Sainsbury's unable to fulfil 'vast majority' of online deliveries after suffering 'technical issues' - Sky News

Sainsbury's has said it will be unable to fulfil the "vast majority" of online deliveries today after suffering "technical issues" at some stores.

The supermarket chain said the issues were due to "an error with an overnight software update" and had affected contactless payments.

In a statement to Sky News, a spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, this means we will not be able to deliver the vast majority of today's Groceries Online orders and we are currently unable to contact customers directly, but will contact them as soon as we can to rebook orders."
