Now Walmart wants a piece of that action.

Here is a snippet from that piece:
Walmart Stores will test a new unlimited shipping service for online shoppers this summer in the U.S. that will be priced below Amazon’s US$99 per year Prime service.
Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the shipping subscription service will cost customers US$50 a year. Products will arrive in three days or less.
Personally I detest paying for the right to go buy stuff. I'm far more interested in paying directly for that which I choose to buy. I've also started to notice "Prime Only" products at Amazon that keeps me out of their garden. Very annoying. Could I allow myself to pay $50 for free shipping all year? Maybe, but not likely, for me. However this seems like a very good play for Walmart.
Happy Reading,
