Retailer Brings Grocery Delivery Membership
Program to Millions of Customers Across Nearly 200 Markets
Walmart has plans to expand the reach of Delivery Unlimited – a
Grocery Delivery membership option for customers – to 1,400 stores
later this fall. The program gives customers the option to pay a
yearly $98 fee or a monthly $12.95 fee to receive unlimited Walmart
Grocery Delivery orders. Customers will continue to have the option
to pay a per-delivery fee, without a membership.
“Grocery Delivery takes convenience to a new level, and our
customers love it. With Delivery Unlimited, we’re providing
incredible value for our customers and leveraging our unique assets
to save them both time and money,” said Janey Whiteside, chief
customer officer, Walmart.
The retailer began piloting Delivery Unlimited in four markets –
Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City and Tampa – earlier this year. Based
on the positive response of customers, Walmart is expanding the
program to all 200 metro areas where Grocery Delivery is available
today. As the company continues to expand its Grocery Delivery
service, Delivery Unlimited will expand. The service will be
available in more than 1,600 stores and more than 50 percent of the
country by the end of the year. The membership comes with a free
fifteen-day trial.
Walmart Grocery Delivery brings customers the convenience of
shopping when and where they want for quality, fresh produce, meat,
seafood and bakery items, along with pantry staples, consumables
and select general merchandise. Customers place their orders online
at Walmart.com/grocery or on the existing Walmart Grocery app, and
unlike other services, they find the same every day low prices on
items that they do in stores, no premium, no hidden cost.
“We’ve been investing in our online grocery business by quickly
expanding our Grocery Pickup and Delivery services. Delivery
Unlimited is the next step in that journey,” said Tom Ward, senior
vice president, Digital Operations, Walmart U.S. “By pairing our
size and scale and these services we’re making Walmart the easiest
place for to shop. Combine that with the value we can provide, our
customers can’t lose.”
With the help of Walmart’s personal shoppers and various
delivery services, the retailer is able to shop for and deliver
fresh groceries to the doorsteps of millions of Americans. The
company employs more than 45,000 personal shoppers that power this
program. These associates must complete a three week training
program learning how to select the freshest produce and the best
cuts of meat for Online Grocery customers.
Grocery Delivery builds on Walmart’s Grocery Pickup service that
allows customers to order their groceries online and pickup them up
in stores without ever getting out of their cars. Grocery Pickup is
available in nearly 3,000 stores.
