About

Shipt is a membership-based delivery service that connects customers with products from various retailers, including local and national chains. Founded in 2014, it was acquired by Target Corporation in 2017, expanding its reach and capabilities. Shipt offers same-day delivery options, allowing customers to order groceries, household goods, electronics, and more from stores like Target, CVS, and Costco. Members can customize their orders by adding special requests and specifying substitution preferences for out-of-stock items. Shipt operates through a network of independent contractors who shop and deliver orders. Members can choose from different membership plans, including annual and monthly options, which provide unlimited delivery on orders over $35. The service emphasizes personalized shopping experiences, with shoppers hand-picking produce and handling customer requests. Additionally, Shipt offers real-time communication and exclusive discounts for members, making it a convenient option for those seeking hassle-free shopping experiences.
