Could be the principal company Pricesmart Inc prevented them from allowing non-members to shop.
Pricesmart is an international company publicly traded on the NASDAQ and based in San Diego California and operated in 12 countries - not just T&T or the Caribbean.

Considering it's free for a period, should be low risk to try.

I do not think delivery is available. I placed an online order on Saturday afternoon. At the checkout stage, the only option available was to collect via the "Click & Go" service. In the past, I have taken delivery which was an option at checkout.

I collected my order yesterday. Very smooth, no contact and very efficient. Arrived at PS 11.10 AM (my pickup slot was 11.00 AM to 12.00 PM), sent a WhatsApp notifying them of my arrival and provided my order number and then about 15 minutes later, they arrived at my car and dropped the items in trunk.

I do not know if the delivery is available atm. Do your order online and see what options exist at checkout. Perhaps PS is limiting contact of their drivers during this period which is totally understandable. The collect and go service is just as good and low risk.

Been using it months now - great service
It is a lil slow right now as delivery taking a few days instead of next day but that's probably because of increased demand

Same here. Did an order today that supposed to be delivered next Thursday. I think you could pay extra for next day delivery but my household made a routine order - no rush.

A little over an hour. I went at the time given on the email. Not want was advertised on the website, but I'll still use the service again. An hour wait and avoiding the chin maskers and potential covid is a price I'll pay.
