If you hate the great British tradition of queueing, the festive period can be a nightmare.
Now shoppers across the UK can pay somebody to queue on their behalf.
It's being offered on the website Bidvine, who say the service is available nationally.
After shoppers put in their postcode, they will be asked specific questions, like what store(s) they need a queuer for and how long they think the waiting times will be.
If you have the patience of a saint, you can also register your interest in becoming a queuer.
Consumers will be able to visit the link and request quotes from a roster of queuers across the UK.
It’s expected bids will be around £15 an hour but all quotes are individual and dependent on the person offering the service.
Queuers will be equipped with energy bars, water and personal toilet facilities to ensure they can stay in line as long as necessary.
Sohrab Jahanbani, CEO of Bidvine.com, said: “The festive shopping period can be stressful for even the most seasoned shopper and the struggle to get presents on a budget can dampen anyone’s Christmas spirit – that’s why we’ve introduced our queuer service.
“People put off by long queues or the inevitable fight over the last L.O.L glamper playset, a games console or TV, often miss out on the goods because they simply do not have the time to head down to the shop and queue up.
"Hiring one of our queuers ensures you have the support you need to have the most magical Christmas and allows you to spend more time with your family and friends.”
