Uber is adding another service to its ride-hailing app: package returns. The company announced a new feature<\/ins><\/a> \u2014 dubbed \u2018Return a Package\u2019 \u2014\u00a0where customers can have a courier pick up their packages and have them dropped off at a local post office, UPS or FedEx. It will only be available for parcels that are sealed and prepaid, however.
Using this tool, you can track your package’s movement in real-time in the Uber app and confirm when a drop-off is completed. This feature will have a flat rate fee of $5, or $3 for Uber One members<\/ins><\/a>. \u2018Return a Package\u2019 will be available starting today in the Uber and Uber Eats apps in nearly 5,000 cities throughout the United States.<\/p>\n

This new service is similar to Uber’s existing Connect feature<\/ins><\/a>, which allows users to ship goods<\/ins><\/a> to and from friends and family \u2014 the difference here is that the receiver will be another service worker instead. However, Return a Package is by no means breaking new ground. DoorDash has been offering a similar service<\/ins><\/a> since January of this year. The new offering comes ahead of the busy holiday season<\/ins><\/a>, when lots of online shoppers buy and return items.<\/p>\n
