Shares of Target Corp. (TGT) and Walmart Inc. (WMT) dipped the day after Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) announced that its Prime members would be getting free one-day delivery on most Amazon products.

Target shares were down 5.5%, to $77.21, and Walmart shares were down 2%, to $101.17, in midmorning trading. The big-box retailers had been starting to catch up with Amazon's two-day shipping promise.

Amazon said Thursday the $800 million move to one-day shipping would add more products and zip codes throughout the world, but the company didn't say when the policy would be implemented.
