Uber Inks Customer-Friendly Deal With Best Buy: Sign of More Growth?

Uber Technologies UBER inked a deal with retailer Best Buy BBY for on-demand delivery. The deal brings consumer electronics from more than 800 stores to the Uber Eats platform. Uber Eats is the online food ordering and delivery platform of Uber.Following the tie-up, which took effect on Sept. 2, Best Buy customers throughout the United States are eligible to order a wide range of electronics, appliances and tech essentials on Uber Eats for delivery to their doorsteps.The partnership allows Uber Eats and Best Buy to make the latest technology more accessible than ever, thereby reflecting the deal’s customer-friendly nature. To celebrate the launch, Uber Eats is offering $20 off Best Buy orders of at least $60. The promotion will run through Sept. 29, 2025. Uber One members get free delivery on eligible orders and other benefits.  The association with Best Buy to facilitate electronics delivery strengthens Uber’s delivery segment and is aimed at diversifying its delivery ecosystem. Even after economies reopened, the habit of placing orders online stayed among people. Encouraged by the performance of the segment during the pandemic, Uber is making constant efforts to expand its delivery operations.The deal with Best Buy came shortly after Uber’s agreement with discount retailers Dollar General DG and Dollar Tree DLTR. The tie-up with Dollar General, which took effect on Aug. 8, ensured that its more than 14,000 locations arrived on the Uber Eats platform. Following the association, customers are using the Uber Eats app to order food, beverages and other essentials.The deal with Dollar Tree, inked late last month, has enhanced UBER’s retail delivery capabilities by adding nearly 9,000 stores to the Uber Eats platform.
