Remember the days of wandering the mall and snacking on a huge pretzel from the food court while you casually browsed for gifts? Fast forward to 2020 and the goal for holiday shopping this season is to be safely tucked away, not touching things.
So, why should you do Sam’s Club curbside Pickup instead of Prime delivery or (gasp) your usual in-store shopping? Let us count the ways.
Slay your list via your phone
Next time your roomie is gabbing your ear off, grab your phone and tackle your list on the Sam’s Club app. You can also buy just one thing, like a new pair of noise-canceling earbuds. You’ll still get free Pickup.
Stay in the car
Fill your virtual cart with a new Samsung Tab for nana, a Norelco shaver for your pops, and a DiGiorno frozen pizza for dinner, choose a pickup time, and then park it while the pros load the trunk.
Save big with no delivery fees
Get in on a Sam’s Club Plus membership for $100 a year and curbside Pickup is always free. Even Basic members, who pay just $45 a year, can get free Pickup right now for a limited time.
Skip the crowds and schedule your Pickup
Pickup is from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, but one of the perks of being a Plus member is that you get special curbside service starting at 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Early bird gets it every time.
Slack and shop at the same time
If you’re tethered to your desk all day, do your shopping while waiting for that video meeting to start. Then take your desk on the go as you fire off some emails while parked in the Sam’s Club Pickup spot. Ah, multitasking.
Get your goods same-day
If you’re used to two-day delivery schedules, then Sam’s Club Pickup will feel like warp speed. Some orders of 10 items or less can be picked up in a measly four hours.
Never sweat stolen packages
If you’re still waiting for that hot pot you ordered weeks ago, Pickup delivers the goods straight to your car. Nothing’s lost in transit or ripe for package thieves.
