Product and Pricing Questions
Our digital coupons must be clipped prior to placing your order (you can clip while you shop!). You will see these reflected in cart. Paper coupons can be applied to your order when review with your associate at car side.
We offer a broad assortment of products and brands for online pickup. You can enjoy shopping the same assortment online as you would your local store at the same price.
Yes. You can purchase alcohol for pickup. We are required to check your ID at the car door, so please have that prepared when we bring your order to your car. In the event you do not have your ID, we will remove any alcohol from the order and return it in store.
Not all time slots are eligible for alcohol pick up as we must abide by local and state laws.
For weighted items, such as produce, deli, meat and seafood, our associates will choose the items that most closely match what you’ve ordered, down to the weight or count.
If you have special instructions (i.e. like ripe avocados) that you would like the shopper to follow, please feel free to provide them by clicking notes on the item page. Click save when done.
Our associates view themselves as you personal shopper and keep quality and freshness as top priority. Rest assured that Pickup Associates will hand-select produce, meat and seafood items for each order with great care. You can use item notes to let us know how you would like the item picked (for example "I like my avocados firm, not soft".
Perishable items like meat, seafood, and produce are picked by associates shortly before your order is scheduled for pickup. We keep items in your order stored in temperature appropriate storage until time of pick up, including refrigeration, freezer, and warmer for those items that require it.
Online prices reflect the price in-store on the day you place your order. Some prices may change between the time you place your order and the time you are charged on your day of pickup. For example, some ad prices are valid Wednesday - Tuesday. If you shop on Tuesday, but select a Wednesday Pickup time, you will be charged Wednesday's prices as that is the date of your selected Pickup time.
If you have a concern about a specific price, please bring it to the associate's attention with a customer note.
Issues with Items and Refunds
Here at Market Place we strive to keep all items in stock, but on occasion an item you’ve selected may be unavailable. Our Pickup associates are trained to make proper substitutions for out of stock items, so your order will always have the items you need, as close to your original order as possible.
When you place your order online, you can indicate whether you’d like to allow substitutions on each item. If a substitution is necessary, we’ll follow the guidance below to fill your order as best we can:
- First, if the same type of out-of-stock item is available in a larger quantity, your order will be upgraded to the larger item.
- If a larger quantity is not available, but the same brand and item is available in a different package (for example, boxed sugar instead of bagged sugar), that item will be substituted.
- If the same brand is not available, the same type of item from a different brand may be substituted.
- Any special dietary items (gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, vegan) will always be substituted with items that meet the same dietary requirements.
There is no need to worry. When we bring your order to the car, we will review any substitutions with you. If you are not satisfied with our selection, you can decline the substitution and we will remove it from the order. Once our associate has reviewed all substitutions, they will finalize your order and print a receipt. Now that's worry-free shopping!
We want you to be satisfied with your order and Pickup experience. If, for any reason, you do not like an item we have picked or substituted on your order, you make return it to the store for a full refund. Please keep your receipt to assist in returns.
