Waitrose Christmas slots rolling out from today

Got a mail shot last week saying I could book for Christmas from today because I spend too much with them, and have just managed to book my slot for Monday 23rd.
Not sure when they’re rolling out to everyone so keep a look out for the Christmas option when you go to book a slot if you’re wanting one.

There must be a real geographic issue here - I have checked the 23rd availability and it’s good across all their East Sussex shops. Perhaps it’s because we have Ocado too?

I got one for lunchtime on the 22nd at just gone midnight. Nothing left on the 23rd which is the date that I usually have and have had for the last 10 years 🙄
I hope the dates aren't too short.
I also noted the site said "Only 2 Christmas slots per person. Please think of others"
TWO SLOTS??
We spend on average £100 and over every week so goodness knows what the threshold is!
Thanks for listening to me whinge, early night tonight!!

If you check nearer the time there will probably be a cancellation and you can change your slot, I did that last year as I didn't get one I wanted. A few cancellations came up as I guess people find out they are busy on their delivery time.

Thank you, I never thought of doing that 😊

Odd isn't it? Maybe it's because our nearest branch is quite small. The bigger one was in walking distance but unfortunately closed in 2021.
We have Ocado here too but I only order from there occasionally so no chance of a slot with them.

Ocado slots seem to have reopened for me after I missed the initial release for smart pass holders last week!
