H-E-B is now extending its online, same-day grocery delivery to Waco, Texas, a service it’s been providing in Houston, Woodlands, San Antonio, and Austin for some time now. Without ever having to leave your own home even, the store will complete the shopping for you based on purchases you make through their custom app and have them shipped to your door as early as one hour from the time of order.

Partnering with Shipt.com, this personal shopping service adds to the growing contingent of amenities provided by H-E-B in their efforts to continue to please their customers. With this service, a personal shopper will physically do your shopping for you, in effect completing an errand on your list that you perhaps don’t have the time to do, or maybe are incapable of due to health or physical limitations. Once the list is complete, the service includes delivery of your purchases direct to your door.

Getting started is easy. H-E-B has made accessing the service simple through the establishment of an online Shipt account and the downloading of the Shipt app to your smartphone. After creating your account, you simply select your grocery list, right down to specific brands, and ripeness levels of produce! There’s unlimited free delivery on orders over $35, and with their new promotion, joining will allow you a $15 rebate on your first order.

According to ABC13 in Houston, the annual Shipt membership fee is nominal at $99/year and membership comes with a 14-day free trial. The rate per delivery for members is $7 if spending less than the $35 total previously noted. As well, the personal shoppers can deliver your groceries from 9 a.m. to midnight each day. With that, H-E-B appears to be doing its utmost to save shoppers time and gas money, as well as join a growing movement to streamline online services with in-store sales, which isn’t a bad thing.
