Costco expands delivery nationwide through DoorDash and Uber Eats
Costco said on Thursday that its members can now order groceries, household essentials and electronics for delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats across the United States. DoorDash said the arrangement is its first same-day delivery offering in the US, while Uber Eats, which announced its own nationwide Costco delivery earlier in the week, said it had previously served Costco members in Mexico, Canada and Japan.
DoorDash, which is based in San Francisco, already delivers Costco goods in several markets including Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico, according to the announcement. The company said the US expansion follows requests from Costco members.
Uber Eats said earlier in the week that it would begin delivering to Costco shoppers across the US. In 2024, Uber Eats began offering delivery to Costco shoppers in 17 states, according to the source.
Costco members must link their membership with DoorDash and Uber Eats in order to complete their orders. Members have been able to order groceries from the warehouse store through Instacart for nearly a decade.
Costco operates in 47 states and has locations in 14 countries, according to the source. The chain has more than 800 warehouse stores globally and 125 million members worldwide as of 2022, according to its website.
