Taking the Delivery Woes Out of Your Holiday Shopping Spree

The human knowhow stretches in and around many critical areas, but despite that, it touches nothing more significant than our ability of getting better on a consistent basis. We say this because the stated reality has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new discovery ends up with the desired impact, it will only make that trend bigger and better moving forward.

Shipt, the retail technology company that connects customers to delightful delivery, has officially announced the launch of time-saving delivery solutions that are designed to cope with the needs of holiday season. According to certain reports, the stated development will deliver on its value proposition in three prominent ways. Firstly, Shipt will offer reliable delivery in as soon as one hour, at no holiday surcharges, and it will do so against all orders placed before 4 p.m. local time on Sunday, December 24. Next up, the company is set to introduce an AI-powered Search functionality, an enhanced search tool which will help customers with gifting and entertaining ideas all season long. Given the availability of AI intelligence, this particular solution should go a long way when it comes to making holiday shopping faster and smarter. Complimenting the same is an avenue where Shipt has launched a brand-new order tracking tool to provide real-time updates as consumers move through their shopping lists. Apart from that, Shipt is taking this opportunity to scale up its popular Season of Savings event. Bringing deeper savings on popular stocking stuffer items, holiday meal essentials, gifting, and more, the company has confirmed that, between now and 30th December 2023, its annual membership will be available at a discounted rate of $49/year. People who choose to avail the offer and become members can expect to receive unlimited free delivery on all orders worth over $35, special access to member-only deals, a collection of unique perks, and features like Preferred Shopper etc. Then, there is the prospect of last-minute gift savings that will be only available for members. Running between December 17 and 24, the offer will give you $10 off on orders worth $25 or more. Furthermore, it will help you save big on popular beauty products, toys, entertainment items like books, and movies etc. A similar savings possibility is presented in the context of holiday eating and brunch savings. Hence, you can stay in and save almost $20 on orders valued at $100 or more. This works alongside Shipt’s same-day delivery of the full holiday meal, including ham, seafood, side dishes, desserts, and more, again active between from December 17-24. Another detail worth a mention is how the company is bringing greater financial affordability on traditional holiday brunch items like cinnamon rolls, orange juice, and others. In case the whole offering still doesn’t look attractive enough to you, then we must mention that it is also providing in-store pricing from Target, Sephora, Petsmart, and Walgreens. This means you can easily view and compare prices across different brands before finalizing a purchase.

“Our team has been looking forward to the holiday shopping season all year with our partners, and we are excited to deliver savings and solutions right up to Christmas Eve for our customers,” said Katie Stratton, Chief Growth Officer of Shipt. “From gifting options to getting those last-minute stocking stuffers delivered just in time, Shipt is here to simplify holiday tasks and create space for more time with loved ones this year.”

The move, on Shipt’s part, provides an interesting follow-up to some recent findings. Going by the available details, these findings revealed that, in the week leading up to Christmas, Shipt sees its highest increase in order volume. On a granular level, the data delved into how Shipt extended delivery solutions for over 500,000 baking and holiday treat items in just four weeks of holiday shopping during 2022. Keeping up the stated trend is a fact that Shipt’s most popular search terms in December 2023 has been “decor,” “gifts,” “hot chocolate,”, and “wrapping paper” and other related keywords.

Founded in 2014, Shipt has risen up by connecting customers to the things they want from the stores they love, workers to new earning opportunities, and retail businesses to more satisfied customers. The company’s excellence in what does can be understood once you consider that it is, at present, operational in more than 5,000 U.S. cities.
