What's the strangest "substitute" item you've been offered on your home delivery?

I ordered a 10-pack of condoms. They delivered two rubber gloves and a pair of scissors.

Oh my gosh, I can't breathe!
That's so funny!

Sounds like Waitrose have got their act together lolarentt - though at the prices they charge I would hope the cucumbers WERE free! I suppose you really do get what you pay for and I'm shopping at the 'budget' end with Tesco perhaps I should lower my expectations!

Well the cucumber was only supposed to cost £1.24 which I thought was OK by today's cuke prices anyway - of course FOC was an unexpected bonus!

I use Asda and get very good service and few substitutions ones I have had have been more expensive products discounted to ordered product price. The only one i sent back was Coffee beans which should have been instant coffee wouldn't have minded but they didn't send a grinder.

Either the rubber gloves/condoms is made up or there is a comedian in a store somewhere! My friend ordered some cooking foil (to cover the xmas turkey) but got foil wrapped tea bags instead.

This thread is making me want to do an Asda online shop to see what I get! Hehe. Though a lot of what I buy is lettuce etc for my guinea pigs... and I suspect after reading this that it will either turn up near the end of its use-by date, or as a leg of lamb?

I got a gala melon I hadn't ordered. Turns out loads of people were getting them - the driver said the computer had screwed up and was substituting them for the delivery charge.

Fine by me... Delivery charge was £5, the melon was about £3.

I once ordered a Marie Claire magazine from Tesco and got a magazine aimed at 8 year old girls. It had lots of info on how to groom your pony and how to have the perfect pajama party, But not much use to a 27 year old woman!
