"Case in point: Walmart told Business Insider exclusively that its shoppers will be able to place store-fulfilled express delivery orders as late as 5 p.m. local time on Christmas Eve - a full hour later than last year. "More people are using Express Delivery to get their items faster, and December is when it truly shines," Walmart's chief e-commerce officer David Guggina said in a statement."
"The retail giant can now reach 95% of US households in three hours or less, and the company has said that more than a third of shoppers opt to pay extra for one-hour-or-less delivery. Those express delivery numbers jump by 2.5X in December compared with the year's average, the company said. The company also told Business Insider that it recently rolled out a new "Get it Now" option in the Walmart app, which shows shoppers an estimated number of minutes to receive an item,"
