Walmart and Amazon have been upping the ante on each other in their bids to offer the fastest deliveries. Here's why Walmart might win:
Getting in a shipping war with e-commerce behemoth Amazon is generally seen as a fool’s game. But Walmart is the one retailer who actually might be able to win that war.
Neither side shows any sign of backing down – and from the jabs on their Twitter accounts, it is clear this fight is personal.for Prime member deliveries. Walmart today said it is ready to roll out next-day delivery in three states and will be able to offer it to 75% of U.S. consumers by the end of this year.
Something to remember in the shipping wars is most of the time consumers don’t need that purchase next day. But it is nice to know fast shipping is available when you need it. If retailers, whether they are Amazon, Walmart or Target, convince you they are the fastest option with the most products available, you are more likely to try their website first. And the first site you go to is most likely where you will buy.
