Costco and DoorDash Launch Same-Day Delivery in US

Costco has joined the list of retailers available for same-day delivery through DoorDash in the United States, the companies announced on September 17, 2023. This expansion expands the existing partnership that already includes Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Iceland, and Puerto Rico. US Costco members can order a wide range of items from their local warehouse through the DoorDash app, including groceries, household essentials, electronics, seasonal merchandise, and more.

To shop, members simply search for Costco in the DoorDash app, select their local warehouse, shop, link their active Costco membership, and complete their order. Non-members can easily become members by purchasing one on Costco.com and then returning to DoorDash to link their new account. Before this launch, Costco was one of the most-searched retailers not available on DoorDash.

DoorDash’s vice president of enterprise partnerships, Mike Goldblatt, stated that this collaboration brings Costco’s quality, value, and selection to DoorDash’s extensive reach and local delivery network, giving members greater flexibility in their shopping. With Costco’s addition, DoorDash now partners with eight of the ten largest food retailers in North America.

DoorDash expanded into new grocery categories in 2022 by adding BJ’s Wholesale Club as its first wholesale club partner. More recently, the company reported that grocery and retail verticals are growing faster than its core restaurant business and are expected to become profitable by the end of the year. Costco has also recently expanded its partnership with Uber Technologies to offer delivery through Uber Eats in 47 U.S. states and in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, France, and Spain.
