That depends on what you mean by "delayed". :)
They built the site in an incredibly short time span but they got started too late and it had way too many features to cram in to such a short development time of course leading to plenty of bugs at release time.
The entire company didn't exist for much longer than a year so they almost didn't even have time to be delayed before they were gone. :)
From Wikipedia:
"Boo.com's Swedish founders famously spent their way through £125 million ($188 million) in just six months."

Aaah, 1999. Those were the days. :)
