When looking for a company that can deliver groceries at your front door, you can think AmazonFresh, Instacart, or shift your attention to the now famous Shipt Grocery Delivery. Lately, Shipt has been generating quite a huge amount of buzz online, only a little over four years since its inception. Obviously, this is because this new kid on the block is truly worth the attention. It has an awesome customer service, fast turn-arounds, and attractive prices. No doubt Shipt has given AmazonFresh, Instacart, and other leading grocery delivery brands a run for their money.
If you plan on shopping for your groceries through Script, we will tell you 6 things you need to keep in mind before placing that Shipt order.
- Check Shipt Facebook pages
The first thing to do as a shopper is to join the Shipt Shopper Lounge where you get to know what is going on across the nation. Here, you can search for virtually anything related to Shipt services. You can find information, make inquiries, ask questions and just get to know Shipt shoppers near you. Other pages you can check out include your local Shipt group pages.
- Shipt is membership-based
Basically, when you sign up for Shipt, you have a two-week trial period after which you will have to make a decision whether you want to take the $99/year or the $14/year membership options. Once you confirm your membership, you can shop through the exclusive and easy-to-use Shipt website and get your items within the hour of placing an order.
- Which brands work with Shipt?
Sadly, Shipt doesn’t deliver groceries from all grocery supplies. Still, you have quite a diverse choice on this one. Since Target actually owns Shipt, you can shop for your groceries from Target. Get your home essentials, pantry items, dog food, and many more. Others good alternatives include Harris Teeter, ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, Meijer Publix, Central Market,Western, Kroger, and H-E-B.
- You can communicate with the shopper as they shop
This one is a major plus for Shipt. As your shopper runs around Target or other grocery stores looking for your items, you can call them and change a few things if need be. If the store is out of stock on certain items, the shopper will equally contact you and ask if you would like a substitute or if you will wait for it to be restocked.
- Shipt operates in 40 metros across the U.S.
Currently, Shipt is in operation in 40 major metros across the United States. Target is working tirelessly to expand its wings and make it a nationwide (if not a worldwide) phenomenon. In fact, by December 2019, it plans to introduce same-day delivery that will cover all product categories at Target and not just essentials and groceries. Since membership isn’t confined to your location, you can shop from anywhere provided Shift is in operation.
- Price
Shipt charges a flat fee of $7 for all deliveries under $35. However, if your order goods worth $35 and above, you pay zero delivery fees for unlimited grocery delivery. Add this to the fact that you can use the new Shipt promo code whenever you want to save a few bucks on your groceries and you have yourself every reason to make all your grocery purchases on Shipt.
So there you have it; the things to know before placing a Shipt order. If you can afford the membership fee and you are sold to the Shipt idea, why not go ahead and utilize their services then use your time to do other meaningful things in life?
