Instacart wants to save customers a trip to the tree lot this holiday season.
For the first time, the grocery technology company is enabling customers to order fresh-cut trees, artificial trees, and a variety of seasonal decor via the Instacart app for same-day delivery from a variety of grocery, wholesale, home improvement, and specialty stores across the country.
The program runs on Instacart’s Big & Bulky technology that enables retailers to offer same-day and scheduled delivery for large items up to 60 pounds. Live trees up to five feet tall are available for same-day Instacart delivery, and customers can also request they be trimmed and leveled via the delivery instructions section before checking out in the Instacart app.
