U.S. retail giant Costco and Uber are trialing same-day delivery service

As the epidemic in the United States has not been effectively contained, coupled with certain restrictions on travel, the delivery service of daily necessities and online shopping goods for American residents is extremely important. In response, American retailer Costco has reached a cooperation with Uber to pilot a same-day delivery service in 25 locations in Texas . According to foreign media reports, the minimum order amount is US$35, and holders of Uber Pass and Eats Pass can enjoy free delivery service. Consumers can get the delivery service they need through Uber and its Eats application, which enhances consumers' experience in goods delivery.

Residents in the trial areas of the same-day delivery service can enjoy the fastest delivery service, and merchants will replenish goods in local warehouses in a timely manner. If the trial is successful, it will provide experience and sufficient preparation for the expansion of the trial points in the future. For the two companies that have already laid a good foundation among consumers, the trial of the "same-day delivery service" is just the beginning of their plan, and more in-depth cooperation will be carried out in the future.

According to information, this cooperation is also the first trial service between Uber and such retailers in the United States. In this cooperation , Costco said that it hopes to expand this service to other areas of cooperation with Uber, and also hopes to bring more high-quality, efficient services and high-quality and low-priced goods to its consumers. The person in charge of Uber said that this is also the key to the combination of wholesale retailers and delivery services. Consumers in Texas expressed support for the same-day delivery service and were happy to be the first to experience this service.

Costco currently has 809 warehouses around the world and has e-commerce websites in many countries. In August 2019, Costco opened its first store in China in Shanghai, and its performance has been stable. With the trial of this service, its extended market scope will continue to expand in the future, and the Chinese market may also be included.
