Campus deliveries with a personal touch

Deliveries for College Students

St. Pete Shopping Company’s College Student Delivery Services are designed to provide a reliable support system, allowing students to focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and enjoying college life.

We offer weekly, biweekly, or monthly grocery delivery with a personal touch. That means no groceries left on the ground outside the dorm; we meet students directly to hand off their delivery and coordinate deliveries around their work and school schedules.

From surprise snack baskets during finals to soup and cold meds when they’re under the weather, we help parents and grandparents stay connected. Want to send a birthday cake with a handwritten note? We’ll take care of it—just like you would if you were here.

St. Pete Shopping Company delivers to college students at Eckerd College, USF St. Petersburg, St. Pete College (St. Pete Campuses), and Stetson University College of Law.

From Our Family to Yours

Why College Students (and Parents) Love Us

When it comes to shopping for college students, we bring more than a checklist—we bring experience, heart, and a whole lot of hustle.

Stacey, co-founder of St. Pete Shopping Company, knows what it’s like to be both the student and the parent. She still remembers the joy of receiving a surprise 20th birthday cake from her mom while away at college—and now, as a mom herself, she understands just how important it is to support students from afar.

Her daughter and fellow co-founder, Caylee, is living the college life right now. She knows the real college routine—late-night study sessions, dietary preferences, last-minute errands, and snack cravings that strike at midnight.

Together, Stacey and Caylee offer more than delivery—they provide peace of mind.

From birthdays to “just because,” we make it special.

College Students Care Packages

Because sometimes, a surprise from home is just what your college student needs to make their day better.

At St. Pete Shopping Company, we help families stay connected to their students with thoughtful, personalized deliveries that brighten their day and remind them they’re loved—whether it’s a birthday celebration, finals-week fuel-up, or just because.

Customized Care Packages
We hand-assemble care packages filled with your student’s favorite snacks, healthy treats, school supplies, and personal-request items. You can choose a theme (exams, holidays, encouragement) or let us create something completely custom.

Holiday-Themed Surprises
Keep the seasonal spirit alive on campus! We’ve delivered spooky snacks for Halloween, heart-shaped treats for Valentine’s Day, and plenty of themed goodies in between—including dorm-safe decorations and holiday cheer.

Meal Deliveries for Study Sessions
Finals don’t stop for hunger. We deliver fresh meals from local restaurants—no apps, no soggy fries. Perfect for power lunches or cozy dinners when they need a break from ramen.

Gift Delivery & Birthday Kits
Need to send a gift? We’ll help you pick the perfect item (or deliver one you’ve already chosen), wrap it with care, and handwrite a personal note. Want balloons, cake, or party supplies? We’ve got that covered too.

Self-Care & Wellness Kits
Send a little calm their way with a package that includes teas, candles, cozy socks, bath bombs, journals, and more. Great for mental health days, midterms, or anyone in need of a little TLC.

Milestone Celebrations
Celebrate their wins—big or small. From “You survived midterms” rewards to graduation gifts and internship send-offs, we help make milestones memorable.

Extras & Add-Ons
Need something special? From flowers and cupcakes to local coffee drinks, dorm essentials, or even a last-minute keyboard, we’ve delivered it all. If it fits in our trunk (and sometimes even when it doesn’t), we’ll find a way.

These specialty college student deliveries are all about comfort, celebration, and connection—reminding your student that love from home is always near.

Client Reviews

Stacy makes life so much easier! I’ve used her for personal shopping multiple times and she always thorough, efficient and lovely to work with. This time my elderly neighbor needed help shopping for a gathering, and I was unavailable. Stacy stepped in, helped ordering party platters for her, scheduled the perfect prep time, picked them up and delivered the food. My 82 year old neighbor was able to concentrate on hosting her special event without the time consuming/taxing running around to prep for it. Thanks so much Stacy!

Ashlyn P.

Stacey is absolutely wonderful! My keyboard on my computer broke as I was trying to write a paper for college. It was late at night but she agreed to deliver a replacement to my dorm! She is super helpful and saved the day for me. She truly goes out of her way and I highly recommend her services!!

Scott C.

The best custom shopping experience I’ve ever had… Friendly, fast and flexible. Far better than the big corporate shopping options out there.

Ava A.

Love the St.Pete Shopping Company! Very flexible with times they can deliver my groceries and are always very careful about showing me deals which is important as I am in college and trying to save! Very kind and enthusiastic 🙂

Leigh M.

Stacey was so wonderful to work with! Great communication! We’re from out of state and wanted to do something special for our college kid’s bday. She helped me with ideas and options to make it so personalized! Highly recommend!

Linda S

St. Pete Shopping Company is the best! Their service, communication, and attention to customers is top notch and I like supporting a local business!

Audrey Brosnan P.

Just wanted to give a shout out for St. Pete Shopping Company. My daughter wasn’t feeling her best today and Stacey was able to accommodate a last minute request. Not only did she pick up a prescription at CVS but she also brought her a delicious bread bowl of chicken noodle soup! I can’t recommend them enough. Give them a try!

Kara D.

Hands down the best shopping service I have used! Very communicative and always gets what I need!! Highly recommend!!

Audrey P.

We used Stacey's service for the first time today and will definitely be return customers. Her communication is unmatched and her desire to deliver the highest quality items is clear. Stacey and St. Pete Shopping Company was a bright spot in my college student's stressful week. Thank you!

Denise

St. Pete Shopping is a great service owned and operated by 2 fantastic people Stacey Ward and her daughter. Right after Milton struck, Stacey went out of her way to bring me a cooler full of frozen water bottles to help keep my food cold and asked if she could help me in any other way.Thursday 10/31, with last minute notice, she ran an errand for me. She is a class act. I recommend using St. Pete Shopping for all your shopping needs and/or errands.

Lori J.

Perfect for Vacationing visitors! We visit Madeira Beach every April and stay in a vacation rental with our 2 kids. As part of my packing process, I always put in an order for Stacy so that our rental is stocked with all the groceries we need for our week and it's one less thing we need to worry about after flying all day with kids. Stacy often goes above and beyond, visiting multiple stores to make sure we have the specific items we requested. And more than once she has been able to remind me of items I've forgotten on my list that are super helpful for the trip! She even helps us with kids activity suggestions in the area! If you are visiting the area for vacation, I highly recommend giving Stacy a call and treating yourself to a fully stocked kitchen for your vacation.

Allison M.

Stacey, the owner AND a shopper for St Pete Shipping Co., is the absolute BEST!! This woman consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. If you need it she will find it and deliver it to you! It doesn’t matter what it is. She has been a tireless worker and supporter since Hurricane Helene blew through our area devastating lives and property. If you take a glance at her company FB page you will see evidence of her dedication to not only her clients but her community at large! Small business at its best!!

Lauri D.

Stacy is amazing, very communicative with clients. Always sure to get just want the client wants. If there is a sale on something she let's the customer know so that they may take advantage of sales. She will travel MUCH further than anyone else and will shop PLACES others won't. Every customer is treated like family. This woman spends everyday, almost ALL day to care for her family of customers.Seeing this post just makes me sick !!!And who says "cringe" besides a teenager who doesn't even know about shopping or costs cause mommy does that for them. I would recommend Stacy and her daughter to anyone and everyone. I personally couldn't do the job she does, and I'm a giver and a people pleaser... lolPlease, if you need anything Stacy is your girl!!!

Curt Z.

I am not sure what is wrong with this person Marlene. Who uses words like cringe in a review? What is she 14? Stacy is a great shopper and goes the extra mile to take care of her longtime customers as well as her new customers. She is kind, courteous and makes sure to check with her customers on their wants and needs.

Jenn

Stacy is our favorite shopper. She’s always gone above and beyond. She knows exactly what we want and if the store doesn’t have it, she will ask or go to another store. Can’t say enough positive praise for Stacy and her team!

Jeffery-Melissa R.

My daughters attend college there and it’s hard to always have delivered items you need to help them especially if they are sick or can’t come home for holidays. St. Pete Shopping Company will pick up items and food that other companies are limited to do. It’s a great assurance that my girls are taken care of.

Julia M.

My husband and I love using St. Pete Shopping Company! Stacey is efficient, communicative during the shop, and saves us time and stress!

Mark J.

This company has helped us in so many ways, going above and beyond delivering pet food to Hank’s Bark Box free of charge for those that want to make donations but have no way of getting those donations to us.Thank you VERY MUCH St. Pete Shopping Company!!

priscilla T.

Stacy is a great communicator, always pays attention to detail, and has never delivered my stuff late. She appears to know every local grocer on a personal level and has hunted down things for me that I couldn’t find myself. I fully trust Stacy and her team with my shopping 👍🏻

Laura M.

I totally recommend Stacey she’s awesome and goes over and beyond to get all requested items.

C. B.

Stacey’s overall level of service wonderful! Her communication about substitutes is quick and her suggestions are spot on if something is out-of-stock OR if the stock is poor quality. For example, if I’ve ordered a bag of red grapes but all options look old and the green grapes look amazing and fresh—she asks if I want to switch. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She selects the freshest produce, flowers, etc., and I’ve noticed it tends to last longer than perishables that some other shopping services sometimes bring me. She also lets you know when there is a BOGO so you can benefit from it!

Victoria C.

We just want to say an extra big thank you to Stacey Ward, Caylee Ward and St. Pete Shopping Company. Although we know you had other clients that you shopped for and helped today, we have to say we felt like we were taking up most of your time and efforts today. We would have not eaten, had medicine or for that matter, toilet paper, without you.First off, thank you for that wonderful and really hot Roasted Chicken from Sprouts. I can’t say thank you thank you thank you enough. We not only had the chicken for lunch but I made a quick easy Chicken Casserole for dinner. We will be putting those pork chops you brought us in the Crockpot tomorrow to go with those Mashed Potatoes you also brought. And, of course we will be having banana popsicles for dessert.Lastly, thank you for going to the pharmacy to pick up meds and also for the cough syrup.You are the best there is at everything you do. I just want the whole world know that even though you did all these things today, neither did you nor did we take the chance of coming face to face to get you sick. You are way too important to everyone down here to get sick or to carry our flu bug to someone else.Stacey, God loves you and Caylee and so do we. You are a true blessing to those you serve!

Barbara B.

Fantastic customer service. Meticulous attention to detail. As a small business owner, they provide a incredibly valuable experience.

Greg R.

Stacy is top-notch. Her attention to detail and inclination to go the extra mile for her clients is truly second to none. Stacy makes it her business to build relationships, not only with her clients, but with the grocery store managers, to ensure that customers’ needs are being not only met but exceeded. I highly recommend Stacy and St Pete Shopping Company!

Grace W.

Always cares about you and what you need and is very dedicated to making sure you get the best deal

Tara

Stacey is super helpful. She is a wonderful shopper, who knows my lists and preferences. I really appreciate having someone I can trust shop for me when I can’t get to the store that day.

Debbie W.

Stacey Ward and her daughter have created a caring business that will effectively and efficiently take care of all of your food shopping and errand needs. You’re a name to them and not a customer number. And, they pass along BOGO and other savings to you where the big name corporation services do not. Support local business owners!

Sue R.

Stacey and S. Pete Shopping Company is by far the most professional, conscientious, compassionate shopping service I have EVER dealt with! They came into my life just when I needed them most. They are so very dependable and I will use them as long as I am able. Do not hesitate to give your shopping needs to this excellent woman owned company. You will not regret it!

Jennifer Lara G.

I absolutely love Stacey and her company. I’ve never been disappointed!!!

Antonio A.

Stacey went above and beyond, updating me every step of the shopping for a flower arrangement I needed to get out to my friend. 10/10 recommend

Paula O.

St Pete Shopping Company is an amazing LOCALLY owned AND FAMILY run business! My orders are always delivered on time and Stacey will shop at multiple stores to make sure that I get everything ion my list! Great comnuhication!

Bethany M.

St. Pete Shopping Co. is a dreamcome true for my family. Women-run, responsive, kind, and always go above and beyond. There are days with my health I just can’t move well enough to do my own shopping. The team has me covered and makes it so easy. They are great communicators and really care about their clients. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!

Adrian T.

St. Pete Shopping Company is incredible. Stacey makes sure that she is clear on the order, even sending photos if there are questions/options. She remembers the nuances of what you’ve ordered before and anticipates what you might have forgotten. Just amazing!

Rebecca W.

Stacey is the best! She always goes above and beyond, even checking multiple stores if one is out of something. Would recommend her shopping service to anyone! And it’s more affordable than competitors… Win-win!

Eileen D.

St. Pete Shopping Company is amazing. So much attention to detail on my orders. Perfect communication. On time delivery. They go the extra mile in customer service too. I won’t use any other shopping service ever again.

Eileen W.

Stacey is amazing! She became my preferred shopper in early 2020. She reliably provides excellent service and goes above and beyond to satisfy her client’s needs.
