I never received an email confirming that my order is ready to be picked up. How do I know it will be available when I arrive at the store?
The status of your order will update in the DG App (on the homepage as well as in Order History under My Account). If you do not see a record of your order in the app, it is likely the order did not go through. We also recommend checking your junk mail.
How do I know I received everything I ordered?
Once we’ve picked your order, you’ll receive an email detailing what we picked successfully, where we provided a substitute, or if we were unable to pick an item. You’ll receive this email prior to your pickup window. We recommend checking your order before leaving the store.
