Online shopping at Target is now easier—and perhaps faster—than ever, thanks to their latest update.
According to their website, the big-box store company announced that they’re “adding three new sortation centers in the next year: two in greater Chicago and one in the Denver metro.” They explained that this move was inspired to provide “speedier delivery” for shoppers, all while helping employees work more efficiently and reducing shipping costs. Their statement continued, “Together with our six existing sortation centers across the country, these additions will mean an even better experience for even more guests now and in the years to come.”

As explained in their update, these sortation centers are a big deal because they take orders from local stores, sort, and deliver them out in a faster and more efficient manner. “They are the next phase of our stores-as-hubs strategy, helping lower costs and creating efficiencies for our operations while increasing speed of delivery for our guests.”
Target stated, “Rather than team members managing packing and sorting packages in a store’s backroom, sortation centers take on the sorting process, saving our store teams time and space so they can fulfill more orders and reach guests faster at a lower delivery cost for us.”
They added, “Plus, sortation centers allow our teams to easily scale to fulfill a growing number of orders, and consolidating orders and batching deliveries add ease for our carriers. And we do it all while staying focused on serving our guests no matter how they choose to shop with us.”
