Uber teams up with Kalahari

Uber is partnering with Kalahari.com to make Christmas shopping easier for Capetonians this festive season.

From 18 to 24 December, between 10am and 4pm daily, Uber riders will be able to do their Christmas shopping through the Uber app by simply requesting an UberSleigh – a van full of Kalahari’s products that will come right to their door.

The products in each of the three vans will be divided into four sections: For Him, For Her, For the Kids (girl, boy and both) and Generic (gender neutral). All items will be under R1,000.

Within these categories Kalahari will pick the best-selling product lines for fashion, beauty, books, music, movies, appliances, gaming, tools, sports and outdoor. Products will vary based on stock when the truck is packed each morning, but Kalahari will stick to these categories and will ensure to always include the top-selling products.

The three vans will be kitted out with a festive Christmas design and the drivers will be dressed like Father Christmas.

There is no need for cash. Once you have selected your products, all payments will be done through the Uber app and you will receive a payment receipt via email.
