The cherished Saturday morning ritual of dashing to Bunnings for a sausage sizzle might soon become a memory for many Australians.
In a groundbreaking shift that is set to revolutionize how Aussies handle urgent DIY projects, backyard gatherings, and even tradesperson visits, Bunnings has partnered with Uber Eats.
This new collaboration allows customers to have everything from small hardware items like nuts and bolts to large purchases such as lawn mowers delivered right to their doorstep in under an hour.
For the first time, more than 30,000 Bunnings products will be accessible via the Uber Eats app throughout Australia and New Zealand, establishing the most extensive retail selection available on the platform.
Both companies have assured that the prices on Uber Eats will be identical to those in Bunnings stores.
From power washers and packing boxes to pet food, mops, folding chairs and garden supplies, the iconic warehouse chain is effectively bringing the aisles to your phone – whether you’re at home, on a worksite or mid-project meltdown.
The rollout will begin in stages, launching first across 15 locations nationwide following what the companies described as a ‘successful pilot’ across five Melbourne stores in late January 2026, which reportedly saw strong demand from both retail shoppers and trade customers.
Bunnings Chief Operating Officer Ryan Baker said the expansion builds on the retailer’s evolving delivery strategy.
In a move set to transform the way Australians tackle last-minute DIY disasters, backyard BBQs and even tradie call-outs, Bunnings has officially launched on Uber Eats
‘We’re excited to expand our partnership with Uber to offer customers another convenient way to shop a wide range of products from Bunnings, delivered directly to their home or worksite via the Uber Eats app,’ he said.
‘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.’
In 2024, Bunnings and Uber first teamed up to offer same-day parcel delivery from select metropolitan and regional stores.
This latest move, however, signals a far deeper integration, placing the hardware heavyweight alongside your Friday night takeaway.
Uber Eats APAC’s Regional General Manager of Retail, Lucas Groeneveld, described the collaboration as a natural next step for the platform’s rapid retail expansion.
‘We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with Bunnings, one of Australia and New Zealand’s most iconic brands, to offer a huge range of everyday home essentials through the Uber Eats app,’ he said.
‘From last-minute DIY fixes and garden projects, to preparing for a BBQ or keeping a work site moving, this partnership makes it easier than ever for customers to get what they need, delivered on demand, whatever the occasion.’

While Uber Eats originally built its name in food delivery, it has steadily diversified in recent years, adding groceries and retail partners including Petbarn, Officeworks and EB Games to its digital shelves.
Service and delivery fees will apply to Bunnings orders placed via Uber Eats.
However, Uber One members can access a $0 delivery fee on eligible orders over a minimum spend in Australia – and in New Zealand once the service goes live there.
More stores are expected to join the platform progressively, with a broader expansion slated across Australia and New Zealand following the initial staged launch.
For die-hard fans of wandering the cavernous aisles, sampling tools and grabbing a snag on the way out, nothing will quite replace the in-store ritual.
But for those moments when you realise you’re missing a crucial screw mid-assembly – or your lawn mower gives up 10 minutes before guests arrive – this could be the game-changer Australians didn’t know they needed.
