In-store pickup combines the convenience of online shopping with the physical act of going to the store. Whether you need something in a bind or want to avoid searching through the aisles at a store you don't know, in-store pickup saves shoppers time and hassle and is refreshingly simple.

The typical in-store pickup process is simple:
Stores have different takes on in-store pickup, so check the website to know exactly what to expect when you pull up.
Kohl's lets shoppers choose "FREE Store Pickup Today" before adding items to the cart. After placing the order, it recommends waiting two hours for pickup. Hours vary from store to store and the cutoff time is two hours before closing. Just know that some clothes aren't available for in-store pickup.
Whether your child just made the basketball team or you need new athletic wear for the gym, your next emergency Dick's purchase is as easy as checking the in-store pickup option on your online order's checkout screen. Then the store will send you an email, and you can choose to go into the store or have it brought to you curbside.
Ever stepped into a Home Depot and felt the dread of hunting down a nut, screw, tool kit or bolt within the hardware giant's labyrinthine aisles? In-store pickup is available at every Home Depot location, with curbside pickup on request, though there are limitations depending on the item's size and what you're picking up. Just place the order, check your email for updates and pick it up at your convenience. Others can pick it up instead if you send it to their email.
Sephora earned its reputation thanks to a wide-ranging accessible appeal. However, you don't need a nearby Sephora store for in-store pickup. Thanks to partnerships with Kohl's, you can add your makeup, perfume or skin care product to other in-store pickups there. The process is simple: place the order, wait for an email, and pick it up at the nearest Sephora or Kohl's.
Staples keeps it simple for a wide range of electronics and digital devices. All you do is place your order, choose the location and give workers two hours to gather your order. Always make sure you place the order more than two hours before the store closes and pick it up within five days of doing so.
Sure, Gap caters to a vintage, casual look, but that doesn't mean it operates as it did decades ago. Gap provides shoppers with a straightforward process where in-store orders made before 2 p.m. should be ready within two hours for curbside or in-store pickup. Just remember to bring your ID.
PetSmart shoppers follow the same process as the others: find your items, make sure they're eligible for in-store pick up, process your order and wait for your confirmation email. The easy-to-follow process lets shoppers pick up non-prescription items from multiple locations around them when one is not enough.
While it may surprise you, you can also "go to Amazon." The online retailer has struck a deal with a number of national retailers, including Best Buy and AutoPlus, as well as some local retailers. The in-store pickup option, where it's available, is located on the right-hand side of your add-to-cart box.
You should know going in that others can't pick up orders for you, and only certain items are eligible, such as Amazon-compatible TV sets. This is also limited by location and inventory.
