Customers finalising their grocery shopping for the bank holiday weekend were left in the lurch when a technical glitch on Sainsbury's website foiled their plans.
Online shoppers using the grocery giant's website can usually amend their online shopping orders up to 11pm on the night before delivery, but the hitch prevented customers making any changes - just hours before the start of the Jubilee weekend. According to the Manchester Evening News, the website went down at about 9pm on Wednesday night, with a message advising customers that “essential maintenance” was taking place.
The message on the site read: “We’ll be back soon. We’re really sorry, but we can’t bring you the groceries site at the moment. We’re carrying out some essential maintenance and we’ll be back soon so please try again later.”
