Sainsbury's Site Collapses

Sainsbury's website went down on 17 June and is still down, it has yet to confirm when the site will be back up and running.

Sainsbury's delivers to 90,000 customers a week and their average spend is approximately £80 per transaction. Therefore the glitch is estimated to have cost it already £1M in lost sales, plus the costs of £10 compensation offered to an estimated 20,000 people affected by the problem over Wednesday and Thursday.

This is not the first time that Sainsbury's have had problems with their online delivery service, as I can personally attest to.
