Tesco has announced that all customers can now access 8 weeks’ worth of home delivery and click and collect slots over the summer across the UK, instead of the usual 4 weeks.
Furthermore, customers can now book same-day home delivery or click and collect slots. Tesco has also removed same-day charge for home deliveries and click and collect slots from selected stores.
The supermarket is also offering over 15,000 additional Click+Collect slots from stores near popular holiday destinations across the UK.
Rob Graham, Tesco online director, said: “Summer holidays are a busy time for all of us as we juggle family life. From days out to BBQs and picnics, we’re helping customers across the UK make the most of the summer, delivering everything they need to enjoy at home or during their holiday stay.
“This is a great time to plan ahead and let Tesco take some of the stress away from those summer activities by booking delivery or collection slots up to 8 weeks in advance. And, for those last-minute essentials, we’ve also removed same-day delivery fees in selected stores and increased our Click+Collect availability in holiday hotspots to make sure we’re there when customers need us.”
Tesco is not the only company changing its delivery practices for the summer. Deliveroo has partnered with Boots and Chelsea Dickenson to deliver essentials to UK hotspots over the holiday period.
Customers will be able to have items such as sunscreen, insect repellent and pain relief delivered to beaches walking spots and festivals across the country.
