It’s almost Mother’s Day. That means that right at this very second it’s time for me to begin thinking about what I should get her from and and from the kids. It’s time for frenzy to set in. It’s time for me to ask why I wait until the last minute to do this each year. It’s time for me to say…she is my wife and mother of my children…time to step-it-up. It’s also time for me the panic because I never know what the right present is to pick-up.
With work and the kids crushing me of late, and Vera being on a hectic work travel schedule, I really needed to find something fast, good, and conveniently. I also didn’t want to risk online shopping since it’s so last minute and such a busy time. The worst thing would be that, gasp, not everything arrives on time. Vera would pretty much know (not that she doesn’t already), or at least have to accept, that I am a last minute Nelly and that I planned poorly. We can’t have that at all.
I think it’s time to hit Sears. They are having an awesome All For Mom promotion…and just in time! Check out Sears.com/AllForMom for all the goodies. But how do I work this out with so little time in the day and it being so close to Mother’s Day? Oh no!!
I think I have the solution…
What is this magical elixir you say?
Queue the hero music…Sears In-Vehicle Pickup to save the day!!!
Sear In-Vehicle pickup is a very easy way to order your Mother’s Day gift online at Sears.com or via the Sears App. When you order, simply pick in-store pickup and wait for the magic. I specifically picked from a wide list of options that would be available the SAME DAY. I picked up some new bath towels (the others were ruined with some “experiments” and some fort making), new beach towels (we always saw we need adult towels and never seem to get them), as well as a FitBit Zip (she has a FitBit but really liked the Zip because it attached the the hip and had super-long watch battery life).
Once the order was placed, I was simply instructed to wait for a delivery confirmation email and/or text message. Much to my surprise, that message came within hours. Excitement ensued. Joy enveloped everyone in the house. Anticipation took over…I had to head over right away and seal the deal. It was time to get the Mother’s Day gift!
I picked up Caleb from his nursery school and, much to my dismay, he passed out cold within a minute of getting in the car. Oh no, what am I going to do now. I have to go pick up this gift and I…wait a minute…I have the option to do In-Vehicle Pickup! It was easy peasy save my life squeezy. I simply went into the app and scrolled own to the In-Vehicle Pickup link. I was instructed beforehand to be sure to be in a specially marked pick-up parking spot before I click the link. Why you ask? A Sears associate will be helping me within 5 minutes of clicking, that’ why. Could it be true? I pulled into my spot, right in front of the door (VIP, baby), and clicked away. A timer actually popped up so I can easily monitor response time. Within 1 minute and 15 seconds I was being asked for my order info. About 2 minutes after that, the bag was dropped inside my car. I didn’t have to even get out of the car. Even better? Caleb was still fast asleep, oblivious to the magic that just transpired and how easy this all was.
It was awesome. It was easy. It’s everything you would hope it would be and more. Seriously…faster and easier than even ordering online. It was a dream come true.

This is a great service. Perfect during this busy season. I still haven’t thought of a gift for my mom. I will download the app.
I love Sears. My mom shopped at Sears. I shop at Sears. Now, I have even more reasons to shop there. I love this whole vehicle pick up thing.
I’ve heard of Sears In-Vehicle Pick-Up, but have not used it yet. As a mom of three, two of which are very active boys ages 4 and 5 years old, this is definitely something I’d love to take advantage of.
I’m definitely going to use this service at Sears.
I love to shop at Sears. In car pickup is an amazing idea. It will be so handy for parents.
This is a fabulous idea especially if you have kids. I like the convenience of ordering online and picking up the item when it is convenient for me. I will have to remember this for father’s day.
I didn’t realize they offered this service! Anything to keep me from spending too much time in the mall I’m all for!
I love this because you were able to pick it up and little man was able to keep snoozing!
Nap time! Who knew Sear had such a service – wow lol! Awesome program!!!
This is such a convenient service, especially for busy moms and dads. I love shopping at Sears and don’t always have time to shop in-store.
I’ve actually tested this out- it’s pretty awesome!
What a great service and very convenient for us consumers. I’m definitely going to try their vehicle pickup service!
