Tesco Expands 2024 Christmas Delivery Service with Thousands of Additional Slots

Tesco is enhancing its Christmas delivery service for 2024 by offering thousands of additional slots in the two weeks leading up to Christmas Day. As detailed in Tesco Expands 2024 Christmas Delivery Service with Thousands of Additional Slots, the supermarket has added 60 more delivery vans to its fleet to meet the increased demand during the festive period.

In addition to expanding its delivery fleet, Tesco has boosted the capacity of its rapid delivery service, Whoosh, which will now offer thousands of extra slots on Christmas Eve. Tom Denyard, Tesco’s online managing director, stated, “We’re excited to help customers across the UK stock up on their family favorites or treat themselves to something special this festive season, with increased delivery capacity leading up to Christmas Day.”

Tesco is encouraging customers to sign up for the Delivery Saver plan for early access to festive delivery slots. Delivery Saver members will be able to book their slots from 6am on 5 November, a week earlier than other customers, while general access opens at 6am on 12 November—earlier than last year.

Denyard emphasized the benefits of the Delivery Saver plan, stating, “It not only gives you early access to slots this Christmas but can also save you up to £176 a year on delivery or collection fees.”

This comes as Tesco chief executive Ken Murphy expressed optimism for the holiday season, predicting a strong Christmas as customers begin to trade up, with sales of Tesco’s premium ranges already on the rise.
