The change at the UK’s biggest supermarket also affects Click+Collect customers
Tesco has unveiled a significant update for customers who rely on home delivery or Click+Collect services. The retail behemoth shared the news as it prepares for the Easter rush, with the holiday falling on the weekend of 4-5 April this year.
Tesco is opening up access to its home delivery and Click+Collect slots a week earlier than in previous years, while also adding an extra 120,000 slots to cater to increased demand. For the first time ever, Tesco will offer six weeks’ worth of slots covering the entire Easter school holiday period.
The additional slots will be available for booking from 24 February onwards, running until ‘mid-April’. Jillian Lidgate, Tesco’s online customer director, said: “With 120,000 extra home delivery and Click + Collect slots available this Easter, we’re making it easier for customers to plan their celebrations with great-quality products delivered direct to their door or Click+Collect location of their choice.
“Whether they need to get the essentials for their staycation or everything they need to host Easter Sunday lunch, customers can get one thing sorted early – their delivery slot.”
Customers who are signed up to an Anytime Delivery Saver plan or Click+Collect plan can take advantage of these exclusive slots from 6am on 24 February. Slots for all other customers, including those with an Off-Peak Delivery Saver plan, will open at 6am on 3 March.
Starting at just £6.99 per month, the Anytime Delivery Saver 12-month subscription offers early access to slots and could save customers up to £176 a year on delivery or collection charges. The Click+Collect plan begins from £2.49 a month for six months, providing access to priority Christmas and Easter Click+Collect slots.
Easter continues to be a prime time for Brits to splurge on food and drink. In 2025, some £415 million was spent on food and drink – with £100million being spent on Easter Eggs and sweets in the week leading up to Easter.
Expenditure on meat, fish, and poultry all reached record levels, with lamb unsurprisingly topping the list. And with food inflation gradually decreasing, the figures are anticipated to be high again this year.
