The Tesco website reportedly crashed this morning as thousands of shoppers rushed to book their Christmas delivery slot.
Delivery Saver customers were told they could book a slot from 6am today (November 15), but some complained that the queue was opened before the advertised time. At 6am, there was reportedly already more than 100,000 people in the queue.
Posting on Twitter, one customer said: “I logged on at 5.59 (am) to get ready only to find over 135,000 in the queue already.”
By 6.13am, users were posting screenshots that showed the queue was up to 180,000 people. Others complained they spent time waiting in the queue only to be kicked out: “Hey @Tesco just sat for half an hour in your xmas queue and as soon as I reached the front of the queue I got kicked out and now the wait is an hour.”
Another said: “I was 38,000 in the queue and the app ‘refreshed’ itself and now I’m number 178,000. You’re having a laugh.”
The PA news agency contacted Tesco for a comment.
