Asda and Tesco have apologised after furious customers accused them of cancelling Easter.
Shoppers took to social media to vent their anger after chocolate eggs they had ordered were not delivered.
Both Asda and Tesco came under fire from customers, according to the Daily Star.
One Asda shopper wrote: “Good old @asda delivery! Not delivering my elderly parents Easter Eggs despite them showing available online three days before Easter.
“Absolute garbage.”
Another said that they were “sad” about not getting their eggs.
She said: “Uni student children now eggless for Easter.”
An Asda spokesperson told the Sun: “Our customers have been preparing for Easter earlier than usual this year and we have sold more eggs than ever before.
"Unfortunately, this means that some customers’ eggs may have become out of stock by the time their delivery is made.
"We have contacted all customers who’s eggs were out of stock and hope they were able to swap this for a different egg or another one of our great Easter treats.’’
Tesco also apologised.
“We’re sorry to hear that a small number of customers did not receive an Easter egg with their online delivery," said a spokesperson.
"We have had good availability throughout the week and on the few occasions that Easter eggs were missing from orders it is because of the popularity in selected locations.”
