Target testing same-day delivery service in Manhattan
Target has announced that it will soon start testing a same-day delivery service for in-store purchases at its shop in Tribeca, Manhattan. In a notice posted on its website on Monday (1 May), Target said that the new initiative was “all part of its commitment to invest $7bn in capital on stores, digital and supply chain by the end of 2019”.
Target said that the test will begin in June. The customers will be able to have their in-store purchases from the Tribeca delivered “for a small fee, anywhere in Manhattan and to parts of Brooklyn and Queens”.
“At checkout, guests can request to have their purchases delivered later that day during a time window of their choice. Convenient. Easy. And so New York savvy,” said Target, adding that this was “a big deal for city-dwellers hoping to avoid carrying their Target haul home on foot or public transit”.
Target has more than 70 stores in New York, including its first Manhattan location that opened in Harlem in 2010 and the small-format Manhattan store in Tribeca which opened in 2016.
