Walmart InHome delivery service now available in more than 50 American markets covering over 45 million homes
Walmart is expanding its InHome delivery service to an additional ten million US households, including those in California.
This will also be available to customers in Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis and Philadelphia, bringing the total scale of InHome to more than 50 markets covering over 45 million homes.
“The expansion of InHome comes at the perfect time for families in San Bernardino who are embarking on the busy summer season and are looking for faster, more convenient ways to complete those everyday chores,” says Haley McShane, General Manager of InHome, Walmart U.S.
“We understand that customers are busy and want to make sure that they can have a seamless shopping experience that fits their needs.”
Walmart launched InHome delivery in 2019. Here’s how it works:
To place an order for InHome delivery, customers shop Walmart.com or the Walmart app for items eligible for store delivery and select the delivery window that’s most convenient for them.
An InHome associate completes the delivery to the customer’s preferred location. If it’s to the interior of the home, the associate will use a one time access code to unlock the customer’s door or garage.
A wearable camera is on the associates’ vest, recording the entire delivery, which customers have access to from their phones for up to a week after each delivery.
InHome is available as an add-on to Walmart+ membership for $12.95 per month or $98 per year programme. Customers who are already members of Walmart+ can now add unlimited fee free and tip free InHome delivery for an extra $7 per month or $40 per year.
Walmart+ members have access to various digital and in-store benefits like unlimited free deliveries, fuel and travel discounts, access to free pet telehealth visits through Pawp, early access to promotions and events, and Paramount+ streaming.
