Anyone else in the queue?

Hope they start opening up soon 🤞🏻

Really?! I’ve been queuing for nearly two hours and I get this! No I will not go on the website and start again!

Come off the app (not closing it properly though) and open again a few times and you should get in. Still took me some time and lots of errors to choose slot, update basket and check out though. Probably 20 mins from getting to the front of the queue.

ThatsGoingToHurt · 15/11/2022 08:50

Got my slot for the 23rd! Woo hoo! A bit later in the day than I wanted but still time to pop out in the evening or on the 24th to pick up any missing bits.

@rainbowandglitter no I don't.
I actually don't even want a slot for Christmas but for earlier in December when we do a Christmas dinner with our friends.Smile

without a delivery saver booking opens on 22nd November for xmas delivery slots, for earlier in December its the same standard book ahead time as normal, so will need to look closer to the date you want

mamabear715 · 15/11/2022 08:52

Go for it, @Heldathunpoint2022 !

crossstitchingnana · 15/11/2022 08:59

Only joined at 7:40 and took an hour. A few slots left on the 23rd so I am happy. Did it on the App as well, although it was clunky.

Remembered to order my turkey too.

December dates up until Christmas are all available for booking.
I’ve got my usually weekly Fridays booked throughout the month.

After joining the queue at 5.55am, getting booted several times, missing my time on the laptop while I did the school run, I have managed it. Got my normal delivery for the 17th and then the Christmas one on 22nd. Plenty of slots available.

JellyBabiesSaveLives · 15/11/2022 09:03

Has the app broken? I got on at 5:50 this morning, 60,000ish, took just over an hour. I just had a look at the app to see if I needed to have bothered, it says 175,000 but only a 15 minute wait?

Tenpintonpin · 15/11/2022 09:06

Yep, it's broken. Website still working though.

Heldathunpoint2022 · 15/11/2022 09:07

Done! Got the 23rd, 24th all booked up but I wanted the 23rd anyway as we have Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve 😀

Fishdish · 15/11/2022 09:08

Got my slot! 20th, 21st and 22nd had all slots still available for my local one.

Margo34 · 15/11/2022 09:11

Took me an 1.5hrs to get from 230k to 0, the 24th totally unavailable but free reign of any slots on all the other days that week so I'm booked. Happy days 🙌

JazzHandsYeah · 15/11/2022 09:12

I finally got to the front of the queue, but it’s not showing any dates beyond Dec 5th, what have I done wrong?!

Slots open today for delivery saver. Do you have delivery saver?

Are you a delivery saver customer ? If not you won't be able to access Xmas slots until 22nd November.

You have a delivery saver though?

JazzHandsYeah · 15/11/2022 09:14

Ah finally it works, hurrah!

crossstitchingnana · 15/11/2022 09:21

Tesco don't do deliveries on the 24th.

DWMoosmum · 15/11/2022 09:29

TrippinEdBalls · 15/11/2022 07:36

But I'm sat in a virtual queue while first getting myself ready and now getting the kids up and ready, which isn't so easy to do while going round a shop!

We get all a delivery every week so if I don't get a Christmas slot I have to do a full shop in-store, which I absolutely loathe, at the busiest time of the year when I'm not used to it - I definitely prefer this way, though can see why some people wouldn't.

@TrippinEdBalls oh I totally get why some would do it. I spend half my morning shouting ‘get up’ ‘clean your teeth’ so would probably miss my slot 🤣

one of my clients said this morning that she was in the queue first thing and it took her 50 minutes to get to the front then it wouldn’t let her log in. I think I’d have thrown the phone at that point!

DWMoosmum · 15/11/2022 09:31

teablanket · 15/11/2022 07:35

I don't have a car and I'm not keen on schlepping a big shop 5 miles home from the supermarket. Not sure my balance is good enough to try getting it all home on my bicycle, either. 😂

@teablanket 🤣 I actually saw a guy do that the other day. How he stayed upright was pure magic 🤣

DWMoosmum · 15/11/2022 09:33

Margo34 · 15/11/2022 07:42

Not for me, pregnant with a big bump and can't stand for too long it hurts! I'd rather stick me feet up with a cup of hot lemon and honey while waiting for the toddler to wake up.

@marg I totally get that. I can imagine that being quite relaxing. I don’t think they had online shopping when I was pregnant but now I’m wishing they did. I remember walking around busy supermarkets with one hand on my bump and one over my boobs 🤣

TheFlis12345 · 15/11/2022 09:38

Which delivery saver plan do you have? I only have the slightly cheaper off peak version so don’t get Christmas early access.

Stupidbonfire · 15/11/2022 09:46

What happening? I was in the queue, it timed out and then said the was an issue with the app and to go to the website. Which I did. But the latest delivery slot is 5th dec? Can that be right?

Stupidbonfire · 15/11/2022 09:50

Oh really? I swapped out of delivery saver and changed to club card points so buy the longleat Christmas lights experience. Does that mean I can’t book a slot yet then? Thank you for replying

22nd November is the slots day for people that don't have a delivery saver.
