Hi @mollygannon1903 Welcome to the community, & thank you for joining. Some supermarket slots seem to become available about midnight, or later. The problem just is demand for online delivery slots has increased dramatically due to the current pandemic.With Tesco I've found a few slots become available after midnight on a Sunday in my area. With other supermarkets just keep checking online as to their availability.There's also some info on Scope about getting online deliveries. See: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/70059/getting-food-and-essentials-during-coronavirusPlease also look at the links my friend thespiceman has provided above. Hope this helps, & please keep in touch to let us all know how you get on.

Tesco have just sent out an email.
They still adding more slots, up to a million a week now, and 1.2 million will be reached in 3-4 weeks.
They are also adding a new priority tier outside of the government list, no details how this will work yet.
