Shoppers at Asda charged too much

Asda customers who shopped online this month have been overcharged for their groceries, with one claiming to have been charged nearly five times the correct amount, following a computer glitch.

A power cut at the supermarket's US servers on August 16 caused a temporary problem on the home delivery website, Asda confirmed yesterday.

A spokeswoman said because many customers order their shopping in advance, the overcharging problem first came to light this week.
