Has your Sainsbury's delivery not arrived? Customers may have noticed problems with online orders today (March 16).
The supermarket has said this is due to experiencing “technical issues” which are affecting some stores, the online delivery service and “ability to contact customers.”
Sainsbury's has also said because of this matter, they will “not be able to fulfil the vast majority of today's Groceries Online deliveries.”
In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, @sainsburys said: “We're experiencing technical issues affecting some stores, our Groceries Online service and our ability to contact customers. Unfortunately, we will not be able to fulfil the vast majority of today's Groceries Online deliveries. (cont...)

“We are working hard to fix the issue and apologise to our customers for the inconvenience. We will contact customers proactively to rebook orders as soon as we can.”
There have been problems with contactless payments due to an error with an overnight software update, although all stores were open as usual and chip and pin and cash transactions were working, a spokesperson told the PA news agency.

Replying to the tweet, many customers have shared their concerns.
One said: “Well thanks Sainsburys. What a disappointment. sat here like a plum since 6.55 and just seen this. I'll be off to @Tesco in that case.”
Another added: “Can someone please tell me what is happening with my order and delivery! waiting on baby formula with this order!"
This person wrote: “That’s annoying as we have a delivery pass ?”

Someone asked: “Can you confirm if our delivery will be rebooked for ASAP, or will our slot be cancelled?”
A customer posted: “Will we be able to return the items we no longer need (as they were needed for this weekend) and get a refund because we've had to go and re-buy them elsewhere? A pretty big chunk of my shopping was for events this weekend.”
Sainsbury's responded: “sorry your affected by the issues. No orders will be going out today and once the systems are fixed, your order will be cancelled. Please place a new order from Monday onwards.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
