- TESCO, Asda, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer customers are already able to order slots for Christmas delivery. Since delivery dates were released, there has been huge demand. Supermarkets have.
- I've not received an email yet, despite signing up to delivery saver. Just called up Tesco though and emails are going out today. However, I logged on to the website and the slots are now there for booking. My order for Christmas is now booked. Get them while you can.
Tesco customers have been left furious after having to wait hours in a virtual queue to secure a Christmas delivery slot.
Tesco food delivery: available slots for delivery and collection If you're a Tesco shopper, you have some options for delivery, but those are mostly starting next week, otherwise, there's some.
This morning the supermarket released slots for the week starting 21 December - but only to their delivery saver customers who pay a subscription fee.
But after waking up to log on at 7am, many complained they had still not been given a slot after two-and-a-half hours of waiting.
One person posted on Twitter: 'What an absolute joke. Been a delivery customer for years, have delivery saver.
Almost two and a half hours waiting and still in the queue ?

Another user posted: 'Been waiting 2.5 hours now (since 6.59) in a queue for Christmas slot. What's happening? Am I lost in cyber hell somewhere?'
Customers were faced with a message that read: 'You are currently in a queue - we'll put you through as soon as we can.'

On its Twitter page, the supermarket posted: 'A lot of customers are using our website and app at the moment. So we're temporarily using a virtual waiting room to help manage the flow.
'We're sorry if things take a bit longer than usual.'
Anyone else still in the online Tesco queue for a Christmas slot?! #tescopic.twitter.com/f4qKOrng2l
— SEN Resources Blog (@senresourceblog) November 13, 2020While some were given slots after a long wait, others were unsuccessful and forced to shop for their Christmas dinner supplies elsewhere.
Those who did manage to book complained festive essentials like turkeys were not yet available.
There was also no mention of people on the government's vulnerable list, who are entitled to priority delivery slots because of coronavirus.

The supermarket giant had to install an online queue system to help it manage the “high volumes of traffic”.
Shoppers on social media complained about the delay, saying they were being made to wait for hours.
Tesco tweeted in response to apologise “if things take a bit longer than usual”.
“A lot of customers are using our website and app at the moment,” it added.
Supermarkets have seen overwhelming demand for online delivery slots, with rival Ocado already running out of slots due to the spike, although more may be made available in early December.
A Tesco spokeswoman said: “Demand for online slots over the festive period is high, and we have more slots this Christmas than ever before.
“We experienced high volumes of traffic to our website and groceries app this morning and temporarily limited the number of customers using it.
“We’ve now removed the waiting room and customers will be able to log straight on.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused and would like to reassure customers that there are still slots available for home delivery and click and collect over the Christmas period.”
