By GlobalDataInstacart retail vice-president Andrew Nodes said: “Grocery delivery has become essential for millions, and we’re proud to make same-day delivery from Costco available to even more Canadians. Now, through the Instacart marketplace and Costco’s new member website, families across Canada can get the groceries and goods they need, delivered to their door in a matter of hours.
“We want to help retailers reach their customers when, where and how they want to shop. With this launch, we’re extending the reach of Costco in Canada and making it possible for Costco members and non-members alike to access same-day delivery of Costco’s broad selection of groceries and goods.”
Same-day delivery is being launched following a two-month pilot in select Ontario warehouses.
In April this year, Instacart launched prescription delivery to a number of wholesale club Costco locations as there is increasing customer demand for grocery, household goods and personal healthcare delivery.
