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!

Mines gone the wrong way too 😡

Iamonetoo · 07/11/2023 06:12

This is too ridiculous

1990thatsme · 07/11/2023 06:12

Also in and out like a rocket. Much better than last year.

@QueenOfThorns I logged on at 5.45 and they had paused the queue, so I couldn't get in until 6am. My wait has gone down to 24 minutes (started at 42)

Has yours gone back up again as well?

Trumpton · 07/11/2023 06:12

App is showing 8 mins. Browser on pc 19 mins.

Iamonetoo · 07/11/2023 06:12

Looks like they've all gone the wrong way, I'm so not a morning person, this is killing me

RigorMortisRadio · 07/11/2023 06:13

Ok mine is dropping down again now 🤞🏻

I seem to be the only one not even able to access the site!

Tesco really know how to hack their customers off don't they. Increasing wait times? Some sadistic game they like to play?

AlwaysGinPlease · 07/11/2023 06:13

Use a laptop or PC rather than phone. Much quicker. I got in one minute after slots opened yet phone was saying 7 minutes. Booked 23rd. Tesco man told me that tip bless him.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 07/11/2023 06:13

Got my 3 weekly orders in for December so the 9th, 16th and 23rd. I'm very happy!

shoofly · 07/11/2023 06:14

Wait time was running down from 32 minutes and has now gone up to 53. Unimpressed

Talapia · 07/11/2023 06:14

Mine has gone up too

Yiayoula · 07/11/2023 06:14

All done , seemed much quicker this year .
Got into the app at 5.30am, was able to book slot 6.02am but none left for 24th which luckily I didn’t want anyway .
Is it area -dependent? Am in Bristol .

timetochangethering · 07/11/2023 06:15

Oh Gawd, I was late to the party - wait time is 1 hour!

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/11/2023 06:15

My waiting time has just doubled to 57 minutes!!
Tempted to give up, I can buy everything in advance apart from the salads and veg, and I can get those in our local greengrocers.

MadisonAvenue · 07/11/2023 06:15

Got the 8-9am slot on the 23rd.
Had to do it on the website though as the app went totally blank.

PurBal · 07/11/2023 06:16

Sorted

timetochangethering · 07/11/2023 06:16

*MORE THAN 1 hour

flapjackfairy · 07/11/2023 06:16

I joined the queue early and was checked out by 6.05. So much better than other years where I was 30 000 odd in the queue !

Didn't work for me. Waiting time on my laptop was over an hour compared to mins on my phone

I didn't think they delivered on xmas eve?

WaitingfortheTardis · 07/11/2023 06:18

They don't deliver on Sundays around here so there aren't slots for 24th, we always go 23rd anyway though to give ourselves a little leeway.

Managed to get in after just 3mins, but had been in the waiting room since 5:45 and didn't leave the app until I was done.

MoralOrLegal · 07/11/2023 06:18

Some areas deliver on 24th.

Done and dusted. Thanks for the company!
