– The service is available starting today and offers same-day delivery from over 800 Best Buy stores.
– Best Buy already has existing delivery partnerships with Instacart and DoorDash.

Finding the right tech gadget just got a whole lot more convenient. Uber Eats has announced a new partnership with Best Buy, bringing a wide range of electronics directly to customers’ doors through its popular delivery platform. Starting immediately, users can order everything from headphones and chargers to laptops, gaming accessories, and small kitchen appliances with the same ease as ordering a meal.
This collaboration expands Best Buy’s existing delivery options, which already include services like Instacart and DoorDash. More than 800 Best Buy locations are participating in the program, offering a significant portion of the retailer’s North American footprint. While the exact number of stores is slightly lower than Best Buy’s total count, the coverage remains extensive for most urban and suburban areas.
One question on many shoppers’ minds is whether pricing will differ between in-store purchases and orders placed via Uber Eats. The delivery platform typically charges fees, which could potentially affect final costs. At the time of the announcement, no details were provided regarding potential price adjustments. We have contacted Best Buy for clarification and will update as more information becomes available.
To shop Best Buy on Uber Eats, customers can navigate to the “Retail” or “Electronics” section within the app, search for Best Buy, and explore available products from their nearest participating store. This move signals a continued blurring of lines between food delivery and broader retail services, offering shoppers more flexibility and speed in how they acquire everyday items.
