Uber Eats has a fix for pesky returns. You can just sit on the couch

An Uber Eats courier is seen in Krakow, Poland, on Aug. 21, 2025.

Returning packages is a pain. Uber says it can fix that.

Uber Eats announced a returns feature on Friday that lets customers do it all from the phone, and a courier will pick up and return the items purchased from retailers on the app for a fee.

"A first for the on-demand delivery industry, customers will now be able to send back eligible retail items purchased on Uber Eats and receive an instant refund," the announcement said.

The launch will apply to retailers on Uber Eats, including Best Buy , Dick's Sporting Goods and Petco . Refunds are processed when the courier picks up the returned item, which must cost at least $20.

To avoid the courier fee, which is calculated by the driver's time and distance, customers can still return items themselves.
