Warehouse club expedites launch of contact-free
pickup experience chainwide
Sam’s Club today announced the nationwide launch of curbside
pickup. The service, which provides a contact-free, order online
and delivery to car shopping experience, will be free for
Plus-level members and is expected to be available in all clubs by
the end of June. Curbside pickup is part of a list of
Plus-membership benefits, which also includes early shopping hours,
free shipping on most online items, 2% cash back on qualifying
in-club and pickup purchases, and more.
Sam’s Club has been piloting curbside pickup at 16 clubs with
positive results from busy families and business owners. The
company is expediting the rollout – taking it to all 597 clubs – to
appeal to customer shopping preferences and growing desires for
convenient options that fit into consumers’ lives.
“Sam’s Club members have been integrating technology into their
shopping habits for a while with Scan & Go, samsclub.com and
in-club pickup,” said Lance de la Rosa, Chief Operating Officer,
Sam’s Club. “As we continue to innovate to make the shopping
experience better and faster for our members, we’re proud to be
able to quickly implement and offer curbside pickup across the
country, particularly during a time when they are searching for
alternative ways to shop.”
Here is how it works:
- After setting up an account, members place orders via the Sam’s
Club app or at samsclub.com. Products marked ‘Pick up in Club’ are
eligible.
- Members will then complete an online shopping list, select a
pickup time and checkout. Same-day pickup is available.
- Upon arrival to the club, members will use one of the
designated pickup spots, and a Sam’s Club associate will load items
into their cars.
Plus members will be able to schedule curbside pickup orders
between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Sundays. Non-Plus members will be able to use this new Plus
benefit at no cost for a limited time, however, pickup times will
be limited and only available 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.., Monday to
Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Members who are
interested in adding this free service can upgrade to a Plus
membership at any time.
“While free Curbside Pickup is a new Plus member benefit, we
recognize all of our members are looking for contact-free shopping
options as part of the current environment,” said de la Rosa.
“Because of that, we are going to temporarily make the service
available for every member and do what we can to help them get the
products they need, when and how they want them.”
Sam’s Club will also continue to offer its Concierge Service for
seniors and high risk members every Tuesday and Thursday from 7
a.m. to 9 a.m., and Hero Hours every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.,
until further notice. You can view a full list of member benefits
