Walmart Grocery Pickup Cost & Fees Explained

Walmart grocery pickup is typically free for Walmart+ members, while non-members usually pay a flat fee of $6.99 per order. This service allows you to have groceries delivered to your car, office, or home without entering the store.

How Pickup Pricing Works

The cost structure depends on your membership status and the total value of your cart. Walmart distinguishes between standard delivery and specific pickup services. Most grocery items are eligible for this service, but some high-value or restricted items may be excluded.

• Walmart+ Members: Enjoy free grocery pickup on orders of $35 or more. No additional service fee is charged.
• Non-Members: Pay a $6.99 delivery fee on orders of $35 or more. Orders under $35 may incur a higher fee or be ineligible for free shipping thresholds.
• Small Orders: If your order is under $35, the delivery fee applies regardless of membership status, though the exact amount may vary by location.

These rates are subject to change. Always check the checkout screen for the final price before confirming your order. The fee covers the driver's time and the logistics of bringing items to your vehicle.

Minimum Order Requirements

To qualify for the standard pricing structure, your cart must meet a minimum subtotal. This threshold ensures the delivery is economically viable for the retailer.

1. Add items to your online cart.
2. Review the subtotal. If it is below $35, you may need to add more items to reach the threshold for optimal pricing.
3. Proceed to checkout to see the exact fee applied to your specific zip code.

Some locations may have different minimums. The app or website will display the required minimum before you can select a delivery time. If you cannot meet the minimum, you may be offered in-store pickup instead, which is always free.

Walmart+ Membership Benefits

If you shop frequently, the Walmart+ membership is a cost-effective option. The membership fee is $12.95 per month or $98 per year. This subscription covers the delivery fees for grocery orders over $35, making it free for members.

Additional benefits include:

• Free shipping on most non-grocery items.
• Fuel rewards at participating gas stations.
• Exclusive member-only discounts.
• Early access to sales and deals.

For buyers who order groceries more than once a month, the membership fee is often recovered quickly through the waived delivery charges. Calculate your average monthly grocery spend to determine if the subscription is worthwhile for your household.

How to Place an Order

Placing a grocery pickup order is straightforward. You can use the Walmart website or the mobile app. The process takes less than five minutes once you know what you need.

1. Open the Walmart app or website and select the "Grocery" category.
2. Search for items and add them to your cart.
3. Select "Delivery" as your shipping method.
4. Choose a delivery time window that suits your schedule.
5. Enter your payment details and confirm the order.

You will receive a confirmation email with a tracking link. The driver will call or text you when they are on the way. You do not need to be home; the driver will leave the groceries in your trunk or a designated spot.
