Customers are using Express delivery in a pinch
… now they no longer need to meet a minimum to get the items they
need in a hurry
Walmart is making it easier for customers to get the items they
want at the lightning-fast speed they may need them. Beginning
today, the retailer is removing the $35 minimum order requirement
for Express delivery.
Express delivery allows customers to order items from Walmart’s
food, consumables and general merchandise assortment such as
produce, pantry staples, everyday essentials, toys and electronics.
It relies on the retailer’s team of 170,000 trained personal
shoppers who pick customers’ orders. Like Walmart’s pickup and
delivery service, there is no markup on items – an item is priced
the same as it is on the shelf. Express delivery costs $10 on top
of the existing delivery charge. Walmart+ members simply pay the
$10 Express fee.
“Many customers use Express delivery for when they’re in a
pinch, whether it be a missing ingredient for a weeknight dinner or
a pack of diapers,” said Tom Ward, senior vice president of
customer product. “Customers told us sometimes the items they
needed in a hurry didn’t meet the minimum, so we’re removing it,
making it even easier for customers to get what they need when they
need it.”
Express delivery is currently offered in nearly 3,000 Walmart
stores, reaching nearly 70% of the U.S. population. It is one of
several no-contact pickup and delivery options. The below options
continue to carry a $35 minimum:
- Pickup: Free curbside pickup that lets customers reserve
the time and pickup location that’s most convenient for them.
- Delivery: Orders from our store to a customer’s door
with a per delivery fee of $7.95 or $9.95.
- Free Delivery with Walmart+: Delivery as soon as same
day – and other benefits – for a $98 annual or $12.95 monthly
fee.
To get started, customers can go to walmart.com/grocery or the
Walmart app and search their ZIP code to see if Express delivery is
offered in their area.
