Wegmans Delivery is powered by Instacart and can be ordered on the Wegmans app or website. There is a $35 minimum for Wegmans delivery orders, and the delivery fees start at $3.99.

How Does Wegmans Delivery Work?

Wegmans has partnered with Instacart to provide delivery services through its app and website. Customers can place orders up to 6 days in advance and have their order delivered to their home within as little as 1 to 2 hours. Wegmans Delivery hours are typically 9 am to 10 pm but may vary based on shoppers’ availability.

Customers can access Wegmans Delivery on their app or the website. You can have orders delivered in as little as one hour, depending on the availability of Instacart’s Personal Shoppers.

Wegmans also offers Wegmans Instacart Express Delivery, a membership that offers $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on orders $35 or more.

You must have an account with Wegmans before you begin placing your order online. After you sign in, you can search for your items on the app or website.

Because Wegmans Delivery is powered by Instacart, an Instacart Personal Shopper will gather the items of your order at your selected store and deliver them once the order is ready.

Wegmans Delivery hours are between 9 am to 10 pm but are subject to change depending on the personal shopper’s availability.

You can place your order up to 6 days before delivery. Also, you will be able to see the available delivery times online when choosing delivery as your preferred shopping method.

However, some items are not available to order online through Wegmans, including:

  • Alcohol, in some instances
  • Prescriptions, which are only available on the Instacart app or website
  • Over-the-counter drugs or products where you need ID
  • Catering
  • Subs, pizza, hot and cold food bars
  • Special order products (like cake)
  • Stamps
  • Gift Cards

Alcohol products are only available at select Wegmans stores for delivery, and you must be 21 or over.

You will be asked online to provide proof of age when ordering alcohol, and the delivery driver will also ask you to provide proof. You must have a valid federal or government-issued ID to prove that you are 21 and over.

Coupons and rebates are currently not available when purchasing alcohol from Wegmans for delivery.

Wegmans subs delivery and other Meal2Go items are not available through their delivery powered by Instacart; however, you can order delivery through their Meal2Go website or with other apps, like GrubHub, Postmates, and DoorDash.

On the other hand, Wegmans flower delivery is available through their delivery service powered by Instacart.

If you see that an item “May not be available”, it means that that particular item may not be available in-store.

You can still add these items to your shopping list, but you will not be able to add these items to your cart.

Instacart shoppers can deliver to homes that are within a 60-minute range from the store. However, delivery orders that are 30 minutes or more will typically be charged a $5 fee.

How Much Does Wegmans Delivery Cost?

Wegmans Delivery fees start at $3.99, and the item prices are not the same as in-store. Online prices are approximately 15% more than in-store prices, which include the cost of shopping for your order. Online delivery orders must be $35 or more, and other fees like service fees, bag fees, heavy orders, and long-distance service fees may apply.

While Wegmans Delivery prices are higher than those in-store (around 15% more), these prices also include their cost for shopping for your delivery order.

There is a $35 minimum for orders placed online at Wegmans for delivery.

In addition, Instacart also charges a service fee set at 7.0%. Other fees like bag fees, heavy order fees, and long-distance service fees may also apply.

Heavy order fees cover the cost of heavy items, like beverages, pet food, or ice, that give a combined weight above 50lbs. This fee ranges from $2 to $10.

The long-distance service fee applies to both Wegmans Instacart Express members and non-members when an order is placed 30 to 60 minutes away from the store, based on the registered address.

This $5 fee is charged by Instacart and will be added to your order total to help cover the shoppers’ cost of extra mileage.

If you choose to subscribe to Wegmans Instacart Express membership, you can pay for it annually or monthly. An annual subscription costs $99/year, and a monthly subscription costs $9.99/year.
