Thinking about doing your Christmas shopping in Primark this close to the big day can seem daunting. No-one wants to tackle those queues - sometimes you can be waiting in them longer than you've spent filling your basket.
But did you know there's an easy hack for jumping the queue? Meaning no more waiting in line to be served!
The high street retailer is one of the very few not to have a typical website for online shopping and used to rely solely on in-store purchases - but this has all changed, Liverpool Echo reports.

In October, it was confirmed Primark was launching its new Click + Collect service in 25 selected stores located across the North West of England, Yorkshire and North Wales, and Manchester is one of them.
Best-known for its extensive range of fashionable clothing, accessories, homeware products, beauty supplies and more, Primark customers in Manchester can now use Primark's new Click + Collect service to avoid the queue and head straight to the till. After browsing the Primark website and checking out online, shoppers will be invited to collect their order from a dedicated Click + Collect desk on their nominated day.
Once in store, customers can browse further before heading to the desk to collect their order and also pay for any other items they've picked up in store at the same time - meaning they can skip the main queue.
The trial offer customers the opportunity to shop from an extended kids' range, as well as hundreds of items exclusive to Click + Collect. The launch of this service marks the first time Primark has given shoppers the option to buy online and then collect in store - offering an easy way for shoppers to beat the queues during the run up to Christmas Day.
Orders will be available for collection from two days after they have been placed, with a £15 minimum order value and no delivery charge. There's an eclectic mix of large city centre stores and smaller locations taking part in the Click + Collect trial, including Manchester's Market Street branch and their Trafford Centre store.
Shoppers across the country can also now visit Primark's new website – launched in the UK earlier this year – which features thousands of products from the business's best-selling ranges across men's, women's, kids' and home, and offers customers the option to check item availability in local stores before making a visit.
