business, office and school essentials to customers across the
US.
Uber Eats consumers will be able to shop
for thousands of Staples items for on-demand or scheduled

This month, the full chain of Staples US Retail Stores will be

supplies delivered to their doorsteps. From paper, ink and toner,
to backpacks, pens, folders and more, Uber Eats consumers will be
able to shop for thousands of items for scheduled or on-demand
delivery. Uber One members benefit from a $0 Delivery Fee and up to 10% off all STAPLES

"Back to school and back to the office, can make September one
of the busiest months of the year, and Staples has the solution to
so many household challenges," said Christian Freese, Uber's Head of Grocery and New
Verticals across the US & Canada. "Whether it's a printer
paper emergency or a science fair project tri-fold, together with
Staples we'll help people get (almost) anything they need—anytime
they need it—delivered to their doorstep."
"We're excited about this new partnership with Uber to help even
more consumers and small businesses find what they're looking for
from Staples," said Marshall
Warkentin, Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer,
Staples US Retail. "Increasing on-demand delivery of our wide
assortment of home office, business, and classroom products means
we can be a more convenient and reliable solution— wherever you are
working or learning."
This partnership continues Uber's ongoing commitment to retail
and grocery delivery, which has grown throughout in 2023 to include
new retailers across pet supplies, specialty grocery and more. 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.
