Costco Expands Same-Day Delivery with DoorDash and Uber
Costco is expanding its same-day delivery options by partnering with DoorDash and Uber, aiming to boost e-commerce sales and compete more effectively against rivals like Walmart and Target. Through these partnerships, customers can now pick up online orders at U.S. Costco locations and have them delivered via gig drivers on the respective apps. The collaboration allows Costco to leverage existing delivery networks without investing in its own logistics infrastructure. DoorDash's service is already available in several international markets, while Uber Eats has expanded from 17 states to cover nearly all of the U.S., with access to almost 600 Costco locations on the app. Industry experts suggest that by diversifying delivery options beyond Instacart, Costco can drive competition among platforms for better service and pricing. This move aligns with broader trends in retail as online sales continue growing rapidly.
