Walmart In Home Grocery Delivery

it really could throw Amazon for a loop once it becomes wide spread! Unless Amazon has a rabbit in its hat.

Amazon offers the same thing. They also offer services where they'll put grocers in your car trunk or garage using smart locks. LINK

The one advantage Walmart might have in this is using their own employees instead of a lot of the outsourcing Amazon does.

I tried Walmart+, which was supposed to include grocery delivery. I've tried to use it several times and have never been able to get an available delivery time. It's always booked solid, 7 days out.

Walmart is a joke. Every manager needs firing, and so do 99% of the employees. They are a disgrace.

Wont argue some of these points but those scanners where you scan your own groceries are awesome. No more angry cashiers to deal with

It's probably been 4 or 5 months since the last time that I tried.

Fred Meyer through instacart seems to work pretty well, other than having to substitute so many items. Getting a delivery has never been a problem, though.

Does anyone live where this is being tested or tried it yet?

The killer feature is free unlimited times

It's really not, you have to tip your doordash driver which adds up fast. They have 2 neighborhood markets running with walmart vans/drivers that don't require a tip. But i'm a few miles out of their delivery zone.

I knew grocery delivery existed, but this is wild to me. They can come inside and deliver on their own? Let us know if you try it.

rumination yep it is wild!

I would never use it though. Good news is they say you can still have at the door delivery by a Walmart employee!

Hopefully they bring better bags for the groceries.

Wait for it but guess what other feature is wild.

Free returns from your house by them picking it up!

Walmart wanted to do this in the early 2000's... the plan floated was using employees on their way home from work to deliver groceries on their way home. They also wanted full buggy check out implemented by I THINK 2008. They had the technology just the tags were expensive and they had supplier push back.

My son works for Walmart, we get Walmart plus free as a benefit. Even free it annoys me. At least i get the $.05 off gas.

I have gotten deliveries from people just in their cars (I don't know if it's Doordash based) but I have also gotten deliveries from Walmart trucks themselves I think.

So each Walmart is different in the delivery services they offer. They have their own version of door dash drivers that are independent just like a door dash driver. They use door dash and just about all the delivery services. The way they get your no tip order is to bundle it with someone who actually tipped to try to get it delivered without having to up the pay for the order. If they can't bundle it and screw a driver then they may add a couple bucks to the delivery. Door dash and Walmart don't pay nearly enough when you can just go grab passengers on Uber and lyft and make $30+ an hour no matter the day or time (well except Sundays). You can make $50+hr if you are willing to work Friday and Saturday nights. Doordash base pay is $2.50/delivery and they rely on tips. That is how you get idiots delivering your walmart order for no tip.
