Walmart and Instacart deepen their partnership! Launch grocery delivery service in New York!

Walmart is using its stores near New York City to provide grocery delivery services to New York City customers through Instacart, according to foreign media reports. A Walmart spokesperson said that after the pilot in three California markets and Tulsa achieved good results, Walmart decided to deepen its cooperation with Instacart, and Instacart Inc. will provide Walmart grocery delivery services.

Walmart has found that in New York City and other areas with low store coverage, consumers prefer to use the delivery method jointly provided by Walmart and Instacart. Through Instacart, Walmart products, including groceries, household goods and electronics, will be delivered to customers in these areas in a short time.

It is learned that in addition to Instacart, Walmart has also cooperated with some third-party delivery providers such as DoorDash and Skipcart in New York in recent years. In addition, Walmart has been strengthening its same-day delivery service to improve its competitiveness against retail companies such as Amazon and Target: in March of this year, Walmart canceled the delivery service that required a minimum of $35 per order to be delivered, which further boosted consumer purchasing power; last week, Walmart announced that it would also launch the Walmart GoLocal delivery service to deliver goods for other retailers.

According to the latest survey by research firm TABS Analytics, as more shoppers buy food at Walmart, Walmart is currently far ahead of its competitor Amazon in grocery e-commerce. In the second quarter of 2021, Walmart's grocery e-commerce sales increased by 6% year-on-year, and groceries were one of the top categories driving the company's second-quarter revenue growth.
