    Thanks, Socks!

    I did what you suggested and booked an Asda slot yesterday for the 22nd and was able to change it to first thing on the 23rd today.

    Thanks for the tip to remember to go through checkout! I would probably have forgotten otherwise!

    Merry Christmas to ya!

  • I've booked an asda slot 23rd for delivery between 10-12, now i'm wondering is that too early, will the fresh deliveries have arrived by then...or should I change it to the later slot....i think I'll order my turkey in town..
    Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.:D

    There should have been fresh stock in overnight, just like any day. There is an army of shelf stackers working there socks off to stack the shelves but... the pickers in my store are going to be working through the night too! ( the shop floor is too busy to have the big 'picker trollies' still around at 10am) so let's hope the shelves are stacked early enough to not have too many 'subs' or 'not available' iems.

    Good luck everyone but please be gentle on the driver... it might be me!

    Probably a bit of a stoopid question - but do Asda deliver fresh turkeys? I managed to book a slot for 23rd but the only turkeys I can find online are frozen ones? Do they get added to the site as it gets nearer christmas or will I have to brave the shops in person to get one;)

    I noticed you can order a turkey online to pick up from store in Waitrose - you have to book a time slot to collect - (not ocado) so think I might to that.

    I have just received an email in reply to my complaint to Tesco's Chief Exec - not from him you understand, but from the people paid to reply when people complain to him directly.
    I am told that the 10% were selected at random by postcode not by person! So that's alright then (not!). So Tesco isn't deselecting the lowest 90% of its customers - its just a random kick in the teeth!
    I am told that people were given staggered access to the slots because they receive a lot of orders at this time of year!
    So, we have yet another explanation for the Christmas delivery slot fiasco, and I have got my slot booked with Sainsburys for Monday 22nd December!

    I know some people on this thread (and elsewhere) can't understand why we've got annoyed about this. I know that in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter hugely, I will get my groceries, and it will not spoil my Christmas one bit. However, this site is supposed to be about consumers not being pushed around, and on this one, I, and many others I think, feel that Tesco has been pushing us around! (Rant over!)

    the advert on the tv at the mo, says they will have fresh turkeys instore from 19th, so im assuming you should be able to add them to orders from that date too

    My Tesco dates are booked up completely for 21st/22nd at £6 a go but Customer Services said 23rd will be available from midnight tonight so if I want to try and grab one I should stay up late. It will be interesting to see if the slots are available or not. Think I'll book Asda - they've got plenty of dates available.

    I'm a bit of a night owl and i tried to book a slot just after midnight at tesco and the page just wouldn't load at all....i tried a few times...so can only suspect that loads of others were trying too......it was a bit like tyring to buy Take that tickets all over again!!!!....so it's Asda for me....
