The service allows shoppers to place an order through the Walmart app and have it ready for curbside collection in as little as one hour. “Place an order in the Walmart app, and it can be ready for curbside pickup in as soon as one hour,” the company shared in its announcement of the new feature. Unlike some competing services, Walmart is offering Express Pickup at no additional cost, making it a free option for all eligible customers at participating locations. The rollout begins at 500 stores and is set to expand nationwide in the coming weeks, with the timeline specifically designed to align with Thanksgiving meal shopping. Not every order will qualify for the one-hour window, as availability depends on eligible items, participating store locations, inventory levels, and overall store capacity.
