Uber Eats has a fix for pesky returns. You can just sit on the couch
The feature covers eligible items from participating retailers and gives customers an instant refund when a courier picks up the return, Uber said.
- On Friday, Uber Eats launched a courier pickup service for retail returns, allowing customers to schedule pickups for instant refunds across nearly 5,000 U.S. cities without leaving home.
- According to a survey by post-purchase platform Route, 43% of shoppers cite waiting for refunds as the most stressful return aspect, while roughly one in three struggle with packaging and printing labels.
- Nine retailers including Target, Best Buy, and Dick's Sporting Goods participate at launch; items must cost at least $20, weigh under 30 pounds, and incur a $5 pickup fee.
- Uber aims to add 'stickiness' to its app by positioning couriers as a general-purpose logistics platform, optimizing fleet efficiency beyond food delivery and ride-hailing.
- Market data shows U.S. returns totaled $850 billion in 2025, according to the National Retail Federation, as Uber plans to add retail partners and compete with Amazon in reverse logistics.
