Iceland Home Delivery Slots Available
I am 66yrs old with medical conditions, and I am self isolating. I just want to ask you all to leave the slots for others if you ARE able to do your own shopping. People are allowed out to shop. I have tried to get a delivery slot on all the supermarket websites and cannot get a slot. I try them all every 15 mins, but no luck.
Tesco offers home delivery with a minimum spend of £25 - but as of April 3, delivery slots are sold out until April 23. Click+Collect slots are also unavailable. Supermarkets have released advice on delivery slots for the week beginning 11 January. Iceland and Morrison's has confirmed there are still delivery slots available but in limited numbers, while. Iceland has increased home deliveries by 300% with 750,000 home deliveries each week. Slots are released six days in advance; although many were available for ‘next day’ delivery when we checked.
Stop checking at midnight or refreshing the supermarket sites, this new tool shows you available online delivery slots and click and collect near you.
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.

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.

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.
