Target Sets Next-Day Delivery for 35 Metros by Late October

The rollout uses a market-based stores-as-hubs model tested in Chicago to speed shipping without raising costs.

Overview

  • Coverage will span 35 major metropolitan areas across 18 states and the District of Columbia by the end of October, according to the company.
  • Next-day shipping is free on orders over $35, with no minimum for Target Circle 360 members or shoppers using a Target Circle Card.
  • About 85% of items sold in Target stores will be eligible for next-day delivery, with eligibility flagged on product pages and at checkout.
  • Target will combine selective store fulfillment with dedicated facilities, sortation hubs, Shipt drivers and national carriers under its market-based approach.
  • Executives say roughly 54% of the U.S. population will have access to next-day delivery by year’s end, with more metros planned for 2026.
