In an effort to connect consumers with even more variety, DoorDash recently debuted 'Nationwide Shipping' on both its DoorDash and Caviar platforms. This means users can now order delicious meals and more from renowned restaurants and retailers across the country and have them delivered to their doorstep. These include sweet treats, savory meals, flowers, and fresh produce, with free delivery from anywhere in the nation in just a few days.
The process is simple. Simply open either the DoorDash or Caviar app and choose the Nationwide Shipping option. This will display all available merchants and their offerings. After selecting items, users will receive an estimated delivery date range. Once the item has been shipped, consumers will get a confirmation email. Once the item arrives, consumers will receive another confirmation email.
To promote the new feature, Carlos's Baker debuted the Sweet Potato Pie Dream Cake, an exclusive offering to DorrDash customers made by the "cake boss" himself. In addition, from November 8 through November 24, you can get 25% off up to $30 with your first shipping order with code DDSHIPPING on DoorDash and CAVIARSHIPS on Caviar.
