The big day is quickly approaching and with it comes the stress of preparing for a festive feast. Luckily, many supermarkets now offer the convenience of delivering your holiday food right to your front door. This can certainly take some pressure off, but it's also become incredibly popular. As a result, it's important to plan ahead and book your delivery slot early.
One such supermarket, Waitrose, has already released their Christmas delivery slots and they're filling up fast. In fact, the 23rd and 24th seem to be almost fully booked. To help you plan, we've gathered information from three major supermarkets - Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Asda - on when you can book your festive food delivery.
Let's start with Sainsbury's. Some of their slots have already been booked, as they offered their loyal "Delivery Pass" customers first access to Christmas home delivery and click-and-collect slots last week. For non-pass holders, bookings will open this Wednesday. Delivery dates are available between December 18th and 24th, and customers can make changes to their orders until 11pm the day before their scheduled delivery.
For Tesco customers, the wait won't be much longer. "Delivery Pass" customers can book their slots starting at 6am on Tuesday, November 5th, while everyone else can book from 6am on November 12th. This year, Tesco has added thousands of extra home delivery slots in the two weeks leading up to Christmas and has even increased their delivery fleet by 60 more vans. It's worth noting that not all Tesco stores offer delivery on December 24th.
Asda is also gearing up for a busy holiday season and is giving priority to their "Delivery Pass" customers. These customers had the opportunity to book their festive slots starting on October 15th, while non-pass holders can book from tomorrow, October 22nd. Asda is offering over 1 million home delivery and click-and-collect slots in the week before Christmas. The minimum online spend for home deliveries is £40 and for click-and-collect, it's £25. Changes to your order can be made until 11pm the day before your delivery or collection.
If you're wondering about other supermarkets, Morrisons is already taking bookings for all customers, while Ocado and M&S opened up their slots back in September. According to their website, M&S's slots are filling up quickly. Iceland, on the other hand, is keeping it cool and won't release their slots until mid-December. It's important to plan ahead and book your delivery slot early to ensure a stress-free holiday season.
