Instacart to Deliver Fresh-Cut Christmas Trees — Retail Bum

Just in time for the holidays, grocery technology company Instacart is enabling customers to order fresh-cut and artificial trees and a wide variety of seasonal decor via the Instacart App for same-day delivery.

“We’re excited to offer Instacart customers same-day, nationwide tree delivery this holiday season,” said Daniel Danker, chief product officer at Instacart.

“Trimming a holiday tree is a beloved annual tradition for many families, and we’re delighted to offer a convenient and time-saving way for customers to get their trees and seasonal decor with just a few taps, so they can spend more time holiday-ing and less time hauling.”

The timely offering aims to help Instacart customers who may not have the time or a way to transport Christmas trees, giving them a convenient way to get the centerpiece of their holiday celebrations delivered directly to their homes.

The program is powered by Instacart’s Big & Bulky technology and a community of more than 600,000 shoppers. Big & Bulky was launched as a fulfillment solution to enable retailers to offer same-day and scheduled delivery for large items up to 60 pounds.

Instacart noted that live trees up to five feet tall are available for same-day delivery. Customers can also request their delivered trees to be trimmed and leveled via the delivery instructions section before checking out in the Instacart App.

Same-day, nationwide tree delivery is available now on Instacart App for iOS and Android.
