What this means for you

California customers using Target's same-day delivery service will now pay a CA Shipt Shopper Benefit Fee in addition to standard delivery costs, according to the updated terms. The terms do not specify the fee amount, structure, or whether it applies to all same-day orders or only certain product categories. Consumers in California should review their receipt or account details to understand the exact fee amount and whether it was previously being charged but undisclosed, or if this represents a new charge.

What you can do

Review your Target receipts or account history to determine if this fee has been charged before April 30, 2026, and contact Target customer service if you were charged without disclosure.

Check the fee amount and breakdown at checkout before completing same-day delivery orders in California to understand the total cost.
