‘Coles Online is becoming increasing popular with our time poor customers who love the convenience of Click&Collect and home delivery,’ a Coles spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Depending on the delivery or collection window the customer chooses, there’s usually a period of time in which they can review and modify their final order.

‘If customers receive an item they did not order or they would like to return an item, we encourage them to contact our helpful Customer Care team.’

Bianca’s video has since been viewed more than 550,000 times, with many amused shoppers sharing similar stories about their own online order fails.

‘Once I thought I’d ordered one kilo of chicken wings. I had in fact ordered one chicken wing,’ one shopper wrote.

Another said: ‘I thought I ordered a bunch of bananas I got one banana.’

One revealed: ‘Once I ordered six kilos of apples instead of six individual. I don’t even like apples, I was just going on a random health kick that week.’

While another added: ‘I ordered hot chocolate powder for work the other week. I thought they were units of one so I ordered 12… and well, 144 kilos of chocolate powder showed up.’ 

One Coles employee said she had a customer who had a similar experience.

‘This has happened when I was running Click&Collect… Customer looked through her bags while we were unpacking and turned around and said ‘I ordered fresh bananas, not lolly bananas,’ she said.

Last September, a shopper was left in stitches after Woolworths accidentally delivered her 17 kilos worth of carrots.

In her TikTok video, the customer can be heard laughing hysterically as she filmed the two large shopping bags filled to the brim with carrots.

‘Woolworths online f***ed up and sent us 17 kilos of carrots,’ the woman said in her video, before bursting out with laughter.

‘Does anyone eat carrots? What the f***.’

The woman quickly saw the funny side as she confirmed she was giving away the root vegetables to her family and friends.

‘I have some family and friends taking some off my hands,’ she said.

A Woolworths spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia at the time: ‘This is certainly a unique situation, and we’d be happy to look into it further if the customer wishes to make contact with us.

‘We’re pleased to hear they plan to share the excess carrots with family and friends. We have some good carrot cake recipes if they’re interested in a bake-off.’
