BENTONVILLE - Retailgigant Walmart is testing a delivery service using its own store employees, who will deliver packages ordered online while driving home from their regular work shifts. The service is being tested at two stores in New Jersey and one in Arkansas
The 'associate delivery program would use Walmart’s 4,700 U.S. stores and about 1.2 million employees to speed delivery and cut costs, the company said.
Walmart has stores within 10 miles of 90 percent of the U.S. population, the company says.
“Now imagine all the routes our associates drive to and from work and the houses they pass along the way,” Marc Lore, CEO of Walmart’s U.S. online operations, wrote on the company website.
