BJ’s offers same-day delivery subscription program

BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc. continues expanding its portfolio of online delivery options.

The discount club retailer is rolling out Same-Day Select, an add-on to its existing same-day delivery service, across all stores. BJ’s Same-Day Select service is an upgrade option for BJ’s Wholesale Club members, allowing them to pay a one-time fee upfront for either unlimited or a set number of same-day grocery deliveries, delivered in as little as two hours.

The chainwide launch follows the successful testing of the program over the last six months. Customers have the option of selecting from two different Same-Day Select packages:

• Same-Day Select Multipack: 12 free deliveries for a one-year period ($55).
• Same-Day Select Unlimited: Unlimited free deliveries for a one-year period ($100)

Members can enroll in Same-Day Select online. All grocery items, including fresh foods and everyday household essentials, are available for delivery. Additionally, members using Same-Day Select receive in-store pricing as well as the ability to earn rewards and use BJ’s coupons. Eligible items may vary by location. Orders must meet a minimum of $60 to qualify for Same-Day Select delivery.

BJ’s has a number of online delivery options available to its customers. The company most recently teamed up with third-party delivery platform DoorDash to offer on-demand grocery delivery from 226 BJ’s locations across 17 states. BJ’s is the first wholesale club chain available on the DoorDash marketplace. And in addition to BJ's now being available for orders on DoorDash's grocery marketplace, the partnership will also enable same-day online delivery from BJs via DoorDash Drive, DoorDash’s white-label direct fulfillment platform.

In addition, BJ’s has an existing same-day grocery delivery partnership with Instacart. And in 2019, the retailer began offering same-day delivery of beer, wine and spirits from stores in select ZIP codes in six states.

2019 also saw BJ’s quietly introduce a program called BJ’s Stocked, which delivers essential products in two days. Eligible items include canned and packaged food, candy and cookies, health and beauty, cleaning, and baby and kids. Orders must be placed by 1 p.m. for two-day delivery.

“We know convenience and value are key to our members, and with BJ’s Same-Day Delivery, our members can have all the great value they expect from the club delivered right to their front door,” said Monica Schwartz, executive VP and chief digital officer, BJ’s Wholesale Club. “We are excited to expand on our service by offering our members both a package or an unlimited option for deliveries to make the convenience and savings easier than ever.”

“This program was designed to help our members take advantage of the benefits of Same-Day Delivery, while saving them time and money,” said Tim Morningstar, executive VP and chief membership officer, BJ’s Wholesale Club. “The immense success in our testing shows that our member recognizes the added value that this service provides, further contributing to the benefits of being a BJ’s member.”

Headquartered in Westborough, Mass., BJ's Wholesale Club currently operates 226 clubs and 158 BJ's Gas locations in 17 states on the East Coast. Founded in 2013, DoorDash is a technology company that provides same-day delivery from local and national businesses in more than 7,000 cities across the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan and Germany.
