Tesco bringing in new online delivery rules at 400 stores across UK
Tesco is bringing in new online delivery rules at 400 stores. The supermarket giant, which is rivalled by the likes of Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Lidl, Aldi, Asda and more, has added more same-day delivery slots to over 400 stores.
It means same-day delivery slots will now be available at the supermarket earlier in the day in these locations. Tesco currently offers same day home delivery slots starting from 7pm, and click and collect from 4pm, the grocer has said.
But Tesco says from now, same-day home delivery will begin from 1am and click and collect will start from 12pm. Shoppers will be able to amend their order by 8:45am on that day. Tom Denyard, Tesco Online Managing Director, said: “We are excited to have rolled out more same-day opportunities for customers to get an online slot, offering customers more spaces – and therefore more flexibility – than ever before.

"This allows them to book closer to their delivery or collection time and therefore improve our market-leading customer experience.” Tesco charges £7.99 a month for a six-month Anytime delivery pass, which includes same-day delivery, or £6.99 a month if you sign up for 12 months. For click and collect, a six-month package is charged at £2.49 a month.
Delivery and collection options include standard and next day, which have a slot length of 1-2 hours. Standard home deliveries are available 7 days a week while Flexi saver has a slot length of 4 hours. Tesco explains: "Our cheaper slots offer a 4-hour time window. On the day of delivery, you’ll receive a text confirming your allocated 1-hour time slot. These are available 7 days a week.
