New website helps you find supermarket delivery slots if you’re struggling to get food delivered

SUPERMARKET shoppers who’ve been struggling to get online delivery slots can now use a nifty website to search multiple stores at the same time.

New store searcher Shopping Slot saves users the hassle of having to check delivery options on each individual supermarket website.

Co-founded this year by former Apprentice candidate Sabrina Stocker, the website first asks users to type in their postcode.

The website will then scan nearby supermarkets to find out which delivery slots are available.

Once it’s finished checking, it’ll then bring up your results so you can see which retailer you can get groceries delivered from.

The website asks you to enter your email address to see the results, but you don’t have to do this.

Instead, you can click “skip this step” to find out who is delivering.

Shopping Slot currently shows results from Asda, Iceland, Tesco and Waitrose.

The website doesn’t cover Morrisons, Ocado or Sainsbury’s, but it’s working on adding these supermarkets soon.

When The Sun checked Shopping Slot this morning using one London postcode, we were able to find four delivery times with Iceland.

The website showed Tesco, Asda and Waitrose had sold out of slots in our area.

Crucially, you can’t book delivery times through Shopping Slot, meaning you’ll need to go to the supermarket’s website to do this.

If you click on the delivery slot found by Shopping Slot, it will take you directly to the supermarket’s delivery page where you’ll be able to book the available time.

Shopping Slot also cannot hold, reserve or prioritise slots.

The website is free to use, and shoppers can search for delivery times as many times as they like.

However, it does offer a premium service where you’ll get automatic emails when slots become available in your area for £2.19 a month.

This subscription can be cancelled any time.

The website updates whenever a supermarket releases new slots, so it’s worth checking back regularly.

Sabrina Stocker, who co-founded Shopping Slot with software engineer Jason Moore, told The Sun the website was created from her sofa while the UK is on lockdown.

She said: “We hope this will help millions of shoppers, especially the vulnerable and elderly, to secure their home delivery spaces.

“I was able to book a next day delivery slot for my nan last week, from Iceland.”

Since launching on April 7, she says the website has helped find 68,790 delivery slots.

Shopping Slot also plans on expanding to smaller businesses to give users more delivery options.

It’s not currently available as an app to download on your phone.

We’ve also looked into a new app which helps shoppers avoid supermarket queues and checks if items are in stock.

Here’s what time the major supermarkets are opening at the moment.
