Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s Expand Same-Day Delivery
Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s are expanding same-day delivery service for online and mobile orders to nine additional markets, beginning this month. With this expansion, Macy's, Inc. will offer this service to customers in a total of 17 markets. The charge for same-day delivery is a flat $5 above standard ground shipping fees.
“When we piloted same-day delivery in eight markets initially last fall, we learned that our customers appreciate the additional option of having their purchase brought to their home or office in a matter of hours. It is an important part of our value proposition as an omnichannel retailer serving customers who shop our stores and websites whenever, wherever and however they prefer,” said R.B. Harrison, Macy’s, Inc. chief omnichannel officer. “Our ability to expand same-day delivery is rooted in local merchandise inventories at Macy’s stores, as well as a newly expanded delivery footprint of our partners at Deliv.”
Same-day deliveries to customers are powered by Deliv, a rapidly growing crowdsourced delivery provider, in collaboration with major mall owners, including General Growth Properties, Macerich, PREIT, Simon Property Group,Taubman Centers and Westfield Corporation. In certain markets (currently Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the Bay Area), Deliv also offers pickup of an online purchase being returned to macys.com or bloomingdales.com.
