DoorDash, Staples Canada unite for speedy nationwide back-to-school deliveries

DoorDash Canada and Staples Canada are set to redefine back-to-school shopping by offering on-demand delivery of thousands of school and office essentials. This timely partnership ensures students, whether they’re stepping into elementary school or college, can now conveniently order their entire supply list and have it delivered to their doorsteps the same day. Notably, DashPass subscribers will enjoy a waived delivery fee on qualifying orders.

Shilpa Arora, DoorDash Canada’s General Manager, expressed the company’s pride in this initiative, emphasizing how this collaboration aims to make the seasonal school shopping hassle-free and efficient. “This partnership is our commitment to ensuring families maximize their summer fun without the usual back-to-school shopping rush. Think of DoorDash as your direct channel for all school necessities,” she remarked.

The partnership expands DoorDash users’ reach to over 290 Staples outlets across the nation, granting them access to an impressive roster of 38,000+ essential school items via the DoorDash app. This alliance between DoorDash and Staples promises more than just convenience; it offers parents, educators, and students precious time, allowing them to relish the concluding summer moments rather than getting bogged down with shopping.

Andrew Go, Staples Canada’s Chief Digital and Data Officer, shed light on Staples’ customer-centric approach, stating, “Our collaboration with DoorDash exemplifies our dedication to enhancing customer experiences by providing them with ample choices, unmatched convenience, and value, particularly as the back-to-school season nears its climax.”

To herald the commencement of the 2023 academic year, DoorDash has unveiled a tempting offer: a hefty 30% discount on school supply purchases over $25, valid until August 30 with select retailers. Additionally, DashPass, DoorDash’s premium subscription service introduced in 2018, offers its vast user base of 15 million global subscribers zero delivery fees on eligible orders from a myriad of stores. This subscription, continually evolving, not only ensures delivery perks but also bestows exclusive member-only advantages and rewards.
