Australian retailers adopt on-demand delivery

Overview

Major Australian retailers have begun implementing on-demand delivery partnerships to provide rapid access to a wide range of consumer goods.

Target initiated this trend by partnering with Uber Eats to offer delivery of over 25,000 products, including clothing and homewares, with an expected arrival time of within 60 minutes. The service launched across 20 stores with plans for a national rollout.

Following this, BIG W partnered with DoorDash to offer on-demand delivery for more than 35,000 products across 156 stores. This service, which includes items such as electronics and toys, also aims for delivery in as little as one hour. Both retailers have positioned these services to provide convenience for shoppers ahead of the Christmas season.
