TESCO XMAS FOOD DELIVERY DATES ARE ONLINE NOW

[WhatDidISayRoy]

Just incase anyone is waiting for theirs, i noticed mine is up and have booked my slot for 23rd. Already s fair few slots have gone, so not sure if this is up and running in all areas of the country so best check now.

nope mine is still only up to wed 16th

Same here bigchris!

same here. Also do i have to do my shop then and checkout - when do they take the money?

yes, you just chuck a turkey in the basket, checkout and leave it at that. no you dont pay until they take the money out on the 23rd or whenever you choose to have it delivered.

Then in your own time you add all the other stuff you need nearer the time.

i remember them doing it in areas last year as my mate had her xmas delivery dates on line before i did.

Ah hthanks - I'm due dc4 on Xmas day, so could really do without going shopping too!

It should look like this when you go into book a delivery slot.

26 November 2009-02 December 2009 03-09 December 200910-16 December 2009 17-23 December 2009

Mine only showed it up to the 16th, but if you change the week number in the url from 2 to 3 you get the week up to 23/12. Plenty of slots already gone despite the fact you can't browse to it through the normal way.

eclectech if you do that they'll cancel your order most likely, a bunch of us got caught out cheating in previous years

Thanks...booked mine hope it keeps it for me!

Ah, now a couple of years ago we had a thing on MN whereby some people were getting Christmas dleivery dates before they came out and then tesco found out and cancelled the orders!

Mine were up, just booked for the 21st, thanks for the heads-up!

Just booked mine.

Just showing till 16th on mine but have got an order going and will just change the date on it when they release them

God I love mumsnet.

When did they cancel them? With plenty of time to rebook?

Mine was cancelled later in the day last year, it was about this time of year and I did manage to book a slot uncheatingly later

Why is it cheating anyway? The date is available, you have put something in the basket and checked out.

I have just checked and I can't book for xmas week without changing the URL either.

Don't want to risk doing that again after last years fiasco, it was a nightmare after initially being so smug about the early booking.

I'm sure they will be looking out for masses of bookings again before the slots have been officially released!

thanks booked for 23rd

I can't get past the 16th and after having mine cancelled last year (plus DH forgetting to tell me they had phoned to cancel) I'm not risking changing the dates!

how does each store vary then

I changed the URL last year to book my xmas slot and tesco phoned me at the last minute to cancel it. Then I couldn't get another slot at all as by that time they were all gone.

Wouldn't risk it!!!

what is htis talk of url changing?
i just booked it normally

We are on special Cornish time here, thats why we always get things later!

Really? We've done it before and it's always been OK. I wonder if it's shop specific? Will check next week when it should be a button.
