Best Buy Partners with Instacart for Same-Day Delivery Across the Entire US
Electronics retailer Best Buy and on-demand delivery platform Instacart announced a partnership that will see Instacart power same-day delivery of Best Buy in every state in the US, covering nearly every Best Buy location throughout the country.
