Does anyone know when Tesco and Asda are releasing their delivery slots for Christmas week? I think Sainsburys are this Tuesday.

Thanks!

Is it not the 1st December? I'm sure I read that in an email

Don't know if different areas might come on at different times. I'm in Lincolnshire and get my delivery from the Skegness store. I went on 'Book slot' and it's showing 2 new delivery tabs for 12-18 and 19-25 Dec. I've successfully booked 23 Dec (Fri), so if you can't see these slots at a the mo, it might be coming on line for you shortly. Sorry for duff-gen if the slots are not activated across the country.

none up here yet. Debating just booking for the 19th as last year, despite getting up at 6am the day they were released, I missed every slot. I mean seriously ho is up before that doing shopping!? I was only up because DH got up for work, and I can understand up with the baby but enough people to book out every single slot?!

Thank you MarksPA! Been waiting to get my Tesco Christmas delivery booked up. All dates up to Christmas available in central belt Scotland.

I think they release the slots early for customers who order regularly, that's why the slots are taken up already when they go on general release.

I've just spent 10 minutes in s storm of indecision, because I couldn't decide whether I wanted the 21st or 22nd Grin.

Ah, I book weekly but probably don't spend enough to get priority on the slots. Stupid supermarket :(

I have to admit I stayed up until midnight one night in October when they realised slots to the Ocado delivery pass customers Blush.

In my defence I really needed a early slot on Christmas Eve to fit around other commitments.

I got an email today offering me a priority slot with tesco Smile so shopping is coming 23rd, yay!

I do order every week but only around the £50 mark Mrs Twinks, so I odnt think you have to be a big spender. I've never been given one of these slots beofre so was very pleased LOL.

Do you trust them? I once ordered ocado for food for a Christmas party going on a few say before Xmas and they emailed day before to say they wouldn't be able to fulfil the order. Needless to say I've not used them since. I use tesco now - so far so good except more substitutions or out of stocks.

i've just ordered with waitrose, as i was sick of being treated as a second class citizen by ocado just because i dont want a delivery pass. took a bit longer as new to the site, but has added bonus of no delivery charge.
