Why? It’s pretty easy: you get your groceries delivered to your door. Since 2018, we’ve been using Shipt. Is it worth it? In short, yes.
It’s one of the few services we simply could not live without – and that isn’t just because of the pandemic. We’ve still got two little kids: ages 2 and 4 as of time of this rewrite of the Shipt Review. When’s the last time you went to the grocery store with two little kids? It’s terrible. Like, “I’d rather be a the dentist” terrible.
That’s not even an stretch. All the parents of 2 are nodding their head (and probably crying at the same time). \n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id=”7″ ][cs_element_column _id=”8″ ][x_feature_list ][x_feature_box title=”;tldr Shipt review” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”60px” graphic_shape=”circle” graphic_color=”#ffffff” graphic_bg_color=”#ff5d00″ align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”thumbs-up” ]The best way to NOT got to a grocery store – and the cheapest![/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=”His Shipt Review” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”60px” graphic_shape=”circle” graphic_color=”#ffffff” graphic_bg_color=”#ff5d00″ align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”male” ]Easy to use and keeps me out of the grocery store.[/x_feature_box][x_feature_box title=”Her Shipt Review ” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”60px” graphic_shape=”circle” graphic_color=”#ffffff” graphic_bg_color=”#ff5d00″ align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”female” ]Awesome service.

Shipt is a grocery delivery service. They have an easy-to-use app where you can select your groceries (from Kroger/King Soopers, Target, GNC, Bed Bath & Beyond, Petco, Office Depot/Office Max and Safeway, where we live). You select a delivery time and someone delivers the groceries during the selected time.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_image _id=”20″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”21″ ][cs_element_row _id=”22″ ][cs_element_column _id=”23″ ][cs_element_text _id=”24″ ][cs_content_seo]Shipt Review – How does the grocery delivery service work?
Shipt is SUPER easy to use. After you sign up for Shipt (make sure to use our Shipt Promo Code!), making your grocery delivery selection is super easy!  Here’s how Shipt works.
\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”25″ ][cs_element_row _id=”26″ ][cs_element_column _id=”27″ ][cs_element_image _id=”28″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”29″ ][cs_element_text _id=”30″ ][cs_content_seo]Using the Shipt App is super easy. Just open up the app, and start searching, browse categories, check out what’s on sale, things you’ve already bought or your favorites.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id=”31″ ][cs_element_column _id=”32″ ][cs_element_image _id=”33″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”34″ ][cs_element_text _id=”35″ ][cs_content_seo]In this example, we search for eggs. Turns out Target has a ton of different options! We selected the first option. We’ve also bought them before, so it’s cool that Shipt sees that. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id=”36″ ][cs_element_column _id=”37″ ][cs_element_image _id=”38″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”39″ ][cs_element_text _id=”40″ ][cs_content_seo]Once you click on the item, it shows you more details. Some items have a lot of details, others don’t.
Note: Shipt does not show the nutritional label on every item, but they have a surprising number of pictures – many have the label on them. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id=”41″ ][cs_element_column _id=”42″ ][cs_element_image _id=”43″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”44″ ][cs_element_text _id=”45″ ][cs_content_seo]Once you add to cart, you can select a delivery window. You’ll notice that the time is 9:34 PM in this example. This is right before Target closes. However, on most days, you can get Target items delivered about 2 – 3 hours after you order them. That’s pretty amazing! \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id=”46″ ][cs_element_column _id=”47″ ][cs_element_image _id=”48″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”49″ ][cs_element_text _id=”50″ ][cs_content_seo]You have the option to let the shopper automatically pick a substitute or have them text you. We have them text us. In this case, they didn’t have a two pack of sunscreen – so the shopper asked if we would be ok with 2 of the same sunscreen instead. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_row _id=”51″ ][cs_element_column _id=”52″ ][cs_element_text _id=”53″ ][cs_content_seo]TYPICAL SHIPT TIMELINEOrder placed: 5:23 PMGroceries arrived: 6:41 pmOrder? Perfect.

What else do you want? If you’re like us, you may worry that you were being overcharged. Let’s dive into what’s REALLY cheaper (and better) – Shipt, Clicklist or Instacart?
We decided to break this into two posts: this Shipt Review and an online grocery delivery service comparison.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”54″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”55″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”56″ ][cs_element_line _id=”57″ ][cs_element_text _id=”58″ ][cs_content_seo]Shipt: Is it more expensive than the store?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”59″ ][cs_content_seo]Not many people know this, but most other delivery services (including DoorDash + Uber Eats), typically mark up the prices you see on their website from what you would see in-store. However, Shipt does not do that for Target. That’s because Shipt is now owned by Target.  
However, now Shipt tells you what stores have the same – or more expensive pricing – directly on the website.

However, other stores, don’t have the same pricing, like King Soopers here locally:
\n\nshipt in store pricing[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”60″ ][cs_element_line _id=”61″ ][cs_element_text _id=”62″ ][cs_content_seo]Shipt: What other great features do they have?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”63″ ][cs_content_seo]One of the best features of Shipt is how integrated they are with Target. Their inventory is pretty darn close to what is actually in store at Target.
The other great thing is their substitution options. They have three great options:

Let your shopper decide (great if you can’t respond during their shopping time).
Have the shopper text you to ask for what substitution you want.
This is a new feature: give a substitution option IN the app.

The last option is a REALLY great feature. If you don’t care EXACTLY what kind of Tide you want, but want to make sure it is Tide, for example, the App makes it really easy to select a substitution if your first choice isn’t available. 
It is easy to select a substitution option in shipt. \n\nship substitution options[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_row _id=”64″ ][cs_element_column _id=”65″ ][cs_element_line _id=”66″ ][cs_element_text _id=”67″ ][cs_content_seo]Shipt: We test the claims\n\n[/cs_content_seo][x_feature_list ][x_feature_box title=”Same Day Delivery” graphic=”icon” graphic_size=”60px” graphic_shape=”circle” graphic_color=”#ffffff” graphic_bg_color=”#2ecc71″ align_h=”left” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” child=”true” connector_width=”1px” connector_style=”dashed” connector_color=”#272727″ graphic_icon=”thumbs-o-up” ]Yup!
