To think this is the most stupid substitute I have been sent to date.

[Bunraku]

I ordered an electric toothbrush on sale in my tesco delivery. The toothbrush was out of stock and so they have sent me the replacement heads.

My BIL ordered polo shirts for his dcs. ... they sent him polos!

Just picking myself off from the floor. Love the pregnancy/condoms. Almost makes we want to order online. Can i have a wooden owl please....

Two Christmases ago, my delivery (3 hours late) on Christmas Eve (5:45pm) they substituted my large turkey for 4 chicken breasts

I have had bubble bath instead of bath cleaning cream and hardwood floor cleaner instead of carpet cleaner.

It's when they don't substitute that I get cross. I mean, seriously, in your giant store you don't have ANY apple juice of ANY kind? Really?!

Or when I ask for a small chicken (I'm a vegetarian and dd2 is only 1 so doesn't eat a huge amount) and they send a chicken the size of a turkey that costs £10...that's annoying too! They did it with cheese once, I ordered 200g or something and got 1kg - I phoned to complain because it ended up being so expensive so I got the whole thing free .

Tonight's delivery is due in a bit, oh the suspense

Poulain...hope for a wood owl....

Hoping Poulin gets weird shit in the delivery.

I ordered Felix cat food, and got Persil washing liquid instead. I got a ten pound voucher after writing to tell them how offended my poor cat was.

This is an amazinng thread I ordered nappies and got 2 sizes too small.... not funny....thhese other posts are making me cackle!!

I was sent a tube of smarties instead of the 200 cigs I ordered!

I ordered some gummy sweets and got some international instant noodles!

I'll keep you posted. I never get entertaining subs though, sorry!

I quite often do personal shopping in a major supermarket i work in , the system is ridiculous ! Common sense is required . One substitute for out of stock yogurts was a pair of ladies trousers ! Or corned beef instead of roast ! We all over ride them , just laziness !

I also want a small wooden owl

I wonder if pickers do it on purpose. Think they are being funny when actually they are being PITA.

Last week I gained some oxo cubes and fabric conditioner.

we got 15 bags of 10 oranges once instead of 5 individual satsumas.... God knows what they were thinking- the bags just kept coming and coming.... needless to say we refused the substitution... with a giggle...

an owl would have been nice.... I want an owl now....

I've never had any good 'uns. But I do remember someone on here ordering mince...

And getting mints.

Tesco.

Instead of whole oranges I was given Terry's Chocolate Oranges

Marking place, these are always fun :o

Thiswayforcrazy What did you do?????

1 sub....

My pasta was replaced with...

A different pasta

Some years back my friend ordered lemon squash and got a bottle of Cif lemon.

This is rather pathetic but it irritated me.

Amongst about 50quid of baking ingredients (big charity bake sale) I'd ordered 3kg of golden caster sugar.

Realising they didn't have golden caster sugar, they clearly thought the golden bit, rather than the caster was key. I got 3kg of golden granulated. Argh.

davenotchas - have you looked on the other thread?
Someone posted 'A tesco delivery man told me he'd had a customer who got a pregnancy test instead of the condoms he'd ordered!'
That must have been your order

Not a substitution exactly, but who was it on here that sent her DH out with a shopping list?

She had written loo rolls and he came back with 100 rolls. That still makes me chuckle
