hello all,
having pointed out the problem with the page for selecting a delivery slot
on the sainsbury website yesterday, i've been playing around on it and
found a way around the problem.
its quite easy if your booking a delivery during the coming week of the day
your doing it, but more long winded if your wanting to select a delivery
more than 7 days in advance.
this is down to the fact that sainsbur's look as if in just over a weeks
time they are going to allow you to choose a delivery in either one or two
hour segmonts.
thus for the next week there are only 6 time slots to choose from each day,
but when i booked a slot for13 days time there are 18 time slots to choose
from each day.
the way to get the time slot and day you want during the next week is to
follow this example.
all the listings are in order starting with the day after the actual day
your on their website, so presuming its this evening your on there, the
page will look like this:
friday 13 08
saturday 14 08
sunday 15 08
monday 16 08
tuesday 17 08
wednesday 18 08
thurs 19 08
10 am 12 pm
12 pm 2 pm
2 pm 4 pm
4 pm 6 pm
6 pm 8 pm
8 pm 10 pm
next there will be 42 lines of the page each with either just the letter x
on it or the link booktime.
they are in the following order.
the lines 1 through 7 are the 10 am 12 pm slots for the next 7 days
the lines 8 through 14 are the 12 pm 2 pm slots for the next 7 days.
and so on with each time slot grouped together covering 7 lines.
so if you want to book for next wednesday with a time slot of 12 pm 2 pm.
this would be the sixth day in the second time slot, so if there is a link
called booktime on the thirteenth line this would be the one you need.
don't forget to count the lines with just a letter x on them as well as the
ones that are a link.
the principle is the same if you want to book for more than a week in
advance, but when you click on week two instead of having 42 lines of x's
and links there will be 126 of them because of there being 18 different
time slots to choose from.
at the bottom of this message i have put a list of the 18 time slots in the
order they appear.
i'm sorry this has been rather long, but it may help someone to order their
shopping who doesn't have an alternitive.
pete.
