Walmart’s Significantly Expanded Assortment Brings More Choices for Customers and the Largest Cyber Week
Event, Earlier than Ever
Free Shipping on Millions of the Best Holiday Gifts including HDTVs, Toys, Drones and Apparel, Plus Free
Store Pickup
After nearly tripling its online product assortment this year from 8 million to more than 23 million items, Walmart today
announced it will offer its largest Cyber Week assortment to date and kick off the event the day after Thanksgiving. Thousands of Walmart’s Cyber
Week online specials, featuring surprising new brands and unbeatable prices, will be available starting Friday, Nov. 25.
Every day throughout the holiday season, Walmart is giving customers more opportunities to save on the best gifts. Customers
that want to shop early can do so starting with Black Friday deals on Walmart.com at 12:01 a.m. EST Thanksgiving morning, continuing when stores open at 6 p.m. local time
Thanksgiving Day, and then throughout Cyber Week beginning Friday at 12:01 a.m. EST.
“By tripling our online product assortment, we’re able to offer a lot more new brands and choices to customers all season long,”
said Steve Breen, senior vice president of merchandising for Walmart.com. “And, three out of four customers tell us they want to
shop cyber deals earlier, so after our Black Friday event in stores Thursday night, customers can continue to save as we kick off
Cyber Week on Friday. No matter how or when you shop Walmart – in stores, online or through our app – you’re going to save on everything you want throughout the season.”
Millions of Items Online with Low Prices on Holiday Gifts
Walmart’s record growth in product assortment this year has been driven both by the increase in products offered by Walmart and
by its more than 3,000 Marketplace sellers, making it the largest Cyber Monday and Cyber Week ever for the retailer.
Customers will find more top brands like Samsung, Google and Nerf from Walmart, and surprising finds like Michael Kors, UGG and Ray-Ban from our Marketplace sellers.

Walmart expects that to be even higher.
Walmart offers free shipping on orders of $50 or more, as well as free pickup at Walmart stores, which becomes increasingly
popular during the holidays. During the first two weeks of November, pickup orders placed through the Walmart app have increased
more than 75 percent over the same period last year.
