Anyone else in the queue?

I'm logged in for my Mum on one device - queue position 6235 & on my phone for myself - queue position 8901

Hope they start opening up soon 🤞🏻

Booted again and 205000!

I logged in at 5; on two Apps and the website after last years fiasco! The Apps put me straight in the queue when it opened at around 5.40ish. I was all done and dusted with an early slot for the 23rd by 6.18.

I'm 22536 with a 20 minute wait

MermaidEyes · 15/11/2022 06:32

Over an hour wait here. Bizarre because last year I was straight in and out. Maybe more people logging on this year. I don't need a slot particularly close to Christmas anyway but the waiting is boring.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering. The last few weeks of orders have had so many 'unavailable' that I'm having to go to the shops anyway. No chicken or egg apparently for last few weeks...

This is true for us too actually. Wonder if all supermarkets are the same. We considered switching but stuck with Tesco and do an Aldi top up as it is often fruit that is unavailable when we order.

Still over 200,000 so maybe the Christmas shop decision is made for me 🙄

When I checked the app at 5.45 I was around 33000 in the queue, I’m still waiting now on 6675.

FallingsHowIFeel · 15/11/2022 06:34

I logged in at 5.40 ish, got in at 6.10 and got my slot.

Hope everyone gets one.🤞

AssumingDirectControl · 15/11/2022 06:35

I got in at 6.30 after logging on around 5.40, got the slot I wanted. Good luck.

KangarooKenny · 15/11/2022 06:36

Can you get more than one slot, or do you have to queue again for another ?

SquigglePigs · 15/11/2022 06:36

I completely forgot. On 212500 now!

fdkc · 15/11/2022 06:38

What's the slots for? Sorry I'm in Ireland and have no idea what's going on. Is it to shop in the actual supermarket or to get an online delivery?

Doesn't affected me im just curious!

CrossUniStudent · 15/11/2022 06:40

You can get more than one. I booked our usual Saturday slot for the 17th Dec whilst there.

loudbatperson · 15/11/2022 06:40

@OliviaFlaversham I don't think all shops are the same for booking Christmas slots.

I got myself an Ocado and Waitrose slot without queuing and waiting.

I also booked a shop for a relative via Sainsbury's without an issue. I just checked Sainsbury's and (locally to me anyway) they still have loads of slots still available, all the way through the 24th. I am not sure if it's still delivery pass holders or not. They realised a couple of weeks ago for pass holders.

loudbatperson · 15/11/2022 06:41

Ps...... I am not actually queuing for Tesco btw, before someone asks me why I need another Christmas slot. Just saw so many queuing threads and came to see what the fuss was about.

MadisonAvenue · 15/11/2022 06:45

I’m in now but it’s really glitchy, keep getting “sorry something went wrong” and “having difficulty updating your basket” messages.

use583298 · 15/11/2022 06:46

I have Waitrose slot booked on 23rd for fresh stuff and a few luxuries but am queuing for my usual Tuesday slot as I have midweek saver so not much good this year as can only have Tues-Thurs with Tesco.

MsChatterbox · 15/11/2022 06:46

I'm at 134000 now... So gone down about 30000 in 30 mins... Hope I'm not on the school run when it gets there 😬

It is a good point - I hadn’t thought about my normal Saturday delivery!

TellMeWhere · 15/11/2022 06:49

I got the front of the queue and it fucking kicked me out.

Thanks. Just want to do my usual slot as well.

dorib · 15/11/2022 06:51

I feel like I need a slot now! i'm awake & having fomo 😆

Is it just for a food delivery around christmas? Is there anything extra? Are other shops just as popular or just Tesco?

ThatsGoingToHurt · 15/11/2022 06:51

I’m 23400 in the queue with a wait time of over an hour.

Craigava · 15/11/2022 06:54

I'm currently at 47k with a wait time of 36 mins.

evtheria · 15/11/2022 06:54

Finally in and every time I try to book a slot it says 'sorry' unable to/error!!
