- Retailer adding 33 lockers to the existing 10 locations in the
GTA
- Keep your secret presents secret – ship your online order to a
locker
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 28, 2014 /CNW/ - Walmart Canada announced
today it is adding 33 Grab and Go lockers in the Greater Toronto area to allow more holiday
shoppers to take advantage of the new service.
The retailer installed its first set of lockers at 10 locations
in the Toronto area in August as
part of its initiative to be the universal access point for the
customer to get unbeatable prices for their full shopping needs
whether through its bricks and mortar stores or through its digital
platform.
"We want to provide customers with anytime, anywhere shopping
convenience," said Michael Memme,
director of transportation at Walmart.ca. "The lockers are an
intersection point between our physical and digital stores,
providing a terrific option for customers buying presents during
the holiday season that want to keep them away from prying eyes and
little fingers. It's also a very smart way for customers to send
packages to friends and family with no delivery fee, especially
when the customer is nowhere near the GTA," added Memme.
Today's announcement follows a series of initiatives Walmart
Canada has launched over the past year to dramatically accelerate
its ecommerce program. These include doubling its online product
assortment on walmart.ca last year and again doubling the
assortment this year, launching an online grocery assortment
providing a broad range of dry grocery items, and launching free
shipping throughout most of Canada.
The new lockers are being installed in Walmart stores at the
following locations between November 24 and
December 5:

About Grab and Go
This new delivery program launched
August 28, 2014 at 10 sites in the
greater Toronto area. Grab &
Go offers additional pick up sites for those customers wishing to
pick up at a Walmart store for convenience.
The Grab & Go option is offered on site just prior to check
out. Should the order qualify for Grab & Go (must be less than
65lbs and no one dimension can exceed 2 meters. Grab & Go
locations will be offered to customers that reside within a 50km
radius of a locker. The customer then selects the Grab & Go
site they wish to use prior to checking out. Customers will receive
an email the next day confirming the order has shipped along with a
6 digit PIN code to access their order from the Grab & Go unit.
Once at the Grab & Go site, the customer then enters their 6
digit PIN code and the compartment containing their package will
open.
Customers have three days to retrieve their order. Should the
item not be retrieved after the 3rd day, the item will be returned
to Walmart.ca. The refund process will then begin.
