Bunnings Partners with Uber for Same-Day Delivery Over Christmas
If you’ve ever found yourself running to Bunnings multiple times in a single day for that one missing item, you’re not alone. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a tradie on a tight deadline, this kind of frustration is part of the Bunnings experience. But thanks to an exciting new collaboration between Bunnings and Uber, this ritual could soon be a thing of the past. As Christmas approaches, Bunnings has teamed up with Uber to offer a game-changing same-day delivery service, designed to make the holiday season smoother for both regional and metro customers.
This new service, launching just in time for Christmas, is a welcome relief for those last-minute shoppers who may need tools, supplies, or even a forgotten gift. Starting now, customers who place orders by 2pm can have their parcel-sized purchases delivered to their door by 7pm on the same day—just in time for dinner or finishing that DIY project. And for those in regional areas, Bunnings has extended this convenience by partnering with Uber to deliver to over 100 stores across the country.

This move marks a major shift in Bunnings' customer experience strategy, especially for those living outside metropolitan areas. For a flat fee of just $15, customers can enjoy same-day delivery, with the added benefit of knowing exactly when their products will arrive. The only limitation? Deliveries can only be made within a 15-kilometre radius of participating stores. This geographical limit ensures that the service remains efficient while covering a wide range of customers in need of timely deliveries.
Ryan Baker, Bunnings' Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating that the company is committed to enhancing customer experience and making the holiday season less stressful. While many Australians cherish the in-store experience—complete with the iconic sausage sizzle and browsing the aisles—this new service caters to those who need quick, convenient delivery. Whether you’re a homeowner scrambling to finish a project or a last-minute shopper in need of a gift, this partnership provides a solution.
Uber Direct, the arm of Uber handling deliveries, has already been successful in the U.S. with similar hardware retailers, and the Australian market is expected to see similar positive demand. With Christmas delivery cut-offs looming for Australia Post, this collaboration offers a timely alternative for customers still looking to get their orders before the big day.
For tradies, in particular, this service is a dream come true. Imagine snapping a drill bit on-site or realizing you’re missing that one crucial tool—traditionally, it would mean leaving the job site, driving to Bunnings, and losing precious hours. But now, Uber's same-day delivery can quickly bring exactly what you need right to your doorstep. As one satisfied customer, Brad Bartels, mentioned, this service is particularly valuable for small businesses, where time is money, and efficiency is key.
This pilot program is just the beginning. Bunnings and Uber have plans to expand this service in the future, based on feedback from this initial rollout. Whether you need supplies for a renovation or just a few last-minute Christmas gifts, this partnership is here to help Australians get the job done quickly and efficiently, without the hassle of multiple trips to the store. So, if you’re dreading the Christmas rush, just remember: Bunnings and Uber have got you covered.
