Walmart Announces Home Grocery Delivery – Walmart To Go
The Bentonville, Ark., retailer launched a new service in the San Jose, Calif., market on Saturday called Walmart To Go. It allows customers to purchase food, health and beauty products, medicine and other basic household goods online and have them delivered to their doorsteps for fees starting at $5.
I wonder how many meetings and focus groups it took them to come up the name Walmart To Go for a Walmart delivery home delivery service.
Walmart.com on Saturday already contained a section on Walmart To Go that allowed customers to see if they were eligible for delivery service based on their Zip Codes, and offered a voucher for a free trial.
Among the limited selection of products being offered for sale were Tyson grilled chicken breast strips, Horizon organic milk, large golden apples and Sara Lee whole wheat bread.

Maybe you could try to order some CARS. 🙂

For those of us in the northeast, we’ve had this service called Peapod from Stop & Shop for some time now so it’s hardly a new idea. That it took Walmart this long to copy a competitor is surprising.
This might work out good if they will do the site to store for free. You order your groceries online while at work, then just stop at the store on your way home the next day, and walk to the site to store counter, and they will all be sitting there ready for you to take home! No more wasting your time walking up and down the aisles!
Yeah, but do they deliver all the new Cars? Otherwise, who cares? Imagine all the gas that could be saved. Oh wait, there is always Site-to-Store. Too bad they never actually have anything available any of us would want.
I actually got Flik and Flea from WM.com, Site to Store. Years ago of course when they actually listed singles and MM on their site. Those were the days!
Just say NO to Wal-Mart.
