Uber announced Friday it’s partnering with Spirit Halloween to deliver Halloween costumes, decor, and other seasonal accessories to consumers on demand via Uber Eats, Postmates, and the Uber app.

“As a working mom I know how crucial that last-minute face paint or mask can be on the morning of the school parade or the hour before trick-or-treating starts, and I’m thrilled we’ll be able to meet that demand at Uber,” said Beryl Sanders, director of Uber’s U.S. grocery and retail partnerships, in a press release,

Several other retailers that focus on holiday products — including Big Lots, Michaels, Lowe’s, and Party City — have also partnered with Uber to deliver their wares to consumers on demand as the tech company seeks to expand its reach beyond ride-shares and food delivery.

According to the press release, Spirit Halloween products delivered via Uber will cost the same as in brick-and-mortar locations, and some customers are eligible for no-fee delivery.

Spirit Halloween is poised to open a record 1,525 locations in North America this year, a 1.3% increase over last year. The National Retail Federation estimates consumer spending on Halloween products will hit $11.6 billion in 2024.

Uber has experimented with robot deliveries in international markets, but they are only available in a handful of U.S. cities.
