Walmart Extends Handy Service To Online Customers

Walmart and odd-job network Handy on Tuesday said that as of Wednesday their partnership offering Handy’s assembly and installation services to Walmart customers has been extended online through walmart.com. The online option, where customers can purchase Handy services with a single click at checkout, will roll out nationally through September, according to a press release emailed to Retail Dive. Once paid for, shoppers schedule an appointment from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. to have a local pro set up items like furniture, lighting or smart home devices, the companies said. In March, Walmart added Handy’s installation and assembly services to more than 2,000 U.S. Walmart stores. The tie-up was previously in place in 25 Walmart stores in Atlanta. Read more at Retail Dive.
