Amazon's retail problem is that it is failing the customer by using 3rd party sellers.
And in places where Walmart+ or Target circle are available I bet they are losing sales. I actually prefer Walmart+ and Target now.. but I am only N=1. I may do the whole foods delivery when it becomes available though so that would bring me back in to the Amazon fold.
- jlund-molfese 2y agoWalmart+ InHome in particular is a great experience compared to Amazon Fresh. You can get regular Walmart+ deliveries for $98/year, but for another $40/year, you get unlimited deliveries by a Walmart employee who doesn't accept tips and makes sure they're delivering to the right address. My only worry is that Walmart might be subsidizing the service, because as a customer I'm paying less and I'm happier compared to the gig worker version.
- The-Bus 2y agoWalmart also uses 3rd Party Sellers; I don't believe Target does. There's enough commentary about false/bootleg products on Amazon that it's no longer my primary destination for any purchases I need delivered.
- theGnuMe 2y agoThey do but they are easier to avoid buying from. It's usually the same folks crossed listed across amazon, walmart, target, ebay etc...
- avnfish 2y agoAmazon 1st party is and continues to be a loss leader. If they got rid of their 3rd party sellers tomorrow, the company would go bankrupt from the loss of B2B commission, fulfilment and ads revenue
