Tesco open Christmas delivery slots - how to get yours

Tesco has announced the opening of its Christmas delivery slots to all customers. It comes one week after those with a Tesco Delivery Saver pass were given early access.

The supermarket giant's popular Christmas slots previously opened early for priority shoppers on November 5. However, regular shoppers can now book their own slot as of 6am today (November 12).

Tesco has bolstered its delivery fleet this year with 60 additional vans and expanded the capacity of its rapid delivery service, Whoosh, meaning thousands more slots will be available up to Christmas Eve.

Tom Denyard, Managing Director of Tesco Online, said: "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. We are also excited to be providing increased capacity with thousands of extra slots available in the fortnight leading up to Christmas Day.

"And there is no better time to sign up to 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.", reports the Mirror.
