Walmart’s free service, called NextDay, requires an order of at least $35. The one-day service is now operating in select cities but will be most places soon.

With next-day service already in Phoenix and Las Vegas, Walmart says Southern California will be going online “within days.” “It will roll out gradually over the coming months, with a plan to reach approximately 75% of the U.S. population this year, which includes 40 of the top 50 major U.S. metro areas,” wrote Marc Lore, Walmart eCommerce U.S. president and CE, in his blog.
