Wal-Mart <\/span><\/a>is scrapping its ShippingPass program, a fee-based, two-day shipping service it was testing to compete with Amazon\u00a0Prime<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, the world’s largest retailer will offer free two-day shipping on more than 2 million items when shoppers spend at least $35. That’s down from its previous spending threshold of $50, and its prior delivery window of three to five days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wal-Mart will give the undisclosed number of members who paid for a ShippingPass subscription a full refund.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wal-Mart first started testing its ShippingPass program in May 2015. It pumped up the program ahead of Amazon’s second Prime Day sales event, when it offered a free 30-day trial. But the program never took off to the same degree as Prime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though Wal-Mart’s service offered an unlimited number of free deliveries for just $49 a year \u2014 $50 less than the cost of Prime \u2014 it lacked the ancillary perks that have made Prime so addictive. Those include Amazon’s vast network of streaming video, music and unlimited photo storage. There also are members-only deals and it recently introduced a credit card that gives Prime members 5% back on their Amazon <\/span>purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

These types of perks encourage shoppers to stay loyal to\u00a0Amazon<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wal-Mart’s offer will apply to 2 million products, compared with more than 40 million eligible products on Prime. Lore emphasized that the 2 million items account for the vast majority of what its customers are purchasing.<\/span><\/p>\n
