Walmart’s expedited delivery program lets you offer OneDay or TwoDay delivery using your own shipping methods, logistics and carriers. You'll maintain full control over fulfillment with the benefit of faster delivery promises. In this guide, you’ll learn more about these seller-managed expedited delivery options and how to participate.
How does it work?Â
This seller-managed fulfillment option allows you to manage your fulfillment network by shipping expedited items from your warehouse or with a fulfillment provider. Walmart prioritizes these listings by enhancing their search visibility, boosting their Buy Box advantage, displaying the fast-shipping badge and giving them a higher preference during Marketplace sales events.

Additional guidelines
Once you have access to the program, the next step is to configure your shipping settings using one of these available methods:Â
Shipping setting | Description |
|---|---|
Simplified Shipping Settings | Calculates delivery times using your updated fulfillment settings closing the gap between your promised and actual delivery times. Walmart recommends selecting the faster shipping service as your shipping priority. |
Manual Shipping Templates | Assigns OneDay or TwoDay shipping at the SKU or template level using manual Shipping Templates. |
Consider these suggested fulfillment settings for an optimal configuration that maintains the fast-shipping badge.Â
Setting | Suggested configuration |
|---|---|
Lag time | Set expedited offers to 0. |
Inventory | Ensure inventory levels are maintained across all fulfillment centers for all SKUs offering expedited shipping options. |
Operating schedule | Consider expanding your fulfillment center operating schedule by implementing a 5pm local cut-off time. This adjustment would allow more customers across Walmart.com to see and benefit from the TwoDay delivery promise. |
Weekend delivery | Enable Saturday or Sunday delivery, provided your carriers can guarantee weekend delivery. |
Carrier services | When possible, use premium carrier services such as FedEx Express to ensure reliable TwoDay delivery. Ground carrier services can also meet TwoDay delivery promises when the order originates close to the fulfillment center. |
Shipping labels | Receive a 25% discount on Ship with Walmart labels. |
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.
