The Ocado Queue Thread.

[FlamingoAndJohn]

Hello. Are you in the Ocado virtual queue? What position are you?
Would you like some company?

Amazon fresh have no slots for the foreseeable

Watching with interest. On Tuesday I managed to book a delivery for Wed 1/4. Too early to be able to edit it, but fortunately it's a fairly sensible one (I used the suggested order feature so it was quickly done and based on what I usually buy). Just hope it actually comes. We don't have a car and although we're OK for basics we would ideally like some more fresh stuff by then. No idea how the local shops are fixed as have not left the house for many days. Will find out tomorrow when we need milk.

Just went on, and was pleasantly surprised that the queues was only 270. However, it counted down, then jumped to 8000.

OK, just had a look. You go into a virtual queue to log in. That is very short. Then a very long queue to actually do anything. Nearly 10000 in that queue and it said it would take 2 hours to get to the top of the queue. Will try at a quieter time (can't imagine when that might be, though).

I got a slit for 16th April too! At 07.30. Got usual stuff but have noticed no offers etc. Hope they don't cancel. Am hoping all the craziness settles down..but will it..with more people at home etc. Hopefully the online services for all shops will be able to sort themselves out. It must be difficult for them as it has all gone bonkers.

Slot!!

My order is coming today and is on its way now - just seen my receipt. No cat litter for the 3rd week running (luckily got some elsewhere!), a couple of subs that are fine (different milk, yoghurt and cheddar).

Will try at a quieter time (can't imagine when that might be, though).

My experience tells me; after midnight, middle of the night when you get up for a pee, before 6.30am.

I just had that. I was really happy it was only 250. Then it jumps to 10,000

I've been number 45 in the queue for over an hour. When I first logged on their were 3000 waiting now 10000!!

I just got to the front of the queue and then it went back to the log in queue. Not happy at all

I’m going to wait until after midnight.

First it told me I had less than a minute to wait and then when I looked again I was 11326 in the queue!

I got through over the weekend but couldn't book a delivery slot. Do they only do 3 days in advance? (It wouldn't let me look for anything beyond that.)

I was able to edit my order for Saturday when I was up worrying and coughing at 4am. Removed the wine and pasta (have enough), added hair dye.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g Oh that makes sense. Thank you. I see I'm not the only one!

When i ordered on Friday I started out at number 21,467 in the queue. It took four hours to get online and then, the first delivery slot available was the 4th April.

I'm really not seeing the point of the first short queue to then let you queue! It's not until you get into the long, over two hour queue that it tells you that you still can't edit your order unless you have a delivery due between certain dates. I got very excited that things were starting to return to some sort of normality only to have my hopes dashed

Those that have orders due in the next week and can edit, can you now add items to your order or still only delete them?

I’ve just worked that out by logging on using my work computer.
The first short queue got me to a log on screen. Once I’d logged on then I could get into the virtual queue.

How long was your final virtual queue?

Does anyone know why we can't book future slots now? I've got one booked for this Sunday but after that can't book anymore...

It's not that they're gone, it's just not showing any dates beyond 3rd April.

About 10,000.

What I think is happening is that you go on to that little queue, log in to check that you have a delivery booked in the next week and then you join the main queue.

That shows how many orders they have pending.

It let me straight on but there are no delivery slots?

i wish they would give info on when and how they are releasing slots.

I’m in a queue but probably no point reading your posts.
