Useless website - got to wonder how they don't go out of business! I had a LOT of stuff in my cart. Then their checkout failed. They then finally accepted it wasn't just me and escalated the issue to get it fixed (although given other comments there is still an issue). Now I go and find my cart is empty (despite being logged on) and they say there is nothing they can do about it. So I'm going elsewhere and have asked them to delete my account.

Frequently Asked Questions

It seems that the website Whsmith.co.uk might be experiencing temporarily outage

If you are experiencing slow performance while using Whsmith.co.uk, it may be your internet connection. Before you call your internet provider to ask about the slow speed, make sure to clear your cache, update the app, and check for any outages first.

HTTP response status code is a 3-digit code returned by the server indicating the status of the request. The code is typically accompanied by a message that provides additional information about the response such as:
  • 2XX - Successful - Website is up & reachable.

  • 3XX - Redirect - The website is accessible, but the browser is redirected to another page.

  • 4XX - Browser Error - The requested page is not available or doesn’t exist.

  • 5XX - Server Error - There are internal errors on the server.

The status code helps developers and users to understand what’s happening with a certain request. This also serves as a guide to take appropriate actions if needed.

The HTTP response time is the amount of time it takes a website to respond to a request made by your device. It calculates how long it takes for a website to load after you click on a link or type a URL into your browser.

Aside from trying a different device, you can also check your device's software if it’s up to date by checking for available updates in your settings.

If the issue persists after trying all of our tips, you can report the issue to us so we can further investigate. By this, you can also see if other users are experiencing it, too.
