Hardware giant Bunnings will soon be available on the Uber Eats delivery service for the first time, promising tools, garden and household items delivered to the door in less than 60 minutes.

More than 30,000 items will be available for order from Uber Eats in Australia and New Zealand, with a staged rollout beginning with 15 locations in Australia following a successful pilot in Melbourne in January.

An offshoot of the ride-share giant Uber, Uber Eats promises the items will be delivered at in-store prices, with everything from everyday DIY items to garden supplies, power washers, chairs, mops, pet food and even a lawnmower on offer.

Bunnings chief operating officer Ryan Baker said that while many Australians preferred browsing their warehouse-sized stores, “we know there are times when convenience and speed are the priority”.

Uber Eats Apac regional general manager Lucas Groeneveld said the venture would bring “a huge range of everyday essentials” to the app.

“From last-minute DIY fixes and garden projects, to preparing for a BBQ 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,” he said.

While primarily catering to food delivery, Uber Eats has steadily expanded its services since launch, with Australian shoppers able to get their groceries and items from retail stores such as Pet Barn, Officeworks and EB Games delivered to their door.

In New Zealand it is possible to order pharmacy items and alcohol, in addition to the usual takeway food offerings.

In 2024, Bunnings and Uber launched same-day parcel delivery for eligible orders from select metropolitan and regional stores in Australia.

Service and delivery fees will apply to Uber Eats Bunnings orders, with the Uber One membership $0 delivery applicable to baskets over a certain value on eligible orders.

Bunnings stores are expected to rollout Uber Eats deliveries sometime during 2026.
