Smith’s Food & Drug Stores has launched grocery delivery to customers’ homes using PigeonShip, a Utah-based delivery service provider.
Utilizing Smith’s online grocery ordering service, ClickList, which offers more than 40,000 items from desktop or mobile devices, customers may now also choose home delivery by PigeonShip as an option to curbside store pick-up in two test market areas. The grocery delivery began on June 15 from Smith’s Marketplace in Saratoga Springs and on June 29 from Smith’s Marketplace in Springville.
“Smith’s ClickList store pickup has been a huge hit with our customers for its convenience and now the home delivery service brings that convenience factor to a whole new level,” said Marsha Gilford, Smith’s southwest regional director for corporate affairs.
Customers may choose the home delivery option with a four-hour window. Home delivery is $11.95 for each trip, with no minimum or maximum order required. The customers can track their groceries en route through an app or email link and will know the precise time the order will arrive. The driver will then carry the groceries to the door.
PigeonShip was founded in Utah, but operates in other states using “already going there” drivers wanting to make some extra income.
