The "Walmart Fast Tag / Standard" fulfillment fee only applies to 2 and 3-Day orders if Flexport manages your shipping settings via our Walmart Fast Tag program.
How to Avoid Fulfillment Overcharges
Opt Out of Walmart Smart Tags
If you manually (or use Walmart Smart Tags to) turn on 2-Day or 3-Day shipping in Walmart, you will be charged the full TwoDay or ThreeDay fulfillment Expedited rate, which can be more than double our Walmart Fast tag.
Note: If you've opted in to Walmart Smart Tags, it's recommended to opt out to avoid being overcharged, as Flexport will handle your Walmart Fast Delivery. To opt out, submit this form to Walmart.
Turn off Weekend Delivery
Another requirement is to avoid extra charges by having Weekend Delivery off in Settings > Shipping Info (as seen below):
Ensure you've added Flexport holidays
If you don't set up these holidays in Walmart, Walmart will include the holiday in the shipping speed, causing a shorter estimated shipping date. Flexport will then expedite the shipping speed to meet Walmart's expectation, which will be more expensive.
Opt Out of All Expedited Rates
If you don't want to use any Expedited service levels for your orders, configure your Walmart Shipping Template to use Value only for Flexport orders. This will guarantee that we only choose our standard service levels. If Standard is enabled in your Shipping Template then an Expedited service level may be selected for orders, as Walmart’s Standard service level requires a 5-day delivery, whereas Flexport’s Standard service level has a 3 - 7 day SLA.
This does not apply to Merchants who are using the Flexport’s Walmart fast tag program, nor does it apply to Merchant’s who are using Walmart’s TwoDay or ThreeDay Delivery.
