No, it's quite sensible to do the basket first. If your slot is not available just wait a day or two and try again with the same basket. The vast majority of people have more than enough for a week in their cupboards and do not need to book right now. Ocado has slots for existing customers. They took a while to get it right but they now have limits on orders per week and show you slots for the next few days. If they are empty just try again later and your basket is still there. I had a delivery a couple of days ago. I hope not too many people try to subvert systems like this with a script to grab slots, because they're just contributing to the problem.
