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

Like another poster, I ordered nappies, only they delivered newborn size - not very good for a 2 year old toddler

I ordered a poppy seed loaf and was sent a bag of poppy seeds! The funniest thing was how Customer Services defended this sub. Oh yes I'm sure my kids would like a sprinkle of poppy seeds for lunch instead of a sandwich! :eek:

I ordered sausage rolls and got fresh sausages - not much good for lunch boxes!

I get some strange things from Asda - ordered two salmon fillets and got a huge bag of smoked haddock - it wasn't even classed as a substitute and it cost me a fortune! I sent it back. The following delivery I didn't order any fish yet they sent another huge bag of smoked haddock, not on my invoice so I kept it and thoroughly enjoyed it! lol

The wife ordered some Tampax, the substitute was Twix bars.

Think of the mess :rotfl:

I ordered with Asda (my first home delivery Asda shop) two advent calendars.
One for my daughter, which was fine, and ordered Simpsons for my 12 year old son. Unfortunately he got Mr Men!!!!! not impressed with that in his bedroom when his mates come round!!!!

Yes, they charge your card for the substitute and if you don't want it, refund it after they take it back. I wonder why they keep substituting for higher cost items? :cool:

My weird subs are a pack of 200 cigs instead of one pack of 10 (see above for explanation!) and some fish instead of a leg of lamb. Bizarre (but not as good as the twix/tampax sub hehe)

I have had a bag of ice cubes instead of an iceburg lettuce from Asda
