Uber and Costco Kick Off Grocery Delivery Pilot Program in Texas

Uber Technologies, Inc. and Costco have entered a delivery pilot with 25 locations across Texas where Costco members could have their groceries delivered within hours, if not minutes, with Uber and Uber Eats. In the coming weeks, seven additional Costco warehouses will be available to Uber users via Uber and Uber Eats mobile apps. The minimum order amount is $35 and delivery is free for Uber Pass and Eats Pass holders. This is Uber’s first pilot with a food wholesaler in the United States.

“One thing we know to be true is that people across the United States are looking for convenient and affordable ways to stock their pantries without leaving home—especially for last-minute must-have items,” said Raj Beri, Uber’s Head of Grocery Delivery. “Today’s announcement with Costco is an important step towards marrying the magic of wholesale retail with on-demand delivery in the palm of your hand, and I’m thrilled that Texans are getting a first look at what’s to come.”

Costco currently offers online ordering and delivery through its own channels and additional third parties.

“Our mission statement at Costco is to take care of our members. By finding solutions to deliver merchandise quickly and efficiently, we continue to offer our members value, convenience and member service,” said Ron Vachris, Costco Executive Vice President, Merchandising.

Starting today, Uber users in Dallas, Austin and Houston can order from their local Costco warehouses.
