Shoppers’ anger as Sainsbury’s, Smyths and Morrisons’ pre-Christmas toy sales sell out immediately leaving nothing left

SHOPPERS hoping to nab Christmas bargains in Sainsbury’s, Smyths and Morrisons’ toy sales have been left furious over “half-empty shelves” and poor stock.

Some angry customers have taken to social media to vent their fury, saying they’ve been left unable to get the toys they wanted.

All three toy sales went live this week, promising up to half price off and buy one get one free deals.

The Sainsbury’s sale includes popular brands like Hot Wheels, Hatchimal and Playmobil, while Morrisons boasts Lego and Baby Born.

Smyths’ shoppers can buy cut-price toys including Fisher-Price and Barbie.

But some customers say they've walked out of stores empty handed and expressed their disappointment online.

Writing to Sainsbury's on Facebook, one shopper said: "Nothing in Rayleigh in Essex shelves empty."

Another said: "I didn’t get what I want. Seen it on pictures but didn’t have them at my local store."

Someone else posted: "Shelves are half empty already!"

While on Morrisons' Facebook, one customer posted: "Dundee selection is poor last year there was loads this year there is only about five items."

Someone else said: "Four items in the Worthing branch. Very little advertising despite raising it with someone via messenger on the Morrison page and them saying it was now active... clearly some stores are not doing it fully."

Another person posted: "There was nothing in Belper store I went yesterday";

On Smyths' social media, a customer said: "Been today and I don’t think there was much in the sale."

Another posted: "I was on the website at half one this morning looking, it’s only a few items."

We've contacted Sainsbury's and Morrisons regarding the tweets and we'll update this article if we hear back.

Smyths Toys said: "We are currently running our half price sale in-store and online while stock lasts on selected lines."
