Bunnings joins Uber Eats, offering 60-minute delivery across DIY and hardware range

For years, Australia’s biggest hardware retailer has fiercely protected the in-store experience. Now Bunnings is stepping into on-demand commerce, striking a landmark partnership with Uber Eats that promises delivery of tools, garden supplies and household essentials in under 60 minutes.

The rollout marks the first time Bunnings’ range has been made available through the Uber Eats platform, with more than 30,000 products listed at in-store prices across Australia and New Zealand. The staged launch will begin with 15 locations across Australia before scaling to a broader rollout. The move follows a pilot across five Melbourne stores in late January, which Bunnings and Uber Eats said generated strong demand from both retail and trade customers.

Customers will be able to order products spanning home improvement, garden and household essentials, including tools, hardware supplies and larger items such as lawn mowers.

Bunnings chief operating officer Ryan Baker said the partnership was designed to complement existing delivery services while responding to changing customer expectations around speed and convenience.

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Uber to 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,” Baker said.

“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.”

Uber Eats APAC regional general manager of retail Lucas Groeneveld described the launch as a significant expansion of the platform’s retail offering.

“We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with Bunnings, one of Australia and New Zealand’s most iconic brands, to offer a huge range of everyday home essentials through the Uber Eats app,” Groeneveld said.

The partnership builds on an existing relationship between the companies, which began in 2024 with the introduction of same-day parcel delivery from select Bunnings stores.

For retailers and marketers, the move highlights the continued blurring of lines between food delivery platforms and broader retail commerce. Uber Eats has steadily expanded its non-food categories, positioning itself as an on-demand logistics and marketplace layer rather than a pure meal delivery service.

For Bunnings, the partnership signals a further push into immediacy and mission-based shopping behaviour, particularly for customers seeking urgent supplies for DIY projects, maintenance or trade work.

The launch also reflects growing consumer comfort with using delivery apps for categories traditionally associated with in-store browsing and planned purchasing.

New Bunnings locations are expected to join the Uber Eats platform from the first half of 2026.
