What is Safeway Marketplace?
Marketplace is here to help you find unique products you'll love and get them shipped to your door. We're partnering with select third-party sellers to give you easy access to great products you can't find in your local Safeway. We're carefully choosing partners who can provide exceptional products and a great customer experience.
How do I know if I am placing an order with a Marketplace third-party seller?
Third-party sellers' products will be marked as “Sold and Shipped” by the seller. Marketplace products can be found in search and browse, or within the Marketplace section of the website or app. If you shop with multiple Marketplace sellers, each one will have its own cart during checkout. You will also have a separate cart for your Safeway DriveUp & Go™ and delivery items.
What’s the difference between Marketplace and Safeway ordering?
Marketplace orders are shipped, while Safeway orders are delivered locally. Both options allow you to shop online and enjoy easy delivery. With Marketplace, orders will ship via carriers like UPS, USPS and FedEx, arriving in as little as three days. Marketplace offers dry and pantry goods you can't find at your local Safeway, as well as Health & Beauty, Pet, Baby, Household and Kitchen items. Over time, Marketplace will continue to add new items and categories for you to discover!
Safeway is also still here for home delivery or Drive Up and Go™ pickup!
Do the Marketplace items appear in the same shopping cart as my Safeway items?
No. Your Marketplace items will appear in a separate cart and require a separate checkout.

What kinds of products can I buy through Marketplace?
Right now, Marketplace offers a wide selection of food, health and beauty, pet, baby, household and kitchen products that are not available at your local Safeway store (both unique SKUs and bulk/multipacks of some items sold in stores). While we don’t yet offer fresh products, we’ll continue to add exciting products across new categories over time.
When will I be charged?
When you place an online order, the Estimated Total is pre-authorized on your debit or credit card. A temporary authorization isn't a charge, but it may reduce the amount available to spend from your account. The actual order amount will be finalized on the day your product is shipped. Your bank may take up to 5 business days after the delivery date to release the Estimated Total hold and display your final charge. If an order is canceled, your bank may take up to 5 business days to release the hold.
Why does my order include Sales Tax?
Here's how the sales tax on your order works: we calculate the total sales tax on each item individually and then add it to your order total. The total sales tax amount depends on many factors, including the type of product(s) in your order and the shipping destination. Please note that since factors can change from when you place your order to when your card is charged, the final sales tax amount may be different from the original estimate.
Why was my order canceled?
If an item is out of stock or there is a listing error, we may have to cancel your order. We’ll reach out to you by email if this happens, and you won’t be charged if your order is canceled.
When will I receive my refund?
Look for an email with an update on your refund request in 1-2 days. Your bank may take 5-7 business days to credit the refund to your account.
Will shipping fees be refunded?
No, shipping fees are not refunded.
Is there a minimum order amount?
There is no minimum order size. However, some Sellers have a minimum order size in order to qualify for free shipping.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Orders generally ship within one business day and take around 3-7 days to arrive.
How much is shipping?
Shipping costs will vary depending on the seller, your items and your location.
Will my shipment arrive in one package?
Orders may arrive in one or more packages, depending on the number of items and the number of sellers you purchase from.

Do you deliver to businesses?
Yes! We can ship to your home, office or business.
Do you ship to P.O. Boxes and APO/FPO?

Will Safeway Marketplace pass on my personal information to the seller?
Safeway processes your payment and then sends only basic delivery info (name, address, contact info and order information) to our seller partner, so you can receive the item you purchased.
What is strikethrough pricing?
When you have a sale price with a higher price crossed out, the struck-through price reflects the most recent non-discounted price for that item.
