The dozen-or-so links I clicked on the following page all redirected to Network Solutions, not an archived version of the e-tailer in question. Removed, for now.

The article says: For example Sainsbury's took on similar project in London only to close it down few years later.

Is it talking about Sainsbury's to you? If so it is wrong, because that service is still running. I'll remove this if nobody objects. Edward 13:00, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)

Maybe. What I know there was large warehouse built just for the purpose of online delivery and its capacity was underused (~10%) and this warehouse was at the end shut down. I wrote some SW for it. I do not have link on press release (it it exists) but got email notification (with snide remark inside about the costliest museum ever built). I guess the webpage above is smaller scale leftover. Maybe the sentence could be soften. Pavel Vozenilek 21:02, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
