How does Walmart+’s InHome delivery service work?

Once you’ve signed up for a Walmart+ membership, you can shop online at Walmart.com or in the Walmart app for eligible items and choose the InHome delivery window that suits you best. A Walmart InHome associate will then deliver your delivery to your garage or kitchen, or leave it at your doorstep.

There are no additional fees or tips, and a Walmart InHome associate will either enter your garage or home with a one-time passcode or ring your doorbell if you don’t have a smart lock or smart garage opener, the company says. Employees wear cameras on their vests to record all deliveries, which members can access in their Walmart account for a week after each delivery.

You can also schedule a return to be picked up from your home and delivered to your local store for a refund, all at no additional cost.
