In a bid to outdo current shipping and delivery giant Amazon, this summer Wal-Mart is launching a test drive into the realm of unlimited shipping service for customers.
Amazon charges a subscription fee of $99 per year for its Prime service guaranteeing a two-day delivery of unlimited goodies. Wal-Mart’s beta service, available only through invite at the moment, will charge a mere $50 per year with a three-day delivery promise.
In addition to availability being limited to exclusive invite-only users right now, the service will also only be offered in areas limited to a certain geographical local. No further details regarding delivery radius were shared by Wal-Mart.
With this offer, subscribers will be able to shop through a million of the company’s bestselling items. At the moment, Wal-Mart, unlike Amazon, does not offer or plan to offer free audio and video streaming.
