Sellers on Walmart's online marketplace are now allowed to use eight additional parcel carriers for orders they fulfill themselves, the retail giant announced Oct. 13.
Walmart Marketplace's approved carrier list for seller-fulfilled orders now includes UniUni, SpeedX, Exelot, SwiftX, TForce Final Mile, Gofo, OSM Worldwide and DoorDash, according to the announcement. Metropolitan Warehouse & Delivery is available for freight shipments, as well.
The additions give Walmart sellers a wider array of parcel delivery options amid growing interest in alternative carriers outside of FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. Lesser-known delivery providers are working to attract more shippers through competitive rates, technological advancements, new features and expanded coverage areas.
Even with the additions, Walmart's top preferred carriers for shipping marketplace orders remain the Postal Service, FedEx and UPS. But the retailer has other carriers on its approved list, including OnTrac, DHL Express, Canada Post and GLS.
"Shipping a Walmart order using a non-approved carrier is not recommended and may result in suppression, suspension or termination because the tracking information cannot be validated by Walmart," according to the website.
The expanded carrier mix comes as the retailer's e-commerce business sees fast growth, with marketplace net sales posting a more than 50% jump in Q2. E-commerce sales now represent over 23% of Walmart's mix in its U.S. business, double its level from five years ago, EVP and CFO John David Rainey said on an August earnings call.
Many sellers opt to have Walmart handle logistics for marketplace orders — including delivery — through Walmart Fulfillment Services, rather than working with parcel carriers directly. Nearly 50% of the retailer's marketplace business flowed through Walmart Fulfillment Services in Q2, up nearly 400 basis points from 2025, Rainey said.
