Waitrose Christmas delivery

[bert3400]

So just been on to book a Christmas slots went live at midnight tonight . At 12.00 they had all gone ....how can this be ? Have I missed something? Is there a way of pre booking before they are released ?

I have just got the last one for my area. 20th December though.

They give priority to 'regularly customers. I spend about £600 per month with them over fortnightly deliveries but didn't qualify.
My DM spends only about £200 but has a weekly delivery slot and qualified for priority and got her Christmas eve slot last Thursday

Same thing happened to me. Didn't realise they give priority to certain customers.

If you are a loyal customer that's understandable they give them priority, I did manage to get a click and collect so happy with that.

£600 per month?! Please share your list!

I managed to get 21 December and was disappointed but reading your message I'm now feeling quite appreciative.

I managed 22nd December. Thanks for the heads up OP, I would have likely checked tomorrow afternoon and missed getting a slot all together.

I went to book mine on Saturday (when they released) and at 7am they had all gone bar 21st. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are Waitrose priority customers - but priority is based on medical and other needs for home deliveries (large numbers of immunosuppressed and other people still can't safely go inside shops) rather than amount spent.
