Walmart+ members are being invited to partake in an online-only shopping event to let them browse an array of curated products that are making their debut at the retailer. The Early Access shopping experience will start Monday, April 29 at noon and run until Tuesday, April 30 at noon, 2024 and will enable members to peruse exclusive items and even limited-edition ones before the general public. This will allow shoppers to ensure they can get their hands on special items without having to worry about them selling out.
The company commented on the Walmart+ online shopping event saying, "Walmart+ members have shown significant engagement with our digital offerings, particularly in the grocery sector, so we’re excited to offer them a shopping event like no other where they can shop a wide selection of limited-edition grocery items and more, all with the benefit of free shipping and no additional fees that’s offered through every Walmart+ membership."
