Customers can place a pickup order through the Instacart app and select their preferred pickup window at checkout.
Shoppers will be notified via the app when their order is ready and can collect it from designated parking spaces where an Albertsons store associate will deliver it to their vehicle.
This service is offered free of charge.
The companies, which partnered in 2017, have also announced the integration of Albertsons Rapid into the Instacart-powered virtual convenience store, enabling customers to receive their orders in as little as thirty minutes.
