Uber Eats, DoorDash, and other delivery services have made it possible to order food and have it delivered in a few minutes. For most other stuff, however, you need to wait at least one or two days, or potentially even more, for a shipment to come to your door. If you want to buy tech, and you want it fast, DoorDash is now partnering with Best Buy to bring it to you.
If you need to buy a laptop, a smartphone, or basically any kind of gadget, but you don’t want to wait more than a day (and you don’t really feel like going into your closest Best Buy), the new DoorDash partnership will allow DoorDash delivery drivers to pick up Best Buy orders and bring it to users' doorsteps just like they usually bring food. The process is basically the same as food: just fire up the DoorDash app, look for Best Buy, and choose the item (or items) you want delivered. Once that’s done, just finish ordering whatever’s on your cart and wait for a driver to bring it to you within the next few minutes.
Best Buy shipments can take anywhere between three to five days to come to your doorstep if you buy online, and if you happen to have a Best Buy store nearby, there’s no need to wait longer than it would take you to actually come into the store, pick up your product, and take it home.
Best Buy is the first electronics retailer to come to DoorDash, and the delivery app is looking toexpand beyond just food delivery. This is a huge step in that direction and will bring Best Buy users the option to have their stuff delivered on the same day they buy it, just by using the existing network of DoorDash drivers that are already delivering food. Best Buy will also be eligible for DashPass' $0 delivery fee option, essentially making this a free, same-day shipping option. You should still remember to tip your driver, though—they’re working really hard.
The feature is now rolling out to users, so ensure to keep an eye out for Best Buy showing up in your app if you want to buy some tech.
