Instacart has announced it will be offering fresh Christmas tree delivery as a way to offer consumers an easier method of getting ready for the holiday season.
The brand is offering the tree deliveries as part of its newly launched big & Bulky solution, which will offer the delivery of trees up to five-feet tall from a variety of retailers including grocery, home improvement and wholesale. Shoppers will even help to trim the tree for customers by having them trimmed and leveled according to deliver instructions. The tree delivery service is being launched as a nationwide option in the US for consumers to take advantage of.
Chief Product Officer Daniel Danker spoke on the fresh Christmas tree delivery service saying, "We’re excited to offer Instacart customers same-day, nationwide tree delivery this holiday season. Trimming a holiday tree is a beloved annual tradition for many families and we’re delighted to offer a convenient and time-saving way for customers to get their trees and seasonal decor with just a few taps, so they can spend more time holidaying and less time hauling."
