Walmart to expand shipping perks for shoppers ahead of the holidays

In the fight for shoppers’ holiday dollars, retailers are increasingly touting perks like free shipping and easy returns.

Walmart said Tuesday it is expanding two-day shipping and in-store returns to many items sold by third parties on its website next month, just ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.

The move comes as rivals Amazon and Target have been improving their own shipping perks to persuade shoppers to pick them over the competition. When it gets down to the last minute, shoppers who procrastinate later this year will be flocking to the retailers that can get items to them fastest before Christmas.
