You can order some groceries online at Costco.com, of course, but you might need to wait up to five days for delivery. Faster express delivery in a day or two is available on certain items for an extra charge. But if even a day or two is too long to wait, then consider using an online grocery delivery service that will send a personal shopper to Costco to fill your order and rush it to your front door.
Just keep in mind that the speed and convenience don’t come cheap. Instacart, which operates in 46 states and the District of Columbia , promises to deliver your Costco grocery order in as little as one hour. You don’t even need to be a Costco member. Instacart charges a delivery fee — the amount varies depending on your order — plus the prices you pay for your groceries might be higher than what Costco members would pay in-store.
Another service, Shipt, offers unlimited home delivery of groceries from multiple retailers including Costco for $99 a year (or $14 per month). The app-based service is currently available to Costco members in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
