Walmart has strict shipping standards including unique timelines and policies. Failure to understand Walmart’s shipping standards can result in the suspension of your account so please read carefully and email us at Support@GeekSeller.com if you need clarification.
All shipping settings have to be set up on your Walmart Seller Center directly with the shipping templates.
See the table below for details about the transit times of all shipping methods:
Free Value Shipping
Free Value shipping is enabled by default and allows sellers to fulfill orders using slower, but cheaper, shipping service levels without carrier restrictions.
- Free Value is only supported in the “48 State – Street” region
- Free Value transit time is 3-7 business days by default
- Free Value shipping price is free for the buyer
Please see this video for details on how to remove free value shipping of your products.
