According to Reuters, Deliv, which was one of Walmart’s earliest partners with pilot programmes in the US (Miami and San Jose), ended the partnership via a ninety-day termination notice, and the two companies stopped working with each other.
Deliv offers scheduled same-day deliveries through gig drivers, a model that can work well with fast order processing and a good ability to predict demand and robust volumes.
