Shipt and DSW Partner to Help Families Feel Ready for the Back-to-Routine Season

Shipt now offers customers access to reliable same-day delivery of footwear and accessories from DSW.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shipt, the same-day delivery company, announced a new partnership with DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, giving members access to same-day delivery of brand name dress, casual and athletic footwear and accessories during one of the busiest shopping seasons of the year. As back-to-school plans, jitters and excitement evolve, this partnership ensures one forgotten item, a sudden growth spurt or a last-minute shoe emergency doesn't have to derail the day, helping customers feel prepared, confident and excited for the year ahead.

For many families, preparing to go back to school isn't complete with a single shopping trip—it's a season of ongoing, ever-changing needs. In fact, new research commissioned by Shipt and conducted by Morning Consult found that 71% of parents say that no matter how early they start preparing, they still end up making a last-minute back-to-school purchase. From forgotten classroom essentials to kids outgrowing last year's shoes, families often find themselves making multiple trips before the first day of school. Access to reliable same-day delivery helps make those inevitable last-minute moments easier to navigate, giving families one less thing to worry about so they can focus on the excitement of the year ahead.

"Back-to-school is filled with meaningful moments, but it rarely goes according to plan," said Katie Stratton, chief growth and strategy officer at Shipt. "Whether it's realizing your child needs a new pair of sneakers before school starts or, for me personally, a last-minute scramble to accessorize a themed day, these moments matter. Through our partnership with DSW, we're making it easier for families to adapt with the personalized care, communication and flexibility that Shipt and our shoppers with Shipt are known for."

Through this partnership, nearly 75 million households nationwide will be able to access same-day delivery from DSW stores through the Shipt app and Shipt.com. Customers will have access to a wide selection of footwear and accessories from brands including New Balance, Crocs, Adidas, Steve Madden, Dolce Vita and DSW-exclusive brand, Kelly & Katie. Whether replacing shoes that no longer fit after a summer, finding athletic footwear before the first practice or refreshing a wardrobe for the season ahead, customers can get the styles they need delivered the very same day.

The partnership with DSW builds on Shipt's continued expansion across retail categories, giving customers access to more of the products they need for everyday routines, seasonal milestones and life's unexpected moments. From home improvement products and pharmacy essentials to school supplies and footwear, Shipt continues to strategically grow its marketplace through partnerships with leading retailers, including Michaels, Office Depot, OfficeMax, CVS, Lowe's Home Improvement and DSW—helping customers navigate the moments that matter most with one trusted same-day delivery experience.
