THE busiest time of the year to bag a supermarket delivery slot is at Christmas.
To avoid disappointment, supermarkets have been letting shoppers book delivery slots from the start of November.
When these delivery slots do become available, they can go fast.
Last year, Tesco shoppers were furious after some of the supermarket’s Christmas delivery slots sold out within minutes.
Customers with a monthly “delivery saver” subscription were able to book prime slots for the days before December 25 a week in advance of other shoppers.
Shoppers stayed up until midnight on Monday and Tuesday 2018 to book Christmas delivery slots for December 23 and 24, which is when they became available to all customers for the first time.
There were many complaints that slots in their areas were already sold out as soon as they went live at one minute past midnight.
