Page 3 | Tesco Xmas slots open at 6am 04/11 for delivery savers

When are we all logging in? I’m ordering food to order from Durham which covers a massive area so slots always go quick. I have done the Tesco online list so I can just slam the food to order through then plan to do the rest later. I plan to login at 5amish on laptop.

I’ve just done mine now as I can’t be bothered to get up for 6am, there were loads of slots. The battle for slots doesn’t seem to be a thing any more?

Odd because they don't deliver on the 24th.

That is odd! Wonder how I managed to book a slot.

They probably just don’t in your area. I am the same but loads of places deliver on 24th

Is that right? I'd wondered why there wasn't a single slot available on 24th but all other days were fully available.

Just logged on now. Took 3 mins and have reserved 3 slots including one on 24th. Happy days.

‘Should’ they? 😂 Why?

Show quote history

Because they say slots open at 6am, not you can bagsy first dabs if you log on two days before😂! Having the saver plan gives you priority access, but some people seem to think they should be able to try to gain an additional advantage over others anyway.

PinkElephants356 · 04/11/2025 07:24

For anyone that’s interested I didn’t have a saver pass so couldn’t see Christmas slots but bought one today and then could see them and book a slot.

Ive followed someone’s advice on here that it’s best to do a morning one as less likely substitutions, I hope that’s correct?

IndigoDynamo · 04/11/2025 07:23

I completely missed any mention of this this year. Really grateful for the thread. Booked and sorted.

I think the website has crashed 🤣 at least on my phone app it has… can’t seem to save my basket. I have a saved slot though.

It’s not the Boxing Day sales, where people who are there for hours/days get in first. The queue opens at 6am and everyone logged in should randomly be put in the queue then, not in order of when they logged in.

Well that's not very British.

The app worked perfectly for me, the website not so much. I hope people using the website didn't have the same problem!

I was the opposite. I got in within 5 minutes on website but app on iPhone was just a spinning wheel.

Would you start queuing for a concert at the time it started? 😉

Got in on the app after 40 mins. But there's no Xmas slots. Only goes up to 24th November. I'm fuming!!

Do you have a delivery pass? It opens earlier for pass holders. Did you get an email to say you have access?

That’s a shame. Ive always found the process efficient, it was really quick for me and all dates and times were available. We never usually have subs at Xmas so I hope it’s the same this year.

Show quote history

Last year was great so I assumed they’d ironed out any wrinkles which is probably why I was unpleasantly surprised this year. I will add, our ‘crazy number of subs’ year was before we moved house - the branch that is our local branch now seems much better - but I’ve never wanted to test the theory 🤣🤣

GurlWithACurl · 04/11/2025 06:59

Just sat in a 45 minute queue but didn’t realise I’m the wrong kind of customer. Feel really stupid now!

Do you not have a saver plan?

I finally managed to get on an hour later and all of the 22nd was still available so need not have got up so early!

spanieleyes · 04/11/2025 06:53

Just booked but the latest slot I could get was Monday morning. Still, I can get the bulk of dry/frozen goods then and just get the perishable ones later!

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 04/11/2025 06:50

Record time for me. Started off saying I'd be in the queue for 13 minutes, but I was in before ten past and checked out before 6.15am.

Screwyoucolin · 04/11/2025 06:46

I am still not in. Over an hour now and all I keep getting is error on the website - am waiting on the app but doubt there will be any slots left - never had it this bad before.

I book Christmas slots through Tesco every year and thought the experience this year was particularly poor.

Was online at 5am (normal wake up time), closer to 6 got a blank screen with a spinning wheel, had no choice but to refresh at which point I’m presented with over an hours wait 🙄🙄

Time went down quicker than that but by the time I got in, I could only get a 10am slot on my chosen day which is too late for me - I find that when I get a slot other than first thing, the level of subs is too high (I once had an evening slot and got a full page of subs. Never again!!)

Managed to get a slot the day before my chosen day, but not a great experience this year Tesco - in the world of virtual cloud computing where servers can basically be switched on and off at the touch of a button (yes I know that’s a simplification before anyone has a pop ), I’m really not sure why this is still such a rigmarole every year.

The queue went down quite quickly for me, but nothing is showing available after 1st December.

Christmas delivery slots are only open this morning for Anytime Delivery Saver customers.
