Tesco has substantially expanded its Christmas delivery slots for 2024, aiming to improve service accessibility for customers during the bustling festive season. The initiative sees thousands of additional slots available in the critical two-week period leading up to Christmas, addressing the heightened demand during this time.
To facilitate this increase in delivery availability, Tesco has bolstered its operational capacity by adding 60 more delivery vans to its fleet. This strategic move is designed to enhance logistical capabilities and ensure efficient delivery services across the UK.
Customers who are part of the Delivery Saver plan will benefit from early access to these coveted slots, with the opportunity to book starting from 6am on 5 November. This plan not only affords users priority access during peak times but also offers significant annual savings on delivery fees, according to Tesco’s online managing director, Tom Denyard, who highlights a potential saving of £176 annually.
General access to delivery slots will open for all customers at 6am on 12 November, which is notably a week earlier than last year, enhancing convenience and planning for the festive shopping season. Tesco’s strategy reflects its proactive approach to meeting customer needs, with a focus on service improvement and customer satisfaction over the holiday period.
