No idea, but I'd like to know too. I cannot even find a click and collect from ANY supermarket within a 20min drive!

QuimReaper · 28/03/2020 14:30

I've totally given up on Tesco, it's been hopeless!

Sillyscrabblegames · 28/03/2020 14:31

They aren't releasing them.
So dont waste your time!

purpleboy · 28/03/2020 14:33

It's at midnight for most of the supermarkets, but they are literally all gone by 12.10 so you have to be quick.

Ofcourse they are. They're just being snapped up but they're being released daily

No idea; I randomly checked the other day & got one for three weeks from now. My friend messaged yesterday because she managed to get one sooner but there were none showing when I looked.

We've enough to keep going a while but I'm not looking forward to walking to Lidl and trudging a week's shopping home (on foot) on my own when we do eventually need something other than milk from the local shop.

Midnight but the site does crash, just keep trying

chocolateisavegetable · 28/03/2020 21:42

Try the app - sometimes it copes better than the website

WitchitaMickey · 28/03/2020 21:46

I've been able to luckily get one twice in 2 weeks now by just randomly checking throughout the day - last week found a Sunday slot whilst checking about 4pm Saturday, and this week I've checked a few times to see if theres any for future dates and managed to find one yesterday 7pm ish for collection tomorrow. These are both click and collect however, not home delivery.

Here is proof that tesco are not releasing any slots in my area in London. Its midnight and all the slots for the day have just appeared on the list but they are all unavailable. Their is no fantasy army of shoppers who have managed to book every single slot within the period of 00:00:00 and 00:00:59.
There simply is no slot on offer.

It definitely must depend where you are. There were a full screen of slots on my app just after midnight. Most were still available until at least half past 12. Click & collect slots are still showing up

Trumpton · 29/03/2020 02:34

Set my alarm for 11.50 finally , after having to refresh the page for 30 minutes, got onto the ‘ pick your slot ‘ page . All slots gone for 3weeks away .
So disappointed.
And yes we are shopping locally as well . But I buy for 3 households , one with 2 key workers , one who is 96 years old and ours, post chemo and post op.
Just pin pointing that when we are told not to go out it’s not as simple as that .

Redglitter · 29/03/2020 03:32

All the slots here had gone by just after half past midnight. Now suddenly theres loads available again 😮

Absolutely nothing available when I looked a few mins ago.

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 29/03/2020 03:59

I'm the same as @sillyscrablegames - I log on to Tesco at 11:58ish most nights. Refresh until about 12:15 and cannot get a single slot. The only thing I've managed to find was a single click and collect spot. I check sporadically throughout the night as well and still nothing! 😩

Peppafrig · 29/03/2020 04:41

Seem to appear at 9 am on mine slots for the next two days appeared but were all Late at night times not normally available.

Myshitisreal · 29/03/2020 04:49

Gone by 1201 here

phyllidia · 29/03/2020 05:09

It is not you going mad there are no slots being released this week.

Tesco in general release slots 3 weeks ahead so latest date I can see now is April 18.

However at Easter (and Christmas) they release slots 4 weeks ahead for Delivery Saver customers.

So I booked my slot for the 17th April, not yesterday which would be 3 weeks ahead, but a week ago.

Now they are back to showing 3 weeks. However all that easter week has already been booked so you are right no slots are appearing.

Don't know their exact definition of easter week, but expect in the next few days fresh slots will start appearing.

It would have been better if they'd cancelled the Easter slot thing but guess they were focused on stocking stores.

Slipslide2020 · 29/03/2020 06:01

Ah the Easter thing makes sense, hopefully they will start appearing again. Is it still best to check at midnight?

Thismummyruns · 29/03/2020 06:08

I waited up til midnight the other night. Thought I'd check at 11.50 and they'd already all gone.

Might have to just cancel my delivery pass as I'm paying for weekly deliveries.

Kinneddar · 29/03/2020 06:14

@Slipslide2020. Check at midnight theres been loads of slots opened at midnight the past few days on my app.

planningaheadtoday · 29/03/2020 06:29

The ones released at midnight are gone by 8 seconds past. It's that fast in my area!

But lately Tesco seem to be putting blocks of extra slots out at no particular time.

I think it might be when they secure extra packers for extra shifts.

chalkyc2 · 29/03/2020 06:49

On my app the next day of the 3 Wk period appears at 11pm but there's no slots, honestly, I've literally clicked on as the day appears and they're gone. Which is fine actually I've completely given up on them - my order booked ages ago for Friday evening didn't show up due to 'store issues' so they may well let you down even if you get one!!

Lindy2 · 29/03/2020 06:55

I stayed up until midnight and managed to book a click and collect for 18th April as they released that day's slots at just gone 12.

A friend who works for Tesco said our local store had less slots than normal due to staff shortages but a whole lot of new staff had been recruited and would be ready to work in the next few days which will improve capacity.
