel if you want.

They are also advising people to try a little later and clear the caches and cookies when trying again.

iceland (delivery) took payment from me, but then refunded because they could not supply beef mince, bread, pork loins, bottles of still water. Worrying. Last week it was chicken thighs that were unavailable.

OH did big shop today in Sainsburys and got everything on list. Perhaps it depends on where you are.

my order lost most stuff so Im glad to hear it could be a technical error and will check again later!

IR35 is causing problems within supply chains though. There aren't enough lorry drivers available to do the runs, so stock is either getting delivered late or not at all.

DP works in logistics and im on the receiving end of his rants about this every night when he comes home

Isn't this what the country voted for?

My Morrison's order tonight came without spring onions, Becks blue, salt and vinegar crisps, ice cream, courgettes, peanut butter, cucumber and cava. And it was 1.5 hours late. Poor driver was very apologetic but I just felt sorry for him as he said everyone was complaining to him.
