Is anyone else finding Ocado & Waitrose.com totally booked up?

There are no Waitrose.com deliveries this year apparently.
Same with Ocado but if I refresh the screen 20 times a day about once a week a slot will become available.

Yes. I gave up on Ocado without ever getting a delivery slot - it was completely impossible.

Varjakpaw · 25/11/2020 16:17

I haven't tried Waitrose - though I have been meaning to because I'm thinking of swapping, but I have no problem getting Ocado slots at all. In fact, I could even get one tomorrow. Weekends limited, but no problem with weekdays all the way up to Christmas week.

Do you mean for Christmas? Because they have availability now, just nothing after the 15th December because they have been booked up by the early birds.

@movingonup20
No, in general. Maybe it varies depending on where you live. I am in quite central London. No deliveries are available at any time for the next 6 weeks+ on Ocado.

The only way I get a delivery every now and then is to just keep refreshing my screen when I have time and about once a week one delivery slot for the next day usually will suddenly appear and I grab it immediately.

@Varjakpaw. Wow, lucky you. Are you in London? In my area both Ocado and Waitrose have zero delivery slots at any time on any day for the rest of this year.

@ifIwerenotanandroid. It's so annoying isn't it?
To my astonishment one slot popped up after my 7th refresh of the page today. I grabbed it immediately before it's too late. Delivery slots are like gold dust here

@Trying2Heal yes London. I’m sorry it isn’t as simple for you. I had to give up on Tesco for MIL though (no Waitrose or Ocado near her), so I suppose it is swings and roundabouts.

Waitrose haven't released all the weeks yet here.... only the next 2 weeks and then from 20 December onwards

All Christmas slots gone but can book at the end of the 2 recent weeks

Trying2Heal · 25/11/2020 16:46

@Varjakpaw Maybe there is excessive demand for it in my neighbourhood?? We've a Waitrose about a 15 to 20 minute walk away so I'll guess I'll just have to always go in person and for the most part forget about ordering delivery.

I’m finding that new slots become available, near to my next delivery.

Thecobwebsarewinning · 25/11/2020 21:04

I can get Waitrose but not Ocado and haven’t been able to get a Tesco shop for 4 months.

ceeveebee · 25/11/2020 21:24

I can see lots of slots for Ocado from next Monday for the next 3 weeks where I am (greater Manchester)

parietal · 25/11/2020 21:31

i can get Ocado but can't get waitrose for weeks. which is a pity as I'd much rather order from waitrose.
