Primark website crashes as new click and collect service causes shopper frenzy

Primark's new long-awaited online shopping service proved so popular with shoppers when it launched this morning that the retail giant's website crashed.

The high street favourite has finally made click and collect available for customers, meaning that Primark fans can now browse online for items and arrange to pick them up in their nearest store. The trial is currently running at 25 UK stores across North Wales and the North West of England, including shops in Manchester, Liverpool and Carlisle.

Only children's clothing, toys and nursery ranges are available on the service so far, totalling around 2,000 products - 800 of which are availably exclusively via click and collect. It's hoped that the service will be rolled out nationwide following the trial - and it has already proven hugely popular with shoppers, The Mirror reports.
