Founded in 2022 by Stacey and Caylee Ward, the St. Pete Shopping Company puts the person back into personal shopper. Donning their signature pink and pig-tails, they provide reliable, affordable, and individualized deliveries of food, groceries, and household items, serving St. Pete, Tierra Verde, Pass-A-Grille, St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, Town Shores, Treasure Island, and Madeira Beach. But with so many delivery services available, like Amazon, Instacart, and Uber Eats, what makes St. Pete Shopping Company special?

“The problem with large delivery services,” says Stacey, “they’re so big that they don’t care about satisfaction…they only reward speed.” If you’ve ever suffered missing or wrong items in your food, grocery, or amenities delivery, or else your order went missing entirely (probably on someone else’s porch), you’ll agree: delivery services often disappoint. Stacey and Caylee’s solution? Knowing client needs and communicating directly.

Stacey and Caylee deliver your needs

Unlike large delivery apps, with St. Pete Shopping Company, you always get the same shoppers, and they know who their clients are. They know their allergies, preferred brands, likes and dislikes. “Our regulars are more like patients,” says Stacey. They make sure your medications are delivered timely. If there is a deal on a product—a buy one get one, for example—they get it for you automatically. Is the store out of your preferred brand? They drive to another store and get it for you.

Large delivery companies substitute brands without telling you, don’t know your allergies, and seem to never let you in on in-store deals. Let alone divulge all the hidden fees and mark-up costs on items. With St. Pete Shopping company, all fees are transparent, and there are no mark-up costs.

St. Pete Shopping Company offers two ordering methods. You can use their Dumpling app, downloadable here. Or else you can contact Stacey and Caylee directly with your order. While the latter seems simple, direct order has all but disappeared these days, thus St. Pete Shopping Company provides a much-needed service for elderly customers who struggle with technology.

St. Pete Shopping Company also offers free delivery of cat and dog food to Hanks Bark Box if you have items at home to donate.
