I am 10259

[SalmonOnTheRock]

Waiting....

I was surprised this morning to refresh from 5.35am and get queue number 1086...... I was refreshing every 30 seconds. It would seem I was early in by chance.

Site very glitchy though and my poor sister is still in the queue even now.

I'm done. I panicked a bit as when I got to "0. It's your turn, start your shop" nothing happened. So I tentatively refreshed the page and got the log in page, which I feared would put me back to square 1. Fortunately it didn't, and I got a slot on the afternoon of 23rd, put a couple of items in and checked out no bother.
Good luck to those waiting. I'm going to try to get a couple of hours sleep now!

And done

Two bottles of champagne ordered
Must now remember to change it well in advance as I had a year where it kept crashing for me.

@ExhaustedFlamingo ah no I didn't get that, I just logged on having seen the date on the their website assuming it was for all delivery saver customers regardless of whether you're peak or off peak. 22 Nov is it I guess!

18000 and 5 min wait now...

TheWomanTheyCallJayne, yes, do remember to put your order in. One year DH had booked an in between Christmas and New Year slot which he forgot about. His go to items for reserving the slot are three bottles of brandy. Guess what was delivered!

@Parkmama - oh bugger, that might be why then! What a shame after all that queueing!!

I got an email but hadn't opened it until I saw this thread 😂

Just got in, only wanted the usual Tuesday slot (midweek saver) as have Waitrose booked for 23rd, slots were all available for 20th-22nd, Morning all gone for 23rd but plenty afternoon and evening slots, obviously this is just a snapshot as stores vary.

It’s crashed now 🙄

I got on at 5.50 with 155000 ahead of me.

Finally got to the front of the queue at 6.05. Took me a few stabs at the page to checkout, it's obviously creaking.

Sadly, I accidentally checked out with my current shop which was due to be delivered tomorrow. So I've lost that slot.

I managed to get another slot for tomorrow while I was still logged in.

You'll all be pleased to hear I've only put a carrot in my basket for tomorrows delivery, to save time. I hope I can get back in again later today to do my weekly shop otherwise that carrot will cost me £40+ delivery.

I had forgotten all about this queueing for a slot, I only ever used online shopping during lockdown, it was so stressful!

11,000 ahead of me and three minutes please don't crash to go. 🤞

I wondered if I would get one as I am still on the old midweek saver but I did, I am expecting to be moved to the off peak one sometime as that would be the equivalent one so won't get a slot next year

I was on the app and kept getting error at every stage but just kept pressing the button and got it through in the end

Probably wasn’t even as good as the bottles of brandy…

Gazelda- How on earth did you get on at 5:55 and get on 15 mins later from a starting point of 155,000?
I started at the same time at just over 100,000 and it's taken me an hour and 40 mins to get through! Even then It kept crashing as I tried to check out!

Going down much more quickly now. 90 minutes wait time so far, hopefully there’s a decent ish slot left.

Two hours of queueing got in and app crashed!!

Oh I forgot about this. Thanks.

I have a desk-based job so can work while I'm in the queue, and pray that someone doesn't need when I get to the front!

The app has been useless this year - couldn’t check out my previous Saturday usual slot when my website queue place suddenly got to the front and I was checked out in seconds

As an ex instore picker (not tesco but still) can i just remind people that basics like stuffing, cranberry sauce etc are available all year round and ordering online for anything doesnt guarantee you will get it. Please dont rely on a christmas delivery for these items.

PP means the slot, not the items

I’m done and booked. App is really glitchy and slow. It took about 20 minutes to add, check out and pay.

@NotSorry - I have only just cottoned on to the fact they meant the slot, not the actual shopping!

I'm blaming queue-brain.

Dammit. The app crashed and I've gone back to the beginning!
