Has anyone managed to book a Sainsburys Christmas delivery slot?

[ForTheLoveOfFaff]

If so, how?!?

The slots have apparently been released for delivery pass holders, but when I go into the website I can't actually see where to pick a slot. If I go onto the "book a slot" page as usual, it's still only showing the next two weeks. Where do you find the Christmas slots? TIA!

Ah thanks, Twigaletta. It looks as though the first ones will be released tomorrow then. Not today.

Nope from 29th

Christmas slots are now available for delivery pass holders. See link above for further details.

Wonder if any of you can help with this query please. We get a Sainsbury's delivery once a week generally on a Sunday. You can only have one 'live' booking at a time. Is a Christmas slot in addition to this, or if I book it on 2 Dec can I not have any deliveries between then and the Christmas one? We aren't pass holders.

If the latter is true I'll have to do click and collect for one or two but all our freezer stuff defrosts on the way as we're 40 minutes away. Hoping it's additional.

Hi Seaglad, I think it let’s you book a Christmas slot in addition to any you already have booked. I’m a delivery pass holder and I already have normal slot booked for two weeks time. I logged on a bit before midnight last night hoping to book a slot for Sunday 20 December. I refreshed the page at midnight and a tab for the 14-20 Dec came up after the two current weeks. When I first clicked on it I was alarmed that it looked like all the slots had already gone. So I went and looked at click and collect. But, I checked delivery again at about twenty past midnight and all the slots were there and available for the 20th. So I’d say if you’re logging on at midnight, keep checking between midnight and half past. Hopefully someone who hasn’t a pass will be able to confirm whether this is the case for them too Seaglad.

Thanks @Pause - not live for us until next week so shall try then.

Nope from 29th

I could book up to the 20th Dec this morning. It was on the app and I could just book it in the usual way. Email said I’d be able to book for 21st from tomorrow and so on.

I'm not sure what means but the link I posted said you could book a slot from 29th November for delivery on 20th December. If the website is allowing other bookings then the information on the website is wrong.

@Twigaletta The website is allowing bookings from yesterday for the 20th dec, from today for the 21st dec, etc.

I thought you were joking and saying that the slots were open from the 29th so that you could bag one first

If you want a Christmas week slot then check this week - don't wait until the 29th or you might miss them!

I’ve got one booked for the 21st of December. Booked with no problems either - not much help, I’m afraid.

I've got the 20th booked. If you have a delivery saver pass and you can't see the Christmas slots try another browser or the app as the whole thing is pretty flaky with cookie issues and cache issues.

Also try turning off adblock for that site. That can mess things up.

Seaglad you can have several orders booked at once. They all allow this.

Booked for 21st December

Just to be clear you check out your order. Then book and checkout another and another.

Then go back and amend them as often as you like up to (usually) the day before they deliver (it says when the last time is that you can amend it)

Not got a delivery saver pass. I can only book up to 8th Dec on website or app🤔

If you’ve not got a pass Christmas slots aren’t available yet

Booked for 21st. Ideally would have preferred 22nd as we're (hopefully) travelling home on 21st but I guess you have to set an alarm for midnight to get one. I'm not up to that in my post cold/sinus infected state !

Can't get one.

What a joke. Trying to book a slot.. on the app it says they're available now, on the mobile website it says from 29th! No delivery slots are showing after 8th December.

I booked one for the 21st, yesterday morning. They should have released the 22nd, this morning.

I think there be some issues.

I was up at midnight last night so had a look at 1 minute passed and showed 22nd all slots as unavailable. I thought blindly they went really quick!

But for some reason I decided to check again about 20 mins later and all slots on the 22nd were available. I just checked now and I can still see all slots as available (even though I booked my 22nd one).

I would suggest to keep checking and clearing cache and cookies!

I can only ever see slots up.to a week ahead. I checked on the site re: Christmas delivery - it says from 29th November.

That's my problem too. Why have 2 different ways and unclear communication?
