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!

Really annoyingly, I was on the waiting page, then at about 5.55, it let me in, I reserved the slot I wanted, went to check out and got put back in the waiting room. Not sure what that was all about?
3 minutes left now

Done. I got one benefit from my insomnia, finally!🤣

DancingWithYouInTheSummerRain · 07/11/2023 06:05

That was too easy!

TrailingFig · 07/11/2023 06:05

It won’t even let me put shopping in my basket

FreebieWallopFridge · 07/11/2023 06:05

1 min wait, done and dusted.

thelittlestbird · 07/11/2023 06:05

In and out and done. 24th slots were all gone by 6.03!

NameNumber2 · 07/11/2023 06:06

Bosh booked and checked out - good luck team. Thanks for keeping me company.

KnottyKnitting · 07/11/2023 06:06

Strange as the laptop seemed to be the one that went in the quickest even though I started the process on my phone.
Good luck everyone!

I've been in a queue since 5.55 and still saying a 47 minute wait!! Never done this before and assumed would be easy!

I don't think they deliver on the 24th. My area certainly doesn't.

I think it depends where you are. Last year I remember people saying slots had gone but I got one. My delivery comes direct from a distribution centre, not a store.

nicky2512 · 07/11/2023 06:07

In queue at 5.50 and currently 11 mins wait

Smellderflower · 07/11/2023 06:07

All done. That was significantly quicker and easier than previous years.

ChristmasPuddingAllRound · 07/11/2023 06:07

All done

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/11/2023 06:08

My wait time was 41 minutes, now dropped to 32 minutes. Very annoying but hopefully there will be some slots left when I finally get in. Although am slightly in 2 minds about whether I really need it given that 99% of stuff can be bought in advance

Spacie · 07/11/2023 06:08

I would never book the 24th anyway.Too risky.

I wonder if it calculates your wait time according to how early you logged into their website? I logged in at 5.30am - would be interesting to know what time those with shorter or longer wait times logged in. Or maybe it's totally random...

I was in at 5:40 and checked out by 6:02

Perhaps - I've been logged onto the app since 5ish (as up anyway to travel for work)

AgaMM · 07/11/2023 06:08

Does it depend on your area? Looks like people who joined the queue after me have shorter wait times!

Smurfmurf · 07/11/2023 06:09

36 minute wait. It wouldn’t let me in before 6.

QueenOfThorns · 07/11/2023 06:09

Bugger! Why do I never remember that you can join the queue in advance? Joined at 6 on the dot and looking at 57 minutes now Sad

Edit: it’s just gone back to more than an hour Angry

Cupcakegirl13 · 07/11/2023 06:10

2 minute wait time done by 6.03 ! Finally they seem to have sorted it !

Outtatherepronto · 07/11/2023 06:10

My wait time was 31 minutes but just jumped to 47! 🙈

thelittlestbird · 07/11/2023 06:10

@Spacie @Sherma could be, I'm not sure. This is my first year with a delivery saver early access thingybob :)
