Shipt is offering support to families during the back-to-school season by providing same-day delivery and features aimed at saving time. Through the Target Circle 360 paid membership, users can access Shipt’s marketplace, which includes over 100 retailers such as CVS, Office Depot, Office Max, and Lowe’s Home Improvement. The service now offers no price markups for most items except select alcohol products.
According to Shipt, families can use its platform to order school lunch supplies, classroom materials, and meal planning items with fewer trips to stores. Members of Target Circle 360 can save $10 on orders of $50 or more using the code BACKTOSCHOOL between August 7 and September 12.
“With a few simple taps, families can shop for back to routine essentials and more from retailers like CVS, Office Depot, Office Max, Lowe’s Home Improvement, to name a few,” the company stated.
The National Retail Federation reported that by early July 2024, about 55% of back-to-school and college shoppers had already started purchasing items for the upcoming academic year (https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/record-back-school-and-college-spending-expected). Shipt aims to serve both those who have already begun shopping and those still preparing for the school year.
Shipt highlights features such as digital cart building and real-time updates from personal shoppers as ways it reduces stress for members. “With Shipt’s help, families are heading into the school year with more savings and fewer store runs,” according to the release.
