Forget the hardware run: Bunnings joins Uber Eats for nationwide 60-minute delivery service

Bunnings has partnered with Uber Eats to launch 60-minute deliveries across the country.

The partnership will begin with 15 locations in Australia before launching across the country and New Zealand. This announcement follows a trial phase across five stores in Melbourne which began in 2024.

Uber Eats' exclusive partnership with Bunnings is the latest in a series of major changes to fast delivery services in Australia, leaving shoppers with more choices than ever before.

Bunnings will launch more than 30,000 items on Uber Eats at the same prices customers will find in stores, including lawn powers, power washers, pet food, gardening equipment, DIY products, nuts, bolts and packing boxes.

"On-demand delivery has really increased in what our customers are looking for, whether it's getting on with a job or a project at home, or if you're on [a building] site," Ryan Baker, chief operating officer at Bunnings, said.

"The main thing for us is attracting a different customer base, but we're also seeing it resonate very strongly with our trade customers as well.

"This saves them a lot of time and money if they don't have to leave the site."

Bunnings COO, Ryan Baker said the partnership will "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".

"While many customers enjoy visiting our stores to browse and get advice in person, we know there are times when convenience and speed are the priority.

"This partnership complements our existing delivery options and helps us better understand how customers want to shop with Bunnings."

Uber Eats Apac's regional general manager of retail, Lucas Groeneveld, said the company is "thrilled" to expand its partnership with Bunnings.

"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.

Uber Eats' partnership with Bunnings sees Uber Eats take on rival Amazon, a month after Amazon announced a grocery delivery trial with Harris Farm Markets.

Customers in more than 80 postcodes across Sydney's Inner City, Inner West, and surrounding suburbs can now order Harris Farm Markets products via Amazon including same-day and next day deliveries.

While it's just in Sydney for now, Today Money Expert Joel Gibson told nine.com.au the partnership is being predicted to be "the beginning of something bigger".

"I suspect Amazon will look for other partners in other states to continue rolling out this model if it works," he said. "They're starting in Sydney, but they've got big ambitions for taking on the grocery giants."

Gibson said Amazon's "fastest-growing category" in Australia is "groceries, pantry goods, and nappies".

Amazon Australia has invested heavily in improving its grocery options, by slashing prices and speeding up delivery times.

The expansion is backed by a $490 million investment in two new fulfillment centres opening in Horsley Park this year, where employees pick, pack, and ship customer orders.

"It's funny how the two sides are becoming closer to each other – Coles and Woolies are also building big fulfillment centers in the suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne to make their online delivery offering more efficient, cheaper, and more low cost," Gibson said.

In late 2025, Uber Eats and DoorDash announced a series of changes as competition between the food and grocery fast delivery services heated up.

This rivalry saw Coles sign an exclusive partnership with Uber Eats, and Woolworths doing the same with DoorDash.

Uber Eats is now home to Bunnings, Coles, and Harris Farm Market. DoorDash has partnerships with Woolworths, Aldi, and Costco.
