You get to Costco’s website, and you are immediately confused about same day delivery vs 2 day delivery. I did the research, so you don’t have to, so which one is cheaper?
Same Day Delivery Appears More Expensive (Huge Caveat)
I believe that same day is more expensive is due to Costco using Instacart for the same day delivery, and may use their own provider for 2 day delivery.
Check out the cost difference for my kid’s favorite: Cheerios
2-Day Delivery: $7:49
Same Day Delivery: $7.75 Each
Same Day Costco Has Groceries and Frozen Foods While 2-Day Delivery Is Sparse
Same Day Costco appears to have everything in the store while the 2-day delivery appears to have a very limited selection. In addition, the 2-day delivery doesn’t even seem to have a search function, so it made the selection feel even more limited.

With Instacart Same Day Costco, you have to pay the cost premium than there’s a section at the end for the tip for the delivery. Here’s my summary.
