Online shoppers have experienced failures because of high amounts of traffic visiting sites. Tesco was forced to apologise for making customers wait 30 seconds before they could access its Tesco Direct portal due to ‘lots of people shopping’, and Curries also experienced delays. Argos presented shoppers with a red traffic light signal instead of an Aladdin’s cave of bargains, citing a ‘very high volume in visitors’ for the failure.
In a tweeted response Argos said: “We know some of you are experiencing problems getting on to our site this #BlackFriday. Please bear with us, we hope to be with you soon.”
