OUR VERDICT
Postmates

Best for: LA-area residents who prefer Postmates' local restaurant and store catalog over Uber Eats' interface. Both use the same Uber driver network, but Postmates has deeper local merchant relationships in Southern California.

Try Postmates
Shipt

Best for: Frequent Target shoppers who want same-day delivery and spend $200+ per month at Target. The $99 per year membership breaks even at roughly 5–6 orders and the integration with Target Circle rewards is a real perk.
