Postmates Unlimited Grows 300%: Lowers Order Minimum for Unlimited Memberships

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- After a year of unprecedented growth that included doubling membership to its monthly subscription service, Postmates, the creator of on-demand 'anything', is dropping the minimum order size nationwide from $20 to $15 for Unlimited.

Unlimited is a monthly subscription service that lets members enjoy free delivery from more than 300,000 merchants including Chipotle, Shake Shack, Tender Greens and more. At just $7.99 a month when paid annually, Unlimited is the most affordable way to get anything delivered in under an hour and save $200 in delivery fees each year. The membership pays for itself with just two orders each month. 

"Since we launched Unlimited in 2016, it has been highly successful, growing 300% year over year," said Kristin Schaefer, senior vice president of Strategy & Finance, Postmates. "Unlimited has become a way of life. In 2018 alone, the number of Unlimited members has doubled. Nearly 1 in 3 orders on Postmates are coming from our members and in some of our key markets, nearly 1 in 2 orders come from Unlimited members."

With Unlimited, members have access to free delivery from an unlimited selection that includes thousands of restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacy store chains, bakeries, personal care and beauty stores and more. They also enjoy:

• Exclusive access to some of the hottest events like secret shows, festival lounges and more
• Blitz free pricing (no surge fees)
• No small cart fee

While subscription services like Unlimited help people across 1 in 2 households in the U.S. connect with their favorite brands and restaurants, on-demand technologies have also helped create an alternative infrastructure for local businesses to better compete in the era of e-Commerce, growing sales for local brick & mortar retailers by 4X in 2017. Postmates now completes millions of deliveries a month, generates over a billion dollars in gross merchandise volume annually and in LA and other major Southwest markets has achieved #1 market share.

"The more than 300,000 merchants and 240,000 Postmates on our platform are seeing the benefit of more orders and higher spend from Unlimited members, who spend over twice as much annually compared to non-members. On average, Unlimited members spend 50% more than the average Amazon Prime subscriber -- this increase in spend across multiple categories drives meaningful growth for our merchants and fleet," added Schaefer.
