This week we are offering a limited quantity of items through Friday, and after that Pop will go on hiatus until the Fall. We’ll take this time to fine tune and update the service, so expect an even better Pop to return in a few months.

In the meantime, make sure to check out Postmates Plus and Plus Unlimited —the most affordable Postmates offering the best your city has to offer.

On June 29, we’re delivering free NERVE virtual reality viewers in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles starting at 2pm.*

Here’s how it works:

1.      Download the NERVE app.

2.      Open your Postmates app and look for the NERVE VR store to order a virtual reality viewer. The viewer and delivery are free!

3.      Once you have your viewer, open the NERVE app, insert your phone in the viewer and choose WATCHER or PLAYER. As a PLAYER, you’ll put yourself inside crazy first-person VR stunts—like walking across a ladder suspended over a New York alley. Choose WATCHER, and you’ll get to see what other players around the world have already dared to do. More dares for are being added all the time, so keep checking back.

This is a limited time offer, while supplies last, and orders are limited to one per person.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with ChowNow, one of the leading online ordering and marketing platforms for restaurants. Starting today, thousands of restaurants on the ChowNow platform will be able to provide on-demand delivery via the Postmates API. The Postmates API enables merchants to have access to our fleet of over 25,000 Postmates in 40 US markets.

The Postmates/ChowNow integration means that when customers order through restaurants who use the ChowNow platform, they will be given the option at checkout to choose on-demand delivery from Postmates. Customers now have the widest possible delivery options, and merchants can expand their reach and grow their business.

Throwing a pool party? Let us deliver the ice cream and floaties. Relaxing at the beach and ran out of sunscreen? We’ll bring it. The possibilities are limitless (and delicious!), just make sure you snap a photo of the fun, tag it, and post it to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for a chance to win.

Until the end of June, every time you refer a friend to Postmates, we’ll give you a $10 delivery fee credit after they complete an order. And the good times don’t stop there—on July 1st, we’ll give you an additional $10. That’s $20 total for every friend you refer! Also, your friend gets $10 to spend on their first Postmates order.

Sharing your code (and burritos) is easy: In the app, tap the clock icon in the top left corner, tap the gear icon, and then choose “Invite Friends” from the menu to find your referral code. Give your code to as many friends as you want and when they sign up for Postmates, they should enter the code when prompted. That’s it!

Now the only question is, what are you going to order?

We’re  giving away signed Jason Aldean vinyl records, and one person will win the Grand Prize: A guitar signed by Dustin Lynch!

Entering is easy: When you place an order between now and 6/12, enter code BBRMUS and you’ll be entered to win.

“When I was a kid, my mom went out of her way to make every holiday special. On St. Patrick's Day she got up early to paint little green footprints all over the kitchen so my brother and I would think a leprechaun visited at night.”

“Since my mom discovered emojis, she can't stop texting me love notes :)”

At Postmates we love our moms because they’re always doing things—big and small—to show us they care, and these are just a few real life examples.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, the perfect time to let your mom (or any mom in your life!) know you appreciate everything she does, and Postmates is here to help you send your love. We’ll deliver anything, from anywhere, 24/7, so whatever makes your mom smile is just minutes away.

Of course, you can always keep it classic with flowers. That’s why this Mother’s Day we’re partnering with The Bouqs to bring moms nationwide country fresh bouquets in minutes all day Saturday and Sunday, for just a $3.99 delivery fee.*

If your mom lives in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, Seattle or the Bay Area —it’s easy to send her a bundle of gorgeous flowers. Just find The Bouqs store in the app, pick your favorite bouquet, and send your mom some love. Remember, you don’t have to live in the same place to use Postmates to deliver to someone in another city—just enter the address you want to ship to.

(And call your mom, already.)
