As a Marketplace seller, you’re responsible for choosing a carrier method for delivery of your items, unless you choose to ship with Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS). You should use a parcel carrier to ship items of standard size and weight. Below we’ve provided Walmart’s preferred and suggested carriers to use for parcel delivery.
How does it work?
Whichever carrier method you choose, valid tracking information must be provided to Walmart.com customers for more than 99% of your Marketplace orders, per Walmart’s Seller Performance Standards. Walmart’s top preferred carriers are USPS, FedEx and UPS.
