Shielding and no delivery slots

[PumpkinP]

What are those of you doing that are shielding but no delivery slots? Sorry if it’s already been asked.

Supermarkets definitely release their slots at different times depending on where you are. In our area Iceland release theirs around 10am and for the first hour priority goes to anyone registered as vulnerable, but there are still slots left after that. Asda do theirs at 10pm, Tesco's first thing in the morning (about 6-7am). Obviously if you look outside those times it appears like there are never any slots but if you time it right, ones for the same week become available. Unfortunately it does mean a bit of messing around, refreshing pages and so on, plus a couple of late nights or early mornings til you work out when the slots are released.

I was on Asda's site at 10pm the other night, got put into a queue at 10.05pm kept clicking checkout and got through at 10:10pm and there were lots of slots. I gave up trying to get Tesco slots

Is there a whole salers near you at all? We have just got a delivery from our local one (huge bag of flour, frozen veg etc) and think they're keen for business cos obviously they normally supple restaurants and schools!
