Shipt

SCORE5.0FAIR

Target-owned same-day delivery with 130+ retail partners

BEST FORFrequent 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.

Total Cost (Fees, Markups & Tips)▼4/10

Shipt charges a $99 per year membership plus per-item markups on non-Target stores. At Target, prices match in-store, but service fees and tips still apply on top.

Store Selection & Availability▼7/10

130+ retail partners including Target, CVS, Meijer, H-E-B, and Costco. Availability varies by market and many partner stores are only accessible in select regions.

Delivery Speed & Reliability▼6/10

Same-day delivery in 1–2 hours is the standard promise. Shipt's low Trustpilot score is driven largely by late deliveries and incomplete orders, which points to inconsistent reliability.

Membership Value & Overlap▼5/10

At $99 per year, Shipt's membership is comparable to Instacart+ but offers fewer perks outside waived delivery fees. Target Circle 360 at $49 per year also includes Shipt, making the standalone plan a poor deal for Target shoppers.

App Experience & Support▼3/10

Shipt has a low Trustpilot rating with recurring complaints about refunds denied for missing items, poor substitution handling, and difficulty reaching support.

Healthy Selection▼5/10

Shipt's retail partners include Costco, Target, H-E-B, and Meijer, but not Sprouts or Whole Foods — Sprouts is an Instacart-exclusive partnership, while Whole Foods is Amazon-owned and delivers primarily through Amazon's own channel plus Instacart, not Shipt — so shoppers can reach some organic sections through Costco but lack a dedicated health-format grocer, and Shipt itself sells no private-label groceries so there's no in-house recall record to weigh.

PROS
✓Target orders through Shipt match in-store prices with no markup. Target Circle rewards and discounts apply to your Shipt order.
✓130+ retail partners including H-E-B, Meijer, Costco, and CVS — useful for shoppers in markets where those chains are dominant.
✓Membership at $99 per year covers unlimited deliveries on orders over $35 with no per-delivery fee.
✓Target Circle 360 membership at $49 per year includes Shipt delivery — frequent Target shoppers can get the service for half the standalone price.
✓You can rate shoppers and request preferred shoppers for future orders — one of the few services that lets you build a repeat relationship.
✓Orders can be scheduled up to 7 days in advance with a specific delivery window.
CONS
✕Low Trustpilot score driven by consistent reports of missing items, denied refund requests, and late or missing deliveries.
✕Refund disputes are a known problem. Multiple users report missing items being ruled ineligible for refund with no clear escalation path.
✕Partner store availability outside Target is highly market-dependent. The 130+ partners figure does not reflect what is actually available in your zip code.
✕The $99 per year standalone membership is a worse deal than Target Circle 360 at $49 per year for anyone who shops Target.
✕No markup-free pricing at non-Target partner stores — you pay Instacart-style markups without Instacart's store network.
✕Shopper reliability complaints suggest the platform has quality control problems compared to Instacart's larger shopper pool.
