Postmates was one of the largest on-demand delivery brands in the United States, helping customers order restaurant meals, groceries, and other local goods through an app-based delivery marketplace. The company became especially well known in dense urban markets before being acquired by Uber.
Quick Answer (2026): Postmates is no longer reported as a standalone public company after Uber completed its acquisition in December 2020. Before the merger, Postmates said it worked with 600,000 merchants, operated in 4,200 cities, and had a delivery fleet of 500,000 members.
Postmates key statistics
| Metric | Figure | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Customers | 10 million | 2021 estimate |
| Merchants | 600,000 | 2020 |
| Cities | 4,200 | 2020 |
| Fleet members | 500,000 | 2020 |

| Uber acquisition price | $2.65 billion | 2020 |
Is Postmates still a standalone company?
No. Uber completed its acquisition of Postmates in late 2020. That means most of the freshest operating figures are now rolled into Uber’s delivery business rather than published separately under the Postmates brand.
How big was Postmates before the Uber deal?
Before the acquisition, Postmates published several scale indicators that still help show how large the platform became in the U.S. delivery market:
- 600,000 merchants (2020)
- 4,200 cities (2020)
- 500,000 fleet members (2020)
- 70% of U.S. households reached (2019 claim)
Postmates customers and delivery activity
A widely cited 2021 estimate put Postmates at 10 million customers. Older company reporting also indicated that Postmates was averaging about 5 million deliveries per month in 2019.
Because Postmates stopped reporting independently after the Uber merger, newer figures are much harder to verify on a brand-specific basis.
Postmates funding, valuation, and sale
| Metric | Figure | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Total funding raised | $670 million | 2019 |
| Estimated valuation | $1.85 billion | 2019 |
| Uber acquisition price | $2.65 billion | 2020 |
Postmates revenue and gross sales
Older reports pegged Postmates revenue at around $135 million in 2016 and around $250 million in 2017, with reported gross sales of about $900 million in 2017. Some 2018 numbers in circulation were projections rather than finalized audited results, so they should be treated more cautiously.
Why Postmates statistics are harder to update now
Postmates remains a recognizable consumer brand, but it is no longer a separately reported public company. That changes the kind of statistics that are realistically verifiable in 2026. Historical operating stats still matter, but current standalone brand disclosures are limited.
