Dive Brief:

• Uber, the app-enabled ride service that is disrupting the cabbie business, is increasingly getting into the delivery services game. It is now testing a drugstore delivery service in Washington, DC.

• The company is testing what it is calling “Uber Corner Store,” whereby customers can request deliveries of health and beauty products from nearby drugstore retailers. The service uses its own “Uber Corner Store” app, separate from the Uber taxi service app.

• The company has already offered a variety of delivery services in select areas.

Dive Insight:

Uber is giving many taxi companies fits with its popular and ever-expanding app-enabled driver services. Now Uber is increasingly testing out delivery services, something the company says only makes sense. Because delivery services are less settled than taxi services have been, this venture may be more complicated. But it makes the same-day delivery game that much more interesting.
