Walmart announces plans to offer it’s own fulfillment service to third party sellers

[whohit]Walmart announces plans to offer it’s own fulfillment service to third party sellers[/whohit]Walmart is launching a new service that allows third-party vendors to hire the retailer to store, pack and ship items directly to their mutual customers, a move that could help them compete against Amazon’s FBA.

Through Walmart Fulfillment Services, third-party vendors that sell merchandise in Walmart.com’s marketplace can pay to have the company handle the logistics of getting items to a customer’s door. They currently have to use a third-party to handle fulfillment or do it themselves.

Walmart said in an email that it will begin to roll out the new service by the end of February 2020.

Both sellers and customers will benefit from the new service. Customers will have more brands to choose from, faster shipping and easier returns. The company did not say how much it will charge third-party vendors.

The Seller Union team is delighted to learn the news and see a different retailer compete with Amazon’s FBA. Hopefully, this will lead to improved conditions and decreased FBA fees.
