Supermarket’s website and app go offline as customers save more than $100 on some 24-packs
The Coles website and app have gone offline hours after a viral Reddit post highlighting a nearly 80% discount on 24-packs of premixed alcoholic drinks.
For several hours on Saturday, both the Coles website and app displayed a message advising they “we’re currently offline – but not for long”. The website and app came back online before the website went down again on Saturday afternoon. It was still offline at 3.30pm AEST on Saturday.
