Can I deliver on different dates?

Yes, you can deliver on as many different dates as you choose. Please make sure you confirm your deliveries for one date at a time. Once you confirm deliveries for one date, you can repeat the process for a different date.

What if I have to cancel my deliveries due to COVID?

We are expecting you to make all deliveries for which you sign up. However, if you need to cancel  your deliveries because of COVID-19 exposure or another emergency, you can go to the My Deliveries page and click Cancel next to the delivery.
