Tesco Christmas Queuers!

[Purplewarrior]

I’m waiting!

22 mins here but does keep going up and down a bit. Hopefully will be soon

Joined the queue just before 5:45; at 6 it said over an hour for maybe 20 seconds, then it let me straight in. Done and dusted on the main Christmas slot by 6:03 and I’ve got our regular slots now till New Year. What I take from this is I must be in a very sad minority in my area who are willing to get up early enough for the bunfight. I can live with that 😄

Just saw this thread, I had forgotten 😩
Logged in now and wait time is over a hour.

 @SeventyFiveNineteen
I can't believe people woke up to get a slot.

I gave up on slots close to Christmas when they failed to deliver 1/3 of my order including the turkey . (Upside was Tesco had heavily discounted turkeys in store, the £50 for £5 when now exh was sent on an emergency shopping trip at 2pm on Christmas Eve!). I get a stock up around the 10th if I'm hosting then go in person for the main shop at 6am

There are definitely more than a few of us…

We’ve possibly been lucky but touch wood, we’ve never had a problem. I don’t book for the 24th just in case we do need to grab a missing essential. Works for us and one early morning is well worth not going in to store.

I get up at 5:30 every day so no drama there.

I arrange my delivery for 23 like PP so I can go to local shops for anything that is missing, although tbh it’s usually fine.

If you are getting up to go shopping at 6am, that’s the same as anyone getting up to book online slot isn’t it?

got my click and collect slot after roughly an hour wait, wanted to go back to bed but just embracing (grumpily) being awake now!

I'm all sorted. Booked one for 22nd and one for 30th.

They don't deliver in my area on 24th so I always aim for the 23rd.

Argggh I forgot about this!

Whoops, totally forget! That said I don't need one for a specific day as most of our Christmas meal stuff, certainly all the perishables, has already been ordered elsewhere. So will be happy with 21st/22nd if I eventually get on!

And I’m in !
23rd and 24th fully booked. Other days all slots available..

Do you need to be on their paid monthly delivery saver plan to book Christmas slots now?

yes

I have monthly saver and queued for an hour, now finally in but slot only show only to 2nd Dec! Could it be because I only have the Off-peak plan?

It's my turn to shop but I'm stuck on the red screen that says I can shop now!

I'm on the app, any idea how I get to the shopping part?

Red screen of doom!

I got 23rd, later than ideal but I can live with that.

Im in the queue but I don’t have a delivery pass, so that’s not going to work is it?

I don’t actually really care about it being delivered, I just want to order the pre prepared Christmas food that they do (the sides in particular) that they don’t sell in store.

Yes, same here. Ours starts next week, I think. I did the same. DH got the email and knew it wasn’t us yet.

Bit of an anticlimax 🤣!

Got all excited to finally be there, but no! We usually do alright though- I’m sure they release more dates as they go.

Ah, thank you! Same here, partner had the email.

I got 22nd, which is what I wanted as we get back from holiday that day, so ideal.

Whole day of 22nd was free so got my pick of those and then got a slot for Betwixmas too. Is anyone else getting any of the festive food to order? I like the look of the candy cane cake!

I got to the front of the queue.

It let me buy the delivery pass to be able to book a slot.

And then it put me back to the end of the queue (without letting me book a slot) 😂
