The new service could be helpful if you need to get items in a hurry while respecting shelter-in-place orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll be able to use Express Delivery for more 160,000 items, including &ldquo;groceries, everyday essentials, toys and electronics,&rdquo; Walmart says. Express Delivery will cost $10 in addition to the regular charge for delivery unless you&rsquo;re a member of the company&rsquo;s Delivery Unlimited subscription service, in which case you&rsquo;ll just pay $10 for Express Delivery.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>(Similar to Amazon Prime, Delivery Unlimited costs $98 annually or $12.95 per month.)<\/p>\n<div>\n<aside><q>Walmart says it has been piloting Express Delivery in 100 stores since mid-April<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>Walmart says it has been piloting Express Delivery in 100 stores since mid-April. The company plans to expand it to nearly 1,000 stores in early May and make it available to nearly 2,000 total stores &ldquo;in the following weeks.&rdquo; If Express Delivery is available in your area, you&rsquo;ll be able to select the option when you check out online, though you&rsquo;ll need to have at least $30 worth of items in your shopping cart to be able to select any kind of delivery.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We know our customers&rsquo; lives have changed during this pandemic, and so has the way they shop,&rdquo; Janey Whiteside, Walmart&rsquo;s chief customer officer, said in a statement. &ldquo;We also know when we come out of this, customers will be busier than ever, and sometimes that will call for needing supplies in a hurry. COVID-19 has prompted us to launch Express Delivery even faster so that we&rsquo;re here for our customers today and in the future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Walmart&rsquo;s Express Delivery option could help the retailer compete with rival Amazon, which has offered two-hour delivery for Amazon Prime members for years through its Amazon Prime Now service. Prime Now&nbsp;launched in 2014&nbsp;and is available in select markets in the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/4\/30\/21243557\/walmart-express-delivery-two-hour-groceries-electronics\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/4\/30\/21243557\/walmart-express-delivery-two-hour-groceries-electronics<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Jay Peters<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/artificial-intelligence-newswire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Artificial Intelligence Newswire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Jay Peters<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walmart store Walmart is launching a new delivery service, called Express Delivery, that will get purchased items to a customers&rsquo; home in less than two hours, the company&nbsp;announced on Thursday.
