Shoppers fury as Tesco cancels THOUSANDS of grocery deliveries due to computer glitch
Some shoppers have had deliveries axed just half an hour before they were due to turn up
TESCO has cancelled thousands of grocery deliveries across the country due to a computer glitch.
Some shoppers have had deliveries axed just half an hour before they were due to turn up.
Tesco said that it expects to return to normal service tomorrow and that customer's affected by the glitch have been contacted to rearrange their deliveries.
It is understood that around ten per cent of orders have been affected by today's error.
Customers affected by the glitch have been sharing their fury on social media.

One said on Twitter: "Appalling service from @Tesco this morning...delivery canx [cancelled] with 30 mins notice, then I have to call HQ to rearrange!! What a joke.";
A second unhappy shopper said: "My delivery was cancelled due to 'nationwide system issues overnight'".
Another said: "Ordered a @Tesco delivery for all my Glastonbury needs where I'm going tomorrow and they've just CANCELLED my order! Help!".
A Tesco spokesman said: “We experienced an IT issue earlier today which affected some Grocery Home Shopping orders.
"We’ve worked hard to fix this problem and expect the service to return to normal tomorrow. We’d like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
Earlier this year Tesco angered customers when it increased the price of click-and-collect orders by £2.
Previously shoppers were able to pick up groceries for free but they are now charged between £2 and £4 for same day collection.
Tesco's isn't the only supermarket to suffer delivery problems.
In the run up to last Christmas customers of Ocado blasted the firm for missing crucial items from festive deliveries.
