Cant see another thread....

So they open at 0600 tomorrow. How long do you think we'll be stuck in a queue to get one. And will all the good ones be gone by the time we do

I'm setting my alarm for 0530 I think 🤔

The queue number is going down steadily however

CannotDrop · 16/11/2021 06:03

Looks like it’s going to be another debacle when people get in earlier without a queue! I’m number 2732 and it says I have a 30 minute wait

FredaFox · 16/11/2021 06:03

Mine has changed to more than an hour, never missed out before, hope I'm not disappointed

MrsTxx · 16/11/2021 06:04

Sat since 5am waiting on both phone and iPad, 1700 in the queue. Got DH to randomly check on his phone while he gets ready for work and didn’t even have to queue. Wtf, hope everyone manages to get sorted x

Gettingusedtothelimelight · 16/11/2021 06:04

Now saying more than an hours wait 😕

Was 25500 now 24912

MissSmiley · 16/11/2021 06:04

Do any of you get an email to tell you when this is happening? I've been a delivery saver customer for years and only ever find out the date on mumsnet

FlyingFlamingo · 16/11/2021 06:04

It’s moving quickly, I’m down to 26 minutes

FlyingFlamingo · 16/11/2021 06:05

I had an email

toolazytothinkofausername · 16/11/2021 06:05

This is why I have Waitrose as a back up :)

Myshitisreal · 16/11/2021 06:05

Got mine booked on the app at 545. Website is still showing 32000 on the queue for over an hr from now.. I used 2 phones.

riverofsweetcorn · 16/11/2021 06:06

Booked on the app for the 23rd

Trumpton · 16/11/2021 06:06

Estimated waiting time more than an hour. I wonder if it’s regional. I know we are woefully short of drivers and vans here. I normally have to book 3/4 weeks in advance

marble11 · 16/11/2021 06:06

I went on the app at 5 59am and was able to book 2 slots on 2 different accounts. Try the app, there was no queue. Whereas my browser says an hour wait.

HeyDuddy · 16/11/2021 06:07

I’m 114,000 in the queue. Not looking promising here

maggienolia · 16/11/2021 06:07

Got in on the app first - Thursday 10-11. Normally the website connects first but not this year.
All sorted for another year.

nicky2512 · 16/11/2021 06:07

It’s definitely random. I went on just after 5.30. Got straight on then ten minutes later screen changed to say in queue. Now saying more than an hour!

kleew1 · 16/11/2021 06:07

I am number 104638 in the website queue. Just downloade the app and booked immediately!! Get on the app everyone Star

SophieHatterPendragon · 16/11/2021 06:08

@Trumpton it’s the same in my area you have to book weeks in advance to get a slot (why in usually use Morrison’s) but I’ve realised you can usually check a day or two ahead of when you want a shop and they have slots in the incoming days (cancellations I assume)

I got the app, tried to sign in and it went to a queue :(
IntemperateSpirits · 16/11/2021 06:08

I am 109151 in the queue on the pc - but I've just gone straight in on the app and booked 16th and 23rd December.

Lollolloll · 16/11/2021 06:08

Every year this annoys me.

How do you get a delivery pass? I’ve never seen how to get one and can never get a slot anywhere near Christmas.

We have shopped at Tesco for 20+ years and get a weekly delivery. Must have spent thousands. Barely ever go to the actual store except at sodding Christmas when I’m working and don’t have the time!

user1471530109 · 16/11/2021 06:09

Wow. I just thought it wasn't too bad this year! I also managed to book about 5.50 on app for Thursday 23rd. The 24th had no slots available.

I'm sorry some of you are stuck in a queue Brew. In covid lockdowns, I used to have as many devices open and logged in as possible. Unusually got one through and booked before the others had got in.

KnottyKnitting · 16/11/2021 06:09

GoodnightGrandma I already filled my basket yesterday so hopefully can just grab a slot when I get to the front but not hopeful as says an hour wait - didn't realise you needed to join a queue or I would have gone on the app sooner! 16754 and counting!

LazyDaisy22 · 16/11/2021 06:09

I also booked on the app just before 6am. I was going to say don’t wait in the queue on the website, go straight to the app but the app is now showing a queue as well.

SophieHatterPendragon · 16/11/2021 06:09

I’m on the app and have been on a queue since 5:40 so it seems random. I bet if I close it and reopen it I’ll be back ina. Queue so I’ll just wait 🤦🏻‍♀️
