Tesco has increased its online delivery slots by 20 per cent in the last few weeks, adding 145,000 new slots. That takes its total to 780,000, with 'thousands more becoming available every day,' said Tesco CEO Dave Lewis.
In a similar response, Asda has increased its capacity, adding 300,000 food delivery slots for a total of 700,000.

How to get a food delivery slot
Though you may be reluctant to do so, most supermarkets are requesting that you visit stores in person, if you can, so they can prioritise food delivery slots for elderly or vulnerable customers. Some retailers, such as Waitrose, have closed their websites to new customers to help them do this. Others, including Sainsbury's, have been in touch with loyalty card holders who are aged over 70.
If you're a vulnerable person - or you know someone who is - you can register for support on the government's website. Tesco is prioritising orders for people on the government's vulnerable list, and will be in touch with anyone who is by email.
If you need to order food online, our best advice is to keep checking the website of your local supermarket throughout the day. If you can sign up for an account, do so: this will make it easier for you to find a delivery slot in future. Book your delivery slot first to avoid disappointment, and once you have one, most supermarkets give you around an hour to place your order.
Finally, if you can't get hold of a grocery delivery slot, don't forget there are some fantastic meal delivery services still operating too. Recipe box services like Mindful Chef deliver fresh ingredients to your door for you to cook, while meal delivery companies such as Allplants will drop off meals that have been cooked by their chefs.
When will more online grocery delivery slots become permanently available? Unfortunately, no one knows for sure. However, the major supermarkets are working around the clock to improve the supply chain, and while it currently looks like it'll continue to be difficult to book food delivery slots, we have seen slots appear at supermarkets across the country throughout the day.
We're assessing the situation daily, and we'll tell you which supermarkets are offering food delivery slots, if and when we see them.
Please remember to use all food delivery services responsibly. Only order what you need to preserve stocks for others who might be in need.
Grocery delivery: our process
We signed up to all the major supermarkets below and created a shopping basket full of popular goods. Every day, we compare five different locations - London, Leeds, Portsmouth, Manchester and Bath - to provide a sense of what stock is available in each area and whether delivery slots are currently offered. Here's the latest on which supermarkets are offering online grocery delivery today...
Tesco
Next delivery slot: some slots are available 20-26 April - new slots are added throughout the day (last updated 14/04/20)
Update 17/04/20: We're seeing good availability for Tesco delivery slots based on our research, with order dates available from April 20 to April 26 at a variety of times.
Tesco has expanded its food delivery and click-and-collect capacity to around 780,000 delivery slots. Our research has found a few Tesco home delivery slots popping up occasionally, but we're not currently seeing any in the areas we're testing. Hopefully this changes as Tesco expands its capacity.
Tesco CEO Dave Lewis reached out to customers in a message two weeks ago: 'We know that it's difficult right now to get a delivery slot for online shopping. We are at full capacity for the next few weeks and we ask those who are able to safely come to stores to do so, instead of shopping online, so that we can start to free up more slots for the more vulnerable.'
Tesco has a decent selection of food items online, but getting hold of them at the moment can be tricky. Most brands are in stock, but eggs, hand soap and pasta are the exception, with some items sold out.
According to Tesco, new food delivery slots are offered up as and when they're available each day.
How to sign up for an account
Enter a valid email address and password, and confirm whether you have a Clubcard or not. You’ll receive one automatically upon registering if you don't. Fill in your personal details, including your phone number and UK Postcode. You can then select if you’d like to receive offers and vouchers from Tesco or not.
Benefits and perks
Online shoppers can collect Clubcard points and Tesco has begun price matching Aldi on both its own-brand and branded products. A Delivery Saver pass is also available for regular customers, and comes with the added benefit of priority delivery slots during the busy Christmas and Easter periods.
Coronavirus measures and policies
Customers who shop online are encouraged to shop in-store where possible to help free up delivery slots for the elderly customers and those who are self-isolating.
Due to increased demand, Tesco isn’t accepting any new Delivery Saver customers right now either. A restriction of only three items per customer on every product line is in place, and multi-buy promotions have also been removed.
An 80 items limit is now in place for all online orders.
Sainsbury's
Next delivery slot: only click-and-collect slots available (last updated 17/04/20)
Update 17/04/20: Sainsbury's are still only offering click & collect slots only, as they continue to prioritise the elderly and vulnerable. We had seen the occasional free food delivery slot appear during our research, but there are none available at this time.
Unless you’re already registered as a Sainsbury’s online customer, Sainsbury’s has paused all new online registrations. Sainsbury's has also almost doubled the amount of food delivery and click-and-collect slots on offer.
In a message to customers, Sainsbury's Chief Executive Mike Coupe has provided more insight into how the company is delivering to the elderly or vulnerable: 'Many of you have written to me to tell me you are elderly or vulnerable and are struggling to book online delivery slots. We are doing our absolute best to offer online delivery slots to elderly, disabled and vulnerable customers. These customers have priority over all slots.'
Sainsbury's revealed that their customer Careline has had 'one year's worth of contacts in two weeks'. Mike Coupe went on to add, 'I apologise to our regular online customers, who I know are feeling very frustrated at not being able to book slots. Please bear with us and I hope you can understand why we feel the need to prioritise elderly and vulnerable customers at the moment.'
How to sign up for an account

Asda
Next delivery slot: none currently available (last updated 17/04/20)
Update (17/04/20): Despite increasing its online capacity to provide an extra 300,000 delivery slots, we're still not seeing any Asda home delivery or click & collect slots during our research.
In an email to customers, Asda CEO Roger Burnley has shared some information regarding how the company is working to deliver online shopping: 'We're providing our drivers with hand sanitiser and gloves, and making as many online shopping slots available as we can. We're encouraging those that are able to safely shop in person to do so - this allows us to deliver to the highly vunerable.'
Roger Burnely went on to add 'If you are self-isolating or have additional needs, please advise us in the 'other information' section when placing your order.'

The online supermarket has seemingly ditched its queuing system in favour of a daily update that states whether or not delivery slots are available.
Ocado has also brought order cut-off times forward, so customers are encouraged to complete their order in one session to avoid disappointment later. In an email to existing customers on 25 March, Ocado Retail CEO Melanie Smith has said that 'no matter how hard we work, we will not have enough capacity to serve the unprecedented levels of demand'.
She went on to say that 'new delivery slots will be released every day for the coming week, as and when we have capacity'.
It's currently unclear whether Ocado is allowing new customers. If you do not have a delivery booked already, Ocado's website notes that there is 'limited availability over the next few days'.
How to sign up for an account
