Ocado Christmas slots have been released

[SpringCalling]

The countdown is on!

I don’t think it’s all on area, maybe loyalty/ length of smart pass membership? Someone I know lives 0.9 miles away and has had their slot since Tuesday. I’ve not got mine yet or even had the email! 😱

I received a text message Wednesday just as I was headed into a meeting so I panic booked a slot with my current basket. When I returned home I changed the slot to one that better suits us. I’ll no doubt be rejigging the basket until the last minute.

Got my email from Ocado yesterday to say the slots will be available today. Just booked for the 22nd as only the very late night slots left for the 23rd. At least it will give me a chance to walk to the local shops for any essential missing items...

Had email yesterday to say mine would be released today together with voucher code for free delivery. Forgot and saw this email so went back and sorted for 8am Christmas Eve.

Got mine this morning - 7pm on the 23rd

I’m actually quite annoyed. I waited up to book my slot and the only date they had available was 20 December!

I know this is small in comparison to some people’s problems but I’m properly peeved about this! Surely they can’t all have sold out!

Has anyone booked a slot with Waitrose who doesn’t have a delivery/priority pass ?

Yes. They sent out an email saying their slots were open

Waitrose won't let me book a lot for October let alone December - it just says come back tomorrow....

I find ocado confusing - already I can't get yoghurt for the 23rd of December because they're out of stock. Does that mean they don't offer that kind of yoghurt any more????

First world problems or what...

Still not able to book past October either. I emailed them and they said it’s an IT problem they are aware of

@667TheNeighbourOfTheBeast I emailed them and they said that Xmas slots hadn't been opened up yet.

Doesn't explain why there aren't any slots in October though... 🙄

I got mine on Monday morning 👍😁

I only just managed to book for 22nd December today. I’m in south/south west.

I’ve had an email today to say slots open tomorrow - South East

Have both Waitrose and Ocado booked for 11-12 on Christmas Eve. I prefer the meat at Waitrose. Wonder if they will turn up at exactly the same time?

Do Ocado slots go live at midnight?

Forget everything positive I said about Ocado - clicked on booking on the dot of midnight and the closest to Christmas I could get was Wednesday 21st 😡

Same here! 21st! We've had smart pass for years and years. It's a joke.

I could only get the 20th December!
