We had just heard about Walmart’s new fulfillment service competitive with FBA, when we learned the retail giant was launching a membership program a la Amazon Prime. Recode reported Walmart will begin testing the membership program as early as March, initially as a rebrand of same-day grocery service Delivery Unlimited.
Wayfair, looking very Amazon-ish, has launched a new paid membership program called MyWay that for $29.99 a year gives customers access to benefits like exclusive sales, discounts on installation and assembly services, free shipping and next-day delivery with no minimum order threshold.
