This is still only on orders over $35.
Walmart still does not realize what Bezo's has done with Prime. He has made it the default option and incentivized users to check there first by removing all the friction.
Having these weird caveats and no 'membership' (which again, makes users think of Prime first) is going to keep Walmart behind for a long while.
- objektif 7y agoWalmart did realize what AMZN did with prime membership. But they probably also realized their customer base wont pay for another membership.
- lintroller 7y agoThey already have a bulk retail subscription with Sams Club. A membership that includes access to both the retail store and one-day walmart.com shipping could be attractive.
- dfrage 7y agoPossible evidence they could be thinking about this: a few minutes ago I filled out a survey of their's about my last Walmart.com purchase, and one of the questions asked was if I, or an immediate family member had a Sam's Club membership.
- SolaceQuantum 7y agoPrime has weird caveats also, though. eg. small objects like personal grooming supplies, snacks, etc. are much more expensive if they're offered through Prime at all. (Most are offered through 'prime pantry' which forces you to buy at least 25$ worth of stuff).
