There’s no doubt that getting a shopping delivery slot has been harder than usual since the UK went into lockdown eight weeks ago.

  • How can I change my 1 hour delivery slot? You can't change your timeslot but you can still get your parcel. We can leave your parcel somewhere safe at the delivery address, deliver it to your neighbour, drop it off at your local shop or change the delivery date provided the sender has not instructed us to get a signature.
  • DPD is the most innovative parcel carrier around. Thanks to our industry-leading Predict service, we provide parcel recipients with a one hour delivery window, notified by SMS and email, so they don't have to wait in all day.

If you’ve tried to schedule an Instacart grocery delivery (or even a curbside pickup) anytime during this near-nationwide ask to stay home, you may have noticed that it’s been pretty close to impossible to set something up. Time slots are either not available at all or only available in the decently distant future. With DPD I can check in the morning & if the time isn't suitable, I change it to the next day. I like RM best though because the delivery office is 3 minutes walk away. Similarly I order from Ocado with 1 hr slots ( & advance texts if products are out of stock) - most of the rest seem to have 2 hr slots which seems far more inconvenient. Morrisons food delivery: no slots available for the next three days. The food boxes are delivered by DPD, and are a great alternative if you don’t mind Morrisons own-brand food and want to.

In an attempt to take some of the stress away, Martin Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert.com has compiled a list of top tips.

The list shows how far ahead each supermarket releases its slots and how you might get your hands on one, reports BirminghamLive.

The supermarket with the longest lead time appears to be Tesco with a massive 21 days, which assumes you know what you’ll want to eat three weeks in advance.

Waitrose and Morrisons release their slots just three days ahead.

So you might know what you want to eat but will you then have enough time to get your order in before all of the slots are quickly taken?

Here’s how the supermarket giants are operating according to Moneysavingexpert.

Sainsbury's - told Martin Lewis that 'when the slots are released will vary - there isn't a specific time and it doesn't depend on the store'.

One follower reported success every Monday.

Ocado - the online supermarket was a former partner with Waitrose but recently jumped into bed with M&S and is due start selling its products, as well as its own, from September.

It said there wasn't a fixed time when they were released, but priority customers were emailed about availability.

Once they've had a chance to book, non-priority customers are notified - via a message on the home page - and are then able to book any remaining slots.

14 days ahead

Asda - revealed that slots update as and when they become available in each area. Popular times to get a slot were typically 10pm or midnight, though some followers said between 2am and 4am.

Tesco - Martin Lewis was told 'slots tend to be released at midnight for three weeks ahead' but that it's busy adding extra vans to create more slots.
