Booked 23rd.
Opted for late on 24th last year and spent the whole day panicking that they wouldn't be able to deliver everything & shops would be shut!

Yes, booked mine at 1.30am.

RhubarbTree · 28/09/2022 19:11

Thanks for the tip! That’s mine booked - can’t wait

lissie123 · 28/09/2022 19:11

Where are the slots for Christmas at Waitrose? I can’t see them?

DobbyTheHouseElk · 28/09/2022 19:21

they never let me have a Christmas slot.

I'm not an Ocado smart pass holder and I got my message last night 🤗

LBOCS2 · 28/09/2022 20:35

I'm an Ocado smart pass holder (despite having rung them to cancel it about 4 months ago) and I haven't had the slots for Christmas yet. If they've failed to cancel my smart pass and I don't get the benefit of early booking for Christmas, I'm going to be very unhappy!

Nordicmom · 28/09/2022 20:40

I’m not a smart pas holder but we’ve had a weekly delivery since my son was less than 1 so about 16 y . Probably should be a smart pass holder …

KenAdams · 28/09/2022 20:43

How are people booking Waitrose slots? I can't see them?

Pineappleamy · 28/09/2022 20:57

Thank you for the PSA!!

Waitrose slots were just there to the PPs who asked. I hadn't received a notification.

LittleRen · 28/09/2022 21:53

Got one… tons left for me. So pleased as last year I got a crappy slot as I didn’t wait up until midnight.. after years of £150 weekly orders it was a real kick!

gillybean2 · 28/09/2022 22:24

Whew, got my Waitrose slot booked for the 23rd. Won’t be bothering with Ocado again this year based on the past 2 years nothing available Christmas wise til the last second and much higher minimum charge and cancellation fee.

Anjo2011 · 28/09/2022 22:28

Just booked my Waitrose one too, thanks for the tip off. I have a weekly delivery and last year they emailed to say I could book but I haven’t had a message this year.

667TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 28/09/2022 22:38

I’ve only been able to see up to October on Waitrose

There’s a separate Christmas slot option when you select place an order. On the website at any rate. That’s where I found it.

gillybean2 · 28/09/2022 22:52

Waitrose Christmas slot available here (if picture will upload)

OhFFS! · 28/09/2022 22:53

Have booked my Waitrose and Ocado slots....can relax now

gillybean2 · 28/09/2022 22:54

Try again

Ocado Christmas slots have been released
spongedog · 28/09/2022 23:05

Sadly neither for Ocado or Waitrose. Thats the South East for you!

Florelei · 29/09/2022 08:55

No Ocado Christmas slots for us yet. North East..

FlipFlops4Me · 29/09/2022 10:14

Got mine yesterday evening so I just repeated last year's order and checked it out straightaway for speed and to make sure I got the slot I wanted. Today I've gone in and done a bit of picking and choosing on the order and no doubt I'll do loads more before the delivery.

I'm just relieved it's done!

I’m in South West and I couldn’t see any on Waitrose, there wasn’t the facility to book past end Oct. I rang Waitrose and they said there is a fault that’s preventing the Christmas slots from showing and they are aware of it.

Florelei · 29/09/2022 18:04

Just received a message advising xmas slots will be released tomorrow in my area.

slavetothekittens · 29/09/2022 18:23

No Xmas Ocado slots here yet...North West.

London - they're up!
