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
|
|
By:
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.

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 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 |

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. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/coronavirus-tesco-limits-essential-items-to-one-each-to-stop-customers-stockpiling/ar-BB11Se8s . |

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

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

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?
|
|
By:
The only supermarket I could get to deliver was 'Morrisons'.
Anyone heard of them? |
|
By:
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.
