NYC Same Day Book Delivery Service

According to Strand Book Store, there are currently 80 bookstores in Manhattan, down from a high of 386 in 1950. Unfortunately, as the beautiful movie ‘You’ve Got Mail’ portrayed, it is tough for independent bookstores to keep up with retail giants like Amazon. The convenience they offer is just too enjoyable - however, what if you could get books delivered, same-day, from any NYC bookstore without sacrificing any convenience? That’s where Getcho comes into play.

Getcho is a same-day, dependable, and efficient delivery service that can transport almost anything you need across NYC – forgotten credit cards, curbside orders, and of course, books.

Since we are a delivery-focused platform, we don’t charge any fees to retailers or restaurants. Instead, customers can conveniently place delivery orders through the Getcho app. Local businesses appreciate the opportunity to make direct sales, while customers enjoy the convenience of a centralized delivery solution.

How to use Getcho for on-demand book delivery in NYC

In order to ensure we can make the book delivery you want, you can simply:

1. Search the web for nearby bookstores (or use the list we have created below).
2. Check for your online title over the phone or on the store’s website. Not all indie booksellers have an up-to-date catalog, so we recommend calling.
3. Get a delivery quote using our simple online quote generator.
4. Purchase the book; if the seller doesn’t have an online checkout page, then call and tell them you’d like to purchase over the phone. Let them know that you’ll be sending a driver to pick up the book when it’s ready.

Now, you are ready to get started with Getcho! Simply download the Getcho app from the App Store or the Play Store.
