Best Buy has another partnership. Customers can now use Uber Eats to deliver electronics from the Richfield-based company’s stores.
Uber on Tuesday said the partnership will cover a wide range of electronics for on-demand delivery or scheduled drop-offs through the Uber Eats app.
“Consumers today expect everything from groceries to gadgets to arrive at their doorsteps quickly and reliably,” said Hashim Amin, head of grocery and retail for North America at Uber, in a news release. “With this partnership, Uber Eats and Best Buy are making it easier than ever for customers to access the latest technology, whether it’s a necessity or something fun.”
The service is available at more than 800 Best Buy stores. The release did not provide details about participating locations and Best Buy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
An Uber spokesperson said 15 Minnesota locations will offer delivery through Uber Eats, ranging from suburbs such as Eden Prairie and Hopkins to greater Minnesota cities such as Duluth and Mankato.
The chain has been making strides in recent months toward reclaiming its authority as an electronics retailer.
In July, Best Buy announced a partnership with Ikea to bring kitchen and laundry mini-showrooms to 10 locations.
The company also relaunched its third-party marketplace in August, more than doubling the number of items sold online. The online outlet expanded the retailer’s reach beyond its traditional merchandise, such as Fanatics sportswear and Martha Stewart cookware.
