Choose from a range of eligible products and based on your desired frequency, your products will automatically be shipped to you or be ready for pick-up at a selected participating store. The service is easy to use and customizable, so you can make changes to fit your needs. Just tell us how often you want your products, and whether you would like them shipped or available for pick-up, and we’ll take care of the rest. With AutoShip, you can change your delivery frequency, next order date, or skip an order up to 24 hours before the scheduled order date.
  1. How do I enroll in AutoShip?
    1. Joining AutoShip is easy! Find your desired AutoShip eligible products and add them to cart. Eligible products have an AutoShip logo visible on the product page and in the shopping cart. In the cart, you will be prompted to choose between Pick Up In-Store and Ship To Me. Then, simply select the AutoShip option for your desired products when reviewing your order. Finally, select your preferred order frequency and check out as normal. You must be logged in or create an online account in order to proceed to checkout.
  1. What will happen after I join AutoShip?
    1. After you join, you will receive an email confirming your enrollment. We will then place your AutoShip orders automatically according to your selected frequency, and you will only be billed once the order is shipped or picked up in-store. We will send you an email reminder 5 days before each AutoShip order, and you can make changes to upcoming orders up to 24 hours before the order date. You will also receive email notifications regarding other important information related to your AutoShip account, such as, if your item is discontinued or out of stock, if you cancel your enrollment, and order confirmations. Prices of items in the AutoShip program are subject to change. We cannot guarantee certain prices for AutoShip orders. The amount you will be charged for items in your AutoShip order will be the price as stated in your reminder email 5 days prior to the scheduled order date or lower, if the price of the item is lower on the website on the order placement date.
