Walmart is expanding its 30-minutes-or-less delivery service despite higher fulfillment fees, attracted by strong customer demand for rapid delivery.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Retail Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to rethink delivery speed as a core competitive edge because Walmart's 30-minute delivery is proving profitable despite added fees. Start testing faster fulfilment options or risk losing customers who now expect near-instant service.
