Walmart increases the stakes in the retail shipping wars with Amazon
A box of merchandise is unloaded from a truck and sent along a conveyor belt at a Walmart Supercenter in Houston in 2018.
Walmart Inc., the nation’s largest retailer, said Tuesday that it has been building a network of more efficient e-commerce distribution centers to make that happen. The next-day service will cover 220,000 popular items including diapers, nonperishable food items, toys and electronics. That’s nearly double the number of items it carries in its stores.Next-day delivery, which requires a minimum order of $35, became available in Phoenix and Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The move will increase pressure on other rivals that are already investing millions of dollars to shorten the delivery window. Two years ago, Walmart began offering free two-day shipping on millions of items on its website for orders of at least $35. Target also offers free two-day shipping for those who spend at least $35 or use its RedCard loyalty card. Walmart has also been expanding same-day grocery delivery service from its stores for a fee of about $10.
