Can you deliver a Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift couples' costume to my house via Uber?

A new partnership with Spirit Halloween has been announced, allowing for on-demand delivery of Halloween costumes, decor, and spooky items via Uber Eats, Postmates, and the Uber app.

Beryl Sanders, director of Uber's U.S. grocery and retail partnerships, stated in a press release that as a working mom, she understands the importance of having a last-minute face paint or mask for school parades and trick-or-treating, and she is excited that Uber will be able to meet this demand.

Uber has added all Spirit Halloween stores to its delivery apps, and this season, the retailer plans to open a record 1,525 locations across North America, up roughly 1.3% from the 1,506 opened in 2023.

Spirit Halloween's products will be available at the same prices as their brick-and-mortar locations, according to the release. Uber already partners with other holiday-oriented retailers like Michael's and Party City to expand their consumer base beyond restaurant takeout delivery.

In the US, the Halloween shopping season is typically one of the largest consumer spending events and is predicted to reach $11.6 billion this year, as stated by the National Retail Federation.

Spirit Halloween did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
