Since Walmart uses several different couriers, their usage can vary from time to time depending on availability, the size and weight of the Walmart package needing to be delivered, and so on. For instance, in the US, Walmart package delivery services use UPS, FedEx and even the USPS to help with deliveries. Therefore, when ordering products through Walmart your product may not only be sourced at one of the thousands of locations but will be prepared, packaged, processed, and sent via any number of these service centres as part of the delivery process.Īlthough the company's many processing centres and warehouses do help Walmart quickly dispatch and move Walmart packages and parcels, it still relies on third-party logistics from courier companies. However, Walmart has tens of thousands of shops, warehouses, storage points, processing centres, offices, and more worldwide, as part of its huge global operational network. It is headquartered in Bentonville Arkansas. Walmart's latest endeavour is to break into the online market, in which it is investing billions of dollars to rival the likes of hugely successful marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. It also has business in Chile, Canada, Argentina, and South Africa, among other smaller operations in other countries.

Walmart operates as Asda in the United Kingdom, Seiyu Group in Japan, and Best Price in India. In the United States and Canada, the corporation operates under the name Walmart while in Mexico and Central America, the company operates as Walmart de México y Centroamérica. Its many international stores, however, operate under some 56 different names. It is still a family-owned business controlled by the Walton family.
