Customers who visit the Michaels website once the service launches will be able to choose same-day delivery at checkout from a participating location so long as they live near one.
When selected, delivery personnel will place a customer’s package on their doorstep before they knock or ring a doorbell and return to their vehicle, which is a helpful policy in the social distancing age of the coronavirus.
