MONTRÉAL, Dec. 21, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Today, Canadian fashion retailer Groupe Dynamite Inc. announced the launch of an exciting new partnership with Uber, offering same-day delivery in Montréal. First national retailer in Canada to offer this service, Groupe Dynamite Inc. is proud to offer customers of its two brands, Garage and Dynamite, a convenient and timely delivery solution during this busy holiday season.
"Groupe Dynamite's partnership with Uber is the perfect way to deliver holiday cheer this December," says Liz Edmiston, President and Chief Executive Officer, Groupe Dynamite Inc. "To be the first fashion retailer in Canada to offer same-day shipping with Uber is monumental for our company and demonstrates our commitment to providing customers with exceptional service.
As online orders surge this holiday season, Uber joins Groupe Dynamite Inc. in their effort to offer stress-free and convenient shopping options to Montréal customers who are looking to bypass standard holiday shipping schedules and delays. Fans of the company's brands, Garage and Dynamite, can now shop their favourite holiday looks, accessories and gifts, and have their order brought right to their front door within hours of ordering.
Providing Montréal customers with an innovative solution to last-minute gifting this holiday season is the first step in a much longer game, as Groupe Dynamite Inc. intends to work with the ride-share company to expand the service to more areas across Canada in 2021.
"We are proud to launch this new delivery product in Québec with Groupe Dynamite, a company founded here in Montréal," declared Jonathan Hamel, Public Affairs Manager for Uber in Québec. "Uber Direct makes it easier for merchants who want to offer same-day delivery to their clients. The delivery standards keep rising and we are pleased to partner with Groupe Dynamite to accelerate their delivery standards."
How It Works
Uber same-day delivery will be available to eligible customers at checkout on the Garage and Dynamite e-commerce websites. To be eligible, orders must be placed before 3 p.m. ET and all items ordered must be available at Groupe Dynamite Inc.'s distribution centre. The service area includes shipping addresses within a 15 km radius of the distribution centre. Customers who opt for same-day service will receive an SMS link to track their delivery on an Uber-hosted WebView—no app necessary!
