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.

The Sun found delivery slots at Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and Tesco had sold out for over a week at some addresses, while shoppers are also complaining of delays on social media. Grocery delivery. Tesco food delivery: available slots for delivery and collection. There are no delivery slots available at all. As each day goes by this might well change. I think it is worth checking at random times. I spent all last week trying to get a delivery from any supermarket - including checking at midnight. Then on Saturday, I logged on Tesco during the day and there were 3 slots available for Sunday!! Good luck, hope you can bag a slot soon! The Delivery Saver pass hives customers free delivery on groceries (with a minimum spend) and priority access to prime time slots. MORE: Supermarket opening hours during lockdown revealed: Tesco.

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 😡

'Went on at 6.45am. Been in the queue for two hours and 20 minutes. What is happening? Should I just shop elsewhere this Christmas?'

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.'

While 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.
