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 🤔

My wait time has just gone up from 8 minutes to 40 minutes. I'm number 27k, was number 180l at 6am

MrsRaulEsparza · 16/11/2021 06:56

I joined just before 6am and was down to a a 7 minute wait, that's just jumped up to 35 minutes! At least the queue number hasn't changed....

Xmasfairy86 · 16/11/2021 06:56

Mines just gone from 18 mins to go back up to ‘more than an hour’ 😭😭
I was so smug last year 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Ryannah · 16/11/2021 06:56

Started queuing at 5.55am and got on at 6.50am, already no slots left for the 23rd and 24th. The best I could do was the 22nd. Very disappointing, especially when others seem to have bypassed the queue.

feliznavidad2 · 16/11/2021 06:57

It now says on mine, the queue is 'paused' HmmConfused

letstryagainnow · 16/11/2021 06:58

That was so frustrating. I was on the app by 5.50 and had the desktop site open too. I've only just managed to get in. No delivery slots left for my usual 23rd. Have had to go for a click and collect instead. My sister was lucky as she she was also queuing and then by chance tried to open the app on her boyfriends phone and got straight in with no wait while still being stuck in the waiting room on the other devices. What a faff!

pifflepaffle13 · 16/11/2021 06:58

@EasterIssland mine's not letting me pay either, so frustrating!!

Tyredofallthis1 · 16/11/2021 06:58

Bugger, forgot about this and was 18000 and something in the queue and about to go out on the school run (takes an hour)

Fingers crossed I get something when I get back. I've got a basket ready to check out.

SilverGlassHare · 16/11/2021 06:58

When I went on the app I just got an error message when I tried to book a slot! Luckily I managed to get a decent slot anyway by queueing.

my pc one as well and my phone one isn't letting me pay says something went wrong

not feliz navidad here!

AnkleDeep · 16/11/2021 06:58

Queue paused, FFS.

Xmasfairy86 · 16/11/2021 06:58

And now ‘the queue is paused’ - what even does that mean…??!!

IcedCoffeeAlways · 16/11/2021 06:59

Just jumped from 14 minute wait to “more than an hour” even though the number has gone down.

Anyone in just now - are you managing to book for the week between Christmas and new year? That’s all I want - you can all have the Christmas slots 🤣🤣

DH works offshore and leaves on boxing day morning for 6 weeks. I don’t drive, Have a 1 year old, I’m having to work 5 days that week, my usual childcare has just decided they can’t do that week and I just need something that week to make my life easier 🤣🤣 make it easy for me Tesco! 🤞🏼

rainbowandglitter · 16/11/2021 06:59

I hot straight on at 5.45, no queue and booked mine

ClaraLane · 16/11/2021 07:00

I’ve got one on the 22nd but it’s not letting me pay either.

EasterIssland · 16/11/2021 07:00

@IcedCoffeeAlways im not trying to book those dates but i can see there are slots

farnworth · 16/11/2021 07:01

Queue paused here too for past 5 mins 🙄😡

I had queue is paused at 540 this morning, assume it's when the queue/site is at capacity and not taking more? Mine soon changed to the time countdown again
Ryannah · 16/11/2021 07:02

are you managing to book for the week between Christmas and new year?
I can only see up to Mon 27th so that week hasn’t been released yet. I normally book that slot at the same time as Xmas, so now wondering when they will be released? Don’t want to miss it!

I can book up to 27th Dec
Edjut · 16/11/2021 07:03

Slots will depend on the local delivery store though, not the position in the queue

EasterIssland · 16/11/2021 07:03

just managed to get 22nd and 15th.

@IcedCoffeeAlways sorry only 27th available

Xmasfairy86 · 16/11/2021 07:03

Patience is not a virtue I possess right now 🤣

FredaFox · 16/11/2021 07:04

Since booking my slot on the app and queued to get on it I can now go in and out the app no problem and no queue
