The Home Depot has announced partnerships with both DoorDash and Uber Eats to provide on-demand delivery from 2,000 stores nationwide.
“We’re excited to partner with The Home Depot to give DIY and pro customers immediate access to the home improvement supplies they need,” says Mike Goldblatt, DoorDash VP of new verticals partnerships. “Amidst a project and out of nails, screw heads or drill bits, on-demand delivery from DoorDash can save time and any added stress. As we continue our mission to empower local economies, we’re incredibly proud to connect consumers to more retail stores in their communities with convenience and ease.”
Now, users have access to same-day delivery of home improvement products directly from both apps, with delivery taking as little as one hour. Some delivery fees may be applied as well.
“Teaming up with The Home Depot is a new step forward in serving consumers through delivery in even more aspects of their lives,” says Hashim Amin, Uber Eats head of north american grocery and retail delivery. “Together, we’re breaking down barriers and making it easier for people to access the products they need for their projects, all from the convenience of their phone or computer, with the reliability Uber is known for.”
This partnership marks DoorDash and Uber Eats’ expansion into the home improvement category, following Home Depot’s announcement last year when the mobile delivery service partnered with Lowe’s.
“Combining DoorDash’s fast and convenient platform with The Home Depot’s existing same-day and next-day delivery options, homedepot.com offers our customers even more flexibility and convenience to shop in the way that best suits their needs,” says Jordan Broggi, executive vice president of customer experience and president of online at The Home Depot. “This is one of the many ways we’re expanding our digital capabilities to create a seamless, interconnected shopping experience.”
