I can’t get the app to accept payment! Tried 3 cards, all with plenty of funds. Arrrgggh

BooksAndHooks · 15/11/2022 06:37

I didn’t even know it was today I didn’t receive an email from Tesco.

IamChipmunk · 15/11/2022 06:37

Im now 120000 ish. I also need to leave by 7.30 and will hav no phone reception by 8am so that will be that.
I only want a Tues slot...
I fell out with Tesco after the debacle of 2017 when they cancelled my whole xmas shop that morning (23rd!) And I had to take baby dd and toddler ds to do the shop with me!!! (I did get a refund plus the value of the shop so not all bad!)
Ill do most of my Xmas stuff at Aldi.

Ahhh, I always assumed your dotcom order got picked by the shoppers at your local Tesco and if that store didn’t stock it, you got a substitute.

So is that not the case? I assumed the same and thought it just came from my local branch?

Mumofboys1 · 15/11/2022 06:42

I was 93364 (logged on at 5:55) luckily the app crashed on me at 6:13 and I then became 186, 571 🤦‍♀️

Do you have a delivery pass? I got an email last week and another reminder yesterday.

Got my slot, good luck to everyone else, hope you get one.

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 15/11/2022 06:43

Theyre done at big regional stores

my number is going down but my time is going up again. Are people slacking and not just ordering a few items to keep the slot.

FourTeaFallOut · 15/11/2022 06:44

I started at 144k at 6.01 and I'm sitting at 111k now. If 40mins is 33k, so that's about.,.2h20 minutes of waiting. Pah.

MDevane86 · 15/11/2022 06:45

I'm 304250, 25mins to go. Fingers crossed for 22nd December delivery slot!

ExhaustedFlamingo · 15/11/2022 06:45

I've gone down by 26,000 places in exactly 30 minutes.

Just the 156,000 places still to go......

It was ticking off at 1000 per minute but it's slowed right down. I had hoped it would speed up. Going to be a three hour+ wait at this rate!

GhastlyBoo · 15/11/2022 06:46

Can you leave your place in the queue?

ExhaustedFlamingo · 15/11/2022 06:46

Haha cross post @FourTeaFallOut - similar thoughts I see!!

I’ve never actually ordered online food because I worked as a Sainsbury’s picker back in my uni days when it was all quite new (maybe 2007?).

The shopper would have ordered ‘fresh bunch of mint’. If it wasn’t in stock, my logic would tell me to give them the pot of fresh mint, but the computer would suggest a tub of ‘dried mint’. Or if they picked ‘Orange marmalade 500g’ and it wasn’t in stock, I’d have chosen them ‘Orange Marmalade 300g’ but the machine would say ‘Grapefruit marmalade 500g’.

It has genuinely put me off dotcom for life.

MermaidEyes · 15/11/2022 06:48

I've been on for a while and it's definitely getting slower. Too many eejits browsing with their morning coffee no doubt.

MarryMeTomHardy · 15/11/2022 06:49

My position just went up by 10,000!!!

IamChipmunk · 15/11/2022 06:06

152755! Wait more than an hour.
Why do tesco seem to make harder work of it than every other shop?!

It's very odd. Sainsbury’s releases at midnight, which is when I nip on, get a slot, check out and be done with!

I think it's a marketing ploy in some way. Creating interest?

QuietOne121 · 15/11/2022 06:51

Just got mine done. Had to confirm things multiple times. Their system is creaking. Took about 10-15 attempts on payment screen to confirm order.

I just put in 5 random things and confirmed order, got it confirmed and left again.

Bigboysmademedoit · 15/11/2022 06:53

Booked last week with Sainsburys for 23rd December - loads of availability and NO queue - just saying 😂

Back memories of me and my Dp trying to get a slot for UK Lapland. Good luck to you all

MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel · 15/11/2022 06:56

I got on at 5.30am. Was 20479 and told a 41 minute wait.

Was checked out by 6am with the slot I wanted on 23rd dec. 🙂
