The Uber Eats app is no longer just for getting hot food from local restaurants. Users can now order baby and home products from Bed Bath & Beyond through the app.
More than 120 buybuy Baby and 750 Bed Bath & Beyond stores are participating in the service, allowing customers to order items across the retailer’s product line, including popular items from brands such as Honest, Yumi, Lalo, Little Spoon, as well as everything Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) offers for the home.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer parents and caregivers an easy and convenient way to find everything they need for their families and have it delivered to their doorsteps,” said Raj Beri, Uber’s vice president and global head of grocery and new verticals. “Every parent knows the stress of urgently needing diapers, pacifiers, thermometers and more — and we know that our new baby and kids hub will help to alleviate some of the stress.”
In-stock items are available on-demand. Until Nov. 11, Uber (NYSE: UBER) customers are being offered $20 off an order of $60 or more on Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY and on product lines from Honest, Yumi or Little Spoon.

We are excited to begin this journey with Uber and look forward to having their innovative services market and deliver products from Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy Baby right to customers’ doorsteps.”

In the last 10 years, Baby2Baby has distributed more than 200 million items to children in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, foster care, hospitals and underserved schools.
