What Happens If No Deliveries?
34 Answers
Been trying to get an Ocado delivery slot for a week without success.
What happens if we get to ‘the end’ and still no slots?
We’re old, self-isolating, no relations, etc. Do we take a chance and go foraging at local (empty) supermarkets. Used to be workhouses for the likes of us!

I don't think we're going to be on the government's List, as we're not cancer/transplant/etc patients, just moderately old and sick!
Maybe as supermarkets really DO get back towards normal, their click&collect sides will start functioning again, which as I say, will probably do for us.
I think we can hold out for ten - fourteen days yet, so we'll keep everything crossed.

can you get to Brent Cross from Wembley? I went to Waitrose there this morning and it was no trouble. Open to the old and vulnerable 9-10 every day, not a lot of people there but their shelves nearly full and everyone carefully keeping their distance. (Lots of loo rolls.)
Alternatively there's a mega Tesco by Ikea; their elderly hour is 9-10 Monday Wednesday and Friday. I haven't tried that so I don't know how crowded it gets.
Bednobs, one of the things about shopping in the first hour is that some of the products may have gone by later in the day. This may not be such a big issue now but it was very helpful a week ago.

Panic over.
Ocado said they’d ‘look after’ existing customers and we could have a delivery every seven days, and after confirming this week’s, sure enough we got a slot for a week ahead.
So if this is the pattern for the future, we’ll be fine (as long as Covid-19 keeps away).
Thanks again for all the help.
