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

It seems haphazard, @NotSorry @SisterAgatha - some posters on the app report they waited, like you, while others reported easily booking slots 22-24th with little or no wait at all while, at the same time, the rest of us were still waiting 178000th in the queue on the website and then found the only slots left were for pre 21st or post 27th slots.

@Itsnotdeep

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.

I thought you couldn't book Christmas Eve?

namesss76 · 16/11/2021 13:41

I don't think my area does Christmas Eve, never seen or heard of Xmas Eve slots here. I wouldn't want to leave it that late anyway and wouldn't want to wait in on Xmas Eve!

I booked a Morrison’s slot a few weeks ago. Perfect day and time - lots to choose from. Much less stressful 😂

Sallycinnamum · 16/11/2021 15:47

Yes you're right. They don't deliver on Xmas eve. My bad!

Just looked again and there are still loads of slots available for the Mon and Tues.

I think this might be because we're located near so many huge stores and their distribution centre is only 30 mins away.

I got a Christmas Eve slot - my area (North London) must do them.

MyOtherProfile · 16/11/2021 18:03

Christmas Eve slots here too but I always go for 23rd.

I logged on at 5.59am. 127000th in the queue, and now I find that if i had logged in ten minutes before, I could have checked out, done and dusted. That's just not on if they've advertised slots open at 6am.

I then sat for an hour and 2.0 mins, and when I got down to the last minute I had the thing in my hands ready to go.

I pressed the button to log in and select a slot when prompted - instead the fucking thing next showed me a page with the words nobody wants to see "you've been inactive for over ten minutes so we've given your slot to someone else, you'll have to join the queue again". AngryAngryAngryAngry

I was bloody furious, three hours sleep and almost an hour and half wait and then that.

Rang them up and their customer "service" rep claimed three times there were no issues with the website - despite having an upset customer on the phone who clearly had had a huge issue. Said there was nothing she could do. I had a little cry and a swear.

By the time I got on there was nothing left.

And now I find out if I'd gone in via the app it let you skip the queue Angry

I've really had enough now, I've spent thousands of pounds with them this year and this is how customer loyalty is repaid. I'll be moving supermarkets. The customer service rep didn't give a toss.

Have you tried the flexi slots with the longer delivery time slot?

It was only some people who skipped the queue on the app, it must've been glitching.
I queued on the app and so did plenty of others on here.

Rupertpenrysmistress · 17/11/2021 17:13

Bit mixed on here I am delivery saver customer, logged on via the app as I always do straight in to book for 23rd, 24th also available. I didn't queue jump just did what I always do no problems. Sorry for you all that haven't managed to get a slot.

TabithaTumbler · 17/11/2021 17:32

Apparently there are a few more slots released next week when the non-delivery savers can book their slots. Maybe try again then?

Tumbleweed101 · 17/11/2021 19:06

I forgot and logged in at 8.30. There was a two min wait and 23rd was full but I got a time I wanted on 22nd and also one on 27th - in case I need anything then. I prefer it being a couple days before Xmas eve in case something I need doesn't arrive and I need to do a dash into town.

Just a bump on this thread to say New Years slots are out now too

lockdownalli · 22/11/2021 12:13

Just tried to pay for mine and the site has crashed Angry

Ducksurprise · 22/11/2021 12:27

And mine

lockdownalli · 22/11/2021 12:30

Won't allow me to pay (and confirm order) on app or laptop. GRRRR!

Twinklystar52 · 22/11/2021 12:33

Me too

Twinklystar52 · 22/11/2021 12:40

It's worked for me now Smile
