Asda warn Christmas delivery slots already booked up - act now supermarket cautions ASDA is warning its customers that most of its Christmas slots are full. It is urging those who need the slots. Asda have already released their Christmas delivery slots - so you'll need to act quickly. The supermarket giant has launched the dates earlier than usual as last year they went live on November 19. But some areas are already fully booked for Christmas week (December 20-24).

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

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.

Three days ahead

Waitrose - used to be in partnership with Ocado but not any more.

So it might well be looking to expand times in due course.

For slots, it said it is 'advising customers to check each morning'.

Shoppers surveyed said they had success from 6am to 8am as well as randomly during the day.

Morrisons - shoppers top tip was to try just after midnight

Five days ahead

Co-op - told Martin Lewis that 'slots are launched every day, at around midnight'.

Seven days ahead

Iceland - the company said times were specific to stores, so Martin Lewis's 'Forumites' reported different results in tandem.

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.

21 days ahead

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.

Top tips include logging on ten minutes early and then trying to book after midnight.

Booking an Asda home delivery slot still remains a challenge, but the supermarket chain has shown good availability for click & collect orders.

In an attempt to prioritise its most vulnerable customers, Asda is working with the government's vulnerable person database and offering customers who have registered on it a priority pass. These enable customers to set up a regular weekly home delivery slot at Asda, with shopping delivered contact free.

Asda is also only showing home delivery slots for the next seven days. If you need to order food from Asda online, the best advice is to check back regularly for new food delivery slots to open up – or, if you can, visit a physical store during Asda's opening hours.

Asda opening hours

Asda has temporarily reduced the opening hours of its stores to 08:00 to 20:00, Monday to Saturday. What about Asda opening hours for NHS and care workers? The company is prioritising these customers in its larger stores every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 08:00 to 09:00.

During Asda's opening hours, the number of customers allowed in stores will be limited at any one time so that social distancing can be adhered to. Asda has also increased the payment limit amount on credit and debit card contactless payment to £45.

If you can't visit a physical store and need to book an Asda home delivery online, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances. Here, we'll run through the best ways to try and get an Asda home delivery, and we’ll explain how Asda's click and collect service works too.

Asda has introduced a new food box service, likely inspired by its supermarket rival, Morrisons. For £30, you can order an Asda food box full of 31 items that range from cupboard fillers to household staples. Simply create an account or log in, select the cupboard filler box and pick a delivery time that suits you.

How to get an Asda home delivery slot

Both Asda’s home delivery and click & collect services now offer contactless delivery and collection to help reduce the spread of Covid-19. Like the majority of supermarkets, Asda is prioritising the elderly and vulnerable when it comes to allocating delivery slots.

The company is continuing to increase its capacity following a recruitment drive, which has added an extra 300,000 home delivery slots to its website. A total of 700,000 slots will now be released each week, according to the Mirror. The best advice, though, is to simply keep checking Asda’s website to see whether any slots are available.

For those who are self-isolating, Asda has introduced a Volunteer Shopping Card. You can buy the card online, send it to your volunteer of choice and they can do your shop for you. No cash changes hands, and the card can be used contactlessly in-store using a barcode. It can also be topped up with extra funds online and no bank or credit card details are exchanged.

If you do manage to find an Asda home delivery slot, bear in mind that Asda has reduced the window in which you can amend an order to two days before its due date. You’ll also have less time to make any amends, with the cut off time now 10pm the day before your order is due. Customers are advised to make one amendment to their order, and only if it’s urgent.

How does Asda click-and-collect work?

If you’d like to use Asda's click-and-collect service, simply select your groceries with Asda online and select click and collect before you check out. Again, slots aren't as readily available as we'd like, but keep checking back regularly for new updates.
