It was only a matter of time.

I never took advantage of it, so it's no biggie for me.

Update to Home Shipping Charges


First, I would like to thank you for being a Walmart.ca customer. In the 3 1/2 years since our launch, we have shipped millions of items to customers at their homes and at pickup locations across Canada in an effort to save Canadians time and money. One of our pillars has been free standard home shipping to most places in Canada, but in a few days we will make some changes to our home shipping charges to ensure we can continue to give you great service and everyday low prices on items your family wants or needs.

Later this week we will introduce a $50 threshold for free standard shipping on home delivery, excluding remote areas in Canada. Once you reach this threshold, you will qualify for free standard shipping orders on home delivery on everything, except large and oversized items. Any purchases under this threshold will cost $4.97 for standard shipping to your home. We will still offer free shipping to a pickup location, regardless of how much you spend, at more than 5,000 Canada Post locations across the country and Grab & Go lockers if you’re in the Greater Toronto Area. We are always focused on giving you the best value when it comes to shipping, and we believe this is still one of the best values in eCommerce in Canada while allowing us to drive savings in our operations to pass on to you.

Again, thank you for being a customer. If you would like any additional information on our new home shipping charges, please click here.
