Today, Walgreens announced it has expanded its collaboration
with Uber to offer products directly on the Uber Eats platform to
customers across the United States. Customers can have health and
wellness, beauty and personal care, household essentials,
over-the-counter medications, and more, from Walgreens delivered
through Uber.
The on-demand delivery service is now available from more than
7,800 stores across the United States with Puerto Rico to soon
follow. The collaboration launches with top selling Walgreens
retail items on the Uber Eats app with more added daily and the
goal to expand to the entire assortment of more than 20,000
products over time.
“Walgreens provides our customers with seamless health and
well-being experiences, and offering them convenient delivery
solutions on whichever platform they prefer to shop is key,” said
Stefanie Kruse, vice president, digital commerce and omnichannel at
Walgreens. “Our collaboration with Uber for on-demand delivery
through both Walgreens and Uber’s channels, as well as integrated
vaccine scheduling, gives customers simple and easy ways to put
their health and well-being needs at the forefront – which will
continue to be important to them as we emerge from the
pandemic.”
"By leveraging the best of what Walgreens and Uber have to offer
we're making it easier than ever for customers to prioritize their
health and wellness," said Raj Beri, Uber’s Head of Grocery
Delivery. "From on-demand delivery of essentials to hassle-free
vaccine scheduling all at the touch of a button, we're focused on
eliminating barriers that burden customers’ everyday life, helping
them go anywhere and get anything instantly.”
Customers who wish to order Walgreens items for delivery simply
need to open the Uber Eats app, tap the convenience or pharmacy
icons, select Walgreens and begin shopping. To celebrate the new
launch, Walgreens and Uber Eats are offering customers $20 promo
off orders of $30 or more through 6/27*.
Additionally, Uber and Walgreens worked together earlier this
year to create a new vaccine scheduling option via the Uber app
where Uber users in the United States can choose to schedule a
COVID-19 vaccine appointment at Walgreens. After adding a zip code
and selecting from the available appointment times, users have the
option to reserve a ride to the appointment by scheduling a pickup
time and location. Before the appointment, a push notification
reminds users of their upcoming ride to their vaccination
appointment.
*$20 promotion expires 6/27.2021. Order minimum of $30 (before
taxes and fees) from Walgreens is required. Offer only valid on one
Walgreens order. Offer automatically applied at checkout. Available
only at participating Walgreens stores. Taxes and fees still apply.
Only valid where the Convenience section is available in the Uber
and/or Uber Eats app. Non-transferable and subject to change or
cancellation.
