A caller mode to walk $10 connected a 12-ounce java conscionable dropped. Starting today, Starbucks is accepting transportation orders close wrong its app. Delivery is handled by DoorDash, and close now, it’s constricted to “participating stores” successful the US and Canada. But if you’re successful the transportation country and consenting to wage a tiny luck successful fees, getting your Starbucks bid into your hands has ne'er been easier.

Starbucks has been offering transportation done DoorDash successful the US since aboriginal past year, but lone wrong Doordash’s app. Previously, bid up options successful the Starbucks app were constricted to in-store and drive-through pickup. Now, you tin toggle betwixt pickup and delivery. Placing a transportation bid brings up an interface identical to the 1 connected DoorDash’s app.

Whichever app you use, you tin besides expect to wage DoorDash’s work fees. There’s a $1.99 transportation fee, and if your bid subtotal is nether $10, you mightiness spot a $2.00 tiny bid fee. There’s besides a 15 percent work complaint that goes to DoorDash, and wherever I unrecorded successful Seattle, an further $4.99 interest due to the fact that the institution decided to pass connected the outgo of paying drivers a surviving wage to customers. Add a $1 extremity for the operator (and thing for the barista making the drink, apparently), and my $6.55 12-ounce peppermint mocha present costs $19.23. Convenience doesn’t travel cheap, unsurprisingly.

Depending connected wherever you live, you astir apt won’t spot specified steep fees, and the transportation enactment is apt much applicable if you’re ordering java for the full bureau and not 1 person. Personally, I’m deleting that $20 mocha bid from my cart. We person java astatine home.
