Food delivery: which grocery and meal delivery services have slots right now?

Demand for food delivery and click & collect slots is still higher than normal, but as lockdown measures continue to ease and more people make their way to the supermarkets, the situation should start to improve. 

Availability still tends to vary greatly day-by-day, and is also affected by your location and particular supermarket of choice. There has been a noticeable increase in free home delivery slots in general, though –  however, some supermarkets are still struggling to cope, with Ocado in particular only emailing customers if and when slots become available.

Both Morrisons and Asda have launched a food box service to help cope with demand. Morrisons food boxes offer a great range of options, while Asda’s food box is best if you need to fill your cupboards with household essentials.

If you’re an Amazon Prime customer, you can also order Morrisons products through Amazon Prime Now in some areas of the UK. If you don’t have a Prime membership, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime, and cancel before the trial ends with no strings attached.

To help identify elderly and vulnerable customers, supermarkets are using customer and government data to prioritise food delivery slots for those who need it most. Make sure you’ve signed up to the government’s database of clinically vulnerable people if you need support.
