No yearly fee for 2 day free shipping. Amazons next move?

On Tuesday, Walmart announced a new initiative that will see 2 million frequently ordered things like baby products, cleaning supplies, and some food items enjoy two-day free shipping. And unlike Amazon Prime or Walmart’s previous “Shipping Pass” program, there is no membership fee to enjoy this perk.

What I read on Walmart's site this morning was that you had to spend $35. How is that better than Amazon?

Continue to offer a better costumer service and a broader product availability than Walmart while offering a music and movie streaming service and a Kindle and book library service while not worrying in the least bit about Walmart?

Will buy some toilet paper online now. I don't like buying toilet paper. Makes me feel like everyone thinks I'm holding one in.

Pretty much this.

I don't know about anyone else but it isn't the common purchases I'm having shipped home, it is typically the stuff that is a pain in the arse to buy in the store because of stocking issues.
The common stuff gets bought st the store because I typically need it right now as opposed to two days from now.

No next move needed. Amazon isn't worried about penny pinchers who will fumble around that trash website.

I dont think this is bad. I can ring up $35 with the quickness.

I haven't found Amazon consumer products to be much of a savings. We typically go to Sams 3 or 4 times/yr and it's cheaper getting that stuff that way. I use Amazon like others said for stuff I'd have to go NOLA, BR to find or stuff that I can't get around here at all... english shaving products, specialty hardware, replacement parts, food products from other places, etc. Wal Mart isn't gonna stock all that stuff

I think most of their money comes from Amazon Cloud services

Wally's online shopping and scheduled pick-up is pretty bad-assed...except for the ridiculous "substitutions" they pull...and having to go to Kroger anyway for Boar's Head ham/rb etc.
Can make someone else do a two-hour/ double-cart grocery trip, leaving Ms. 19 plenty of sammich making time.

I wonder what the critical mass point will be for Wal-Mart and/or Amazon to deliver their own items?
Posted on 1/31/17 at 4:26 pm to Golfer
Yep. You know what WMT has that Amazon doesn't?
4600 stores.
40 major DC's.
Another 40+ perishable DC's.
If they can find a way to use each location as a ship point...
