Apparently if you auto ship which I did every 4 months, it's 25.99. That's a score for sure. Hopefully everyone that still uses RC gets this deal going.

If you get the capital one app (no need to have the credit cards) they frequently have 30% cash back at chewy

Im starting to see the prices increases. I see petco now $46.00 and up and boxes really went up even at Petsmart

That’s just for the first bucket. After that it is 5% off.

5% doesnt even cover tax. They were $35.99 to $39.99 to $46.99

Just ordered today and was $37 from petco. Set it up for every 7 weeks. Thats with free shipping and a $5 tip to the doordash driver so if I picked it up I guess it would have been $32. Not sure how much the next bucket will be but if under $40 I'm down

Sorry, why is doordash involved, if Petco has free shipping? Isn’t the sale from the company, not their local store?

Doordash does deliveries for many companies whether it be pet stores, grocery stores, cosmetic stores, electronic stores etc. So while the delivery is free there is a recommended tip for the dasher.

I guess it's kind of coming from the local store? One of those situations where you enter your zip code, pick a local location and go from there.. so yes, it's not coming from a warehouse, what they will do is take it directly off the shelf and put it aside for the dasher. Pretty positive that's how petsmart and other places do it too but idk more details than that..

albano · Feb 15, 2023

Ok, good to know… thought that the repeat deliveries were all from the warehouses! I’ve personally never used Uber, Lyft, door dash or whatever else, you kids today, do!

52728299 · Feb 15, 2023

Yea maybe they do if it's not in stock, they probably would send it from a warehouse, to the local store (I'm assuming with their normal daily shipments) and then handed off to a dasher. One of those things I've never thought about much

Think the last deal I bought was $35 @ chewy. Unfortunately fedex dropped my boxes in the middle of my driveway while it was raining. While the boxes were a soggy messes, the salt in the bags was all good.

I called chewy just to complain about fedex, and they replaced my entire order even though I told the nice lady the salt was fine. I was told that chewy has a 100% customer satisfaction policy, and regardless if the salt was fine, they will ship out an entire new order.

16 boxes of salt for the price of 8. Think I'm good for a while. LOL
