Change language and content. When supermarket delivery slots are released and when you can book one according to Martin Lewis. Waitrose - used to be in partnership with Ocado but not any more. My normal food deliveries with ocado have died as they are not booking any slots for any dates. I have tried all the the others Morrisons, Waitrose, Asda, Tesco and Sainburys and they haven't goyt anything. So do the slots update at midnight? I tried then and couldnt' find anthing either but a new day was added and it was sold out immediately.
You can boost your chances of getting a delivery slot by reserving one when new slots are released. For example, Tesco told us that some stores add new slots to its website at midnight. I have been unable to get a slot for a home delivery from either Waitrose or Tesco and believe there are a emergency slots for people like myself. Reply Doreen Brown March 29, 2020 At 3:17 pm.
