I have had two orders up to now without any trouble. When the virus is over I will stay with Iceland. However when I tried to book this week it was impossible to get a delivery slot. Every booking slot said “ Not Available”. I eventually got one after staying on the site all day. My friend went on their site very early this morning 5am and got a delivery slot straight away. Also a friend of mine who has an order delivered from Tesco’s had to stay on their site until 2am before she got a delivery slot. So does it help at what time one goes on their site ? Should I go on in the middle of the night ? Is there anyone on SF who is an expert on ordering a food delivery online ? Can you help me by giving me any tips ? Iceland email me when they are doing the vulnerable priority slots, this week it's 9am-11am Tuesday and Thursday, it's then open and accessible to the general public at 11am they aslo state in thier email that, We’re currently releasing delivery slots to the general public at 11am Monday to Friday.

Yes it's been very helpful, it's very week since the beginning of April, sometimes two or it's three emails with slots, a once week shop is all I need so I've not had any problems other than a few items out of stock, but even then they emailed and sent a code for £10 off a £50 shop.

Very good of them. Although I’ve had trouble getting slots , when I’ve got one, they email me to tell me, giving me a list of everything I’ve ordered and if there is anything out of stock, then the total price. They even email me on the day and time of delivery telling me “ Dear Patricia, Your order is on its way “ The delivery drivers have been very polite, so I tip them.. When the Coronavirus is over, I shall stay with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth looking on Thursday at 11am and see if theIr are more general slots available? the actual delivery procedure, texts and process is really good.

I got an email that told me my priority slot was 9am to 11 am today (Wednesday) but you're not guaranteed a slot. Didn't get one, so tried later to get any slot, and it says nothing available up to next Tuesday. But it says more slots coming soon. Last week I tried on the off-chance on Friday about 5pm and got a slot for the following morning. I think it must be just by chance, so just try whenever you can?

Iceland actual order/delivery was very good though, as others have said- its just actually getting your slot that can be hard. Try 11am every day just after they've allocated the priority slots, and then just as and when you can. That's what I'm doing this week. Good luck.
