How far in advance did people book their shopping delivery slots?

My local tesco has had the slots all booked up for the last week and I now have to join the scrum for a turkey.

About 4 weeks - last ocado slots

I'm feeling jealous of the fab shopping list posted on another thread and also stupid for not thinking to book a slot sooner.

Booked mine on the 2nd Dec. Delivered today. And with no substitutions.
Only problem is that the chocolate trifles have tomorrows date on(eat by 21st)! I don't know how i'm going to eat 2 of them that quick!!

A few years ago Sainsburys delivered to me on Christmas Eve (they don't do it any more), left out a couple of crucial things and gave me some stupid substitutions. When I phoned to complain I got a "what do you expect, we're busy" response!!!! I kicked up such a stink the manager of the store ended up personally delivering my missing items. It was so stressful though that I would prefer to go myself at some bizzare hour - I reckon midnight on Friday will see the place empty.

About 2 weeks ago with Tesco and it came this morning, every last thing I ordered too!!! So my house now full of beer, wine, Baileys, nibbles -bring it on!

snowy, i had something similar with tesco a couple of years ago, it was delivered on the 23rd though. DH ended up going into Dundee to teh Tesco there to get the missing things - all of which were things that i needed like cream, milk, etc. I don't know why they substituted them though, there were plenty left when DH went.
Mine is booked to come on friday between 10 am and 12. Am waiting with baited breath
