Sainsbury's Xmas delivery slots

Hi, is anyone eligible for a Christmas delivery slot but can't actually see the slots available in the app yet? The home page just says 'coming soon' with the dates you can book, some of which have passed!

Don't want to miss the boat.

I can’t see how to book them either. I can book for about 12 days ahead, that’s all.

Hmmm, rubbish. I wonder if they've just not got their act together yet.

I booked mine two days ago. Just go to book a slot and skip past the next two weeks and the week before Xmas will be the next along . If there's any left! Between Xmas and New year generally is a PITA as previously I've had to wait til mid December for those.

Interested in this thread?

Christmas delivery at Sainsbury’s is still not available for me, but I’ll keep looking after reading the comments above.

It doesn’t show in the photo, but the “4 days >” button is very light grey and not clickable. Yet.

Thanks OP, had added the date the slots went live to my calendar then not checked the calendar 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just booked a saver slot for 23rd evening as we only have a midweek pass but are away Mon-Fri. Does anyone know if subs are more likely on evening deliveries as shelves are emptier by the time it gets picked? I hope not!

Have never thought of it that way but you may be right...I always book a 9am slot, mainly because I had many months of Tesco turning up hours late for evening slots and me ending up having nothing to cook. Fortunately Sainsbury's have been better.

I think most of Sainsbury's are done very early, other than the same day delivery slots.

I'll have to check my account, I'm not overly bothered when I have it though.

Just been on and booked mine, just for the Wednesday as I'm not bothered about having one as close as possible.

I remember when they didn't release them early as a batch like this but would just release them daily three weeks before like the usual slots, I would book a slot for a week before and then move it each morning until I got the slot I wanted.

Show quote history

We usually get a morning delivery but when I forget to book it and have to get a later one it definitely doesn't get picked at the crack of dawn as don't get the receipt/dreaded subs email until later. We're at Center Parcs and seriously considering leaving on the Thursday evening instead so I can have a Friday morning slot 😬
