Sainsbury's has fixed the "technical glitch" which knocked its ordering service offline for two days. But thousands of online shoppers will be left without their groceries until Saturday when deliveries will resume.

The supermarket chain was forced to take down its online home delivery service on Tuesday after a technical fault hit its website. Deliveries on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were cancelled. The problem left Sainsbury's unable to process customer orders, although the company has stressed that no personal details were compromised. The website is now up and running allowing customers to change existing orders or place new ones.

So instead of being lazy, people equipped with legs have had to go OUT to buy their food now?!

FYI ... i think this service is popular with those unable to leave their homes (either completetely or find it very difficult), such as disabled people and the elderly. Not only that - it also allows the possibility of relatives being able to order food for relatives who may be unable to do so for themselves... even if they live far away or possibly in another country where it may not be practical to take shopping to them every few days. Im sure some people would love to go OUT and buy their own food... sadly not everyone can. Fantastic services like this may allow some people to live in their own home (rather than being in a carehome).

Is this on Neowin because they run Windows or something?
