Walmart, as Marc Lore, head of the retailer’s U.S. e-commerce operations, has noted, has a “maniacal focus” on its customers and “finding ways to offer them low prices — every day.” For shoppers on walmart.com, that focus means being able to find prices that are increasingly in line with Amazon.com.
Earlier this year, Walmart added another benefit for price-conscious shoppers by offering discounts on items ordered online and picked up in stores. The “Pickup Discount” is typically between three and five percent.
