Target’s Drive Up Service Now Includes Starbucks Pick Up
Your future Target runs could take place entirely in the parking lot! 😱
In 2022, Target announced plans to expand its same-day pickup services by adding a few new features that curbside pick-up shoppers were sure to love.
One major addition they tested was the addition of making returns from the onlinefort of your car with Target Drive Up. Now that testing has turned into a nationwide rollout – SO AWESOME!
If you have a return but don’t want to enter the store, you can initiate a return via the Target app and onlineplete it in the Drive-Up lane. It’s fast, free, and so convenient!
It’s a great option if you don’t want to take all the kiddos inside, if the weather is inclement, you have mobility issues, or just if you simply don’t want to get out of the car. 😅
Now you can add Starbucks to your Drive Up order!
Target has also announced that customers can now add Starbucks to a Drive Up order! This feature is rolling out to stores nationwide and will be available at all 1,700+ Targets with both Starbucks and Drive Up by October!
Ordering Starbucks for Drive Up is easy! Simply click on the Order Details page and tap that you’re on the way for your Drive Up pickup. Then, you’ll receive a prompt in the app to place your order from a Starbucks menu. Add up to 8 items from under the Starbucks Cafe option, click “Add for Drive Up,” and pay for your order. Once you arrive in the Drive Up parking area, tap “I’m here” in the Target app. Upon arrival, a Target Drive Up team member will deliver both your Target and Starbucks orders directly to your car. Yay!
Just make sure to arrive within 30 minutes or your Starbucks order may be discarded.
Target’s “backup item” functionality is expanding, also.
In addition to these exciting Drive Up enhancements, Target is also planning to expand its “backup item” functionality to more categories (like beauty and household essentials), so shoppers can suggest substitutions for unavailable items.
“Our guests continue to tell us they love the ease and convenience of Drive Up, and they have been asking us to add even more of the Target experience to the service. Adding a Starbucks order and easy returns, while expanding our backup item options, will give guests even more of what they love about shopping at Target, quickly and easily.” – Mark Schindele, Target’s chief stores officer
