All you need to know about our delivery service
Sainsburys have not yet confirmed a release date for delivery slots but following previous years patterns it is set to be mid-late November. Last year slots for December 20 opened on November 29 and then moved on day by day. Customers can find out the dates in the Christmas Delivery Guide via their Groceries Online account. “Supermarket delivery slots are set to be one of the big sources of complaint in the next few weeks, simply because there is a finite number of slots for a large number of people.”. Delivery slots are open to book 3 weeks in advance (21 days) on our website. You can book multiple slots as long as each order has met the £25 minimum spend and is checked out with your chosen delivery slot. We are looking at ways to allow customers to automatically book regular slots and will update you when this is possible.

Our Driver will deliver to any floor of your residential building providing it is safe to do so. If the driver has safety concerns they will discuss alternative options with you for that delivery. The store will then contact you to discuss future deliveries.
Our drivers are equipped to make a reasonable adjustment to make a delivery where there are no lifts or those in place are not working, but will complete a dynamic risk assessment on each delivery to ensure it is safe and practical to make that delivery. The driver will consider any potential safety issues such as width and condition of the stairs and any risk to their personal safety.
Please note the service does not extend to unpacking your shopping or entering the home at this time.
For deliveries to customers at a business address, we are only able to deliver to the ground floor communal entrance of your business, but are unfortunately not able to come up to your desk or place of work. If your business has a shared ground floor reception, this is the point to which we will deliver.
