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

And I’ve just received a text saying to make any amendments by midday 🤦‍♀️

SRK16 · 17/03/2020 12:08

I’m still 7509?!

FamilyMatter2020 · 17/03/2020 12:20

Good thread. Been trying to get in since Friday but website always fails before I can pay. Queued for three hours so far, now won't let me log in Confused If I refresh, will get chucked out & back to the start Grin

ThomasHardyPerennial · 17/03/2020 12:26

I couldn't get on in the end, feeling a bit concerned now!

LaCherriesJubilee · 17/03/2020 12:40

How late can you comfortably stay up? I edited my shop at midnight and got onto the site within 30 seconds.

RevIMJolly · 17/03/2020 12:42

I am 17352 but there are at least 800 folk behind me, so that's something...

have a slot on Thursday reserved hopefully. We are self isolating although we are all well apart from DS's cough. However, I had a completely unrelated medical issue which make me feel like crap so I could do with getting my mince ordered.

BlingLoving · 17/03/2020 13:39

@bluebell34567 That's a good suggestion. I'm going to wait until my work day is done, then get myself set up to have the Ocado queue while I'm making dinner/watching tv etc. So will do a cookie sweep BEFORE I restart. Thanks. On my iPad it just crashed. Sigh.

SRK16 · 17/03/2020 13:47

It booted me out. I’m now over 10000 in the queue 🙄
Perhaps I shall give up...

NCParanoia · 17/03/2020 13:55

My delivery is arriving between 4-5pm today preens but only got that slot when I booked last Thursday! Most of what I ordered is going to arrive though except kitchen paper and some peppa pig tinned pasta (DS will be devastated). That includes rice, pasta and loo roll so that hopefully means there should be enough in stock for you who are waiting.

Jespers · 17/03/2020 13:59

Why don't you go and use a different delivery service? Tesco etc? They're all fine!

ThunderboltandLightning · 17/03/2020 14:14

Jespers not round here they're not. Not a single slot for either delivery or collection until early April. That's with Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsbury's. Don't have an Asda app, but can't see they'd be any better.

EveLevine · 17/03/2020 14:19

I'm 11799....don't think I'll be editing my order today!

sluj · 17/03/2020 14:23

I'm too frightened to edit now in case I can't check out again. I'm just going to make the most of what comes

anotherBadAvatar · 17/03/2020 14:23

woke up at 1am due to DS, and couldn't get back to sleep! Still had a queue even then, but managed to get on in a few mins.

WhateverHappenedToBathPearls · 17/03/2020 14:25

I got from 16000-odd in the queue through to the site in about 45 mins just now. It's moving quite fast.

FlamingoAndJohn · 17/03/2020 15:57

The queue has dropped to about 8000 now. I'm guessing its school pick up time coupled with people who were doing it at work stopping now. I'll try again later.

FreakStar · 17/03/2020 20:06

It's 8pm and I'm number 5815, but have been for an hour now- not moving, but the numbers in the queue are going up behind me! I want to edit- if I can't do it before the cut off time then it will just be the 6 bottles of gin I added in ordered to reserve the slot Grin

Growingboys · 17/03/2020 20:10

I;m 6553 but not hopeful - waited an hour this norning and when I eventually got onto the site, it refused to log me in even though my passport is saved so all I needed to do was press confirm.

Might have a go when I have my 3am wee.

collywobblescar · 17/03/2020 20:28

I'm worried I'll get in and it won't let me check out. Spent 40 minutes in it earlier and got into the website for it to freeze. What arrives will just have to do

FlamingoAndJohn · 17/03/2020 20:30

I want to add a few things but I’m too frightened that I might not check out again.

Motorina · 17/03/2020 20:45

16500 in the queue now.

SimonJT · 17/03/2020 20:48

I have been amending my order when my son gets in bed with me at about 4am, it’s madness.

TheGreatWave · 17/03/2020 20:51

motor that's weird, I am in the queue now and it says that I am 1200 of 10300.

I have gone from about 8000 (I think) in about 25 minutes. The queue does seems to be getting longer though.

FlyingFlamingo · 17/03/2020 20:52

I’m also in the too scared to try to edit camp. It’s due tomorrow so what will be will be! I still have stuff in my Brexit stash if I don’t actually get anything useful so we’ll survive with that and whatever the co op have in up the road. Getting ‘you can amend your order until 11pm tonight’ texts somewhat feels like they are rubbing salt in the wound! Grin

The Tesco app is working much better so I’ve booked next week with them!

TheGreatWave · 17/03/2020 20:52

In the last 15 seconds I went from 1000 to 870.
