Today I read an article about how Wal-Mart plans to step it up in their competition with Amazon. The new policy is basically a new form of pre-ordering or picking up a already purchased item. The new policy will allow customers to order and pay for a product online and pick it up in the stores in a locker. Yes Wal-Mart is now adding lockers to their stores but for the customers instead of the employees. This lockers idea is part of Wal-Marts goal to become a superstore online and even on your cell phones. While Wal-Mart still dominates Amazon in total sales, Amazon destroys Wal-Mart when it comes to online sales. The lockers should be ready for Wal-Mart shoppers by the summer but only for a few dozen stores to see how fond the customers are before they make the lockers nationwide.
