Overview

You can ship your Marketplace items with expedited delivery by using Walmart’s OneDay or TwoDay  delivery programs. If you’re eligible, you have two ways to opt-in based on how you manage fulfillment. In this guide, you’ll learn more about Seller-managed and Third-party managed shipping options.

How does it work?

The seller-managed option allows you to manage your fulfillment network by shipping items from your warehouse or with a fulfillment provider. To be eligible for the seller-managed option, you must:  

Complete the onboarding process in Seller Center.

Have an active Seller Center account. Inactive, suspended or terminated accounts aren't eligible for program access.
Meet the minimum performance standards. Check the Performance dashboard in Seller Center to confirm your performance for the last 30 days meets the requirements.
Be a Walmart Marketplace seller for more than 90 days or have fulfilled a minimum of 20 orders that meet these metrics within the last 30 days:

On-Time Shipping: >95% 
On-Time Delivery: >95%
Valid Tracking Rate: >95% 
Cancellation Rate: <1.5%

Request access

In Seller Center, select Account Settings , then select Seller Fulfillment  under the Shipping profile heading. Navigate to the Shipping Info  tab, then select Request Access in the OneDay and Two Day Shipping row. Approval will be completed within the business day (automated approval/rejection). Once approved, you’ll automatically gain access to OneDay and TwoDay shipping methods. 

Notes

Follow the instructions in Manual Shipping Templates to set up your OneDay or TwoDay shipping settings.  You can set up TwoDay to designated regions and sub-regions to accommodate for any shipping constraints.  You’re solely responsible for verifying if the products listed under a specific program can be delivered on time. It’s your responsibility to determine if there are any constraints such as weight, distance or other factors that may prevent timely shipping as part of that program and to list them accordingly.

Third-party managed

If you can’t fulfill your items within one or two business days or you don’t meet other requirements of the seller-managed option, you can use Deliverr or Shipbob, third-party shipping providers.

Frequently asked questions

How will I know that I’m approved for the seller-managed option after I submit the request in Seller Center? 

Can I choose to opt out of the program later? 

With the seller-managed option, you can disable participation for all regions or opt out of the program entirely by deleting the OneDay or TwoDay shipping settings rules you’ve set up in your Shipping Template.  

If you sign up for the program with Deliverr, you’ll be able to adjust your fast shipping preferences directly from the Deliverr dashboard.   If you sign up for Shipbob, you’ll have the ability to integrate Shipbob functionality with Seller Support to ensure smooth third-party logistics.

Once I’ve been approved, what do I do next? 

I used a third-party option (Deliverr or Shipbob) but would like to switch over to the other. However, the fulfillment option is grayed out and I can’t use it. Why?

Will expedited shipping help with site visibility?

How is OneDay and TwoDay delivery calculated? 

You’re required to deliver on or before the Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) for at least 95% of OneDay and TwoDay delivery orders on a trailing 30-day basis.  OneDay and TwoDay delivery will show an Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) that’s two or three business days after the order date. Orders you receive Monday through Friday before 2:00 pm local time will show an EDD two business days after the order date.

Orders you receive after 2:00 pm local time on a business day, or on a weekend or holiday, will show an EDD that’s three business days after the order date. Your carrier should deliver the package to the buyer on or before the EDD.   

Can I charge customers a shipping fee for OneDay or TwoDay delivery?
