Booking a Tesco Christmas delivery slot can be a bit tricky due to the high demand during the festive season. Look for the “Select a Delivery Slot” option at tesco.com/groceries, and it will show you the available time slots for your area.
Here’s how you can book a Tesco Christmas delivery slot, as well as some tips to increase your chances of securing one.
How to Book a Tesco Christmas Delivery Slot:
1. Set Up an Account or Log In
Make sure you have a Tesco account. You’ll need to be logged in to access available delivery slots.
Sign Up: If you don’t have an account, visit Tesco’s Sign-Up Page to create one.
Login: If you already have an account, simply log in using your credentials on the Tesco Grocery Page.
2. Go to the Delivery Slots Section
Once logged in, go to the “Delivery” section on the Tesco website or open the Tesco Grocery App.
Look for the “Select a Delivery Slot” option, and it will show you the available time slots for your area.
3. Check Availability
Choose Your Delivery Date: In the case of Christmas deliveries, Tesco will open up delivery slots weeks in advance, so the earlier you check, the better your chances of getting a desirable slot.
Christmas Slot Availability: Note that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day delivery slots will likely be among the first to fill up. Make sure to book as early as possible, especially if you want delivery on a specific day like December 24th or 25th.
4. Add Items to Your Cart
Start Shopping: You can add all your groceries to your cart before selecting the slot, or you can select the slot and then continue shopping.
Check for Popular Items: Be aware that high-demand items like turkeys, Christmas puddings, or alcohol might be out of stock, so add them to your cart early if you can.
5. Select Your Delivery Slot
After adding items, go back to the “Select Delivery Slot” section, and you should see a list of available delivery times.
Choose the date and time that works best for you.
Note on Slot Types: Tesco often has multiple delivery options, like:
Same-day Delivery (if available in your area)
Next-day Delivery
Prime Time Slots (e.g., evenings)
TIP: For busy periods, like Christmas, be flexible with your delivery times if possible. You might have to choose a slightly later or earlier time.
6. Confirm Your Order and Payment
After selecting your delivery time, proceed to checkout and enter your payment details.
Confirm your order and review the total cost, including any delivery charges.
Tesco offers Delivery Saver plans, which could give you priority booking for delivery slots during busy times like Christmas.
7. Keep an Eye on Slot Availability
Check Back Regularly: Sometimes, slots become available again if someone cancels or if Tesco adds more slots. Try checking back regularly if you can’t find a slot.
Set Up Alerts: In the past, Tesco has allowed customers to sign up for notifications when slots become available for booking, so keep an eye out for any such option.

Tips for Securing a Tesco Christmas Delivery Slot
Book Early: Tesco usually opens up slots for Christmas deliveries a few weeks in advance, sometimes as early as November or early December. The earlier you book, the better the chance you’ll get your preferred slot.
Use Tesco Delivery Saver: If you’re a Delivery Saver member, you can get priority access to delivery slots. Consider signing up for a Delivery Saver plan, which can give you access to earlier slots and waive delivery fees for a monthly fee.
Try Off-Peak Times: While slots for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day can fill up quickly, trying for early mornings or late evenings might give you a better chance of securing a slot.
Opt for Click & Collect: If delivery slots are full, Click & Collect might be a good alternative. You can select your groceries online and pick them up at your chosen store.
Avoid Last-Minute Booking: By Christmas week, availability may be very limited. Aim to book your slot at least 1–2 weeks before Christmas to avoid disappointment.
Be Flexible: If you can’t get a slot on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, try the day before Christmas Eve (Dec 23) or Boxing Day (Dec 26) instead.
What If I Can’t Find a Christmas Delivery Slot?
If you’re unable to book a delivery slot, here are a few alternatives:
Use Click & Collect: If delivery slots are fully booked, you may still be able to use Click & Collect, where you order online and then pick up your groceries at a Tesco store.
Order from Another Store: If Tesco is fully booked, consider checking other major grocery retailers like Sainsbury’s, Asda, or Morrisons for delivery slot availability.
Delivery from Local Grocers: If nothing else works, try smaller local grocers or delivery services like Amazon Fresh for last-minute Christmas essentials.
