Uber launches Uber Direct

Uber Direct builds upon Uber Eats’ recent expansion into grocery and convenience store delivery by allowing shoppers to place orders from select retailers and get contactless home delivery. In New York City, Uber is partnering with Cabinet to provide over-the-counter medication. Uber is also partnering with the national postal service CTT in Portugal, with Greencross to deliver pet supplies in Australia, and with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to deliver medication to vulnerable communities in South Africa.
