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!

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

I've done one every week for 20 years and very rarely don't get what I've ordered. Just for balance 😁

Thought I would have an easy one with this as I was up early for a train. Instead I’m stuck in an hour long queue on both phone and app 🤦🏼‍♀️

BeeDavis · 07/11/2023 06:51

I’m sad but I like actually going to do my Xmas shop 🤣🤣

CheeseandGherkins · 07/11/2023 06:51

@Haydug I'm also near Cambridge and just booked for the 23rd, there were lot of slots still available for me.

Haydug · 07/11/2023 06:49

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.

I live on the outskirts of Cambridge. I can't see the slots on the 23rd because I've already booked for then but there are slots available all day on the 22nd and the 24 th.

I've only just logged on and it says more than an hour. Eeek

ThatsGoingToHurt · 07/11/2023 06:55

Still a wait of more than an hour!

DustyLee123 · 07/11/2023 06:58

Still waiting. Got to go to work soon, you’d think a weekend might be a better day to do it.

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. 😢

@Talkingtothecat247 She doesn't work for Tesco but is a delivery member who is clearly perplexed at us all!

Smurfmurf · 07/11/2023 07:00

That took me 55 minutes. On at 6 am sharp. Got lunchtime on 23rd. Our Tesco does not offer 24th.

Spacie · 07/11/2023 07:00

Done!
About 2/3 of the slots on the 23rd were still available, although I've gone for the 22nd.

daisydalrymple · 07/11/2023 07:04

Anybody having problems with signing in?? I set my alarm for 6am and have been waiting since then. Now it’s my turn to book it’s stuck in a loop saying log on error even though it’s accepting my Face ID ??? It’s auto putting in the password but going round and round in a loop 😭😭😭

return2sender · 07/11/2023 07:04

Done. 22nd 3/4. Wanted to make sure I had another day to get bits if the inevitable 'item not available' happens

Blanketpolicy · 07/11/2023 07:05

Booked 23rd

Back to bed for 30 mins 😴

chocolateisavegetable · 07/11/2023 07:06

Took an hour but I got the 23rd. The morning slots had gone but plenty for afternoon and evening

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/11/2023 07:08

It took me over 50 minutes to get in once I was in the queue (plus 15 minutes wait before 6am as the queue was paused) but got a slot for 23rd.

HeavenKnowsIamMiserableNow · 07/11/2023 07:08

HA didn’t mean to post that, but they are.

EasterIssland · 07/11/2023 07:08

My wait is more than an hour. Been awake for a while but forgot about it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t want Xmas week so hopefully I can get something around 15-16-17

Sillybillypoopoomummy · 07/11/2023 07:14

joined queue at 5.50am here - just got 23rd for Cambridge. Lots of spaces left.

Nothingoriginalhere · 07/11/2023 07:17

Done, Lincolnshire so pretty rural, no option for the 24th but I have got the 23rd and all my usual weekly slots for December.
have also popped back onto 23rd slot to add a. Couple of the “to order”
foods.
reasonably happy - hour wait but I normally log in earlier than I did today so my fault.

Lostmyway123 · 07/11/2023 07:17

Joined q at 5.55, got in at 7.15. Every single slot still looked available 22/23/24th (and assuming earlier).

JimnJoyce · 07/11/2023 07:18

logged on at 5.50am and got the 23rd, happy with that

TheseLegsDefinitelyUsedToBeLonger · 07/11/2023 07:19

This is bizarre - we used to shop with Tesco but switched to Asda several years ago. We have a midweek delivery pass, went in back in October to do the usual weekly shop and noticed they'd made Christmas slots available. So I booked one and then went back in to do my regular shop. No queues, no hassle. They did used to announce in advance when they were opening the slots and I think that used to be worse as everyone jumped on at the same time. This year they haven't announced it and there are loads available. Might be worth considering for anyone having trouble with Tesco? Good luck all!

Much much easier this year than previous years. Last year it took me about 4 hours in the queue. This year I am already finished

Probably because all us cheapskates who have the cheaper after 3pm delivery saver are not allowed to book our slot until the 21st. I booked Waitrose this year for Christmas slot instead.
