Walmart and Postmates Team up to Expand Retailer’s Online Grocery Delivery Program

Postmates to Power Walmart’s Online Grocery Delivery Program in
Charlotte, with More Areas Around the Country to be Added Soon

BENTONVILLE, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walmart and Postmates today announced an agreement to help expand
the retailer’s popular Online Grocery Delivery option to more than
40 percent of U.S. households. Postmates will help power the Walmart’s
Online Grocery Deliveries, beginning today in Charlotte, NC with further
expansion planned in the coming months.

“Customers are busy, they are managing jobs, soccer practice, dance
lessons and social schedules; so we are on a mission to do more than
keep a little extra money in their pockets,” said Mark Ibbotson,
executive vice president, Central Operations, Walmart U.S. “With the
help of Postmates, we’re making grocery shopping even easier by bringing
the everyday low prices of Walmart right to the front door of customers
in Charlotte with more areas to be added soon.”

With the help of Walmart’s personal shoppers and Postmates’s delivery
network, thousands of Charlotte customers will be able to shop for and
have fresh groceries delivered to their doorsteps. Personal shoppers
must complete a three-week training program learning how to select the
freshest produce and the best cuts of meat for Online Grocery customers.

“Both Walmart and Postmates strive to make the lives of our customers
easier,” said Dan Mosher, senior vice president, merchant lead,
Postmates. “With our growing fleet of 160,000 couriers, we are confident
that we’ll be providing Walmart customers with the ultimate convenience.”

Walmart Grocery Delivery brings customers the convenience of shopping
when and where they want for quality, fresh produce, meat, seafood and
bakery items, along with pantry staples, consumables and seasonal
general merchandise. To use delivery, customers in Charlotte place their
orders online at Walmart.com/grocery
or on the existing Walmart
Grocery App, switch to the Delivery tab, and select a delivery
window at checkout. After orders have been picked by Walmart’s personal
shoppers, a member of the Postmates Fleet retrieves the order from a
Walmart store and delivers it right to the customer during their
specified delivery window.

Groceries can be delivered to customers as soon as the same day.
Walmart’s Online Grocery Delivery carries a simple $9.95 fee and a $30
minimum order – no subscription, no price markups. Customers can get
their first order delivered for free with promo code FRESHCAR with a $50
minimum order.

The retailer also offers an Online Grocery Pickup service that allows
customers to order their groceries online and pick them up in stores
without ever getting out of their cars. The service, which has become a
customer favorite and touted as a “Grocery Hero” for moms on the go and
time-strapped families, is now available in 1,200 stores, nearly 20 in
Charlotte, with 1,000 more to be added this year.
