This blog is based on Shan Jiang’s blog called: “Walmart’s Making Pick-up Convenient”.
In Shan Jiang’s blog, she mentioned that how Walmart Canada improve its picking-up service. She also discussed the benefits that Walmart Canada gains from the picking-up service. At last, she said that the remote selling and buying are becoming world trends today, and many online sellers should hold the opportunity by providing good delivery service like Walmart Canada does.
In recent years, I saw the expansion of e-commerce and the good shopping services that e-commerce provides. People are attracted by the convenience and cheap price of online shopping. However, the e-commerce has some negative effects on the traditional market. The small retailers like grocery stores face huge competitions and may be forced to leave the market, because more people use online shopping. Moreover, Since customers are unable to see the goods before making purchases, there is an incentive for e-commerce to sell fake products on websites.
In conclusion, from the Walmart’s picking-up service, I see the popularity of online shopping and the impact of the online shopping to consumers and the market.
