Yes, when you checkout you will have you will have the option to select “Hand it to me” or “Leave it at door”. You can learn more about each of these options below:

Hand it to me: Selecting this option ensures that your high-value order will be delivered directly into your hands. For added security, the carrier will require that someone is present and available at the delivery location to receive the package and provide a signature (as needed).

This option is recommended for high-value orders and orders being delivered to areas with a high risk of porch piracy. If you aren’t present/available to receive the delivery, your order will be returned to the store and it will be available for you to pick up for 3 days. After 3 days, your order will be cancelled and the order amount will be refunded (excluding the Same-day delivery fees).

Leave it at door: Selecting this option instructs the carrier to conduct a contactless delivery by leaving your order at the doorstep or in the lobby/reception area of the delivery address. While this option offers convenience, it increases the risk of theft and damage to your order. We recommend selecting this option only if you are confident in the security of your delivery location and are willing to accept responsibility for any potential order loss or damage.
