Guess what Tesco.com thought would be a suitable substitution for the bottle of Jacob's Creek Chardonnay I ordered last night?

Boggers.

I once had a Christmas cake in place of eggs - I suppose they assumed that was what I was going to use the eggs for

Also I once ordered some New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine, and they said they were unable to find a substitution, so delivered none! I find it hard to believe that they couldn't find another bottle of white wine in the whole store....

Christiana - Kettle Chips?

I once got a lemon meringue pie instead of a lemon. I like lemon meringue pie but it's not very nice on fish.

Likewise SoMuchToBits - instead of a box of Cadbury's Heroes I once got.... nothing!

If you need chocolate/wine then you're not going to be picky, they could at least have grabbed something...

who was it on here that ordered a pregnancy test, but had it substituted for....

....a box of condoms

and there was someone else on here too wasn't there, who ordered a packet of mixed nuts and got... Nuts magazine.

this thread is hilarious

I've had lemons instead of lemonade ...... like, I should make my own and was being lazy or something, notwithstanding the doubtful fact that there wasn't a single bottle of lemonade (or indeed Sprite or 7Up) in the whole store.

am rofl reading this thread!

we have had salad cream in stead of saturday paper. failed to see the connection there as well...

sausages has to win that one i reckon!!!

these are awful. we ought to make a proper list and send them to tesco and ask what's going on

I must get more organised - hadn't realised I was missing out on such entertainment!

Sausage rolls instead of loo rolls!

Try wiping your arse with one of those...

Click the no substitutions button. Seriously. The software gets a bit incredulous ("You have clicked the no substitutions button. Are you really really sure about this?") but it'll accept it in the end.

Quattrocento - I did this once - the no-substitutions thing. I ended up with four items from my shopping list arriving. Clearly my shopping was very esoteric and hard to find

I'm more shocked they refunded the delivery charge.

Ocado once delivered six bottles of wine to me by mistake and when I queried it, told me to keep them. Perhaps one of them was the OPs?

why on earth do you lot still use tesco? lol

4 items out of your whole shopping is appalling.

I have only used them twice - in extremis when Ocado couldn't do it.

There were 35 items on my list and they managed four. FOUR FFS!

One of which was squashed by the other three.

These are fab

I've had a proper giggle over these! I once didn't get any of the meat or fish I'd ordered, but did get a bag of four loose oranges. Militant vegetarian packer perhaps?

I ordered a pack of sunflower seeds (to snack on) and they replaced them with a box of budgie treats.

No amusing ones happened to me personally, but I was chatting to the delivery man about this kind of thing a while back. His most amusing example was that a middle-aged lady who had requested a pack of peanuts had them replaced with a copy of "Nuts" magazine.
