Walmart will expand its 'Delivery Unlimited' service across all of the United States. Walmart has the goal of being able to reach over half of all people in the country by the end of 2019. The program was tested in several cities earlier this year, and the program's expansion is due to positive responses in these cities.
Walmart's Delivery Unlimited service differs from its normal grocery delivery service by offering either a yearly fee of $98, or a monthly fee of $12.95 to access unlimited grocery delivery. The normal delivery service charges $9.99 per delivery. The service allows for cheaper delivery amongst frequent orderers. It also allows Walmart to compete with other food delivery services, as opposed to simply offering in-store grocery shopping.
