Just that really, just checked my Christmas shop receipt and I have 1 sub, an organic cucumber instead of a normal one. Everything else is there and being delivered this morning. It's made me happy as thought I'd have to do a last minute trip out for things missing. Thank you Sainsbury’s 😊

We had a Christmas hamper delivered yesterday, no substitutions. It included all our Christmas pudding options, snacks, all the drinks, cheeses and crackers. Absolutely thrilled I don't have to go to a supermarket between now & New Years

My Tesco's delivery was all present and correct too. I was most worried about the marzipan for the cake, but even that was there 🙌🏼

I have a Morrisons one due this morning. One substitution- cheddar cheese, which they have just swapped for a bigger one. Also relieved that I don't have to brave the shops.

I have Asda on the way. Instead of 1 lemon I have a pack of 4 coming and instead of 4 croissants I have 6! Everything else for Christmas is there. Brilliant! Thank you Asda. Can’t wait to put it all in the fridge.

Just had the receipt for mine, Tesco frozen croissants subbed for Pret A Manger ones, Tesco unsalted butter for Lurpak, fresh rosemary for fresh ‘mixed roasting herbs’ and just ice cream not available today.

Miles better than I was expecting so pretty pleased! Will nip out this afternoon for ice cream and rosemary.

I’m usually happy with my deliveries, unfortunately my latest Sainsbury’s order didn’t include a Christmas gift of malt whisky. Even if the one I ordered wasn’t available, there are plenty of others to choose from. I should at least have had the option to accept it.

Rocksaltrita · 22/12/2024 08:42

Gave up on Sainsbury’s deliveries a long time ago after all the fruit and veg looked like the dregs that were left and they short dated most things. Once ordered 4 packs of croissants for a brunch, they were delivered at 10pm dated that day. Always felt like I was being cheated out of the freshest stuff. Same with fish and meat. Always dated that day or the next.

Don’t be too smug until it’s actually delivered OP! I have mine later today with 7 substitutions but experience tells me that many more will be actually missing Xmas Hmm

LimeYellow · 22/12/2024 08:46

Only two subs in mine and neither of them are deal breakers. Phew!

Yes I had similar with me delivery yesterday. Apprently no tins of quality street and nothing it could possible subbed with. Baffled me

Everything else was fine

I was in my local Tesco the other day and overheard 2 pickers complaining about the substitutes that they are told to get, saying that there are better options, they cannot substitute themselves, it has to be what their system says. Slightly annoyed at my delivery, quite a few things with short dates that need eating sooner.

mrsnjw · 22/12/2024 08:57

Two short dates and one sub that was toilet roll. Well done Tesco. Still need to collect my turkey from Waitrose on Xmas eve though!!

shockeditellyou · 22/12/2024 09:00

Tesco coming this morning- one kind of orange juice changed for another but otherwise all there.

Planesmistakenforstars · 22/12/2024 09:24

Delivery arriving this morning with no substitutions. Great news as it was the only slot available for the week before Christmas, we don't have a car and don't live near a shop. Thank you Tesco!

ladyvimes · 22/12/2024 09:25

My Tesco order was short 7 things! So annoyed as they were mainly essentials too!

Smithstreet · 22/12/2024 09:29

I am waiting my delivery. It says all there. Fingers crossed.

doodleschnoodle · 22/12/2024 09:34

Our Tesco delivery has no subs or unavailable, just one short date on a yoghurt that we are using before Christmas anyway. Hooray! Even my goose fat is there.

12purplepencils · 22/12/2024 09:35

Grrrr why didn’t I order an online Christmas shop!! 😭

AlexandrinaH · 22/12/2024 09:39

My Ocado order was all present too! Very pleased.

Chipsahoy · 22/12/2024 09:41

Asda two short dates but otherwise all present and correct.

NotARealWookiie · 22/12/2024 10:08

Sainsburys have done me over. 13 subs. Not happy.

OldTinHat · 22/12/2024 10:27

I'm waiting for Asda to deliver between 11-12 today. I've not even had a receipt yet, it still says 'preparing', grrrrr!!

FutureFry · 22/12/2024 10:47

Yep, Sainsbury's for the win. I booked it 2 days ago and the email says there will be one substitute : smoked salmon for a similar smoked salmon. Win!
