Honestly not sure.
Walmart is still 2x the size of Amazon in terms of revenue, and like Bezos said in his congressional briefing, it's easier and cheaper to build and online platform than it is to build out Walmart's existing physical retail presence.
- chrisco255 6y agoReally, then why are there plausible competitors for Wal-Mart (Target, Costco, etc) but no other Amazons for general purpose online shopping?
- andromeduck 6y agoWhat is Shopify, Instacart, Walmart and the thousand other businesses you can buy from directly.
- chrisco255 6y agoIf you want to find a thing to purchase online, you know almost certainly that Amazon will have it. This is not the case with any other e-commerce site. No one has the breadth of products that Amazon has. No one comes close. Yes, I can buy things on walmart.com that are commonly carried in Walmart, but they only have a tiny fraction of the overall selection of Amazon. It's not even a contest.
- huffmsa 6y agoI can order online from all of those stores, and get it faster than if I ordered from Amazon because they all have better last mile infrastructure. Walmart supports 3rd parties as well I think.
