Talking point: Recode reported in February the company was originally planning to launch the service late March or April, but delayed it due to the pandemic. While Walmart has grown its e-commerce business, reporting online sales growth of 37 per cent in 2019, it continues to lag behind Amazon, which counts over 150 million members for its US$119 per year Prime service. Walmart’s online sales surged 74 per cent in the first quarter this year, partially due to pandemic-driven demand for online purchases.
