Walmart is introducing a new on-demand home
delivery service in Richmond.
Following a 17-store
pilot in the Greater Toronto Area and Winnipeg, the company in
partnership with Instacart is now offering deliveries in as fast as an hour
from nearly 200 stores across the country including 31 in B.C.
Customers can download the Instacart app or
visit instacart.ca to find their
local Walmart Supercentre and place their order.
Instacart personal shoppers will shop on the
customer’s behalf for Walmart’s fresh selection of groceries, including fresh
fruits and vegetables, Canadian beef, pork, chicken and a variety of seafood,
dairy, baked goods, deli, frozen foods, as well as health and beauty products,
household supplies, pet food, baby food, diapers, and much more.
Items selected will then be delivered
directly to customers’ doors in as fast as an hour or at a later date and time
that’s convenient for them.
This solution is part of a suite of services
including grocery pickup and home delivery offered by Walmart to help its
customers shop where, when and how they want.
"Canadian families are busy. By
introducing more online shopping options at Walmart, we're helping make life
easier and more convenient for them," said Lee Tappenden, president and
CEO of Walmart Canada.
"Instacart is proud to have grown its
partnership with Walmart Canada to help make it even easier for valued
customers to get the groceries and household essentials they need quickly and
easily," said Nilam Ganenthiran, Instacart's chief business officer.
For a limited time, first-time customers of
Walmart Canada and Instacart can enter the code WMTCOAST2COAST at checkout for
$10 off their first order of $35 or more.
