I have been getting weekly delivery slots from Tesco since March, either priority or fixed.
I usually book three weeks ahead on a Saturday morning.
This morning I went in as usual and there are no delivery slots available right up until 13th November. ?
The last one I have booked is 6th November.

Could they be blocking for Christmas?

Illte You would have to check if Iceland deliver to your area. Yes the frozen was well and truly frozen when we received it.

Oh, I've just checked. Iceland don't deliver to us. Back to the drawing board ?

When I log in to my accounts, there are always 4 sets of weekly slots.
At the beginning of Lockdown, when I was shielding, I couldn't get any deliveries from anyone.
Once I had access to priority delivery slots, I could book up to three weeks ahead, which was great,a s I knew I couldn't go anywhere.

When we came out of lockdown, I was stll advised not to go near supermarkets or busy places, so I kept getting deliveries. The availibility increased to four weeks ahead.
On a Saturday morning, I always book for four weeks time. There are always lots of slots, which only become available for me on a Saturday morning, as I get my delivery on a Friday.
For the first time ever today, I couldn't book a slot for four weeks ahead.
If I went on first thing, as I always do, how could all the slots be gone for four weeks time?
This is the first time since March, I couldn't get a slot, any slot! The whole week of 7th-13th of November is fully booked. No priority, fixed time or flexible slots.

Thank you for explaining
I hope a slot opens for you.

I had read your op to mean nothing after the 13th, hence my confusion

Welcome to GN Beverly10, I see you've already had your first dousing of vinegar, I do hope it hasn't affected you much. Some people on this site would argue with their own reflection, you have to learn not to take it to heart.
To try to acquaint yourself with posters, why not post on Mick's Good Morning thread? I'm only a PM away. X

Summerlove, thanks, I probably didn't explain myself very well.

No, I think I read wrong
It’s been a day

Iceland are good, but their website is too slow, they only allow an hour to complete the order, as compared to Tesco`s 2 hours. It takes so long to change a page, I find it hard to do an order in one hour.

Marydoll that has happened to me then someone on here (thank you, whoever you were) advised me to just keep looking because sometimes they do release more slots in the same time periods.

I pass my time baking treats for my lovely neighbours, who have been so good to me throughout shielding.

Oh! I was going to offer to bake you a Bara Brith to tide you over, but I'm not exactly a Mary Berry in the kitchen.

There are people stocking up for Christmas and/or the second Coronavirus wave. If you can't get a slot at one supermarket, just try others or use Shoppingslot or Deliveryslotfinder.
