Britain's major supermarkets have insisted there is no need to panic buy essentials as fears of a second lockdown rise.
Delivery slots have become harder to track down in recent days, while some shoppers snapped shots of shelves being emptied at supermarkets over the weekend.
But store bosses have said there is no need to panic buy - after massively ramping up their delivery capacity and introducing new measures to keep the nation fed since the pandemic hit.
Andrew Opie from the British Retail Consortium told Mirror Money: “Retailers have done an excellent job in ensuring customers have access to the food and necessities throughout this pandemic.
"Supermarkets have put in place a range of safety measures to protect staff and customers. In the event of future lockdowns we urge consumers to be considerate and shop for food as they would usually during this difficult time.”
Morrisons told Mirror Money it still had slots available - adding it had massively increased capacity over the past six months.
A spokesperson said: "Our online and home delivery offer expanded at unprecedented pace, with order capacity up fivefold during the first half."
The supermarket added that it also now has more ways to get food to people than ever before.
There are now 280 Morrisons offering click and collect (up from 6 in March), it's introduced a food box system, extended partnerships with Amazon and introduced one with Deliveroo.
"Most customers across Britain have access to several different options, with almost every Morrisons supermarket now offering at least one home delivery service," the spokesperson said.
Asda has also introduced a food box service - as well as massively ramping up home delivery slots from 450,000 to over 700,000.
The store said as things stand it's not seeing evidence of panic buying.
Over at Sainsbury's, there has been a 50% increase in delivery and click and collect capacity, along with expanding it's Chop Cop delivery service to 20 cities.
A Sainsbury’s spokesman told Mirror Money: “We can now serve twice as many people with home delivery and Click & Collect as we could six months ago and can reassure our customers there is good availability for slots and products in ours stores.”
Tesco said it has good availability in stores and online and is not experiencing any shortages at the moment. The supermarkets has also more than doubled its weekly online delivery slots from 600,000 to 1.5million.
Even Aldi has got in on the delivery game - partnering with Deliveroo to get food to people's doors, as well as introducing a food box service and click and collect options for the first time - as well as keeping all the measures it put in place during the initial stages of lockdown active.
