At a press event today Walmart unveiled its plans to test a new locker system in its stores. This summer, in some of its location, Walmart will let customers shop online, store the product in stores and then pick the items up in store with out having to wait in lines.
Amazon has a similar process that it has been doing since last year. They hold items customers order in lockers at places like Staples and guarantee the stock of a particular item. The customer then goes to Staples to pick up their product rather than it being shipped to their home.
