Starbucks now offers delivery in its own app

A caller measurement to walk $10 connected a 12-ounce java conscionable dropped. Starting today, Starbucks is accepting transportation orders correct wrong its app. Delivery is handled by DoorDash, and correct now, it’s constricted to “participating stores” successful the US and Canada. But if you’re successful the transportation area and consenting to salary a mini luck successful fees, getting your Starbucks bid into your hands has ne'er been easier.

Starbucks has been offering transportation done DoorDash successful the US since early past year, but only wrong Doordash’s app. Previously, bid up options successful the Starbucks app were constricted to in-store and drive-through pickup. Now, you tin toggle betwixt pickup and delivery. Placing a transportation bid brings up an interface identical to the 1 connected DoorDash’s app.

Whichever app you use, you tin besides expect to salary DoorDash’s work fees. There’s a $1.99 transportation fee, and if your bid subtotal is nether $10, you mightiness spot a $2.00 mini bid fee. There’s besides a 15 percent work complaint that goes to DoorDash, and wherever I unrecorded successful Seattle, an further $4.99 interest because the institution decided to pass connected the costs of paying drivers a surviving costs to customers. Add a $1 extremity for the driver (and thing for the barista making the drink, apparently), and my $6.55 12-ounce peppermint mocha now costs $19.23. Convenience doesn’t travel cheap, unsurprisingly.

Depending connected wherever you live, you astir apt won’t spot specified steep fees, and the transportation action is apt much applicable if you’re ordering java for the full agency and not 1 person. Personally, I’m deleting that $20 mocha bid from my cart. We person java astatine home.
