According to engadget.com, the COVID-19 pandemic has been hindering Walmart’s plans to launch its answer to Amazon Prime. The service, called Walmart+, was originally supposed to roll out in March or April 2020, but the company was forced to push its launch back to July 2020 due to COVID-19. However, the launch was once again delayed since then, and it’s unclear if its availability will be limited to certain regions at first.
Moreover, it was reported that Walmart+ will start as a rebranded version of the company’s Delivery Unlimited service, which costs subscribers USD 98 a year for unlimited same-day deliveries for grocery and select goods.
