CHICAGO (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said on Tuesday
that it is offering free shipping on thousands of items
purchased on its Web site for pick-up in more than 750 of its
U.S. stores.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070306/wr_nm/walmart_shipping_dc_2"><P>he program, which Wal-Mart has been testing since 2004,
will be rolled out nationwide to more than 3,300 stores by late
summer, and it could help bring additional sales to the
retailer's stores.</p> <P>Mike Smith, Walmart.com's director of store integration,
said the retailer found that nearly half of the customers from
the trial spent an additional $60 in its stores when they went
to pick up their orders.</p> <P>While some of that additional spending was on planned
purchases, like groceries, Smith said, about half of it was
spent on unplanned items.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D1A700D2-B189-43ED-A80D-307738F1DFB2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
