Ride-sharing company Uber has partnered with Kalahari.com, allowing Cape Town-based shoppers to tap into a promotional delivery service this festive season.

According to Uber, customers will be able to request an "UberSleigh" a van full of Kalahari's best-selling products that will deliver to shoppers' doorsteps. The promotion will run from 18 to 24 December, between 10am and 4pm daily.

"The products in each of the three vans will be divided into four sections; for him, for her, for the kids and generic (gender neutral). All items will be under R1 000," Uber said in a statement.

Within the categories, Kalahari will pick the best-selling product lines for fashion, beauty, books, music, movies, appliances, gaming, tools, sports and outdoor. Products will vary based on stock when the truck is packed each morning, but Kalahari will stick to these categories and will ensure to always include the top-selling products.

How it works

Uber said users can order through the following steps:

* New users must sign up for Uber using the new user code UberSleighSA.

* Open the Uber app between 10am and 4pm from 18 December to 24 December to order your UberSleigh.

* You will see an icon called UberSleigh (only in Cape Town).

* Toggle over the UberSleigh option.

* Request a car and an UberSleigh will be on its way to you with the top-selling products from Kalahari.

The company added, once customers have selected products, all payments will be made through the Uber app and receipts sent via e-mail. "If, for some reason, you don't find anything you like, there will be a secret Santa pack, so you still walk away feeling the Christmas spirit".
