Shipt, the retail technology company that connects customers to delightful delivery, is showing up in a big way, sharing savings and reliable solutions as the final hours of the shopping season are upon us.
Shipt will save the holiday for last-minute consumers, announcing three key ways they are bringing solutions for the season. First, Shipt is offering reliable delivery in as soon as one hour with no holiday surcharges on all orders placed before 4 p.m. local time on Sunday, December 24. This last-minute option will give customers every opportunity to spend more quality time with family and friends without the stress of shopping for last-minute or forgotten items. Second, Shipt is making holiday shopping even faster and smarter, introducing AI-powered Search, a new enhanced search tool to help customers with gifting and entertaining ideas all season long. Third, Shipt has developed a new order tracking tool to provide real-time updates as shoppers move through consumers’ lists.
Shipt is also continuing its months-long Season of Savings event, launching even more deep savings on a variety of popular stocking stuffer items, holiday meal essentials, gifting, and more, including:
The gift of Shipt: Between now and December 30, customers can gift themselves or a loved one Shipt’s annual membership at a deeply discounted price of $49/year (reg. $99). Members receive unlimited free delivery on all orders over $35, special access to member-only deals, a collection of perks, and features like Preferred Shopper, and more*.
Last-Minute Gift Savings (Exclusively for Shipt members): Between December 17 and 24, members will enjoy $10 off orders of $25 or more, and save on popular beauty products, toys, entertainment items like books, movies, and more. This savings event is ideal for those last-minute gifts and stocking stuffers, with many items under $20**.

In-store pricing from Target, Sephora, Petsmart, Walgreens, and more, reflects Shipt’s commitment to continually delighting members and potential customers with compelling savings and solutions opportunities, especially as consumers are faced with increased prices and uncertainty this holiday season.
