U.S. retail giant Walmart announced Tuesday that it will provide customers with free next-day delivery covering hundreds of thousands of "most frequently purchased" items.

美國零售業巨頭沃爾瑪周二宣布，它將為客戶提供包含數十萬“最常購買”物品的第二天免費送貨服務。 

Marc Lore, president and CEO of Walmart eCommerce U.S., said in a statement that the next-day delivery program covers "220,000 of the items most frequently purchased, ranging from diapers and laundry detergent to toys and electronics, with more assortment to be added."

沃爾瑪電子商務美國公司總裁兼首席執行官Marc Lore在一份聲明中表示，第二天的交付計劃涵蓋“最常購買的220,000件物品，從尿布和洗衣粉到玩具和電子產品，還有更多品種可供選擇。 “

"It is available on eligible orders of 35 dollars or more, with the specific assortment varying by customer location," he added.

“它適用于35美元或以上的合格訂單，具體分類因客戶所在地而異，”他補充道。

Next-day delivery, according to Lore, will be available first to Walmart.com customers in Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada, and will expand to Southern California in the coming days.

根據Lore的說法，次日交付將首先提供給位于亞利桑那州鳳凰城和內華達州拉斯維加斯的Walmart.com客戶，并將在未來幾天內擴展到南加州。 

Walmart will gradually roll out the plan in the coming months. It expects the new sales strategy to reach approximately 75 percent of the U.S. population this year, which includes 40 of the top 50 major U.S. metro areas, said the statement.

沃爾瑪將在未來幾個月逐步推出該計劃。該聲明稱，預計今年新的銷售策略將達到美國人口的約75％，其中包括美國50大主要城市中的40個。

Walmart started with same-day in-store pickup in 2011 and began offering two-day free shipping in 2017 with no membership fee, according to the statement.

根據聲明，沃爾瑪于2011年開始當天店內提貨，并于2017年開始提供為期兩天的免費送貨服務，不收取會員費。

Walmart's new initiative was viewed by U.S. media as a measure to compete with rivals in the retail sector, as it came after Amazon announced on April 25 that it would spend 800 million dollars in the second quarter for free one-day delivery for all of its Prime members.

沃爾瑪的新舉措被美國媒體視為與零售業競爭對手競爭的一項措施，因為亞馬遜于4月25日宣布將在第二季度花費8億美元，為其所有部門提供一天免費送貨服務
