Walmart Teams up with Point Pickup, Skipcart,
AxleHire and Roadie to expand Grocery Delivery
Walmart today announced the addition of four delivery companies
to its team to help expand the retailer’s popular Online Grocery
Delivery option. Point Pickup, Skipcart, AxleHire and Roadie will
help power Walmart’s Online Grocery Delivery in metro areas across
four states with further expansion planned in the coming weeks.
Today, Walmart Grocery Delivery is available in more than 800
stores with another 800 being adding this year.
“Customers love our Grocery Delivery service. As they are busy
managing jobs, soccer practice, dance lessons and social schedules
we are on a mission to do more than keep a little extra money in
their pockets,” said Tom Ward, senior vice president of Digital
Operations, Walmart U.S. “With the help of these new delivery
partners, we’re making grocery shopping even easier by bringing the
everyday low prices of Walmart right to the front door of
customers.”
With the help of Walmart’s personal shoppers and the delivery
networks of these four companies, along with other key partners,
thousands of customers will be able to shop for and have fresh
groceries delivered to their doorsteps. Personal shoppers must
complete a three-week training program learning how to select the
freshest produce and the best cuts of meat for Online Grocery
customers.
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 seasonal general merchandise. To use delivery, customers place
their orders online at Walmart.com/grocery or on the existing
Walmart Grocery App, switch to the Delivery tab, and select a
delivery window at checkout. After orders have been picked by
Walmart’s personal shoppers, a member of the delivery partner’s
team retrieves the order from a Walmart store and delivers it right
to the customer during their specified delivery window.
Groceries can be delivered to customers as soon as the same day.
Walmart’s Online Grocery Delivery carries a simple fee structure
and a $30 minimum order - no subscription, no price markups.
Customers can get their first order delivered for free with promo
code FRESHCAR with a $50 minimum order. Walmart currently offers
Grocery Delivery in more than 100 metro areas. The retailer will
make grocery deliveries to more than 300 metro areas by the end of
this year.
The retailer also offers an Online Grocery Pickup service that
allows customers to order their groceries online and pick them up
in stores without ever getting out of their cars. The service,
which has become a customer favorite and touted as a “Grocery Hero”
for moms on the go and time-strapped families, is now available in
2,100 stores with 1,000 more to be added this year.
