Shoppers are deserting sales after complaining that bargains have run out at some of Britain's biggest retailers. Hundreds of bargain-hunters have fumed on social media about cut-price items selling out at John Lewis, M&S, House of Fraser, Selfridges, Debenhams and Zara. They were also left frustrated when the Asos website and mobile apps suffered a technical meltdown yesterday and were unable to handle orders for several hours. This comes after a disappointing 12.4 per cent sale slump on Boxing Day which saw a million fewer shoppers turn out compared to last year after more than a month of heavy promotions.
