Costco members across Canada can now order products from their local warehouses through DoorDash, expanding the retailer’s delivery options nationwide.
“Costco members have expressed an appetite for years to be able to shop from their local warehouse on DoorDash,” said Mike Goldblatt, vice-president of enterprise partnerships at DoorDash. “Costco’s quality, value, and selection combined with DoorDash’s reach and local delivery expertise give members more flexibility in how they shop. We’re honoured to see our global partnership continue to grow with Costco, delighting more members worldwide.”
The partnership allows members to use DoorDash to order groceries, pantry staples, household essentials, beauty products, electronics, seasonal merchandise and other items from the retailer’s warehouses. The Canadian launch follows Costco and DoorDash’s recently announced partnership in the United States and existing availability in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Iceland and Puerto Rico.
The rollout gives Costco members another way to shop its warehouse assortment without visiting a store, while extending DoorDash’s role in delivering products from the membership-based retailer. Customers can access thousands of items through the DoorDash platform and have their orders shopped and delivered by a Dasher.
To use the service, Costco members navigate to Costco on DoorDash and enter their Costco membership ID. Consumers who are not members can follow a link to Costco.ca to purchase a membership before returning to DoorDash to connect their new account.
Customers can then select from the available merchandise and complete their order through DoorDash. DashPass members can receive $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on orders with a subtotal of $85 or more, subject to the terms outlined by the companies.
A Dasher shops for the order and provides updates to the customer during the delivery process.
The Canadian expansion is the latest development in a broader relationship between Costco and DoorDash that now spans several international markets. The companies said the Canadian launch responds to demand from Costco members for the ability to shop from their local warehouse through DoorDash.
