Kohl’s launches same-day delivery with Instacart
Kohl’s Corp. is re-entering the same-day delivery space with a new exclusive partner.
The department store retailer is now providing same-day delivery service for online orders via the Instacart app, which the company says enables nearly 109 million U.S. households to obtain delivery in as fast as an hour from 1,172 Kohl’s stores across the U.S.
Kohl’s has been providing online delivery as soon as next-day, working with package carriers including UPS and USPS, but this exclusive collaboration marks the first time it has offered same-day delivery since partnering with now-defunct platform Deliv in 2015.
Meanwhile, Instacart continues expanding the range of retailers it partners with beyond its core grocery and convenience verticals. Other examples include Best Buy, Big Lots and Staples.
Using Instacart, Kohl’s shoppers can place orders for either same-day or scheduled delivery, with the same prices as in-store. Customers ordering Kohl’s deliveries on Instacart can still earn their Kohl’s Rewards loyalty points.
Product categories eligible for same-day delivery from Kohl’s include accessories, home essentials, premium skincare, beauty items and pet supplies. To begin shopping for same-day delivery of Kohl’s products via Instacart, customers can visit a dedicated storefront on the Instacart e-commerce site or select the Kohl’s storefront on the Instacart App.
For all orders, an Instacart shopper will pick and deliver the order within the customer’s chosen delivery time frame.
“With Kohl’s as one of the first department stores on our platform, we’re proud to continue expanding our selection beyond grocery, making everyday shopping for our customers easier for their busy lives,” said Blake Wallace, senior director, retail partnerships at Instacart. “We’re committed to offering customers a broad selection of items and ways to get exactly what they need from the retailers they know and love.”
Based in Menomonee Falls, Wis., Kohl's Corp. operates more than 1,100 stores in 49 states.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Instacart partners with more than 1,400 national, regional, and local retail banners to deliver from more than 80,000 stores across more than 14,000 cities in North America.
