Tesco Xmas delivery slots

[cocomelon23]

Tesco delivery saver Xmas slots open up at midnight tonight for those with delivery saver passes. Anyone staying up to get one?

I've never used delivery at Christmas before. What's the general rules/method?

I might but no doubt won't get what I ordered if I do.

I've only ever used Tesco, but never had any of my Christmas order missing. For specific Christmas stuff, there is a message that they guarantee you will receive it: as long as you keep it in your order. If you delete , then try to add it again, there's no guarantee.

Last year I got a lovely slot, ordered loads of stuff, then gradually things got removed from by basket so that if I had relied on Tesco, at Xmas we would have been having soup and apples. Did email them to query and was told xmassy things sell out at Xmas. Really? Did not fill me with confidence for this year!

Tonight? My message from them said Wednesday night?

One minute past midnight tonight Freda

shoot yes, my text said Wednesday, of course 0.01 is Wednesday 🙈
Yes I’ll be staying up, I do it every year. Always got my slot

I’ve always done well with my order, minimal exchanges, think the worst I had was no sprouts really so no hardship

Asda's opened nearly two weeks ago, and look fully booked!

This is my first year having home deliveries so is it a matter of putting things in the basket beforehand and then booking a slot when they go live?

I will be booking ours it tonight. We’ve done it the last 2 years and it works well.

I'm a first timer this year. Scared of doing something wrong!

Can you keep adding stuff to your list right up to nearly the day, or do I have to have my full list ready for midnight tonight and then keep everything crossed that its still available come my delivery date?

Select a few items tonight, and book your slot. You can then add & remove to that list between now and the day before delivery.

I'll be staying up for this!

My alarm is already set as I won't be able to stay awake 😂

Yes I am staying up to do this tonight. Have been using Tesco for years and never had a problem with anything major missing from my Christmas order. In fact I seem to recall that the couple of substitutes I’ve had were upgrades so all good!

I’m staying up to get the slot, going to add a couple of things then check out and do it properly tomorrow.

I'm normally in bed by 10, asleep by 11. So I've got an entire evening planned to keep me awake until midnight!

Before online delivery I spent 45 minutes in the checkout queue at the super Tesco on the A 3 and then an hour to get out of the parking lot! That truly was nightmare before Christmas!
The only issue I've ever had was a Sainsbury's Christmas delivery when I wanted to update my basket and if I had done that I would not have received a couple specific things (like the turkey crown). But my original shop was safe so didn't update.
I've bought the Good Housekeeping recommended Christmas cake from Waitrose already (and had to order it as was sold out when I went).

OMG.. you have to check out as soon as tomorrow??? I thought I'd have longer than that.

Yes I'll be staying up tonight to get my slot. Good luck everyone!

@thenightsky you check out to book the slot but you change your order up until the night before it’s delivered. I only ever stick a box of mince pies in mine and then check out and just finish the order nearer the time.

Thank you Musical I'll be staying up tonight. I'm an insomniac anyway

Oh dear... I've just thought of another daft question. Will I be allowed two shopping lists... one for the Xmas delivery and one for my next week's regular shopping?

You can have as many slots as you like thenightsky we regularly have 3 or more pre booked to come each monday. I think the only rule is 1 delivery per day.

I have already started getting in the Christmas stuff, so our 3 bird roast is safely in the freezer. I will probably try and snabble a slot first thing tomorrow.

I've had some good experiences with Tesco about Christmas apart from the time when we missed out on a roast. I ended up with a quick delivery from Iceland!

Last year I remember the site practically shut down at 1 minute past midnight, but you could still get some slots the next morning - but they fill up fast.
