FRUSTRATED Morrisons shoppers say they've been left waiting up to an HOUR to get on the supermarket's website as it struggles with increased demand due to coronavirus.

Other customers say the website keeps crashing on them when they eventually reach the front of the digital queue.

Shoppers who've been trying to get online have been taking to social media this morning to ask the supermarket what's going on.

One customer tweeted: "Come on Morrisons, I know there's a demand but after waiting an hour in your online queue, your site crashes and another hour wait... only for the site to crash again...

"Any chance I can speak to an actual human being who can help me get supplies to my parents?"

Another shopper responded to this tweet saying: "I'm having the same issue!"

Someone else tweeted: "I have tried repeatedly to get an online delivery slot without any success.

"Now, when I queue for hours just to get on the website via the queuing system I get thrown out the moment I get in!"

Another shopper who said they've been kicked off the site tweeted: "This has happened all morning.

"My son has cystic fibrosis and I'm six months pregnant so we cannot risk a visit to shops and we keep losing our place in the huge queue."

Meanwhile, another customer said the online queue already had over 24,000 people waiting shortly after midnight, when new delivery slots are usually released.

They said: "So there are 24,754 people in a queue on Morrisons' website at 12.30 in the morning.

"Boris Johnson please suggest how I am supposed to feed my elderly mother 200 miles away who does not have aid up there!"

A message on the Morrisons website reads: "You are currently placed in a queue. We apologise for the wait.

"We are working hard to facilitate the demand and you may have to wait longer than usual to access the website."

The supermarket goes on to say that all its delivery slots are sold out, but it advises customers who are wanting to edit existing orders to wait for the website to load.

It added that it's doing "everything we can" to increase the number of delivery slots and capacity they can accommodate.
