The total you see before you order is made of these parts, and nothing else:
- The shop’s own price
- What the shop charges for the piece. We never mark it up.
- Service fee
- One fee for finding it and buying it. It is made of two things. Shopping: $19 when your shopper buys at an independent store and $25 at a mall or big-box store (if an order has more than one kind of shop, the higher fee applies), plus $4 for each extra piece from a shop already in your order and $12 for each extra shop. And a part that grows with the pieces’ price: 4% of the first $250, 2% of the next $750 and 1% above $1,000, never more than $50. That part and card processing (the next line) together are never more than $60 on pieces up to $2,000; above that, only the card processor’s own charge on the part above $2,000 is added. When that limit is reached, the part that grows with the price comes down first. A pickup of something you already bought has its own, smaller service fee (section 10).
- Card processing
- What our card processor, Square, charges to take the payment, on its own line and at cost: we keep none of it. It covers the processor’s charge on the whole total, so it grows a little with delivery and tax. It is not a surcharge, and it is the same whichever card you use. On a very expensive piece, where the limit above is reached by this charge alone, we pay the rest of it ourselves and the line says so.
- Delivery
- By distance from the shop to your door (the farthest shop, if there is more than one): $4.49 plus $2.50 a mile, rounded to the nearest dollar less a cent, so $6.99 for about 1 mile and $16.99 for about 5 miles. From 8 miles a driver makes the trip just for you, and delivery is the distance price plus $22 ($50.99 for about 10 miles). Where we offer it, today by 7pm is $4 less (never under $3.99). Beyond the neighborhoods we shop in, delivery from a shop under 8 miles away works just as it does inside them. From 8 miles it comes on one of our scheduled runs to your side of town, at the distance price with nothing added, in a window we show you before you pay. The window is our estimate: it starts once your piece is found and bought, and LA traffic can move it. You can instead have a driver make that trip just for you, at the distance price plus $22. We don’t deliver from shops more than 20 miles away. The miles are our estimate of the drive: from the shop (or the middle of its neighborhood, where we don’t have the shop on a map) to your address on the map (or the middle of your neighborhood, where we can’t place your address), with an allowance for the roads. Delivery on your account’s first order is free when the shop is under 8 miles away or it comes on a scheduled run (so today by 7pm, which only takes something off delivery, isn’t offered on it); for a driver who makes the trip just for you your first order pays only the $22, not the distance price. A bag of 3 or more pieces worth $150 or more gets $5 off delivery, which it keeps if your shopper can’t get one of them or you say no to one.
- Rush
- Where we offer it, from a shop under 8 miles away: delivery at the distance price plus $12, charged in full, on a first order and with free delivery for students too. Your driver goes from the shop straight to you, with no other stops, and you see the time before you pay. If your driver reaches your door after that time, the $12 comes back to your card by itself, with the card processing and tax on it. Time spent waiting for your answer (to the photo, a changed price or the shop’s return terms) doesn’t count. If nobody can take it at the door and it has to come again, we look at the timing ourselves instead. Nothing else on the order is refunded for lateness.
- Free delivery for students
- If the email on your account is a school email ending in .edu and you’ve confirmed it with the code we email you, we don’t charge for delivery on orders you place through December 31, 2026 at 11:59pm Pacific time. The service fee, card processing and sales tax still apply. It doesn’t cover a driver who makes the trip just for you (you pay the $22 for that) or rush delivery. You still need an invitation or a code, such as a campus code, to join, unless sign-up is open to everyone. We may change or end this offer; if we do, we’ll say so on this page first, and an order you’ve already placed keeps it.
- Sales tax
- California sales tax at the rate for your delivery address, on the whole total. We find the rate from your street address using the State of California’s own tax-rate lookup. It is always its own line, never inside our fee, and it names the place and the rate, for example “West Hollywood sales tax (11%)”. A pickup of something you already bought has no sales tax from us (section 10).
- Tip for your shopper
- Only if you choose one: 10%, 15% or 20% of the pieces’ price, or an amount of your own, up to $500. It goes on the same hold and charge, with no card processing or tax added to it, and all of it goes to the person who shops for and delivers your order.
The amounts above are today’s. The order screen always shows the amounts for your order, and those are the ones you pay. If we ever charge you more sales tax than was due, we pay the difference back to you.
Every price we show while you browse already has the service fee and card processing in it. Once we know where it’s going, it is the whole total to your door, delivery and tax included; worked out from a ZIP code rather than your street, it says “about”, because the tax follows your exact address. Before we know where it’s going, it says “plus delivery and tax”, and card processing on those two is added with them.
Prices come from what shops publish, and they can change. If the shop’s price has gone up by the time your shopper gets there, we don’t buy it at the higher price unless you agree to a new total first. If you don’t, we release your hold and you pay nothing. If a price we show is plainly a mistake, we may cancel the order, and nothing is charged.
