FAQs: Online Grocery Order for Delivery or Pick-up

Placing online orders is easy and can be done directly on the Coborn’s app or Coborns.com.  On the Coborn’s app, select the shopping method (next to the home icon) and choose either pick-up or delivery.  On the website, select the list icon in the top right corner.  From here, select your store then choose either pick-up or delivery.

To start your order, browse our departments or search for products to add items to your list or cart.  We also recommend you log in with your MORE Rewards account before you begin shopping.  This allows you to view previously purchased items and add them directly to your cart.

For delivery orders, Instacart will shop and deliver your order. 

For pick-up orders, Instacart will shop your order, however, a Coborn’s employee will load the order into your vehicle upon your arrival.  At select stores, delivery may not be available.  In this case, pick-up is available and a Coborn’s employee will shop and load your order into your vehicle upon your arrival.

When you place an order for a weighted item, such as produce, we use an estimated product weight for an approximate cost.  This approximate cost appears on your Instacart receipt.  When your order is shopped, it’s updated with the actual weight, so you are only charged for the product that you receive.  The actual cost is shown under “My Orders and Receipts” on the Coborn’s app or Coborns.com.

When you place an online order, the anticipated charge for your items (including approximate taxes and fees) is shown and included in the order confirmation email.  Changes to your order before and during shopping will affect the final total on your receipt.  These changes can include added items, substituted items, unavailable items, and weighted items.

Once your online order is submitted, a temporary hold is placed on your card for slightly more than the order total to cover any changes that may have occurred when your order was shopped.  The order total can change due to weighted items, additions, substitutions, or unavailable items.  Once your order is complete, your card is charged for the final order total.  This total is reflected on your order receipt.

If your order is canceled before it is shopped, your bank will remove the temporary hold from your account.

When you place an order, there's a temporary hold on your card that's a bit higher than your order total. You might see multiple authorization holds if you add items after placing an order on coborns.com. Authorization holds vary, but are typically about 15% higher than the order total at checkout. We use temporary holds to make sure we can cover any changes, like if you decide to add more items or if you a shopper swaps an item for a different price. Don't stress—this will adjust back to the actual cost once everything is finalized with your pick up or delivery. It can take up to 7 days for the pending charge to drop, depending on your band.

You could see more than 1 authorization hold on an order if adjustments made after checkout exceed the original authorization total amount, or if you place the order several days in advance of delivery and the original authorization hold expires prior to delivery.
