RETAIL experts have urged shoppers to hit the high street to secure their Christmas presents, after a host of leading UK retailers suspended online orders as they struggle to cope with a delivery backlog from last week's weather chaos.
Major shopping centres said the problems facing their online competitors was a "dream come true", and they expected "unprecedented" levels of trade this weekend.
Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer were the most high-profile chains to cancel new orders or halt deliveries of non-food items earlier this week in Scotland, as courier firms try to move tens of thousands of parcels that piled up due to the disruption caused to the transport network by heavy snow and icy roads.
