Walmart Canada, DoorDash bring nationwide delivery to Canadians

Walmart Canada and DoorDash have unveiled a new partnership designed to revolutionise how Canadians shop, offering nationwide delivery of groceries and household essentials. This collaboration allows Walmart customers to order a wide range of products directly through DoorDash’s app or website, with items delivered to their doorstep in record time. The partnership signals a strategic move to meet the rising demand for on-demand, affordable, and convenient shopping options, especially during the holiday season.

DoorDash’s platform now features over 300 Walmart Supercentres across Canada, making grocery and merchandise delivery accessible in provinces such as Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Canadians can shop for tens of thousands of items, including fresh produce, pantry staples, pet supplies, electronics, and Walmart’s private-label brands like Great Value and Mainstays.

Convenience meets speed with Walmart and DoorDash

Walmart Canada representatives stated that this partnership aligns with their goal of creating a seamless omnichannel shopping experience. Ignacio Baladron, Vice President of Omni Channel & Online Grocery, explained that the collaboration would help time-strapped customers, last-minute shoppers, and those who prefer shopping from home. By leveraging DoorDash’s delivery network, Walmart is continuing its mission to help Canadians save money while accessing essential items quickly and conveniently.

From DoorDash’s perspective, the partnership extends its commitment to supporting families’ routines. DoorDash Canada General Manager Shilpa Arora highlighted that customers increasingly rely on delivery services for diverse needs, from everyday groceries to special holiday purchases.

An easy-to-use platform for last-minute needs

One standout feature of this partnership is the flexibility it offers. Customers can add items to their DoorDash cart even after placing an order until the Dasher – DoorDash’s delivery partner – begins shopping at the store. This added convenience ensures that forgotten items can still make it to the customer’s doorstep without requiring a separate order.

For subscribers of DoorDash’s DashPass program, shopping at Walmart becomes even more attractive. DashPass members receive benefits such as $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, making it a cost-effective option for frequent users.

A seamless solution for Canadian shoppers

As Canadians increasingly turn to e-commerce for their shopping needs, this partnership positions Walmart Canada and DoorDash as leaders in the evolving retail landscape. By combining Walmart’s extensive product catalogue with DoorDash’s robust delivery capabilities, the collaboration aims to reshape how consumers access essential goods, particularly during the peak holiday season.
