Asda seem to release some delivery and click and collect slots around 10am. A couple of days ago I was able to book a sainsburys click and collect mid afternoon. Sainsburys have click and collect available in my area right now, just for saturday, so they may have elsewhere too.

Demand for food delivery slots continues to remain high as more people order their groceries online. We've seen a couple of free slots appearing throughout April, and we're checking every day to keep you informed of where and when more delivery slots become available.

Tesco has increased its online delivery slots by 20 per cent in the last few weeks, adding 145,000 new slots. That takes its total to 780,000, with 'thousands more becoming available every day,' said Tesco CEO Dave Lewis. It seems to be paying off, too, as we've seen an improvement in the amount of slots Tesco has available recently.

In a similar response, Asda has increased its capacity, adding 300,000 food delivery slots for a total of 700,000. Meanwhile, Sainsbury's has almost doubled its grocery delivery and click-and-collect slots, boosting its total from 370,000 to 600,000. Waitrose has also followed suit adding 10,000 new slots and 5,0000 rapid delivery slots.

Online supermarket Ocado, Co-Op and Iceland also claim to be making new food delivery slots available throughout the day as well. Morrisons has increased its limit of three items per customers to four, so that customers can continue to donate to food banks, and has introduced Morrisons Food Boxes where you can select a variety of boxes that include essentials to ready meals.

So which supermarkets have delivery slots available? And which other services are still running? Read on for our extensive round-up of which food delivery services are delivering right now – plus our best tips for how to get a food delivery slot if you need one.

How to get a food delivery slot

Though you may be reluctant to do so, most supermarkets are requesting that you visit stores in person, if you can, so they can prioritise food delivery slots for elderly or vulnerable customers. Some retailers, such as Waitrose, have closed their websites to new customers to help them do this. Others, including Sainsbury's, have been in touch with loyalty card holders who are aged over 70.

If you're a vulnerable person - or you know someone who is - you can register for support on the government's website. Tesco is prioritising orders for people on the government's vulnerable list, and will be in touch with anyone who is by email.

If you need to order food online, our best advice is to keep checking the website of your local supermarket throughout the day. If you can sign up for an account, do so: this will make it easier for you to find a delivery slot in future. Book your delivery slot first to avoid disappointment, and once you have one, most supermarkets give you around an hour to place your order.

Finally, if you can't get hold of a grocery delivery slot, don't forget there are some fantastic meal delivery services still operating too. Recipe box services like Mindful Chef deliver fresh ingredients to your door for you to cook, while meal delivery companies such as Allplants will drop off meals that have been cooked by their chefs.

Grocery delivery

When will more online grocery delivery slots become permanently available? Unfortunately, no one knows for sure. However, the major supermarkets are working around the clock to improve the supply chain, and while it currently looks like it'll continue to be difficult to book food delivery slots, we have seen slots appear at supermarkets across the country throughout the day.

We're assessing the situation daily, and we'll tell you which supermarkets are offering food delivery slots, if and when we see them.

Please remember to use all food delivery services responsibly. Only order what you need to preserve stocks for others who might be in need.

Grocery delivery: our process

We signed up to all the major supermarkets below and created a shopping basket full of popular goods. Every day, we compare five different locations - London, Leeds, Portsmouth, Manchester and Bath - to provide a sense of what stock is available in each area and whether delivery slots are currently offered. Here's the latest on which supermarkets are offering online grocery delivery today...

Tesco

Next delivery slot: none currently available - new slots are added throughout the day (last updated 22/04/20)

Update (22/04/20): We didn't find any Tesco delivery slots based on our research today, but the supermarket is adding new slots throughout the day so keep checking back.

Tesco has expanded its food delivery and click-and-collect capacity to around 780,000 delivery slots. Our research has found a few Tesco home delivery slots popping up occasionally, but we're not currently seeing any in the areas we're testing. Hopefully this changes as Tesco expands its capacity.

Tesco CEO Dave Lewis reached out to customers in a message two weeks ago: 'We know that it's difficult right now to get a delivery slot for online shopping. We are at full capacity for the next few weeks and we ask those who are able to safely come to stores to do so, instead of shopping online, so that we can start to free up more slots for the more vulnerable.'

Tesco has a decent selection of food items online, but getting hold of them at the moment can be tricky. Most brands are in stock, but eggs, hand soap and pasta are the exception, with some items sold out.

According to Tesco, new food delivery slots are offered up as and when they're available each day.

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. New slots are opened up each day 3 weeks in advance at around 23:30 - 00:30. I hope that helps. TY - BarrieMarch 24, 2020

How to sign up for an account

Enter a valid email address and password, and confirm whether you have a Clubcard or not. You’ll receive one automatically upon registering if you don't. Fill in your personal details, including your phone number and UK Postcode. You can then select if you’d like to receive offers and vouchers from Tesco or not.

Benefits and perks

Coronavirus measures and policies

Customers who shop online are encouraged to shop in-store where possible to help free up delivery slots for the elderly customers and those who are self-isolating.

Due to increased demand, Tesco isn’t accepting any new Delivery Saver customers right now either. A restriction of only three items per customer on every product line is in place, and multi-buy promotions have also been removed.

An 80 items limit is now in place for all online orders.

Sainsbury's

Next delivery slot: only click & collect slots available (last updated 22/04/20)

Update (22/04/20): Sainsbury's is still only offering click & collect slots as they continue to prioritise the elderly and vulnerable. We had seen the occasional free food delivery slot appear during our research, but there are none available at this time.

Unless you’re already registered as a Sainsbury’s online customer, Sainsbury’s has paused all new online registrations. Sainsbury's has also almost doubled the amount of food delivery and click-and-collect slots on offer.

In a message to customers, Sainsbury's Chief Executive Mike Coupe has provided more insight into how the company is delivering to the elderly or vulnerable: 'Many of you have written to me to tell me you are elderly or vulnerable and are struggling to book online delivery slots. We are doing our absolute best to offer online delivery slots to elderly, disabled and vulnerable customers. These customers have priority over all slots.'

Sainsbury's revealed that their customer Careline has had 'one year's worth of contacts in two weeks'. Mike Coupe went on to add, 'I apologise to our regular online customers, who I know are feeling very frustrated at not being able to book slots. Please bear with us and I hope you can understand why we feel the need to prioritise elderly and vulnerable customers at the moment.'

How to sign up for an account

Due to the huge increase in online orders, new registrations have been paused for the time being. To sign up for a Sainsbury’s online account, enter your email address and fill in your details on the following page. Once you’ve finished, you can start shopping.

Benefits and perks

You can collect and spend Nectar Points with each online food shop. A Delivery Pass is also available, which can help you save up to £156 per year.

Coronavirus measures and policies

Elderly customers and those deemed as vulnerable will be offered priority delivery slots.

We are continuing to work around the clock to feed the nation in these challenging times, and have taken further steps based on what you have told us in the past 24 hours. Please read the latest from our CEO Mike Coupe here: https://t.co/I0kBAX5fmL pic.twitter.com/Ud6bAVfmMSMarch 22, 2020

Asda

Next delivery slot: none currently available (last updated 22/04/20)

Update (22/04/20): Asda still isn't showing any free home delivery or click & collect slots at the moment, despite the retailer increasing its online capacity to provide an extra 300,000 delivery slots.

In an email to customers, Asda CEO Roger Burnley has shared some information regarding how the company is working to deliver online shopping: 'We're providing our drivers with hand sanitiser and gloves, and making as many online shopping slots available as we can. We're encouraging those that are able to safely shop in person to do so - this allows us to deliver to the highly vunerable.'

Roger Burnely went on to add 'If you are self-isolating or have additional needs, please advise us in the 'other information' section when placing your order.'

How to sign up for an account

Registering is quick and easy with Asda (it says as much on its website), simply enter your email, a password and then enter your delivery postcode and you’re good to go. You can choose whether to receive exclusive offers and the latest info from Asda too if you’d like.

Benefits and perks

Competitively priced and with a Delivery Pass available, Asda online shoppers can save up to £80 and £100 by choosing a 6-month or 12-month pass. Offers are clearly highlighted on the Asda website, so you’re never likely to miss a cracking deal.

Coronavirus measures and policies

Customers are limited to a three item maximum on all food, toiletries and cleaning products when ordering online.

When placing an online delivery order, anyone who is self-isolating is advised to fill in the ‘Other information’ section to advise where their order should be left, i.e. on the doorstep.

If you're self-isolating, Asda has introduced a Volunteer Shopping Card. You can top it up with the amount of money you'd like to spend, and send it to your volunteer of choice who can then do your shop for you.

Ocado

Next delivery slot: none currently available (last updated 22/04/20)

Update (22/04/20): No delivery slots are available at Ocado at the moment due to high demand. The online supermarket hopes to have new slots available soon, however, and priority customers may still be able to find free slots.

The online supermarket has seemingly ditched its queuing system in favour of a daily update that states whether or not delivery slots are available. Ocado is now letting customers book deliveries more frequently and is showing slot availability up to 21 days in advance for priority customers.

Asda Delivery Slots X

Ocado has also brought order cut-off times forward, so customers are encouraged to complete their order in one session to avoid disappointment later. In an email to existing customers on 25 March, Ocado Retail CEO Melanie Smith has said that 'no matter how hard we work, we will not have enough capacity to serve the unprecedented levels of demand'.

She went on to say that 'new delivery slots will be released every day for the coming week, as and when we have capacity'.

It's currently unclear whether Ocado is allowing new customers. If you do not have a delivery booked already, Ocado's website notes that there is 'limited availability over the next few days'.

Thanks, Natalia, we’re doing everything we can to serve as many customers as possible and our teams are working around the clock. Please keep checking back on the website for updates on placing new orders and when new delivery slots will be available.- RubyMarch 24, 2020

Benefits and perks

Coronavirus measures and policies

Ocado had to temporarily suspend its service due to high demand, but is now its back online. Customers can only book one delivery slot every seven days to free up more slots for other customers.

Some products are limited to one or two per order, and a small number of bulky items have been removed from sale to make more room in each delivery van. The company has shared how stockpiling has affected its service during the coronavirus outbreak.

Anytime Smart Pass members who joined before 2020 will be placed in a temporary priority queue so they can book a delivery slot each week. Ocado will send an email and text message between the hours of 09:00 and 17:00 to give members access to the queue.

Morrisons' £35 food box delivery

Three weeks ago Morrisons launched a food box delivery service that aimed to supply customers who can't get to the shops with essential items. 'A Morrisons Food Box could be a real help if you can’t currently get to a store to stock up on essentials,' says the site. 'We will deliver a box of selected food and household items straight to your door.
