Has anyone actually managed to get a cocking food delivery slot?

At ANY of the major supermarkets? Ocado emailed me to say as I'm an anytime pass plus customer, I would get priority booking - been stuck in a "paused" online queue since 11am this morning. Have checked every single day with all other major supermarkets and nada. Is there a secret or are there literally just no slots available.

Haven't been able to get a Morrisons slot for existing not newly signed up passholder 80+ DM for a couple of weeks now. Everytime I look yet another day is marked unavailable. No response from customer service or email to chief exec. Bunch of inept thundercunts who couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery as far as I'm concerned Angry

@Likethebattle this is the email I received:

Thank you for bearing with us.
As you know, over the last few days we have been focusing our efforts on giving our elderly and vulnerable customers access to online delivery slots. Our Careline is working flat out to give these customers priority access to delivery slots. There is far more demand for these slots than our Careline team is able to process and we are doing our best to allocate as many slots to vulnerable customers as we can every day.
While we process the high volume of calls, we have some slots available that we are not able to give to these customers. In the short term we are now offering spare slots to Delivery Pass customers. Thank you for your patience as we work through the unprecedented level of demand for online deliveries.
You can now log on as normal to book a slot. Please bear in mind that you'll be able to make a maximum of one order between now and Monday 30 March.

@RainbowMum11 our Sainsbury's have never done click and collect but they are now as I believe they are making more stores available for this facility so yours may become one again

RoyalBankOfFuckThis · 27/03/2020 21:18

I've got a tesco delivery saver, have done for years, I always book Friday slots in advance so I've had one delivered today. Got one next Friday and one Friday after.

I was letting my 2 neighbours add things to it they needed (via WhatsApp!) but now they've imposed an 80 item limit :(

FizzyPink · 27/03/2020 21:19

I’ve been trying to get a click and collect slot with Sainsbury’s and Tesco all week and there’s absolutely nothing.

Does anyone know when Gousto open their next week of slots? I seem to keep missing these as well

shinynewapple2020 · 27/03/2020 21:32

I have one for Asda I booked nearly two weeks ago , and at the time I booked that I couldn't get one for Tesco or Sainsbury's until April. Have been on this evening to update my order and every time I go to check out it comes up with another 5-6 things out of stock. I should hopefully have a couple of weeks main meals when the order comes but will still need to pop out for things like soap and loo roll.

JunoJigglewick · 27/03/2020 22:25

I got a Tesco click and collect slot today for next Saturday. We've been in isolation for 13 days so far and need fruit and veg.

My delivery has 65 items so far and I'm keen to max the 80 items to make the most of it as there haven't been any slots for ages. I've offered to friends to collect anything they need too.

BrigitsBigKnickers · 28/03/2020 00:14

Just went on the ASDA website- secured a delivery then it bloody disappeared!!! 😡

MamaGothel · 28/03/2020 00:25

I managed to get a Tesco click and collect slot when I tried at midnight but it's not until April 17th. The delivery slots for the 17th were unavailable as soon as they appeared.

weatherchannel · 28/03/2020 01:07

I checked my emails and I had one from sainsburys saying delivery slots available for pass holders. Just got one for Sunday Smile

BrigitsBigKnickers · 28/03/2020 01:08

Ooh no few more came up! Sorted! Phew!

TreacherousPissFlap · 28/03/2020 03:53

No, I gave up weeks ago as I'm still fit and able to battle my way round the supermarket.
I would however like to applaud you for the splendid use of the word "cocking" Flowers

Pishposhpashy · 28/03/2020 06:15

Tried every single supermarket at 4am. Nada.

I have managed to get an Asda delivery slot for a week on Monday somehow.

MotherOfAllNameChanges · 28/03/2020 06:31

Ocado have switched their app off 🙄

Mummy2boys87 · 28/03/2020 06:36

Does anyone have any idea what time Tesco are releasing delivered slots I'm sure they are release the next available days worth of slots at a certain time but it's not midnight

Lordfrontpaw · 28/03/2020 08:38

Are Tesco really not delivering in bags? So they are going to drop 80+ loose items in my lobby tomorrow?

MamaGothel · 28/03/2020 09:05

They weren't delivering in bags when I got my order on Wednesday but they said they are going to start- not sure when they are making the change, though

Lordfrontpaw · 28/03/2020 09:50

Oh god the neighbours will think it’s a free for all (especially him upstairs who has sticky fingers).

Sexnotgender · 28/03/2020 10:42

Just got my receipt emailed from Asda for my delivery later and 99% of my order is available. Thank the pope!
One item missing and it’s totally inconsequential.

shinynewapple2020 · 28/03/2020 13:30

Well I updated my Asda order yesterday evening for delivery this morning. As fast as I put something into my basket it went out of stock! Delivery this morning has 7 items not available and another 7 substituted but as I'd tried to order main meals for 2 weeks, not the end of the world. Mainly frozen and bread items OOS. But when I went to put it away I realised that the toilet roll which was listed on the online receipt didn't get delivered Sad

They were very efficient though, everything In bags, bought through side entrance to my back door for me.

DH went out in the week and bought us 6 bottles of wine and a very large pack of lager (I think from the local off licence) so we are well stocked up with the essentials Wink

MarshaBradyo · 28/03/2020 13:33

I have priority access to Ocado but no slots atm

Sexnotgender · 28/03/2020 13:33

Haha, I ordered a case of wine the other week. If I’m going to be stuck inside I’ll be drinking nice wine!

WhatICallMyUsername · 28/03/2020 13:55

My DH was told he wasn't allowed to buy 6 bottles of wine in Morrisons yesterday ConfusedGrin

daisypond · 28/03/2020 14:11

No alcohol to be had in our supermarket. Stripped bare.
