Shipt is a US-focused same-day delivery marketplace that connects shoppers with local stores to deliver groceries, household goods and select home-and-kitchen items to your door. Launched in 2014 and acquired by Target in 2017, Shipt operates through an app and website that let customers place orders from participating retailers; local contract shoppers pick, pack and deliver items on a scheduled same-day or next-day basis. The service emphasizes speed and convenience over competing options that focus on in-store pickup.

Orders on Shipt come from a mix of national and regional grocery chains, drugstores and big-box retailers, so the selection you see mirrors what those stores stock rather than an independent Shipt inventory. The app shows item availability and lets you communicate directly with the shopper during picking, add substitution preferences, and track the delivery in real time. Shipt supports recurring and one-off orders, and many customers use it for weekly grocery runs, last-minute meal ingredients and bulky household essentials they’d rather not transport themselves.

The practical trade-offs are straightforward: Shipt is built for convenience and time savings, not discount prices. Membership or per-order fees apply, and service value depends on how often you use it and whether participating stores serve your ZIP code. Quality can vary because each order is fulfilled by a local shopper; most users report consistent, friendly service with occasional substitution or selection issues. If you prioritize same-day home delivery from familiar retailers and want a mobile-first ordering experience, Shipt is one of the better-known options in the US market.
