Meijer Begins Store-To-Door Delivery In Flossmoor

Meijer's home delivery service in Illinois started Thursday.

FLOSSMOOR, IL — Meijer begins offering home delivery to more than 2.5 million households throughout Chicagoland, including many in Flossmoor, on Thursday, July 13. Customers are now able to have orders delivered right to their door through Shipt, Meijer's home delivery partner. The Chicago launch will make home delivery available to more than 200 ZIP codes in Aurora, Algonquin, Bolingbrook, Bloomingdale, Crystal Lake, Elgin, Flossmoor, Hoffman Estates, Naperville, Joliet, Mokena, Orland Park, Oswego, Rolling Meadows, Round Lake Beach, St. Charles, Wheaton and Tinley Park.

Customers will be able to place orders from their computers, tablets or the Shipt smartphone app — but first, they'll have to buy a Shipt membership at a cost of $99 per year. Free delivery is available for orders of $35 or more. There is a $7 delivery fee for orders under $35.

“Our goal is to provide store-to-door convenience to as many of our customers as possible,” Meijer Vice President of Digital Shopping Art Sebastian said in a news release. “We believe that the personalized service that Shipt offers, coupled with the freshness and wide selection our customers love about Meijer, is the perfect meld of online shopping and our brick and mortar locations. Whether you’re too busy or just have difficulty getting around a store, the ability to shop digitally and have it delivered when its most convenient provides a life-changing alternative to the way you’ve always shopped for our groceries.”
