“This new service is another way H-E-B and Favor are working together to respond to unprecedented demand during this crisis to get Texans the essentials they need, when they need them,” said H-E-B Chief Digital Officer and Favor CEO Jag Bath.
Delivery fees are being lowered to $4.98, regularly $9.95, for a limited time. However, the release didn’t clarify how long the fee will be discounted.

“We continue increasing H-E-B Curbside and Home Delivery availability for customers who want to place orders in advance for same day, next day or later," Bath said.
H-E-B also has a Senior Support Line, in partnership with Favor, designed to offer a safer solution for people ages 60 and over.
To continue making this service affordable to seniors, H-E-B and Favor are waiving all delivery service fees for the Senior Support Program through the end of May, and orders will only require a $10 Runner tip, according to the release.
