Tesco - you are number 202678 in the queue

[Lougle]

Wouldn't it be better to let people log in and them have a queue for their area? I'm in a national queue just to log in!

Have you got the app? I can get straight through on that.

Agreed, I got straight through on the app.

Why are you queuing?

Bloody hell. Christmas slots released?

I got this

Glad I came on Mumsnet and saw this - I'm still 131422 in the queue on my laptop, but I just got straight in on the app and have my pre-Christmas delivery booked

Madness. I gave up on Xmas slots though once I realised your food was shelf picked not warehouse picked. So still ended up with missing items.

That’s the app just now unless there’s a secret quicker one? Or maybe it’s area specific.

I've got straight though on the app and got my slot! The laptop takes me to the holding page however.

My app says 208000 in the queue? How are you getting straight through?

I got straight through on the app just now. I do have priority bookings due to being CEV and also have the delivery saver scheme. Possibly due to that?

You lovely lot!!! I'm still 161000 in the queue, but after installing the app I've got a slot for 21st December. All the later slots have already gone in my area.

I just want to add to my shop due tomorrow!

I forgot to set my alarm 😯. Thanks to Mumsnet I've just installed app and got a slot for 22nd, so relieved after seeing the queue! 😁

I can't find Christmas delivery slots on the app.

I got at right through on the android app. Apple app still puts you on a queue.

@FreedomFaith I was like that at first but if you just go to book a slot as normal, the Christmas slots are on there.

I had to queue for 20 minutes, but loads of slots free once I got in. I forgot all about it until I came on here and saw the threads so I started queuing at 8am. Glad I didn’t bother getting up early!

This is why I abandoned Tesco for Christmas this year, too glitchy. Never got through on the app

Exactly, it all looks like a complete waste of time to me. Half your shopping is missing and you don't find out until it's too late to do anything about it.

I just go to the supermarket at 6 am on either 23rd or 24th December, when the shops are as fully stocked as they're going to be and virtually empty of customers.

And if there is anything that's missing you get to make your own decisions about substitutions, instead of relying on the picker, who is too rushed to put any thought into it, or isn't allowed to use any common sense, even if they have any, which is a lot to expect going on people's reports of what actually turns up compared with what they have ordered.

Just got on and slots only go up to 6 December? Nothing past that not even showing and greyed out. Just stops.

To be honest most of it we get in advance like frozen veg 😮 and crackers, crisps , sweets. We don’t have loads of fresh stuff and if we need some we just grab whatever. I have a small box I’m adding to at the moment.

I used the app on my phone and was held in a queue for over an hour. When I did eventually get to the front of the queue I managed to get a slot for 21st Dec but would have preferred 22nd or 23rd. One of the main reasons I pay for the delivery saver is 'priority' access to the Christmas slots so am questioning if it is really worth it for next year...

I just turned the app straight on after seeing this thread and could choose from multiple slots on 22/23/24

I just go to the supermarket… old school.,
( I appreciate that doesn’t suit everyone though)
