Australia’s beloved hardware giant Bunnings has officially joined forces with Uber Eats in a major expansion of its delivery offering, promising to put more than 30,000 products at your door in under 60 minutes. From lawn mowers and power washers to garden soil and packing boxes, the range is broad – but don’t get your hopes up about that iconic sausage sizzle. The snags stay at the store.
The rollout, announced on 23rd February 2026, marks a significant step forward for the Wesfarmers-owned retailer, which first partnered with Uber for same-day parcel delivery from select stores back in 2024.
How the Bunnings and Uber Eats Deal Works
Customers across Australia and New Zealand will soon be able to shop from more than 30,000 Bunnings products directly through the Uber Eats app, with a staged rollout beginning at 15 locations in Australia following a successful pilot across five Melbourne stores.
Bunnings partners with Uber Eats to bring on-demand hardware delivery to Australian homes and worksites.
Key details of the partnership include:
- Over 30,000 products available on the Uber Eats app at in-store prices
- Delivery to homes or worksites in under 60 minutes
- Rollout begins at 15 Australian locations before a full national and New Zealand launch
- Uber One members receive $0 delivery fees on eligible orders above the minimum spend threshold
Shoppers can order everything from nuts and bolts to lawn mowers, power washers, pet food, packing boxes, and everyday DIY essentials.
What Bunnings and Uber Eats Are Saying
Bunnings Chief Operating Officer Ryan Baker said the move responds directly to how customers shop today.
“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. This partnership complements our existing delivery options and helps us better understand how customers want to shop with Bunnings,” Baker said.
On the Uber Eats side, APAC Regional General Manager of Retail Lucas Groeneveld pointed to the retailer’s store network as a genuine competitive edge.
“On-demand orders can be fulfilled from a nearby store and delivered through Uber’s network of more than 200,000 delivery people and driver partners,” he said.
Groeneveld added that the offering covers everything “from last-minute DIY fixes and garden projects, to preparing for a BBQ or keeping a work site moving.”
Why This Move Makes Sense Right Now
Bunnings remains a key success story for Wesfarmers, which recently reported a 9.3 per cent rise in first-half net profit to $1.6 billion. The hardware chain posted same-store sales growth of 4.2 per cent to $10.7 billion, with earnings climbing 5 per cent to $1.39 billion.
The Uber Eats expansion fits neatly into that growth story. Quick commerce – the model of delivering retail goods in under an hour – has accelerated sharply across Australia over the past two years. Coles expanded its Uber Eats range in December 2025, and fellow Wesfarmers brand Officeworks made the same move around the same time.
Bunnings now joins a growing list of non-food partners on the platform, including Pet Barn, Officeworks, and EB Games.
That said, it’s worth noting that Bunnings’ store-based fulfilment model gives it an advantage that competitors relying on warehouses don’t have. Products are already geographically close to the customer, which makes the 60-minute promise more achievable than it might sound.
Bunnings products listed on the Uber Eats platform at in-store prices, with 60-minute delivery.
A Partnership That’s Been Building
This isn’t a sudden shift in strategy. Bunnings and Uber Eats first partnered in 2024 for same-day parcel deliveries from select metropolitan and regional stores, and the new on-demand offering was trialled at five Bunnings stores in Melbourne before this broader launch.
The 2024 regional Christmas campaign, which covered 63 stores with 2 pm order cutoffs for same-day delivery, laid the groundwork. This latest announcement takes that foundation and scales it into a full-on-demand retail product.
Wesfarmers’ broader digital retail push has been well documented. As Colitco reported previously, the closure of Catch signalled a shift in focus toward integrating digital delivery within existing, profitable store formats rather than maintaining a standalone e-commerce platform. This Uber Eats tie-up reflects exactly that kind of thinking.
For customers who have debated Bunnings’ pricing practices, it’s also worth revisiting whether the app will honour the same price guarantee that applies in-store. Bunnings has confirmed products are listed at in-store prices, though the price match mechanics in an app-based setting remain to be seen in practice.

What Happens Next
A full national rollout across Australia and New Zealand is planned for later in 2026. No specific timeline has been confirmed beyond the initial 15-store launch. Availability can be checked directly through the Uber Eats app.
For trade customers and weekend DIYers alike, the case for skipping the drive and the car park queue is getting harder to ignore.
