Sainsbury's Christmas delivery slots 2020: Date when slots open to book, delivery dates and more

Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has confirmed the date when its customers will be able to book its Christmas delivery slots this year.

Unlike other supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's is yet to release it slots and instead will stagger them this year.

From November 29, Sainsbury's will begin opening its slots for bookings initially for December 20 it will then continue to release dates up until December 23.

Customers hoping to get a slot will need to log into their Sainsbury's account here.

No payment will be taken until the day of delivery or collection and shoppers can log into their account and amend their baskets as many times as they wish up until 11pm the day before their delivery date.

Sainsbury's online delivery is closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day with the last delivery date being December 23.

Shoppers will still be able to use the Click and Collect system to pick up their orders in stores on Christmas Eve if they want to wait as close to Christmas Day as possible.

Earlier this month, Tesco released its Christmas Delivery slots and was met with such a high demand its customers were left in a virtual queue for more than one hour.

An hour after the slots went live Tesco issued a message to customers through its official Twitter account where it informed them a virtual waiting room had been set up.

By 8.30am, Tesco's website became so busy people struggled to access it at all.
