Tesco has today announced it is extending its Same Day Click and Collect service, allowing customers to pick up their online groceries more quickly and easily than ever before. Customers can now order an unlimited number of items before 9am and book a two hour window to collect their groceries from midday onwards. This new slot is in addition to the existing offer, where customers can order by 1pm to pick up from 4pm. The service will now be available from more than 300 locations across the UK.

Tesco's customers are increasingly turning to Click and Collect as a quick and convenient way to get their groceries with a 20% increase in the number of customers using the service in the past year. The Same Day collection option has proved particularly popular with almost 10% of Click and Collect orders now placed on the same day.

The new slot gives Tesco's online customers more choice than ever before on how to receive their groceries. Adrian Letts, Managing Director of Online at Tesco, said: “More customers than ever are choosing to use our grocery Click and Collect service which is we've decided to introduce a new same day collection slot. We offer a range of ways to shop with Tesco and Click and Collect means customers can choose to pick up their shopping at a time and location that suits them, without having to hit the aisles themselves.”

These changes further improve Tesco's online grocery service options open to customers with the retailer also offering same day home delivery to customers in London and the South East. Customers can order by 1pm to have their shopping on their doorstep from 6pm onwards.

To better reflect the cost of delivering the service and including this extra option, Tesco's Click and Collect service is now priced between £0 and £4 depending on time and day of collection. Click and Collect and Same Day Delivery are free of charge for all Delivery Saver customers.
