Stationery retailer targets BTS and home workers.

 

Staples has partnered with Uber Eats to make school and office supplies available for scheduled or on-demand delivery from its stores across the US.

 

Staples has been expanding its integrations with other retailers and service providers in recent months. 

 

The retailer agreed to let its stores function as return centres for Amazon in June and partnered with DoorDash for deliveries in August 2023.

 

“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,” Christian Freese, head of grocery at Uber, said in a statement. 

 

“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,” he said.

 

“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,” Marshall Warkentin, chief marketing and merchandising officer at Staples US Retail, added.
