I have NOT subscribed to the service but in my area, I have found that if I answer the question "how do you want to get your items?" with "Shipping" and then start shopping the app, many of the things I order will wind up being delivered from the local store the same day at no charge as long as the entire order is over $35.  Since I discovered this I have often wondered why anyone would purchase the service unless this is not the policy in all areas.  I am in a rural, small town area and about three miles from the store.

 

 


@IShopQ  -  I also do the free shipping for over 35.00, but many items are not able to be shipped.  Many have to be picked up.   So I understand why the delivery service is worth every penny to some.

It's not worth it to me.  First I like to pick out my own meat, fruit & vegtables. I am very picky.  My store is only 6 mi & they took the gas station out in 2007.  We have no Exxon & Mobil gas stations.  I go maybe once a week & browse.  I find clearance  items & buy for the grandkids.  I enjoy getting out.

I have used this service for about 4 years.  I absolutely love it.  They do have a discounted annual subscription every so often which makes it even better.  I have social anxiety in stores so this has been great for me on an ongoing basis.  It also was a HUGE lifesaver when I broke my femur a while back and couldn't get to a store even if I wanted to!
