Tesco Announces Exact Date Easter Delivery Slots Open

• Tesco offers early access to Easter delivery slots for Delivery Pass customers.
• Annual Delivery Pass holders can book from 6am, February 20, ahead of others.
• Regular shoppers can book their Easter delivery slots from February 27.

As Easter quickly approaches, bringing with it the anticipation of family gatherings and festive meals, Tesco has unveiled a clever strategy for those looking to sidestep the supermarket rush. For many, the holiday season transforms grocery stores into arenas of chaos, particularly as Easter Sunday sees many establishments closing their doors. This year, with Good Friday on March 29, Easter Sunday on March 31, and Bank Holiday Monday on April 1, the urgency to fill pantries is palpable.

In a move to streamline the holiday hustle, Tesco is extending an olive branch to its Delivery Pass customers, granting them first pick of the Easter delivery slots. This exclusive early access starts 20th February, offering a significant lead time over non-pass holders, who find themselves waiting until 27th February to secure their delivery times.

Olivia Marshall at The Sun highlighted this opportunity, noting the convenience of online shopping to avoid the crowded aisles and long queues typical of the holiday season. Tesco’s initiative not only prioritizes customer convenience but also underscores the benefits of their Delivery Pass system.

The Delivery Pass, available in various formats including monthly, six-monthly, and annual plans, is essentially a ticket to hassle-free shopping. With options tailored to different shopping habits, including an anytime delivery plan for £6.99 per month and an off-peak plan at £3.99 per month, customers can choose the scheme that best suits their needs. While the off-peak plan restricts users to post-3pm slots without the perk of early access during the Christmas and Easter rushes, the anytime plan offers unrestricted access, ensuring a spot in the often competitive holiday delivery schedule.

Adding to the allure of the Delivery Pass, Tesco shoppers can continue to accrue Clubcard points with each Easter purchase, turning routine shopping into an opportunity to save. These points can be redeemed for vouchers, providing discounts on future purchases or experiences with Tesco’s reward partners.

Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, commented, "Tesco's decision to offer early Easter delivery slots to Delivery Pass holders is a smart move for savvy shoppers. It not only eases the stress of holiday preparations but also reinforces the value of the Delivery Pass. For those who shop online regularly, this could be a game-changer in managing holiday expenses and avoiding the last-minute rush."
