Parcel stations give customers more time to place online orders on a wider assortment of products for next-day delivery, and they also make it easier and more efficient for employees to distribute orders from stores, McKeehan said.
“We plan to expand this capability to other locations next year as we better serve customers with speed, accuracy and reliability,” McKeehan said.
The stations will also help Walmart build density into the last-mile delivery process, lowering the costs it incurs to reach end customers. Carriers increase density by delivering more packages per stop or per route, making more efficient use of transportation assets.
