InHome
Walmart's infrastructure of over 3,000 stores makes it possible to deliver groceries directly to your home. It has been testing the service for six-months in New Jersey. Walmart knows how much trust it takes to let a stranger into your home, so it has invested heavily in security measures. But there are still skeptics, so a few things should be clear before you sign up. The company intends to increase the service's reach to one million households in three major cities by this fall.
Order groceries online
If you've ever ordered groceries from Walmart you may have noticed that you can also pick them up in-store. Pickup today can be done while you're at work or on your lunch break. Pickup today allows you to browse through the products and pick the ones that suit your needs the best. Even better, you can also get a discount if you choose to pick them up in-store instead of online. It's the best combination of both.
Contact-free delivery
In recent years, retailers have added a new feature to their grocery delivery services to make the process easier. The Contact-free Walmart home grocery delivery option lets customers order groceries right from their smartphones or even refrigerators. Customers can choose a time when they want their groceries delivered, such as between noon and 6 pm. The delivery company, which is partnered with HomeValet, provides temperature-controlled smart coolers for customers to place outside their homes.
Prices
Pre-ordering your groceries can help you save money. Walmart offers pickup and delivery for an additional charge, but online shopping can often save you more. Walmart will also deliver the groceries directly to your doorstep, making it less stressful to order. Walmart's Home Groce Delivery Service is a great way save money, no matter if you're running behind for an appointment or just want your kids to be home.
Product availability
Walmart announced Wednesday that its InHome service would soon be available to 30 million households. This service will let its employees enter a customer's home with proprietary cameras to bring their groceries straight to the door. If the customer isn't home, they can even collect returns. This kind of service was once a pipe dream. But with so many people frantically looking for groceries, InHome has become a reality for many.
