Tesco slots

Anyone else getting up at stupid o'clock tomorrow to nab their slot? Hate this bloody process every year, wish they’d come up with a better way to do it!

Sadly Tesco are the only reliable option here so I’m tied in 🙄 last year a thread on here kept me going through the early hours so I’m hoping some of you are around again tomorrow!

Oh jumped down from over an hour to 42
mins in a space of 5 minutes!

Haydug · 07/11/2023 06:33

30 minutes to go for me. Please don't jump back up again😦

HeavenKnowsIamMiserableNow · 07/11/2023 06:33

At least this year all parts of the system are talking to each other.

Same time on iPad, phone and lap top.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 07/11/2023 06:22

Check that tomorrow. I thought I did that last year, but it only registered the one slot 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm done and dusted with my slot. I'm really not keen on getting up at this time just to get the day and time I have every bloody week 😂

Oh god I will double check tomorrow then! It is showing as all 3 in my orders when I go in to 'all orders' on the app. Fingers crossed!

Logged in at 5:50. Wait time currently 13 mins...

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/11/2023 06:35

I don't know if it is dependent on area? Our Tesco deliveries come from Ipswich. My wait time has bounced around all over the place, currently 19 minutes but it keeps going up as well as down.

BatshitCrazyWoman · 07/11/2023 06:35

I'm in London, right on the outskirts. I've never had a long wait time to book a slot at Christmas. I went from 'the queue is paused' to a 5 minute wait. I used the Tesco app, so I'm always logged in, I don't know if that makes a difference?

I bung champagne in my basket, then edit the order a week or so before delivery, when I know what I need.

HeavenKnowsIamMiserableNow · 07/11/2023 06:36

54 minutes…….

dizzygirl1 · 07/11/2023 06:36

I was quicker than the increased time and managed to get 4-5 on 23rd. There were a lot of slots available! I'm happy.

RigorMortisRadio · 07/11/2023 06:36

Phew all done! 10-11am on 23rd which is later than I wanted but hopefully it's picked and I have my receipt by 8ish so can still nip out first thing for anything missing.

Also got my two Sunday delivery's sorted for 10th and 17th.

xxreeldancerxx · 07/11/2023 06:37

Easier than last year.... For those still waiting, I just got delivery for 23rd and every single delivery slot was still available... Hang in there!

HeavenKnowsIamMiserableNow · 07/11/2023 06:37

I am torn between, sod it, I am retired and I will do it piecemeal and this is the reason I have a pass.

ThatsGoingToHurt · 07/11/2023 06:38

I’m in Devon with a wait time if over an hour 😞

QueenOfThorns · 07/11/2023 06:39

Fingers crossed that the current 45 minutes is reasonably accurate, because we have to leave the house at 7.45!

MyCircumference · 07/11/2023 06:41

i havent done an on line shop, apart from having covid in april, since blue light card gave discount on store purchases at asda only.
and i agree that it doesnt guarantee you will get your goods

Sherma · 07/11/2023 06:43

All done. I logged in at 6 and have just got slots on 9th, 16th and 23rd. Worked well.

Isn’t the current release of slots for delivery pass customers only?

TrialBySprout · 07/11/2023 06:46

I just logged back in to se if I could book my December weekly shops as well and it was no problem. I thought it would kick me out or at least put me back in the queue 🤔 maybe less people are queuing this year?

Notyetthere · 07/11/2023 06:46

19mins to go. I joined the queue at about 5.55am. We are in Kent. I hope the 23rd slots are still available.

maggienolia · 07/11/2023 06:46

Website showing over an hour (Cambridge).
App had a wait time of 40 minutes...just got 22nd December which was what I wanted. The app has been much faster this year.
Happy booking everyone.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/11/2023 06:46

Yes. And only if you've got the full delivery pass option. If you've got the "off peak" cheaper Delivery Pass then you have to wait another 2 week I think

HeavenKnowsIamMiserableNow · 07/11/2023 06:47

MadPad showing 43 minutes, app stuck on 54 minutes, buggered if I am going down to see what it is on the lap top.

I’m a Tesco delivery member but honestly I’m not sure I can be bothered.
Every year just seems like the same thing, massive fuss about bagging a slot… all goes quiet until the week of Christmas… massive fuss about all the substitutions, out of stock items and ‘ruining Christmas’

Every year I despair at how many seem to think putting an online order in middle of November guarentees them items.

I think I’d rather go get them than go through this tirade again.

I feel for you as it can't be pleasant having customers go on at you for items being out of stock/ substitutes.

Sadly not everyone is able to to go to a supermarket in person.
I'm a single mum, I don't drive, my youngest child is severely disabled and I suffer from agoraphobia. In all honesty I haven't set foot in any of the bigger supermarkets since March 2020. 😢

Zanatdy · 07/11/2023 06:48

36 mins for me! I’m up at 5.30am anyway so no problem for me

Were any 23rd slots left? I'm near Cambridge and I believe our online orders are sourced in Cambridge. I've still 15 mins in the queue! Was hoping for 23rd ideally.
