Costco does not have warehouses in three states, including Rhode Island, West Virginia and Wyoming, according to the company’s website.

Costco members can open the Uber Eats app, search for Costco, select their nearest location, add items to their cart, add their Costco membership account at checkout, choose on-demand or scheduled delivery, and track their order in real time as it is shopped and delivered to their door, the release said.
At select stores, Uber One members are charged no fees on eligible grocery and retail orders over $60, per the release.
Uber President and Chief Operating Officer Andrew Macdonald said in the release that the expanded partnership gives Costco members more ways to shop, brings the retailer’s selection and value to more consumers, and demonstrates “the scale and opportunity Uber can bring to retailers looking to meet more of consumers’ everyday shopping needs.”
Uber Eats announced in July that it continued its expansion into deliveries of goods beyond meals by forming partnerships with gaming retailer GameStop and three footwear, apparel and accessories retail brands affiliated with Foot Locker.
In addition to 47 U.S. states, Costco is available on Uber Eats in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, France and Spain, according to the Wednesday press release.
PYMNTS reported in May 2024 that after testing its partnership with Uber in Texas, Costco expanded the Uber Eats offering to 17 U.S. states and Canada during the quarter ended May 12, 2024, and was preparing to extend it to several other countries.
“We were testing Uber for some time in Texas,” Gary Millerchip, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Costco, said at the time during an earnings call. “We had the tests going on there, and we did see a new cohort of members’ engagement that are on the Uber platform.”
