- Walmart announced it is expanding the reach of Delivery Unlimited to more than 1,400 stores later this fall
Walmart has announced that it is expanding the reach of Delivery Unlimited — which is a Grocery Delivery membership option for customers — to more than 1,400 stores later this fall. And this program is known for giving customers the option to pay an annual $98 fee or a monthly $12.95 fee to receive unlimited Walmart Grocery Delivery orders. And customers will continue to have the option to pay a per-delivery fee without a membership.
“Grocery Delivery takes convenience to a new level, and our customers love it. With Delivery Unlimited, we’re providing incredible value for our customers and leveraging our unique assets to save them both time and money,” said Walmart chief customer officer Janey Whiteside.
Prior to this announcement, Walmart was piloting Delivery Unlimited in 4 markets including Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City, and Tampa. And based on the positive response from customers, Walmart is expanding the program to all 200 metro areas where Grocery Delivery is available today.
As Walmart continues expanding its Grocery Delivery service, Delivery Unlimited will expand. And the service will be available in more than 1,600 stores and more than 50% of the country by the end of the year. This membership comes with a free 15-day trial.
With Walmart Grocery Delivery, customers can place their orders for fresh produce, meat, seafood, and bakery items online from Walmart.com/grocery or on the existing Walmart Grocery app.
“We’ve been investing in our online grocery business by quickly expanding our Grocery Pickup and Delivery services. Delivery Unlimited is the next step in that journey,” added Tom Ward, the senior vice president of digital operations at Walmart U.S. “By pairing our size and scale and these services we’re making Walmart the easiest place for to shop. Combine that with the value we can provide, our customers can’t lose.”
Currently, Walmart employs more than 45,000 personal shoppers that power this program. And these associates must complete a three-week training program learning how to select the freshest produce and the best cuts of meat for Online Grocery customers.
