Retailer adds to Walmart+ list of benefits
already delivering for customers, helping them shop when and how
they want
Beginning Dec. 4, Walmart is expanding the benefit list of
Walmart+. Just in time for the holiday, Walmart is removing the $35
shipping minimum for Walmart.com orders for its members. This new
benefit paired with Walmart+’s free unlimited deliveries of
groceries and more from Walmart stores makes the retailer’s
membership program even more comprehensive.
“It feels like a life hack is needed now more than ever and
Walmart+ is here to help,” said Janey Whiteside, chief customer
officer, Walmart. “No other membership allows customers across the
country to get everything from gingerbread cookies and eggnog to
holiday decorations and toys delivered for free as soon as the same
day. Walmart+ is designed to make life easier – giving customers an
option to not have to sacrifice on cost or convenience.”
Walmart+ members will receive free next-day and two-day shipping
on items shipped by Walmart no matter the basket total. Prices on
items will remain the same, true to Walmart’s every day low price
promise. Delivery from Walmart stores on items like groceries will
still carry a $35 minimum.
This latest perk comes two months after the launch of Walmart+,
and builds on the retailer’s promise to continue adding benefits to
its membership program. Free shipping with no minimum joins a
benefit list that includes unlimited free grocery deliveries, fuel
discounts and the ability to use Scan and Go in stores, which lets
customers shop and checkout with their phone.
“Customers have been clear – they want this benefit. Being able
to toss an item into your cart, regardless the total, and checkout
right away lets them knock little things off their to do list in no
time,” added Whiteside.
The retailer is also expanding the number of locations where
members can use their fuel savings, to include Sam’s Club fuel
stations across the country. That means customers now have access
to fuel discounts at more than 2,000 Walmart, Murphy USA and Murphy
Express fuel stations, as well as access to Sam’s Club member
pricing at more than 500 Sam’s Club locations.
Walmart+ uses the company’s unique assets to make life easier
for busy families. Along with the power of its online presence,
Walmart+ has the reach of more than 4,700 stores, including 2,800
stores that offer delivery, reaching 70 percent of America.
Walmart+ costs $98 a year or $12.95 a month and includes a 15-day
free trial period.
