Walmart Ship (WS):
Walmart Ship refers to the ability for sellers to ship products directly to customers using Walmart’s fulfillment network. This service is particularly valuable for merchants who want to leverage Walmart’s logistical expertise and delivery network. Walmart manages storage, packing, and shipping, allowing sellers to focus on product sales while Walmart handles the fulfillment and customer service aspects.
Multi-Location Pickup (MPL):
MPL allows customers to pick up their orders from various Walmart locations, including stores or designated pickup points. This is designed to offer customers more flexibility and convenience when receiving their orders. For sellers, it can help improve the speed and reach of deliveries without relying solely on traditional delivery methods.
Pickup and Local Delivery (PL):
The Pickup and Local Delivery service is tailored to bring products directly to customers’ doorsteps or allow for store pickups, depending on the location and customer preference. This service enhances the last-mile delivery process by providing faster and more localized delivery, improving customer satisfaction with quicker turnarounds and offering additional ways for customers to receive their products.
Overall, WFS (WS, MPL, PL) strengthens Walmart’s e-commerce ecosystem by combining its vast network of stores, advanced technology, and logistics infrastructure to provide sellers with the tools they need to compete in the rapidly growing online marketplace.
