Walmart Expands Next-Day Delivery for Marketplace Orders in Major US Cities

Walmart is accelerating its e-commerce growth by expanding next-day delivery for third-party marketplace orders in major U.S. cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Atlanta. This initiative targets some of the most popular items on its platform initially, with plans to broaden the service to additional locations. Walmart is also enhancing its marketplace by introducing AI-powered tools and seller incentives, including reduced referral fees on select categories, to help sellers grow and compete more effectively. The company aims to meet rising consumer expectations for faster shipping and strengthen its position against Amazon, particularly in online grocery and marketplace sales. Walmart’s fulfillment service, which supports third-party sellers through its network of warehouses, plays a key role in this strategy, contributing to the company’s broader goal of increasing profitability and expanding its digital business. These efforts reflect Walmart's commitment to integrating omnichannel retail options and improving operational efficiency to drive continued revenue growth.
