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. 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. 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 offers have ended
- Free delivery for students with a confirmed school email, free delivery on an account’s first order, and free delivery through a friend’s link or a creator’s code have ended. Every order now pays delivery as shown before you pay. An order you placed before this change keeps the price it was placed at. You still need an invitation or a code, such as a campus code, to join, unless sign-up is open to everyone.
- Orders a store sells at its own checkout
- Where we order your pieces through the store’s own checkout, or at its register, before a courier brings them to you, the store is the seller and we act for you: we place the order with the store as you chose it (same piece, same size, same price), pay the store for you, and have it brought to your door. These orders are priced this way instead. The service fee is $10 or 5% of the pieces’ price, whichever is higher. Card processing is its own line at cost, with no limit: only what the processor charges, on the whole total. Delivery is the courier’s price for the trip with a small amount added to cover it, shown before you pay. An order worth more than one courier trip can carry may come in several deliveries, each handed to you with the same door code, and a piece worth more than that is arranged by our team. The sales tax is the store’s own (the next line). Afterpay isn’t offered on these orders. We never charge more than the amount held on your card, and if the store’s receipt shows less tax, you pay less.
- Sales tax
- On a Get it for me order (section 4): 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). Where the store sells you the pieces at its own checkout or register and we act for you, the tax line is exactly the sales tax that store charges on them at its own location, under its state’s rules, passed through as it is, and our service fee, delivery and card processing carry none.
- 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.
