Instacart Expanding in Tri-Boro Area

TRI-BORO, NJ — Need something from the store but don't actually want to go to the store? The online same-day delivery service Instacart is expanding to multiple towns across Morris and Passaic counties, beginning next Thursday.

Starting on April 19, residents in 15 different towns can places orders through Instacart for goods from BJ's, CVS, and Petco (the pet store won't start until April 26). Orders can be placed as far as six days in advance, or be delivered in as little as one hour.

Delivery prices start at $5.99, but can go up if your order is too small, the service is too busy, or other factors. Years subscriptions are also available. Those cost $14.99 during the trail period, and $149 a year after that.

“Over the past year we’ve seen incredible demand in the Riverdale area,” said Walker Dieckmann, General Manager at Instacart. “We work with a variety of local retailers to provide the freshest, highest quality groceries to our customers. Launching in Riverdale gives us an opportunity to expand service in the New Jersey market. We’re also excited to build a world class shopper community, where we can offer fun and flexible income earning opportunities for our shoppers, who ultimately deliver this amazing service to the community.”

Want to try it out? First time shoppers can use the code HEYRIVERDALE at checkout to get $20 off an order of $35 or more, plus a free first time delivery. The code expires on May 19.

The following towns can start using Instacart next week:
