At Dollar Tree, you won’t just have the possibility to cover many of your shopping needs, given the wide variety of products, but you will also save since many products have competitive prices. Besides saving money, you can also save time as the store offers different delivery services. So here is what you need to know about the shipping methods and fees available at Dollar Tree.
Dollar Tree Home Delivery
When time is not on your side or you want to buy in bulk and thus find a more convenient solution, you can order online and have your items delivered to your door. Dollar Tree delivers such orders via UPS Ground, and it typically takes 4-5 business days after order processing. However, this method excludes select items.

When you need your order to be delivered faster, you can opt for expedited shipping via UPS, which usually takes 2 – 3 business days after your order is processed. The shipping fee for this service is higher, though.
The shipping fees vary, and they are calculated based on the size and weight of your order, the shipping address, which Distribution Center your order is shipping from, as well as on the number of boxes included in your order.
The store delivers to the contiguous 48 United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It doesn’t currently ship to APO/FPO/DPO military addresses or P.O. Boxes.
Delivery Via Instacart
According to Instacart’s website, you can also order your favorite products from Dollar Tree via their website or app. The entire shopping process is fairly straightforward. The delivery fees are different than the ones you’d pay when ordering directly on the retailer’s website. For same-day orders over $35, the delivery fee starts at $3.99. The fee differs if your order is under $35 or you want it delivered in as fast as 1 hour.
Additionally, there is a service fee that may apply depending on your location, the type of items included in your order, as well as how many items you’ve ordered. Instacart Express members benefit from lower fees and $0 delivery fees on every order over $35, so if you intend to use this delivery provider frequently, the membership is worth considering.
Dollar Tree Free Shipping With In-Store Pickup
Those of you who want to save both time and money might want to consider the retailer’s in-store pickup service. This will help you save time as a personal shopper will do the shopping for you, as well as money since the in-store pickup service is free.
The retailer ships to any Dollar Tree store in the U.S., and given that it operates an impressive number of stores, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to find a store near you. To see where exactly such stores are in your area, you can use Dollar Tree’s Store Locator.
The entire process goes as follows. Start by shopping on the retailer’s website as you normally would. Add the items of interest to your shopping cart, and during checkout, select the “In-Store Pickup” shipping option. Then select the Dollar Tree store you want the retailer to ship your order to and where you will thus pick it up.
Once your order is processed, you will receive an e-mail notification letting you know when the order is ready for pickup. You will have to bring this e-mail as well as a state-issued photo ID or driver’s license with you to pick up your order. Once you arrive at the store, you will have to ask to speak with a store manager, and he/she will help you with the rest of the process.
