No Tesco delivery slots for November

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the best Ellan!

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.

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

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

Something you would like to say, FannyCornforth? So much for not posting any more! X

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

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

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

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

my ffffffffffs are not working properly.
just giving them some practice. ffffffffffffff

you could have complained about that to sainsburys, and they should credit you or it.
all delivery vehicles have sections or chilled and for frozen foods. more likely something left out by pickers in warehouse, before being loaded onto van.
if anybody ought to know about frozen food, and how to keep it in optimum condition, it would be Iceland, one would hope !
check and reject if not.

Can I ask about Iceland? Do they deliver in a van that keeps stuff frozen?

I haven't had a freezer since March when the kitchen was ripped out, but now at last I have one. An empty one.

I ordered so e frozen stuff from Sainsbury but when it arrived it was soft so that's no good. OH and I had to eat six Magnums in one go!

Would Iceland stuff arrive frozen. Our nearest Iceland is about 20 minutes away.

Marydoll in east London ( a long way away from you, I know ), I have just booked a slot for 9th November. There are priority and non priority slots up to Friday 13th November.

Our Tesco slots have never been available more than 4 weeks in advance. We also learned during Lockdown that the next batch of slots become available at 12.01, so we used to set our alarms for 11.30pm, to be ready to grab a slot at 12.01.
We haven’t needed to do this for a month or two now.
But we’ve never been able to book more than 4 weeks ahead.

Sorry to see the thread getting somewhat fractious. I agree with you that kindness is generally the best policy.

I have been a long time delivery pass paying, Sainsbury’s Home Delivery shopper. Through lockdown they allowed me one slot per 7 days.
When things relaxed after lockdown that rule relaxed, but now with the fear of another total lockdown , and Christmas ahead, the supermarkets may pare back again and not show slots so far ahead.
M&S have released (and already filled) pre Xmas slots, but they are to be collected only - not for home delivery (in my area).

Marydoll please don’t upset yourself - you answer to no one about the way you prefer to shop.
If you can check the Tesco website at random times of day (and night if you wake part way through as I do), you’ll be bound to secure pre Christmas slots at end of Oct. or November. ?

Well I ordered so much stuff over Lockdown, which I didn't NEED, so I shall just live off that.

I think it must be local to your postcode because I was on the Tesco site 1 minute ago and no slots have appeared for after 6th November.

Thanks growstuff, so it has to be do with my area. That's all I wanted to know.

I already have one booked for 7th November. I've just been on to the site and there are deliveries on all days at all times from 8th-13th November.

I have had home deliveries from Asda or used Click and Collect. During lockdown, I discovered that slots would be released about 10.00 pm each evening, possibly after closing time at my nearest store. Now, I can usually book during the day more easily and often pay only £2.00 for delivery, if I choose the time carefully.
