To be unimpressed with this substitution

[Corrag]

I know these are difficult times but FFS Sainsburys! If I order a box of wine and it's not available, surely you should sub it for another box? Or perhaps 3 bottles so it's a similar amount. Not a single 18.7cl bottle. It's neither use nor ornament!

I find Sainsbury’s just don’t substitute wine. If it’s not available they act like there’s no other winery the shop. I don’t care if they substitute one Sauvignon Blanc for another. But I guess they’ve had previous complains from fussier wine drinkers than me.

Exactly this happened to one of my friends too - they'd ordered 2 or 3 fullsize bottles of red and got a miniature white. I'd be raging!
I agree that it should be at least the same quantity or more.

can you still reject subs at the moment-im getting a click and collect next week

This was why I stopped shopping online (that and I got a job in another, rival, supermarket).

I had several dogs. I used to do my online shop monthly and order 4 x 21 cans of dogfood (in those trays). Which was a month's supply.

I would regularly receive just 4 cans. Not even 21 cans or 4 x 21 loose cans (if there were no trays). Just 4 single cans. Which wasn't enough to get me through one day. What the hell? If I had to go out to buy more dog food, then I may as well do all my food shopping whilst I was there - which I eventually started doing.

Best one I've had - ordered a bottle of lemon juice, substituted with lemon washing up liquid!

I feel your pain. Asda keep swapping the cider flavours I order. Not quite as bad as the oranges I ordered being subbed for garlic bulbs a couple of weeks ago. Still not over that

I ordered a 5 kilo bag of potatoes once, and got one single new potato.

I ordered a 20 litre bag of cat litter, they sent me a tiny 5 litre bag. I have 4 cats!

I ordered a bag of frozen sliced mushrooms (I know, very lazy but convenient). I recieved one single button mushroom as a substitute instead 🤷‍♀️

I had this in reverse - we're not big wine drinkers but I needed some for a recipe so I ordered a miniature and got a box which has been put away to give to my parents after lockdown

One of the funniest I read on here ages ago was OP had ordered Barn Eggs and they sent her a wooden owl ornament.

My funniest sub from Asda was a Jamaican ginger cake instead of four cans of Jamaican ginger beer.

At least they got the country right

Think I read on here once someone ordering bottles of white wine and being subbed loaves of white bread

I ordered poo bags once and they were sub'd with doggy vitamins. Not sure if they were to bung him up so we wouldn't need the poo bags??

'Lol!'

Yeah but I asked for specific chocolate bars and they didn't have them....And had no alternative!!!!

These are all hilarious

Ordered dairy free (vegan) chocolate puddings
Got gluten free (and and vegan) puddings instead.

Wasn't there someone on here who ordered raspberry jelly and got KY jelly as a substitute? Still makes me chuckle.

This was years ago but my Grandma used to send her list to the shop then they’d deliver it. She told me she ordered and really wanted a Kit Kat.

When her shopping came it said ‘none available, have sent Whiskas instead’.

@LottieLizzie you've got my wine box. Thief!

I ordered Jaffa cakes and Tesco sent a packet of 6 oranges instead.. was extremely disappointed 🙈

Ordered icing sugar - Got Betty Crocker indulgent chocolate ready made icing. Yeah Boy.

Heroes they are

I once got tiger bread as a substitute for tiger brand cat food from asda. I was laughing about it with the delivery driver who said he once had to deliver matey bubble bath as a substitute for mates condoms

These posts are usually made up and don't add up. Why bother? The supermarkets have strict criteria and it's just not left to the imagination of the picker.
