Just gone on at 05.40am and I’m 6223 in a queue already.
It doesn’t open until 6am !

I was in a queue for my Xmas shop, then went back in to do the week before, and got straight in. Strange.

I've decided to save time and go to the shop.

Joined the queue at 5.56 (after ignoring my phone beeping at me ten minutes earlier. Joined the queue at 108k, nervous times when I got to 6k and the queue was paused for 5 minutes 😬. Ended up with a click and collect as all the delivery slots for the 23rd and 24th in my area had already gone.

Moomarre · 16/11/2021 07:38

Finally got in but all Christmas slots gone

NotSorry · 16/11/2021 07:38

Mine’s suddenly gone down to 15 mins

DoryisinCuba · 16/11/2021 07:39

It seems to be really inconsistent which is not great.

I am permanently logged in on the iPhone app. Went on at 5.30, no queue but no slots available. Went back at 5.50 and I was over 51,000th in the queue. Took until about 6.40 to get in.

Seems really odd that some people are going straight in.

SweetPeaPods · 16/11/2021 07:40

I'm done to 5 mins but still 20k people in front of me?!

Ijustcalled · 16/11/2021 07:41

Just got in after queuing since 6, latest I could get was 22nd.

LyraSilvertongueBelacqua · 16/11/2021 07:43

Finally got in after an hour and a half and the best I could get was 22nd. Wonder why I bother with a delivery pass!

SweetPeaPods · 16/11/2021 07:44

Finally in and can't get anything later than Sunday 19th. What a waste of time.

Raindancer411 · 16/11/2021 07:46

What a waste of time!! I queued since 6 and the latest I could get was Dec 6th!!!

Number109 · 16/11/2021 07:48

The one day both my girls decide to sleep past 6 so I didn’t log on to the app until 7 and am still in a queue. I’m away for Xmas so don’t need a “Xmas” slot but will need food in that week!

NotSorry · 16/11/2021 07:48

That’s mad! @Raindancer411

Number109 · 16/11/2021 07:49

@Raindancer411 that’s odd, do you have delivery saver?

Itsnotdeep · 16/11/2021 07:49

I went in the shower when was 57000 in the queue. Came back and found it had logged me off. But I logged right on and got a Christmas Eve slot.

Moomarre · 16/11/2021 07:50

I’m the opposite- used to be impressed but now there are never any slots unless you book 3 weeks ahead and then you go in to edit closer to the time and either everything is now out of stock or it fails to checkout again meaning you’re stuck with whatever you shoved in there three weeks previously

Moomarre · 16/11/2021 07:52

Sorry that was for @WholeClassKeptIn

NotSorry · 16/11/2021 07:54

Got in, logged in and it took me back to 25 mins 😡

WhatsitWiggle · 16/11/2021 07:54

I've managed to get straight in on the app, chose the 22nd as I always prefer to get veg in person. Website tells me there's an hour wait though. No idea why it's so different!

NotSorry · 16/11/2021 08:01

Got in through app and got 20th everything else booked Angry

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 16/11/2021 08:05

Had to queue on the app but when I got on everything was available. Always go for the 23rd as that leaves Christmas Eve for any last minute shopping if anything doesn't get delivered.

hanketypankety · 16/11/2021 08:09

Just got in and not showing anything past the 6th dec. FML. Angry

Kwackerly · 16/11/2021 08:09

I had forgotten Tesco Christmas slots, opened Mumsnet this morning and saw this thread, got straight in on the app and booked 23rd! Thank you @goodnightgrandma you saved me some stress!

Silverswirl · 16/11/2021 08:12

Help! I’ve got on after queuing Why is my app only showing up to the 6th December!!?

Lanique · 16/11/2021 08:13

I can only get 6th Dec.

I have a Waitrose shop booked for 21st but if I could get 22nd or 23rd with Tesco I'd have cancelled it.

Never mind eh. Waitrose it is. With another shop in person nearer the time Hmm
