Get ready to jingle all the way to your Christmas table, because Tesco is opening its festive delivery slots on November 12th! From 6am onwards, shoppers can book their Christmas food deliveries, ensuring a stress-free and delicious holiday season. This announcement follows Tesco’s recent push for customers to sign up for their Delivery Saver scheme, offering priority slots for a monthly fee.
While joining the Delivery Saver plan requires a subscription, it can ultimately be more budget-friendly than paying for individual deliveries, especially for frequent Tesco shoppers. The scheme offers two options: a £4.99 monthly fee for a six-month off-peak delivery pass or £7.99 for an anytime pass, also for six months. Tesco’s click and collect option also offers a monthly subscription for £2.49. Additionally, there are 12-month off-peak and anytime plans available for £3.99 and £6.99, respectively.
To accommodate the holiday rush, Tesco is bolstering its delivery fleet with 60 additional vans and adding thousands of extra slots to its delivery service. Even Whoosh, Tesco’s rapid delivery service, will have extra slots available on Christmas Eve, ensuring those last-minute essentials are within reach.
Tom Denyard, managing director at Tesco Online, emphasizes the urgency of signing up for a Delivery Saver plan, particularly for those seeking priority festive slots: “As we help customers plan ahead for their Christmas shop this year, we want customers to know that time is running out to sign up for a Delivery Saver Anytime Plan and benefit from festive priority slot bookings which go live tomorrow morning. We’re looking forward to helping customers across the UK pick up their family favourites or treat themselves to something special this festive season.”
With thousands of extra slots available in the fortnight leading up to Christmas Day, Tesco is committed to helping customers navigate the holiday shopping frenzy. Denyard encourages customers to consider the cost savings associated with Delivery Saver: “There is no better time to sign up for a convenient Delivery Saver plan and benefit from festive priority slot bookings. Delivery Saver plans not only give you early access to slots this Christmas, but they can also save you an amazing £176 a year on delivery or collection fees.”
So, don’t delay, head to Tesco’s website and secure your Christmas delivery slot before they’re gone! And remember, the festive season is all about spreading joy and good cheer, and a stress-free Christmas shopping experience is a gift in itself.
