Walmart’s 2025 Same-Day Delivery Expansion: What It Means for Retailers

In the fast-paced world of retail, speed isn’t just a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. Walmart’s announcement that its same-day delivery services are now able to reach 93% of U.S. households is the latest in an instant-delivery arms race with competitor Amazon who themselves announced they had delivered 9 billion items on either the same day or the next day in 2024. The two giants’ focus on same-day delivery is a clear reflection of consumer expectations for rapid order fulfillment. But for most retailers, meeting these rising demands can feel like an uphill battle.

That’s where Shipsi comes in. Our platform empowers businesses to offer same-day, scheduled, and on-demand delivery without the headaches of logistics management. Here’s why Walmart’s expansion matters—and how you can compete with the retail giant by leveraging Shipsi’s innovative technology.

The Growing Demand for Fast, Reliable Delivery

Walmart’s move isn’t just about convenience; it’s a response to shifting consumer behavior. Shoppers today expect instant gratification, with 41% of online consumers willing to pay extra for same-day delivery.¹ The growing importance of same-day delivery is further emphasized by the fact that 51% of retailers already offer same-day delivery, with this number expected to hit 65% within the next two years.² If big retailers like Walmart are adapting, businesses of all sizes need to follow suit to stay relevant.
