Bunnings Launches on Uber Eats: A New Era for DIY Deliveries
The iconic Saturday morning dash to Bunnings for a sausage sizzle and last-minute supplies could soon become a nostalgic memory for many Australians. In a strategic move set to revolutionise how households and tradespeople manage DIY disasters, backyard barbecues, and urgent project needs, Bunnings has officially launched its extensive product range on the Uber Eats platform.
Massive Product Range Available for Rapid Delivery
This groundbreaking partnership means shoppers can now order everything from nuts and bolts to full-sized lawn mowers directly to their doorstep in under sixty minutes. For the first time ever, more than thirty thousand Bunnings products will be accessible through the Uber Eats app across both Australia and New Zealand. This represents the largest retail assortment currently offered on the platform, with prices matching in-store rates to ensure fairness and transparency for consumers.
From power washers and packing boxes to pet food, mops, folding chairs, and comprehensive garden supplies, the beloved warehouse chain is effectively bringing its entire aisles to customers' smartphones. Whether individuals are at home, on a worksite, or experiencing a mid-project meltdown, this service aims to provide unparalleled convenience and speed.
Staged Rollout Following Successful Pilot Programme
The rollout will commence in phases, initially launching across fifteen locations nationwide. This follows what both companies described as a highly successful pilot across five Melbourne stores in late January 2026, which reportedly demonstrated strong demand from both retail shoppers and trade customers alike. Bunnings Chief Operating Officer Ryan Baker emphasised that this expansion builds upon the retailer's evolving delivery strategy, designed to meet changing consumer expectations.
'We are excited to expand our partnership with Uber to offer customers another convenient way to shop a wide range of products from Bunnings, delivered directly to their home or worksite via the Uber Eats app,' Baker stated. 'While many customers enjoy visiting our stores to browse and receive personalised advice in person, we recognise there are times when convenience and speed become the absolute priority. This partnership complements our existing delivery options and helps us better understand how customers prefer to shop with Bunnings.'
Deepening Integration with Uber Eats Platform
In 2024, Bunnings and Uber first collaborated to offer same-day parcel delivery from select metropolitan and regional stores. However, this latest initiative signals a far deeper integration, positioning the hardware retail giant alongside typical Friday night takeaway orders on the app. Uber Eats APAC's Regional General Manager of Retail, Lucas Groeneveld, described the collaboration as a natural next step in the platform's rapid retail expansion.
'We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Bunnings, one of Australia and New Zealand's most iconic brands, to offer a huge range of everyday home essentials through the Uber Eats app,' Groeneveld commented. 'From last-minute DIY fixes and garden projects, to preparing for a barbecue or keeping a work site moving, this partnership makes it easier than ever for customers to get what they need, delivered on demand, whatever the occasion.'
Service Details and Future Expansion Plans
While Uber Eats originally built its reputation in food delivery, it has steadily diversified in recent years, adding groceries and retail partners including Petbarn, Officeworks, and EB Games to its digital shelves. Service and delivery fees will apply to Bunnings orders placed via Uber Eats, though Uber One members can access a zero-dollar delivery fee on eligible orders over a minimum spend in Australia, with similar benefits expected in New Zealand once the service launches there.
More stores are anticipated to join the platform progressively, with a broader expansion slated across Australia and New Zealand following the initial staged launch. For die-hard enthusiasts who relish wandering the cavernous aisles, sampling tools, and grabbing a sausage on the way out, nothing will quite replace the cherished in-store ritual. Yet for those critical moments when a crucial screw is missing mid-assembly or a lawn mower fails minutes before guests arrive, this innovative service could represent the game-changing solution Australians never realised they required.
