A New Standard for Holiday Shopping

This holiday season, Walmart isn’t just meeting shopper expectations—it’s setting a new benchmark for convenience and speed. With record-breaking performance during Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025, the retail giant is proving that holiday shopping can be smoother, faster, and more reliable than ever before.

From Click to Doorstep: Delivery at Lightning Speed

Imagine ordering a gift and having it delivered before you finish your cup of coffee. Walmart’s same-day delivery system, powered by a nationwide network of 4,600 stores, now reaches 95% of U.S. households. This means millions of customers can shop online and receive their items in hours—or even minutes.

On Black Friday alone, Walmart fulfilled 57% more orders from stores compared to last year, a staggering increase that highlights the retailer’s ability to scale operations during peak demand.

Breaking Records: Faster Than Ever Before

Speed wasn’t just a promise—it was a reality. Walmart delivered 44% more orders within three hours compared to last year’s holiday season. And the fastest delivery? A cleaning mop, dropped off in just 10 minutes to a customer in West Valley City, Utah. That’s not just quick—it’s revolutionary.

Why It Matters: Convenience Meets Confidence

Whether you’re facing last-minute gift panic or indulging in spontaneous holiday shopping, Walmart’s logistics network ensures that “now” is still a valid time for giving. This level of speed and reliability transforms the shopping experience, making it easier for customers to focus on what truly matters—celebrating the season with loved ones.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Retail is Here

Walmart’s holiday performance is more than a seasonal success—it’s a glimpse into the future of retail. By combining scale, technology, and customer-centric innovation, Walmart is redefining what it means to shop during the busiest time of the year.
