The article says "Earlier this year, Reuters reported the retailer’s delivery partnerships with Uber and Lyft ended after the ride-hailing services struggled to deliver people and packages together." So sounds like they tried it already and may have had logistical issues.

That sounds like they were trying to do deliveries and ride hails at the same time, and would struggle to get the deliveries done because they were getting interrupted by the hails (or had horrible hail rates because deliveries took them out of the hot zones).

It may have worked much better if they didn't comingle the jobs, and had dedicated horus for deliveries separate from giving rides.
