Morrisons supermarket had problems with online orders just before Christmas. Some customers waited more than 24 hours for their groceries after Morrisons had “systems issues” on Monday. One customer said she was waiting for £200 worth of food. Another person could not get answers about his Christmas shopping.
On December 23, many people had their deliveries canceled. There were also problems with coupons not being accepted in stores. Morrisons said they fixed the delivery issues now and apologized. They promised that customers would get 10% off in stores for the whole day.
Some customers received messages about delays early on Monday. One woman in Worcestershire did not get her delivery and felt confused. She wondered if she should spend money on groceries and then the order would arrive.
Another customer, Matthew from Northumberland, had his order canceled. He said the manager was not helpful when he called. He ended up shopping at a local store instead. Experts say Morrisons must be open about what happened and fix the problems for the future.
