Coles has embarked on a grocery home delivery trial with Uber to help it with its grocery home deliveries.
The UberEATS service enables the food service industry to make use of its driver fleet for home delivery, and it celebrated its first birthday in Sydney recently at The Grounds of Alexandria.
The Coles trial, which started in early August, and will run until September out of Coles' online only "dark store" in Richmond South accoding to a Fairfax Media report.
The Uber drivers will reportedly make same-day deliveries of items that were missing from online orders or which need to be replaced.
Coles said the trial was "short and limited" and an Uber spokesperson said there were "no current plans for a broader roll-out or extension of the trial".
