Costco expands Uber Eats delivery partnership to 47 states

SEATTLE — Costco Wholesale and Uber Technologies announced on Sept. 16, 2026, an expansion of their delivery partnership, bringing on-demand Costco orders via Uber Eats to 47 states, up from the previous footprint of 17 states. The nationwide push broadens the warehouse club's digital fulfillment capabilities for members seeking home delivery.

The updated agreement makes Costco's inventory accessible through the Uber Eats app across the vast majority of the country. Under the terms of the expanded service, participating members can place delivery orders directly through the platform, scaling a relationship that previously operated on a more limited geographic scale across 17 states.

Strategic Context

Costco has historically maintained a selective approach to third-party delivery services, building out its own fulfillment network while maintaining its long-standing relationship with Instacart. The expansion with Uber Eats positions the warehouse club alongside retail chains utilizing multi-app delivery models. For Uber, adding Costco's warehouse inventory strengthens its retail delivery catalog as competition intensifies among major logistics platforms.

The rollout to 47 states increases the addressable market for Costco goods ordered through Uber's consumer app, touching regions that previously lacked access to the partnership.

Forward Outlook

Operators and retail allocators monitoring the warehouse club sector will watch how the expanded 47-state footprint affects delivery operations, membership engagement, and sales volume compared to traditional in-club shopping and existing delivery alternatives.
