Online shopping delivery slots during crisis

MaisieD

Does anyone know when Asda or Tesco release their online slots each day as I keep missing them? Someone said it was 2-3am?

They don't have a specific time, you just have to keep checking.

I’ve tried on Tesco, Morrison’s, Asda and Ocado. All of these supermarkets have no delivery slots for me. I assume this is due to panic buying, people not wanting to go to the supermarkets and staff shortages.

Apparently at Tesco near me the pickers are starting work 3 hours earlier than normal to be able to pick all the orders.

I've managed to book with Iceland more than once, took days each time,  you just have to keep logging on and checking. 
Iceland are booking no more than 3 days ahead and releasing as and when during the day.

Tesco release their slots at midnight according to the delivery driver. my sister asked him and he said she needed to go online about 11,50 and join the queue to get a slot. not sure if you have to keep refreshing the page or not because I have not tried it.

That sounds right - I got put in a queue just after 11.50 and was able to book a slot about 25 minutes later. Page automatically refreshed. This was about 2 weeks ago, so hopefully it's still the same...

The new day they release is 3 weeks on. 

The slot I got is for the 21st so I haven't had another go yet.

Morrison's online.
Elderly parents ( 89 & 88 ) used Morrison's online shopping & had deliveries to their address for years.
Now when they try to order they get a message ' Sorry we don't deliver to your address' !!!!
They presume this is because they have no delivery slots.
Why do Morrison's not say that then !!!

This is probably because Morrisons are doing more home deliveries from stores (instead of warehouses) and are moving some customers to a different website. It is not due to running out of capacity, otherwise it would just say there aren't any slots. I would suggest calling their customer service.

I’m just just after coming from the Tesco site.  They placed me in a queue about 11.50 and the page kept refreshing, at 12.05 the page refreshed once again and took me to their oops page.
I immediately went into the book a slot page but they all seemed to have gone. Surely they couldn’t go that quickly
At this time I’m not worried as I was just testing the system

 I can't drive and my husband has no clue, so any that won't let couples in are a no-go. If an item isn't there he will not have any idea what to get.

Can he not drive you to the supermarket and if they are limiting it to one person per household, he waits in the car while you do the shop ?

Same thing happened to me but without the "oops" page. 

Just tried again, at 6.45am and found lots of slots available for this week, right up until Sunday. No slots for next week or the week after though.
