LONDON, Sept 1 (Reuters) - British online supermarket Ocado
said a "very small number" of orders were cancelled on
Tuesday, the first day it is offering products supplied by Marks
& Spencer, blaming a surge in demand for the new
service.
"The M&S launch has been incredibly popular. We have seen a
surge in demand for M&S products in the run up to launch which
has impacted a very small number of orders today," said an Ocado
spokeswoman.
"The vast majority of customers are unaffected and will be
delivered as normal. We would like to thank our customers for
giving M&S such a big welcome and sincere apologies to any
customers having to wait a bit longer.”
