Sainsbury's problems

I saw in the papers that there were problems this morning, but is anyone else still having issues?

My order this evening didn't arrive and when I try and book another slot on the website it just times out.

I couldn't log into the app again just now. I can log into the website ok though.

My order arrived as scheduled thankfully. Now waiting for Tesco!

Spaced them out well as once during lockdown a Sainsburys delivery rocked up followed immediately behind an Asda one! Was a little awkward!

My order arrived this morning and was complete.
I asked the driver if he had a lot of single bottles of champagne and he said he did

I've got a delivery booked for tomorrow which is just a bottle of champagne holding my slot, and now I can't check out tomorrow's actual food shop. Not the first time it's gone down a few hours before checkout!

I know not the point of the thread, but I don't understand why people hold slots with champagne that they don't actually want. Wouldn't it be better to do it with something like a couple of the big packs of toilet roll, that you will actually use if you forget to change your order/don't have time/the system crashes?

For me, it's a single item I can add that itself brings it above £40. If I forget, I don't lose a delivery charge getting the bottle of champagne I don't want. But it's also really obvious on my shopping list that I don't want it when I look back - as I edit my shop as I go along, there's a risk I won't notice loo rolls and remove them/remove them when I do want them. In no world am I buying a £50 bottle of champagne from a supermarket! 😂

Really curious as to why people do this instead of copying over a previous order .

I must try this champagne holding slot idea 😁

BlueShed · 26/04/2024 21:56

I always use four bottles of my favourite wine as the place holder so it wouldn't be an absolute disaster if it didn't turn up, rather than overpriced fizz which I don't need (much as I may want it 😃).

  • I do that because I normally remember I need to book a slot at a totally inconvenient time and don't have time there and then to think what I really need. I just want the slot confirmed and I edit the night before delivery.
  • I don't copy over a previous order or use random items like loo roll because it would then take me longer to edit the order to what I actually want. It far easier to just ditch the wine and start from an empty basket when I actually sit down to do it.

😂

I just stick my staples in, bread, milk, cat food, gin....

There were a few things missing from my order, the majority of them being Sainsburys own brand!

Anyone still not got the voucher? It says within 48 hours and it's been longer than that.

I haven't got the voucher yet either, I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow as I've already been on chat twice about it.

TwoTimesShoeShop · 01/05/2024 19:36

Had to chase several times and finally got it this morning! Ridiculous that I had to put so much effort into getting something that was an apology for them cancelling my delivery.

Hope everyone has got theirs now.

Same here, I had to chase again this week and finally got it on the third chat. I wonder if anyone got it automatically.
