Tesco customers have been left furious after having to wait hours in a virtual queue to secure a Christmas delivery slot. This morning the supermarket released slots for the week starting 21 December - but only to their delivery saver customers who pay a subscription fee. Set Your Alarms For 6.45 AM Tomorrow As Tesco Christmas Slots Open. Not getting an acceptable delivery slot can bring shame upon whatever head of the household has decided to take on this arduous.
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 😡

Anyone else still in the online Tesco queue for a Christmas slot?! #tescopic.twitter.com/f4qKOrng2l

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.
