Share your ridiculous online shop subs

[bonkersbirdie]

My Christmas food delivery arrived today. I had 9 substitutions which varied from fairly sensible to wildly bizarre.

Including (but not limited to):
A family size Christmas pud replaced by a single individual Christmas pudding.

Brandy cream replaced with squirty cream

Baileys cheesecake replaced with wagon wheels.

And not a sub but the roast chicken we ordered for Christmas dinner goes out of date tomorrow and our freezer is full.

So we are off to the shops this evening to try and get the bits we need.

What's the weirdest thing they've sent you?

Profiteroles (granted they were frozen GF ones) were subbed for dairy free ice cream. I don’t even really eat ice cream in the summer, I certainly don’t want it for pudding on Xmas day.

Heinz tomato ketchup subbed for Heinz tomato soup… not great for kids sausages 🙄

A big tub of Quality Street on special offer for a regular sized tub for the same price. Erm…what the fuck is that about??? Two tubs I would have accepted

Ground cinnamon not available so they sent hound dried onion powder instead. Would have been some interesting cookies!

I've posted this before - ordered an avocado, got two spiral-bound notebooks.

The other day I had honey roast ham (packet stuff) that was instead of the Honey Nut Loops I'd ordered......

I got Mascapone last year instead of Camembert.

Luckily our order arrived yesterday and everything arrived. We've had some substitutions over the years, but nothing really too strange

DD ordered a hairbrush. Got a toilet brush.

Now that is shit

Dog food as a sub for cat food!
When I was studying I did the picking for Tesco, a guy who started at the same time as me got a warning for this...
Condoms ordered, they didn't have any in the make requested so he subbed it for a pregnancy test. He thought he was funny!

Not mine but one I read was tampons substituted with a Twix.

Another I remember is spring onions replaced with daffodil bulbs!

Did they at least have a picture of an avocado on?

Not mine but I once read about someone who ordered a net of lemons and got a bottle of lemon scented washing up liquid.

A few years ago I ordered Paul Hollywoods Bread book. It was subbed with a loaf of bread.......

Was pleased to see Waitrose had almond croissants so ordered them for Xmas breakfast. Subbed by pack of mini Xmas crackers. Crackers didn't actually turn up (but they have charged me for them).

Last year my After Eights were subbed for Trebor Extra Strong Mints.

I remember reading about someone who ordered a haggis but ended up with a shortbread ( well they are both Scottish! )

Last week I ordered black shoe laces and was sent Lindt chocolates - very nice of them but didn't understand that!

Cheese instead of butter..

Veggie Indian ready meal got replaced with chicken dippers once.

Haha amazing. Saves you reading it I suppose

Got garlic mushrooms instead of the cocktail sausages I ordered 🤷🏻‍♀️

The best one I have ever had been was when I ordered a cucumber and the substituted it for….. a pack of vegetarian mince.

Well until today when only 1/3rd of my Christmas shop turned up, with no explanation, they just refunded me the rest of the shop, 🤦🏽‍♀️
