Shoppers have taken to social media to share their anger after their Christmas shopping was delivered - without vital elements of the dinner.
Dozens of people have messaged supermarket giants Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's over delivery blunders.
Several don't have a turkey and others have reported that half their digital baskets were 'wiped' and only a few ordered items arrived.
Some say they booked their delivery slots weeks ago - only to be told today (Dec 23) that their turkey was being substituted for a crown or drumsticks. Another said they had been given gammon instead of a turkey
So @asda are sending a gammon instead of a turkey? 🙃

On twitter, all three big supermarkets have apologised individually to customers and have said they are working hard to ensure deliveries are made on time and as expected.
Did you order online and not receive items you'd bought? We want to hear from you! Comment below.
Hard to get crispy skin on a non existent turkey Asda! And you still have my money! pic.twitter.com/8WThGDiBlN

Disappointed in @Tesco today. Booked my order weeks ago, arrived today, no turkey, no substitution!

Well done @Tesco

We do the Christmas shop online to avoid the traffic and you fail to delivery the turkey. That's a BIG fail.
Now we need to try and find one.
1. Pre-oder a turkey crown with Sainsbury's because then you'll get what you want, right? Nope! Get an email saying it's out of stock and to change it. Change it for another turkey crown and on the morning of delivery get another email ....
