When do Tesco home delivery slots become available?

Not sure. We got them for first couple of weeks now nothing every available.

If anyone knows time they come online please post.

Whole country possibly looked at this service
In last 3 weeks absolutely Bob hope chance !
My advice is get family freinds or people down your street
Who had it delivered for years get it for you !!!
As there be classed as loyal customer
My next door getting ours for us all muck in
Help each other just got wipe everything down when you get home with it
Stay covid free if possible

Leave them for old folk or get a big delivery!!!!!

I was just saying this to my new girlfriend when we went dogging, she loves the idea of a big delivery.

You should have seen her face.

Did you use the windscreen scraper to remove it.

Perth Tesco stores don't cater for the whole country Fattie and Sainsbury's are only delivering to the high risk folk and the elderly.  Otherwise it's Click and Collect ONLY with them - at least in Stirling and Dundee.

Your advice is sound for those with family, friends and neighbours but some peeps don't have any of them out in the sticks.  Having a SORNed motor doesn't help much either

Be careful with the editing as Ocado sent me a message yesterday morning that I was no longer able to edit today's delivery (usually it can be done up to the evening before). Luckily I had already done my edits. Props to Ocado in this difficult time, I received everything apart from shampoo. And the usual loaf of squashed bread lol

I’m sure Perth Tesco wouldn’t
But I’m sure in general there all the same
With 1000% more business not able to cope with demand

Ocado virtual queue was 147,000 waiting the other day.

Tesco:

There are currently no available Tesco's home delivery slots for nearly another month.

At the time of writing, there is no delivery available between March 26 and April 15.

The supermarket has now suspended all new delivery sign-ups due to demand.

In the future, they hope to set up delivery slots reserved for those in mandatory self-isolation who can't risk going outside for supplies.

Are any of these online supermarkets accepting new customers ?  Heard Ocado are not, know Sainsburys are not

Harrods gone back to there roots
Delivering goods from there food hall
It’s the bollox but comes at a cost

I'm glad you're sure about that and what do you mean they're generally all the same?

Do you understand the OP?

trilby,

KEEP CHECKING.

They are rolled over every 24 hours HOWEVER, slots appear from time to time at random times, sometimes showing a available within eight days and sometimes even the following day.

^^^^^^^^
This applies to the one hour and the flexi slots.

Cheers Nick.  I figured the 24 hour bit and was wondering what time the changeover is.  I'll look back in at midnight.

I went Tesco Wednesday 4 pm Was empty would say 70 % stock available , No queue

Should be age restriction  on deliveries ... and vulnerable people

Sorry, it is midnight.

But I looked around 2pm and suddenly there were about six slots available for a April 5.

Someone else in another part of the country noticed at around 4pm, some slots appeared for tomorrow.

THE FREEZER FILLERS HAVE RAN OUT OF ROOM IMO

It's worth checking regularly in case people change their minds and cancel their delivery slot.

You'll also get regular online shoppers who will book slots in advance by sticking a loaf of bread in the basket, checking out, in advance of adding to the order  at a later date. You're only charged for the order when your order is picked on the day.

There will be many thousands of customers sat there with multiple secured delivery slots.

The question is therefore, is this fair under present conditions with so many vulnerable and keyworkers fretting as to how they can get just one home delivery to help them out of a hole?

I went in at 6am Thursday, Case.  Perth Extra, big store.  No queues but it was busy.  Got everything on my list but plenty empty shelves.  Security guy said it was quietest since things kicked off.

Yea, figure there'll be cancelations.  Bit of a lucky dip I suppose but it'll be interesting to see how fast the slots fill up @ midnight.

WEBCAM OUTSIDE SHOWING HOW MANY ARE THERE

and Stock indicator attached to each Store

trilby,

I say midnight because that was when the date on the tabs for weeks 1,2 and 3 changed but there were no slots available when I checked on a couple of nights a few seconds after 00:00.

Maybe they don't actually put up the slots until later?

Organised gangs looting in Italy.

We'll see Nick.  I'll - or someone else might - post confirmation.  Prob not tonight cos the clocks go back.

Had a couple of ram raids up here Ak , Sunderland area , Nicking motors Ram Raid then burning the Motor

Drink robbed from Sainsburys ............ Scum

I think this ought to be reserved for the elderly and infirm only with a cap on items too to prevent exploitation and abuse. All other deliveries stopped as of now. There are other sources of food for them.

As this is an Emergency Period a shoot-to-kill policy enacted, if necessary. I believe any unaccountable large amount of food products found stashed in unregistered premises or private dwellings ought to be confiscated and given to food banks or charity to distribute to the genuine needy.

Not one iota of a chance of getting a delivery in next 3 weeks.

Sainsbury's and Waitrose are delivering to elderly and vulnerable only.

I agree - quite right.

Yup.  I agree with i_agree_with_nick.  I think I heard somewhere home deliveries usually account for only 7% of supermarket sales, on average.

trilby22 & i_agree_with_nick

are you both in the group that can't leave your house for supplies, ie shielding. It's not clear as you're both seemingly looking to get online delivery slots but also agree it should be  elderly and vulnerable only.

Tesco are not as yet limiting deliveries to the elderly and vulnerable.

Sainsbury's and Waitrose are giving priority to those customers who they already had a record of as in these groups. They are waiting for the government to pass them the details of those who have registered as being a member of a vulnerable group but are not known as such to the supermarkets.

I have registered on the government website.

I wouldn't be looking for a delivery slot unless it was necessary, Cider.

So you're either elderly or vulnerable (or both) ?

None of your (and the world's) business.

It's hardy divulging specific personal information, but the answer can be inferred.

Like I said, I wouldn't be looking for a delivery slot unless it was necessary.

You could deem it necessary even if you weren't in one of the groups.

In general what I find hard to understand, people in the elderly group if they're over 70, many of will struggle navigating online ordering anyway (not all of course).

My Mum is 74, not a chance in hell she could process an online order

Cider - trilby said he agreed that it should be limited to those in the vulnerable groups.

Feckin nosey coont is that Cider fella

That is correct, Nick

As I say, bringing it back to more general chat, there can't be enough people shielding to fulfill the capacity of available online deliveries across the country. Many are already being supported and many others wouldn't be able to do it. So we would end up with a huge amount of wasted capacity.

You can order on someone else's behalf ie to an address other than your own.

It's very tricky in practice with the new banking regulations. I've had a lot of unfortunate experience

The cardholder has to be present basically, as the payment is authorised via cardreader or a code sent to the mobile. You can't pay yourself as the address is a mismatch.

You can order to a different address.

I used to order groceries for the lad when he was at University and living away.

Used Tesco*

*Other supermarkets are available

Just get them to transfer the cash back to your bank account.

or if it's an an act of altruism the above action need not apply.

Good luck with the slot hunting chaps. fwiw if you have an Ocado account there was slots popped up for next day when I was logged in on Friday. Although looks like nothing until at least Monday on the website now.

Cheers cider.  Stay safe fella

Cheers trilby, and you. Wasn't meaning to be too prying, this is a very tricky time for most of us and I realise I'm currently more fortunate than many. The upside for me is that I've been preparing for self isolation most of my adult life

as long as my beer supply comes in through waitrose I could not give a damn

EXCEPT  it is disgusting how the MASSIVE priority should be for the  isolated and particularly those on their own

anyone who thinks otherwise should consider their belonging to humanity

but if you are a millenuall  fk everyone doing your laps around westminster  then they are more important

I don't  think  many care for the elderly as they are voters who will die off soon as the xr greta anti brexit crowd have clearly stated

New slots kick in at midnight.

Delivery charge between £3 & £4 for a four hour slot on Sat 18th April.

3 items of any product max - even milk.

Ffs, can only get three bananas

Miracle anyone get a slot.

Deptford
Some one soon by asking you for stat table
Wanting you back that miracle claim up
Chit chat members love Stats , tables ,
Facts only not miracles
As your favourite tipple gone up in price ???

Nowhere near a miracle, Dep!

I haven't looked back but it's clear a day has to get added each day, is it not?  The 28th no longer exists, so the three week period must extend a day.  Get in there early = get a slot.  It's not rocket surgery!

Morning Fattie.

WD, Trilby.

I tried last night just after midnight and couldn't get to the main site because it was too busy.  I got in at around 00:10 but there were no slots available.

I've been looking in from time to time today and about an hour ago managed to get a slot for tomorrow afternoon.

Slots went in ten mins?   WD for getting one today
News saying Tesco only allowing ONE item per customer.

.

Looks like that rule applies to the Express stores.

For online orders, all items seem to be three per person whether it be soap, hand gel or anything else.

Ah, so it is.  I can only get a bunch of three bananas

fattie, Waitrose doing great deals, just cant get a slot!!

trilby, all depends on where you live.

The chit-chat hunger games     

Haven't done this much slot hunting since the late 80s in the Students Union bars

As a waitrose shopper I wouldn't know.   What do they sell at this tesco place?

The only supermarket I could get to deliver was 'Morrisons'.

Anyone heard of them?

Morrisons simply the best steak pies are really good, only second to the new M n S one. moisok, Bollinger and Veuve on special in Waitrose.

I have a look now and again but there seems to be no improvement on the situation a couple of weeks ago.

Presumably, some people are aware when the slots become available (if they ever do) and are possibly multi booking?

I managed to get a slot for Asda in a couple of weeks but that will not suffice on its own.

Nothing for Waitrose, Ocado and Morrisons at all and no signs of that changing. Anyone got any idea when these three offer new slots?

This is the latest info from Ocado

We have experienced such extraordinary levels of demand in recent days that despite our best efforts, we simply have not had enough capacity to serve all our customers.
To put it into context, practically every Ocado customer, no matter how infrequently they may have shopped previously, is now looking to place an order every week. At the same time, with families at home, the average size of orders has almost doubled. This means there is an unceasing level of demand several times our current delivery capacity.
We’ve already taken decisive steps to manage this demand, closing our doors to new customers, and limiting customers to one delivery slot every seven days. However, despite these measures, we can see that not all Smart Pass customers have been able to book a delivery.
As an Anytime Smart Pass member, we consider you to be one of our best customers, so we’ve set up a temporary priority queue to enable you to book a delivery slot each week.
How you will get access:
We have divided all paying Anytime Smart Pass members who joined before 2020 into a number of equal-sized, randomised groups. You will be placed in one of these groups.
At spaced intervals, we will give each group access to the priority queue, enabling them to quickly get in and choose a slot for their weekly delivery. We will do this by sending each group an email and text message between the hours of 9am and 5pm, starting tomorrow.
Once you get your email, you’ll have the rest of the day to place and check out your order. Please wait for your message, as you won’t be able to access the priority queue at other times.
Please be aware that there is still high demand for slots, and you may not see full availability for all time slots. But, because we can now prioritise the customers we let on to the website, and each customer can only have one slot, you can be confident that there are enough slots – and groceries – to go around.
Our developers continue to work on a better solution which will allow us to manage this in a simpler way but, for now, this fix at least helps us to prioritise you in the short-term. It makes access fair, and helps to keep traffic to our website at manageable levels, ensuring you the best possible shopping experience in the circumstances.
Please note: our usually all-knowing Customer Service team can’t set-up or change this temporary process, so they won’t be able to tell you which group you are in, or when you will get your email.
Thank you for your continued understanding and patience. We all understand the huge responsibility placed on us, and we are working tirelessly to help feed the nation at this challenging time.
Your Ocado team

(we've not received the email to say we can access the priority queue as yet).

So anyone who isn't on a priority list can forget it. Why register new people if they have absolutely no chance of getting a slot? Bonkers.

So  they can spam your inbox.

Around September would be my guess.
