Stop & Shop pickup and delivery

Pickup
Stop & Shop grocery pickup has been suspended until further notice due to product shortages.
Delivery
Stop & Shop grocery delivery is powered by Peapod. Like most deliveries during the coronavirus pandemic, expect delays due to high demand. The good thing is you can request “unattended delivery” through Peapod, where a driver will drop an order off at your door, ring the doorbell, and leave. Just include specific instructions for Stop & Shop delivery at checkout.
Peapod does charge a delivery fee. If you buy more than $100 in groceries, your delivery fee is $6.95. An order between $75 and $100 has a $7.95 delivery fee, and an order between $60 and $75 has a $9.95 delivery fee.
