What happened?
Walmart has launched a WI first-mile “door-to-door” pickup service that supports pickup of less-than-container-load cargo in Shenzhen for direct delivery to official warehouses. Operationally, late shipment rate (≤5%) has been formally added to performance assessments, and the delivery-time requirement for the Walmart+ badge has been tightened to two-day delivery.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Optimize inventory planning, shipping, and fulfillment processes to meet delivery targets and avoid account restrictions or loss of the Walmart+ badge due to poor performance.
