As part of an “early” partnership, DoorDash is currently conducting deliveries for the Facebook Marketplace. Couriers would deliver items that are sufficiently small to fit in a vehicle trunk and originate from vendors up to 15 miles away, and they should finish their dropoffs within 48 hours.

To attract clients, the feature is now free. How Facebook and DoorDash would ultimately bill clients is unclear. In recent months, businesses have tested the concept in several US cities. Meta has discovered that Facebook Marketplace is one of the only tools that young people use when they aren’t hopping to TikTok. DoorDash may help increase demand, especially among younger consumers.

The partnership might lessen DoorDash’s reliance on restaurant orders. For years, the business has been delivering food and other necessities from convenience stores. This might help DoorDash compete with Uber Eats’ statewide shipping service and provide a more consistent source of cash for the company.
