Getting groceries and essentials delivered fast has become big business these days, with Target leading the pack in terms of convenience and affordability. In fact, Target will deliver your order to your door for free—even on the same day! It’s all a part of a partnership with Shipt, and the Groupon Coupons team is here to tell you all about it.
Target Same-Day Delivery: What Is It and How Does It Work?
Shipt is a local community of shoppers that will grab your Target order and deliver it the same day. You choose a one-hour delivery window, and they’ll bring your entire order right to your door. The service, which is available in all major metro areas and most of the United States, is uber convenient for stocking up on groceries and quickly refilling household essentials. Impromptu dinner party and not enough plates? You can buy both your dinnerware and recipe ingredients at Target and have them delivered to your doorstep in the knick of time. Here’s how Target Same-Day Delivery works:
1. Add eligible items (they’ll have a Same-Day Delivery option on the product page) to your cart, or shop the Same-Day Delivery page. You’ll need to spend at least $35 to be eligible for Same-Day Delivery.
2. Choose your one-hour delivery window at checkout. At this point, you can either sign up for a free four-week trial of Shipt or pay a $9.99 delivery fee.
3. Select backup items in case your product is out of stock. You can also send a note to your Shipt shopper.
4. Pay for your order and wait for your goodies to arrive. Your Shipt shopper will text you if they have any questions about substitutions or where to leave the delivery. You can tip your driver in cash at the door or later through your Target account.
How Much Does Target Same-Day Delivery Cost?
The cost of a Shipt subscription, which includes a limitless number of Same-Day Deliveries, is $99/year. If you choose to pay as you go instead, you can get Same-Day Delivery for $9.99/order. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN GET AN ANNUAL SHIPT SUBSCRIPTION FOR JUST $49/YEAR. (Ends 5/18)
How Do You Get Target Same-Day Delivery for Free?
Beneath your order total on the checkout page you’ll see a checkbox for a free four-week trial to Shipt. Select it and poof! Your $9.99 delivery charge disappears. At the end of the trial, you can either cancel your membership or be charged the $99/year subscription fee.

Other Ways to Get Free Target Delivery
Spend $35 or More at Target
Any Target customer can get their order delivered free (some even qualify for free two-day shipping!) when they spend $35 or more. The good news, as any Target shopper with the intention of buying "just a few things" can attest, is hitting that $35 threshold is extremely easy to do. Target has an impressive range of items, including household cleaning products, cosmetics, apparel, and adorable home décor pieces, so you’re likely to find something (usually on sale) you didn’t know you 100% have to have. Target is dangerous that way.
Use Your Target RedCard
You’ll get free two-day shipping on most items at Target when you use your Target Circle Card. Sign up is free but subject to approval, and you can choose between a debit or credit card. Both cards come with loads of other benefits, including 5% off your order and exclusive deals year-round. You can also amp up the savings by getting the latest deals with the Target Circle app, a free loyalty program previously called Cartwheel. Lastly, be sure to check out the Target Weekly Ad for any free gift card deals (there’s usually a few).
Find a Target Free Shipping Code
If you’re not a Target Circle Card holder and don’t meet the $35 purchase minimum, you might be able to score free shipping with a Target promo code. Target traditionally offers free shipping during the holidays, starting the week of Black Friday and lasting through the Christmas shopping season. Be sure to browse through Groupon Coupons’ collection of Target discount codes before checking out to save with free shipping.
