Being able to book a slot of online food shopping is not easy.

Even though many people are avoiding online deliveries, leaving more availability for people who are isolating or vulnerable, there still doesn’t seem to be enough slots.

Shopping in store? Use this app to find how long you’ll need to queue.

People have been sharing their hacks to book in a supermarket delivery.

Some have mentioned that supermarkets release new slots at midnight.

Others have got up at 2 am to check for slots as there’ll be fewer people online and they hope they’ll get a booking.

And others will keep the supermarket site open and refresh the pages through the day in the hope new slots get added randomly.

But doing all that takes a lot of time and you still won’t guarantee to get something booked.

Wouldn’t it be great is there was a tool to show when they are available shopping slots across the different supermarkets?

Well, there is!

How to find home delivery slots

Instead of trying to find what time Tesco delivery slots become available or when Sainsbury’s release delivery slots, this new tool shows which supermarkets have delivery slots.

A brand new website, Shopping Slot, allows you to search across multiple supermarkets and find the next delivery slots as well as click and collect.

The site is absolutely free to use, and it takes all of a minute to see where has online delivery.

Simply pop your postcode into the Shopping Slot site, and it’ll deliver the results.

There is no Shopping Slot app; it’s all done via their main website.

Instead of refreshing multiple supermarket websites, trying to get a food shop, this means you’ll save time and only need to review one site.

Am I guaranteed deliveries?

Shopping Slot can show available delivery slots and click and collect for Tesco, Asda, Iceland and Waitrose.

Other supermarkets like Morrisons may get added later.

What the site can’t do is find slots if they don’t exist or are already booked up.

I obviously gave the site a test run to review Shopping Slot and make sure it works.

Unfortunately, there were no delivery slots near me, but that doesn’t mean the overall concept doesn’t work.

There is no way they can create new slots if there aren’t any new ones.

What the site isn’t able to do is hold, reserve or prioritise the slots.

If you do have slots in your area, you need to remember it’s only available at that exact moment in time.

That means, if it shows a slot is available to get food delivered, you need to head to the supermarket site to book in your delivery.

To speed things up, it’s worth making sure you’ve already got an account with the supermarket.

Don’t want to keep refreshing?

If you don’t want to keep an eye on this new online delivery search engine, they can do it for you.

Shopping Slot review the availability of delivery slots and will send you an email as soon as one becomes available for your postcode.

But, signing up to get emails is not free, and you will need to pay a monthly subscription.

It’ll cost £2.19 per month, but you get a 7 day free trial to test it out first to see if it works for you.

Remember, just being able to search for shopping slots is free.

As part of the subscription, you’ll save time not having to go and check their site for slots and will get an email notification as soon as a new delivery slot becomes available.

You’re able to cancel at any time, and they’re giving 20% of profits to support the NHS.

The government has now released its list of clinically vulnerable people who qualify for support during the coronavirus crisis. Supermarket bosses will have received this list and will be in the process of contacting their vulnerable customers to offer them priority booking for online shopping services. If you're a vulnerable person or live with someone who is, you may be looking for advice on what to do next regards grocery shopping. We've rounded up information from five major supermarkets to help…

Sainsbury's

The latest information on Sainsbury's blog says: 'We are giving our customers who are vulnerable priority access to our online home delivery service. So far we’ve been able to identify and prioritise hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people across the UK.

'The government have identified and shared with us the customers who they consider the most vulnerable, and we’re in the process of contacting these customers to offer them priority access to home delivery slots. We are waiting for the databases for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and will contact vulnerable customers in those areas as soon as we are able.'

Sainsbury's has a number to call if you haven't received a vulnerable person letter

How do I book a Sainsbury's home delivery slot for a vulnerable person?

You need to follow instructions from the text message or letter you received to register as vulnerable on the government's website. If you didn't get contacted, you can register at gov.uk, and then contact your GP to request a letter. If you haven't been contacted by Sainsbury's already, then you should be soon.

There is a Sainsbury's phone number to call for the Careline should you need it. Understandably, Sainsbury's is currently experiencing high levels of demand for the service, but the number to call is 0800 328 1700 and is available Monday to Sunday 8am-11pm.

Tesco

Tesco's CEO Dave Lewis said: 'On Thursday, we were given an initial list of 110,000 clinically and socially isolated people by the Government. From these, we were able to match 75,000 existing customers and we’ve already contacted them to let them know we’re making home delivery slots immediately available to them. As we receive more data from Government, we’ll make even more slots available.'

Tesco has contacted its vulnerable customers

How do I book a Tesco delivery slot for a vulnerable person?

To book a slot, you need to go to tesco.com/groceries and log in. Vulnerable customers can book a priority slot with an eight-hour window for delivery.

If you don't currently have an account with Tesco but have received a letter from the NHS because you're classified as clinically vulnerable, you can create an account on their website or call Tesco on 0800 917 7359. The store can then check if you are on the government's list.

Ocado

A representative for Ocado told HELLO!: 'We have received the government’s vulnerable shield list and have cross-referenced it with our customer database to help support those in need. We have already identified our customers on the vulnerable list and reached out to offer them delivery slots with ocado.com. We will continue to do our part as the government updates its shield list.'

You can reach Ocado on the 'Contact Us' section of their website

How do I book an Ocado delivery slot for a vulnerable person?

Follow the instructions you have received from Ocado's correspondence with you. If you haven't heard from the online supermarket, visit gov.uk to register onto the government’s list. Ocado also suggests getting in touch with them using their 'Contact Us' online form.

Asda

The Asda website says: 'We have been working closely with the DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and some of our fellow supermarkets for the last couple of weeks to understand how to ensure essentials reach those with no support network.

'The data we’ve received from the UK Government has allowed us to email our customers to offer first access to delivery slots, ensuring they get what they need while they stay safe at home. We’re also working on similar programmes for customers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.'

How do I book an Asda delivery slot for a vulnerable person?

A representative for Asda told HELLO!: 'People who’ve been identified on the government’s vulnerable person list will have received either an email or a letter and all the information they need is in there.'

In terms of booking a slot, Asda's website says: 'During this busy time we'll only show slots for the next 7 days to allow us to prioritise our most vulnerable customers.'

Like other supermarkets, Morrison's vulnerable customers will have received communication from them about priority online booking. The store is adding a fast track queue system so its vulnerable customers can be prioritised.

Morrisons is launching a telephone ordering service

The chain has introduced other measures to help vulnerable customers too. On March 23, the store launched a new range of food boxes containing grocery and household essentials for home delivery. There are five variations of food box, with prices ranging from £30 to £45.

Morrisons is also launching a customer call centre for orders to be taken over the phone so that people who do not shop online can still order food. In the meantime, their online shopping customer number is 0345 322 0000.
