(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/13\/23304106\/doordash-deliveries-facebook-marketplace-purchases-meta-partnership<\/a> You may soon have the option to have your Facebook Marketplace purchases picked up and delivered by DoorDash. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, Facebook\u2019s parent company, Meta, is partnering with DoorDash to deliver Marketplace items located up to 15 miles away.<\/p>\n Not every item is eligible for delivery, though. Sources tell the WSJ<\/em> that DoorDash will only deliver items that are small enough to fit in the trunk of a car, and that drivers are expected to make deliveries within 48 hours. Either way, it sounds like a helpful option for anyone who isn\u2019t able to pick up an item themselves. <\/p>\n It also fills a gap in Facebook Marketplace\u2019s existing local delivery options, which only lets you get larger items delivered through a service called Dolly<\/a>. The service is limited to a little over two dozen cities throughout the US, and lets you connect with one or two local \u201chelpers\u201d that will load bulky items \u2014 like a refrigerator, bookshelf, or air conditioner \u2014 into a pickup truck and deliver them to your house for a fee. Aside from Dolly and DoorDash, Meta also lets Marketplace sellers ship items directly to a buyer\u2019s address.<\/p>\n It\u2019s still not exactly clear how many Marketplace users currently have the option for DoorDash deliveries, or how much it costs. Both Meta and DoorDash confirmed the initiative to the WSJ<\/em>, and say they\u2019ve already been testing it in several cities in the US. When reached for comment, DoorDash spokesperson Ali Musa declined to share any further information, and Meta didn\u2019t immediately respond.<\/p>\n The partnership comes just months after DoorDash CEO Tony Xu joined Meta\u2019s board of directors<\/a>, and has reportedly been in discussion since 2021. Over the past few years, DoorDash has been broadening its delivery service to include items other than takeout orders, as it also delivers groceries<\/a>, alcohol<\/a>, personalized gifts<\/a>, prescriptions<\/a>, and even COVID-19 test kits<\/a>. Last year, the company inked a deal with Dollar General<\/a> to offer same-day delivery, and is also looking to expand its service to Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
