Did it let you buy the delivery saver today, while you were on there?

yes and no.

i was on a laptop - opened new window to do it. when i went back to queue window and queue ended it 'knew' i had delivery saver.

if that makes sense!?

I logged in at 5:50 ish - more than an hour which dropped to 45 minutes pretty quickly. Waited 40 minutes so not bad and I’ve booked slots for every week until the end of the year.

I preferred when they opened it at midnight

Interesting. I booked Asda two weeks ago for Christmas. I guess they all do it differently.

I booked Morrisons two weeks ago, although their slots for Dec 24th haven't been released yet.

I remember they did this last year and I realised they'd released the "really close to Christmas" slots at a different time.

Ooh, I'd rather get a good night's sleep, then wake up early.

Morrisons slots for the 24th were available to book when they went live, at least in my area. Mine comes from the big warehouse near Bristol, so perhaps it’s different for those coming from stores and they need to wait until they know how much resource they’ll have for picking and packing on 24th.

Good luck everyone! I decided to try Sainsbury’s a couple of weeks ago when their slots were released: I got one straight away with no queue or stress!

Same here. Saver slot on 23 Dec for £1! Which I'm more than happy with. Anything missing we'll pick up during the day that day as we'll have the receipt early doors.

Mine has to be click and collect, from a static van which comes all the way from Dunoon and parks for three hours in the next village to mine.

Nobody does home delivery to our village. Even the Tesco's comes to a car park near us!

A time slot for delievery of your shopping. Lots of people use them year round, just pick a slot and order your food online and then it turns up within your chosen hour slot. If you want a specific busy time eg 10 on Saturday morning you normally book about a week in advance but random times and dates are avaliable a couple of days in advance. But come Christmas the slots are released early and are booked up straight away. At Christmas the supermarkets are really busy so getting an online food shopping is much nicer.

You have to be signed up for a delivery plan to get access to the first phase of the time slots released. I use Tesco online food delievery durring the year so I have a delievery saver plan because it’s cheaper than paying for each delivery.

Thank you! I can certainly understand avoiding the grocers at Christmas time! I hope everyone here gets a great slot!
