Tom Ward, chief e-commerce officer for Walmart U.S., said he wants to make it easy for customers to shop however they choose. To do that, Walmart is using its thousands of stores to increase delivery speeds and decrease company costs.Ward said his vision for the business is straightforward: to grow online sales while making it easy for customers to shop however they choose.
"It might arrive in a handful of hours after they bought it online, as opposed to a couple of days later," he said. "So it's a transformational experience in terms of speed, which is really hard to replicate without that fantastic footprint that we have." Walmart will soon start packing and sending third-party sellers' goods from stores, which will make deliveries faster and more cost effective, according to Buckley-Cox. She didn't specify a timeline for that service, but said it's coming in the "near future."
The retailer had two apps — one dedicated to online grocery shopping and another for general merchandise, from socks to camping chairs. Last summer, it merged the two together into a single app.
Ordered toothpaste, mouthwash, hand soap, etc. this morning. Order was originally set for 48 hour free delivery. Arrived 2 hours after placing order!! Impressive!!

doorstep is fine thank you goodbye
No thanks
What could possibly go wrong?
Why does cnbc still exist? It must be super depressing working there
Ummm, no thanks
When I walk into people’s homes I get shot!!! No thanks!!!
The driver should be retired already
employees walk into customers’ homes and put food directly into the fridge or on the kitchen counter ! BAD IDEA. jeopardizes all involved parties' safety.
'trust' hell no
Oh boy, fire whoever thought this up……unless they will do my laundry and cook dinner also.
Until Walmart can simplify returns, especially for 3rd party sellers, I won't be using their service... I don't return much, but when I do I want it to be simple. They failed me twice and I'm not looking to strike out by trying again.
Walmart needs to grow up and accept Apple Pay
50 forks Making his Major League debut today, 34 for the New York Mets: Kodai Senga. Slide right bye...bases loaded)
I love shoplifting there.
Guess you’re ready for the nursing home with this service.
That’s a good idea. But until they cook the shit, clean up and put the dishes away, then they’ll be the 1
Nah I’m straight!
Their UI could be better.
これは怖い。 玄関までで十分😆
Who wants this?
Forget it!
Nope
They cant even stop peeps from stealing their shit. Biggest ghetto store in world
I would like walmart ceo to deliver dog food in my dog's mouth himself. Apply tissue paper on my runny nose. Etc.etc
No.
Easy prediction time: This won't work. 🤣
Bring me back my bags
Nice
No thanks. Will employees be forced to do background checks?
You have got to be kidding? People are literally trusting a retailer to do such extensive background and mental health investigations of these people coming into their home and staying long enough to put groceries away that it is safe? This is a tragedy in the making.
No. No. No. no. No
If the employee has to take no. 2, is he/she allowed to use the customer's restroom?
All the grocery stores in Argentina did this in 2010 when I lived there. No extra charge. Just standard. Unimpressed as usual, Walmart.
WONDERFUL WALMART
Hell no!
Wiltshire Farm Foods do that 😋 😋
No way. Fk that. Walmart is hiring ANYONE to fill these roles. Imagine a pill addict looking through your kitchen. Nope. No fkn way.
Oh hell no!!
Give the Seahawks more draft picks and maybe I'll consider it
I am cool with that. Can they let my dog out to poop?
Good luck
Walmart has a long ways to go.
I, THEE VICTORIOUS MOTHER QUEEN VALERIE JOHNSON, WILL GET “THE CHRISTIAN PARTY” on the 2024 Election 🗳 Ballot. I WON’T RUN FOR PRESIDENT, BUT AS “MOTHER QUEEN OF THE U.S.” The word “America” will be DROPPED… AMERICA is the most demonic spirit EVER representing US and Democracy.
By the looks and the rudeness of Walmart employees in the stores, there is no way that they are entering my home. Likely, they will leave with more than they bring in.
Hahhah. Next step... they put food in their mouths?
Great move! Next the robots will do it lol
Hell no.
No one of them tried to r***my daughter
Sad thing is that I guarantee you those chest cams are more advanced than the ones issued to police. Also, I'd feel much more comfortable letting a Walmart employee into my house too. They actually respect property and would be held accountable when they don't.
They don't deliver out where I live anyway. So... nope.
Unless a customer is infirm, why would anyone need/want a stranger delivering groceries to come in her/his home and put them away? How would the driver even know where exactly to put each item in each person's home?
I prefer to put my own groceries away, thank you.
I've been getting is seconds from Walmart
That’s not going to happen, Walmart. 😖
Some elderly could sure use this.
No thank you! I may have health issues, but I will do my own shopping and I will put up my own groceries.
Walmart is the worst online service-delivery on the planet. Amazon sucks too.
No.
Yeah that’s freaking weird
They've messed up my pick up order not once, not twice, but 3 times and canceled a shipment after leaving me at 'delayed' for almost a week. The lack of fast return/refund. Sure, I truth them enough to come into my home an load up the fridge.... 🙃😒
Can Amazon do this?
by '2040' 😂😂 what a joke
These type of people will not survive any kind of crisis.
Lol Walmart pays their employees bare min and will hire anyone that's not a good combination making them wear a body camera doesn't make it better.
Nah. Error. Please leave it at the door .
😬😬 👎🏼
Never under-estimate Walmart
From one monopoly to another.
StacyHargreaves 👀
I, with the Holy Spirit, leave the Church of God is Love to teach the salvation of tithing food And as Daniel Berg left the Baptist Church and Charles Russel left the Methodist and Ellen White and Francescon left the Presbyterian
Lazy society
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING SEVICE👍
Walmart clearly supports giving ex felons employment. To their credit they probably hire less child predators than the public schools
Boundaries anyone?
good idea but I see that more for someone who's having some form of event and doesn't have time to shop, not really something you'd use all the time unless you had someone that would be there when they come .( just my opinion)
What a horrible thought! Who guarantees the safety of the Walmart employee? And the customer? And nobody wants a stranger messing around in the refrigerator and cupboards putting things in the wrong places.
No thanks
Good luck meating those killer pitbulls
Nope
Absolutely not!
Never.
We went from “don’t talk to strangers” to letting strangers pick you up for rides, to strangers coming in your house to put Your groceries away
consumer trust plus quality and price, drives sales.
WalmartInc I can make that easier for you. You need some Orange in that Sun. I have a plan to put that there within a couple years. We can accelerate that. Easy.
What could go wrong.
2001 : e-commerce will be a privacy nightmare. 2022 : pleade enter my house when I am not there and open my fridge
Walmart needs to quit using the USPS. They are always losing my packages or delivering to other homes.
And I have to check my own groceries out. No employees working in the store. So, I work at Walmart now with no pay, no benefits and your business model of putting groceries away in online customers refrigerators.
Damn, even the delivery guy is now a senior citizen? Not just the Walmart greeter? Why isn't this guy enjoying his retirement? SeniorCitizens walmartgreeter SocialSecurity
Would be interested to see research showing some sort of wider adoption of this? Seems pretty small niche …
Need to do this with packages too. Better security of packages delivered. Community box, or local post office, or putting in secure area in backyars. Something
Nope. Not in my house people coming in
I wonder how often you get the same person every time. It’s an interesting business idea.
No, thank you. I don't want random people coming into my home.
Ewwwww no thanks
While you are now their cashier when shopping. Free labor.
Amazon is great because they get stuff here half a second after I thought about it. They don’t have the audacity to actually come in my house.
Why is it when I go to I seem to find every seller but Walmart?
No gd way!
Is there a panic button Incase Walmart guy tries to rape me. Or what about the Dahmer's getting deliveries to their dungeons
Wow.
Nice set up for future b&e
Jus what I want some random guy shuffling thru my frig an cupboards
Everyone saying Nah to this will be the biggest consumers of this service in under 2 years. 😂
muzzled slave
old slave
indiryo
Walmart delivery through fedex sent me an empty box instead of a Apple Watch and without an ounce of shame denied mistake Walmart FedEx Imagine trusting these thieves with the house… absolute scumbags
That sounds horrific
No thank you!
Uh, I don’t think so!
Ehh!!
They outsource all their deliveries and have had several stolen orders that were never delivered or missing items. Would never let them in my home.
Nah at the door bucko lol 😂
🤔 no thanks. I’ll pass on this one.
When has anybody ever said 'it'd be great to have a stranger put food into my refrigerator' f that
I prefer Walmart to amazon. Why? Walmart’s cardboard boxes are stronger and better-made. We reuse them for any variety of tasks, saves us extra costs in buying them
that’s akin to making humanity lazier, one Walmart InHome service a day!
No effing way.
This would be the last thing I would want. lol
Nope 👎
Lol. Nah, I'm cool
Ya'll love buying cheap ass shit it's pathetic
Spend 5 minutes trying to buy something on Walmart web and you'll be screaming in frustration and disappointment.
Long ways for Walmart to catch up with Amazon on the e-commerce front.
Ligma balls
At least they're getting electric vans too
Homein services may be good for dependent people.
OMG. Can they also do the laundry, fold it and put it away too. This could be a game-changer. Why has no one invented an app for laundry service?
Home Depot want to enhance your experience. Let the local contractor come to your home, look for problems. You won't have to do anything. Just pay a small monthly fee
Uhhh NO, definitely NOT. walmart
Yeah, no.
I'll stick with their store pickup.
Walmart is cheap garbage. I wish they'd fuck off and go under.
Can't see that going bad quickly.
My God how lazy have we become ,next thing you know they’ll have to cook the food for them
Great stuff any chance these minimum wage plebs can make my meals and clean up the house while there at it? Oh yes the dog shit needs picking up in the garden as well.
bad idea 😁
No mask in my house I want to see your face!!!
Walmart is gonna have more body cameras than most police forces
No no no no no… Hell no. This will not end well.
What could go wrong?
Why don’t you just F my wife since you’re here
Worst idea ever. Who is at the wheel over there Walmart cause you’re fired
Saves time!
Nope. Stay out of my fridge please
No way too risky .. employee could place drugs into your food items.. can’t be trusted
LOL why?
Not. Gangs are running stores.
Will they cook it up for me, too?
I’m not sure Walmart customers are going to want this service!!
Not in my home. Not now not ever!!!
What could possibly go wrong.
Um not on your life.
