In-store Pickup: The Need for Speed (or at least a decent trot)
Here's the good news: PetSmart is pretty speedy when it comes to getting your order ready. For in-stock items, you're usually looking at a same-day or next-day pickup. That means you can be back to spoiling your furry (or feathery, or scaly) friend in no time. Think of it as a superhero landing – swift and efficient!
Now, there are a few things that can affect the pickup speed:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
- Placing your order after closing time: If you decide your cat absolutely needs a new feather wand at 8 pm, you might have to wait until the next morning for pickup. But hey, at least you're the most attentive pet parent on the block!
- Super popular items: If the entire internet has decided their dog needs that same limited-edition squeaky unicorn toy, it might take a smidge longer to fulfill your order. Just be patient, and remember, good things come to those who wait (and maybe refresh the order status page a few times).
Generally, though, you shouldn't be waiting an eternity. PetSmart will send you a snazzy email notification letting you know your order is "Ready for Pick Up!" Now that's the kind of email we all love!
Pro Tips for a Speedy Pickup
- Place your order early in the day: The sooner you get your order in, the sooner it can be processed. Think of it as giving your pet supplies a head start on the pet store obstacle course!
- Double-check your order: Make sure you picked the right store for pickup. Nobody wants to accidentally end up in the next town over with a hungry goldfish!
- Have your ID handy: You might need to show it when you pick up your order. Unless your pet has a driver's license (hey, stranger things have happened!), this one's on you!
By following these simple tips, you'll be a PetSmart in-store pickup pro in no time!
