The garage continues to gain popularity as
the delivery location of choice for
today's savvy online shoppers
OAK
BROOK, Ill., Aug. 25,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Walmart is joining forces with
myQ® smart garage technology to expand in-garage delivery through
Walmart+ InHome. Millions of homeowners who already use the myQ app
to monitor, control and secure their garage door, and Walmart+
InHome members, will soon be able to have their Walmart groceries
and household essentials conveniently delivered to their garage.
InHome associates will also be able to pick up returns within the
garage, eliminating the hassle of returns for customers.
"The goal of Walmart+ InHome is to give our members convenience
and choice and, over the last few years, we've discovered our
in-garage delivery option is a popular choice among members," said
Whitney Pegden, VP and GM, InHome.
"We're really excited for myQ smart garage technology to help us
reach more customers with a more seamless in-garage
experience."
When it comes to smart garage technology, myQ has a stronghold
on the market with one in five households already equipped with a
myQ smart garage door opener. myQ can be found in LiftMaster® and
Chamberlain® smart garage door opener brands or can be easily
integrated with other leading brands of garage door openers with a
myQ Smart Garage Control device.
As online shoppers continue to demand better delivery solutions
that are safe, convenient and flexible, the nation's largest
retailers, like Walmart, are leveraging myQ to make it even easier
for customers to use delivery services like Walmart+ InHome and
take advantage of the benefits of in-garage delivery.
"With over 210 million packages having vanished from porches
across the US last year, many consumers feel the need to schedule
their day around deliveries to ensure they get their packages and
groceries," said Kiel Fitzgerald,
Senior Director of Delivery Services for Chamberlain Group, a
global leader in access control solutions with its Chamberlain and
LiftMaster garage door opener brands and myQ technology. "In-Garage
Delivery puts the customer in control with no need to schedule the
day around deliveries – rain or shine, packages and groceries will
stay safe inside the garage until someone is free to get them."
With the Walmart+ InHome delivery service, customers will be
able to purchase groceries, household essentials and other items
from the Walmart app, and have the option of having them delivered
into the garage. Full-time, tenured Walmart associates will be
assigned to the delivery, providing a trusted and familiar face for
every order. On delivery day they will get one-time access
to the garage via a myQ connected device. They'll put away the
order in the garage (and – if available – the garage fridge,)
sanitize any surface they touched, plus even pick up any returns.
Once the delivery is complete, they will close the garage door to
ensure the home and packages are secure.
Simple setup.
"If you're not sure you have a myQ smart garage door opener,
look up to see if there is a myQ logo and a WiFi logo, or it says
"powered by myQ" on your garage opener," added Fitzgerald. "Then
download the myQ app and follow the steps to connect your opener(s)
to the myQ app."
No myQ? No problem. When you subscribe to Walmart+ InHome and
choose myQ as your default delivery method, you will be offered a
FREE technology upgrade to make your existing garage door opener
compatible.
In addition to turning the garage into a preferred package and
grocery delivery location, myQ provides homeowners with the ability
to secure, control and monitor the garage on their smartphone
through the myQ app. myQ helps enhance the security of the garage
and home with real-time alerts that let homeowners know if they
left the garage door open. It also provides a safer way to share
access to the home. Homeowners can easily let who they want in
through the myQ app or share access through the Guest Access
feature within the app – no need to share keys or codes.
