Lucky enough to have a Tesco delivery tomorrow. Will it have anything on it?
user1471530109 · 21/03/2020 14:57
As the title says. I'm worried it's going to turn up with nothing on it. Online it says they will not be doing substitutions.
From the news it looks like stores are empty? We are self isolating so I'm panicking a little. We are definitely going to be in trouble without it.
Anyone had a delivery in the last 24 hours?

I had mine yesterday and there were a lot of substitutions and a lot on items out of stock. I had about 50% of my order. Not what you wanted to hear, sorry.
Sanblasamor · 21/03/2020 15:04
I had one on Tuesday from them with only pasta and rice missing, things have progressed since then though I guess.
Thesearmsofmine · 21/03/2020 15:05
I have one tomorrow too(but it’s with Asda). Dreading it tbh
bokkleorandoove · 21/03/2020 15:06
Got mine this morning. Quite a lot was there. I would say about 10% was substitutes and they were almost like for like so no complaints. Few things didn’t arrive like toilet roll, bathroom cleaner and fabric softener.
LittleBoyJuly2020 · 21/03/2020 15:06
I had an Asda one this morning. Spent £50 and got around £14 worth of shopping. Dire
LolaLollypop · 21/03/2020 15:07
About 50% of my order wasn't available. Also had a few items that should have been tbere and weren't (meats).
Also no loo rolls!!!
Karwomannghia · 21/03/2020 15:08
Ours didn’t have loo roll, soap, pasta, tinned tomatoes, flour or lager.
Did have bread, milk eggs butter fruit veg pasta readymeal/packet pasta, micro rice and Washington up liquid.
RoseDog · 21/03/2020 15:09
I had an Asda delivery yesterday 14 items missing and 7 subbed, no meat at all, no milk and fruit missing including lemons 🤷♀️ who is stockpiling lemons??
goose1964 · 21/03/2020 15:10
Tesco yesterday, we were only missing meat , and our carrots were subbed for better ones, bread and bleach were fine.
orangedasies · 21/03/2020 15:10
I edited mine the evening before and it had all of the things that were out of stock so I just changed it before the cut off point. There were about 8 things that were unavailable that I changed and about 6 swaps when I picked it up but all for reasonable things.
ItchyScratch · 21/03/2020 15:10
Got one this morning and it was everything I ordered except for a different white bread and no pasta (a £60 shop in all)
Karwomannghia · 21/03/2020 15:10
Also no mushrooms or Quorn I’d ordered for a friend. And the choices were narrow to start with.
Myshinynewname · 21/03/2020 15:15
I checked mine the night before and replaced as much as I could of the items that weren't available. When it arrived it still had almost 40% missing.
Our driver mentioned that he had delivered only two jars of bolognese sauce to somebody that morning; they had ordered around £60 worth of shopping but had ticked the box for no substitutions, so don't do that!
UpToonGirl · 21/03/2020 15:16
We got about 70% of our shop on Thursday. I would log on tonight before the cut off, check your basket and see if you can swap anything showing as not available. I did this and think I would have been down to about 30/40% if I hadn't! They aren't doing any substitutions.
Permenantlyexhaustedpidgeon · 21/03/2020 15:17
I’ve ordered amazon prime groceries - about half missing, have got bread but it was a substitute. No meat. Lots of veg / fruit still there though. Also put some antibacterial hand wipes in and they were there! Didn’t attempt loo roll as already had some in. It made me a bit panicky to be honest, I was okay until I saw how much was missing!
Redda · 21/03/2020 15:22
I had my Tesco shop yesterday, everything available apart from table salt, Stella, spring onions, chilli sauce and a couple of yoghurts, my Tesco own brand toilet rolls were substituted for Andrex!!
LER83 · 21/03/2020 15:22
I've just had a tesco one at 2pm. Only 2 things missing, eggs & cheddar cheese. About 5 subs but they were actually better then what I'd ordered. Got bread & milk and a bleach. Hadn't ordered any cleaning stuff, meat or toilet roll tho so don't know what the situation is like with them. Was really impressed with how much I got as place was empty yesterday!
MidnightVelvet9 · 21/03/2020 15:22
My online shop today has been cancelled, got a text from Tesco saying sorry but due to store issues we've cancelled your order.
JPduck · 21/03/2020 15:23
Had mine this morning. I got pretty much everything even toilet roll!
Jellyshoeshurtmyfeet · 21/03/2020 15:23
Sainsbury's this morning, no baked beans, pasta, flour. Got all the fresh fruit and veg though. Subs were mostly cat food and treats. All in all I think i got 90%
AlCalavicci · 21/03/2020 15:24
I have a deliver due tomorrow too , I checked my list last night about 10 items were not available with no subs recommend and about 6 or 8 that I could sub . So I reckon with a bit of luck I will get about 75% of what I want .
user1471530109 · 21/03/2020 15:25
Thanks. So not great then?
I've ordered meat for Sunday dinner as a treat for me and the DC.
The toilet rolls are still showing as in 
when I log in now.
The DC have not stopped eating all week-boredom I suspect. We will have nothing left! We've been rationing treats.
I've not left the house. 8 days in now. I despair of what appears to be everyone carrying on as normal. I can't get another slot at all so I'm not sure what I will do if half of it is missing.
Ordered Easter eggs to keep the girls happy and guessing no one is stockpiling them?
jay55 · 21/03/2020 15:25
I had a Waitrose delivery yesterday, it had 1/3 not available and no subs, 1/3 subs, 1/3 as ordered. Almost all offers were cancelled after I'd placed the order too.
user1471530109 · 21/03/2020 15:26
OMG Midnight ! Really? Did they not offer to deliver at a different time?! That's my worst nightmare
