Sports Equipment and Gear Delivery or Pickup

If you or your child is playing in an organized sport, it's best to wait until you have instructions from your coach regarding what equipment to get. You may find that you need a specific size glove or ball for the sport.

Inquire about used equipment swaps. Many organizations host a swap day where players bring in their used equipment, and younger players can pick up free or low-cost items from older players who have outgrown these products. Inspect used equipment carefully to make sure it's still in good condition.

When you're purchasing sports apparel, it's important to select the right size. Helmets, gloves, goggles, and pads need to fit correctly to work properly. Check the manufacturer's website for a size guide when you're buying these products online. You'll often find helpful guidelines that will let you know how these products run regarding sizing.

Some stores will accept returns for items purchased through Instacart. This can allow you to try on a piece of equipment after delivery. Not all stores offer this option, however, so you should check with the retailer that you're ordering through before you make your purchase.

Pick up your sports equipment through Instacart, and you can save time in your busy schedule that's already packed with practices and games. Ordering online or through the app will help simplify your day.
