FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Uber
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and Office Depot, a wholly owned
subsidiary of The ODP Corporation (NASDAQ: ODP) and leading
provider of business services and supplies, products and technology
solutions, announced that they are teaming up to bring business,
office and school essentials to customers nationwide. Office Depot
is the first business solutions and office supply retailer to be
available on Uber Eats.
Starting today, just in time for the new school year, over 900
Office Depot and OfficeMax stores across the country will be
available to shop through the Uber Eats platform. From ink &
toner, to backpacks, binders, and more, consumers will be able to
shop for thousands of items and have them delivered right to their
door. Uber One members benefit from a $0 Delivery Fee and 5% discount on all Office
Depot orders with a $15 minimum
purchase.
"We know this is the busiest time of year for many, with back to
school and even going back to the office, at Uber, we're always
looking for ways to make peoples' lives easier by helping them get
whatever they need—whenever they need it—delivered to their
doorstep," said Christian Freese,
head of New Verticals for Uber Eats in the US & Canada. "Whether it's a printer paper shortage
or a school project glue stick emergency, Uber Eats customers can
find what they need to handle any business or school supply need
with Office Depot on the platform."
"With the start of a new school year and new busy schedules for
many, we're excited to team up with Uber Eats to provide students,
parents, teachers, small business owners and home office workers
with an additional on-demand delivery option to help them get the
tools they need, when they need them," said Jamie Columbus, Vice President of eCommerce for
Office Depot. "We're proud to offer a wide assortment of business,
teaching and learning products on the Uber Eats platform, with
significant savings off our best-selling school supplies available
through Sept. 10."
This partnership continues Uber's ongoing commitment to retail
and grocery delivery. In the U.S. and around the world, Uber is
uniquely poised to meet consumers' growing desire to get the things
they need from grocery stores and other merchants in an on-demand
fashion within hours—if not minutes—rather than days.
