Deliveroo has struck an exclusive partnership with Ryman, marking the first time a national stationer has joined the delivery platform.
The tie-up will see 185 Ryman stores added to Deliveroo, giving customers access to more than 4,000 stationery, office, technology and gifting products for delivery.
The launch comes ahead of exam season, when demand for stationery typically rises. Deliveroo said stationery orders on its platform increased by almost 40 per cent in 2025 compared with the previous year, while demand rose more than 30 per cent during last year’s UK exam season.
Customers will be able to order products including highlighters, office supplies, printer ink, technology accessories and last-minute gifts, with delivery available in as little as 25 minutes.
The partnership will be supported by both Deliveroo Shopping and Deliveroo Express, the company’s white-label delivery service.
Deliveroo Express will allow customers to place orders directly through Ryman’s website or app at checkout, using Deliveroo’s logistics technology and rider network to complete deliveries.
Deliveroo said the move marks another milestone in the expansion of its Shopping division, as it looks to grow beyond food delivery and capture more on-demand retail categories.
Deliveroo vice president of new verticals Suzy McClintock said: “The addition of a household name like Ryman is a testament to the massive momentum behind Deliveroo Shopping.
“We aren’t just adding more choice, we are responding to a fundamental shift in consumer behaviour.
“With stationery orders up 40 per cent in the last year, this partnership ensures we are meeting that demand head-on, proving that Deliveroo is the essential partner for retailers looking to unlock digital growth and omnichannel scale.”
Ryman chairman and owner Theo Paphitis said: “For over 130 years, Ryman has been a staple of the British high street, trusted for our expertly curated range of stationery and office supplies.
“We’re now delighted to partner with Deliveroo to bring over 4,000 stationery, tech, and gifting essentials, plus print services, directly to our customers’ doors in as little as 25 minutes.
“From ink cartridge emergencies to eleventh-hour school projects and saving the day with urgent birthday presents for last-minute Lucy or Larrys, this partnership will help to keep homes and offices running smoothly.”
Ryman joins a growing list of retailers using Deliveroo Shopping, which launched in November 2023.
The platform already includes The Entertainer, The Perfume Shop, HURR and Accessorize, as Deliveroo continues to expand its rapid delivery offer across non-food retail.
