IT hitches delayed the launch by a week
Tesco's much-trumpeted online foray into non-food retail has finally gone live almost a week after IT hitches held up the launch of Tesco Direct.
The retailer was due to launch its site, selling 8,000 non-food lines spanning furniture, electricals and homewares, last Wednesday, but 'minor IT problems affecting the level of service on the web site' caused the supermarket giant to delay itsÂŁ35 million debut.
At the time, a Tesco spokeswoman said: 'We want to offer customers the best possible service, therefore we have made the decision to delay the launch.'
Although the site still displays the banner Coming Soon, a spokeswoman confirmed it is live and accessible to shoppers.
