Based on the previous reviews I'm guessing the service varies by area because I have using ShipT for over five years and the service and overall experience has been exemplary! I am actually waiting on today's order as I am writing this review. The heat index today is 109° and this is my biggest reason for ordering online, icky weather. So let's talk about ShipT shall we.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Birmingham, AL, Shipt has become a leading player in the same-day delivery industry. The brainchild of entrepreneur Bill Smith, Shipt was created with the mission of making people's lives easier by providing a simple and efficient way to receive groceries and everyday essentials right at their doorstep. I am a testament to their model and has indeed made our lives easier.
In December 2017, Shipt was acquired by Target Corporation for $550 million, enabling the company to expand its reach and offerings. Today, Shipt operates in over 250 cities across the US, partnering with a variety of retailers, including grocery stores, pharmacies, pet supply stores, even office supply stores, and more.
Here's how it works: Shipt offers a user-friendly platform that connects customers with a network of reliable shoppers who carefully select and deliver items from local stores.
Customers can conveniently place orders through the Shipt website or mobile app, and a Shipt shopper will handpick the items and deliver them on the same day, often within as little as an hour.
To enjoy the benefits of Shipt, customers can sign up for a membership, which includes unlimited free deliveries on orders over $35. As of June 2024, Shipt offers a 14-day free trial for new members, after which the membership fee is $99 per year or $14 per month. Members can cancel at any time without any additional fees or commitments.
Popular Features: Aside from ordering, scheduling, and paying on my phone, one of Shipt's most popular features is its "Buy Again" option, which allows me to easily reorder my favorite items from previous orders. Additionally, the platform offers real-time updates on the status of an order, including when the shopper has started shopping, when they're on their way, and when the delivery has been completed. Customers can also leave notes for their shoppers, ensuring that any specific preferences or instructions are taken into account. BTW my shoppers have all been great over the years, and like Uber you get a notice after they've delivered you order and you can choose what tip option is best for you.
Bottom line: As a pioneer in the same-day delivery space, Shipt continues to evolve and innovate, providing a valuable service for busy individuals and families on a convenient and reliable platform. So, whether it's like today's aforementioned icky weather, or you just don't have time to shop I highly recommend ShipT.
Shipt operates seven days a week, with delivery times varying depending on store hours and shopper availability. Typically, customers can schedule deliveries between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM local time.
