Perhaps the most attractive feature of WFS for customers is the simple, quick process for deliveries and returns. As long as customers spend at least $35 on their order, they receive guaranteed free 2-day shippingโno membership or annual fees required. This guarantee offers an attractive alternative for customers who may order on marketplaces like Amazon without the shipping benefits of paid memberships.
Returns through WFS are easy, tooโthe U.S. is home to 20 Walmart fulfillment centers and 4,700 stores, and 90% of Americans live within 15 minutes of a Walmart store, making returns quick and convenient. Unlike stores like Whole Foods or Kohls, where Amazon customers can return purchases, Walmart holds an unparalleled prevalence in the U.S., with 95% of Americans shopping in a Walmart store or on Walmart.com in 2019.
Brands also have a lot to love about Walmart WFS. For one, itโs low-cost. After you send your items to a Walmart fulfillment center, Walmart stores it within 1-2% of Amazon storage pricing. The fulfillment service also helps preserve your brand integrity by giving brands price control of inventory and avoiding commingling inventory by default, which reduces fraud and mislabeling. Walmartโs practice of storing sellersโ products separately makes it less likely for your brand to be held accountable for another merchantโs defective or damaged products.
