Walmart has been established for more than 50 years and is considered the largest department store in the world, as well as Amazon’s only competitor. Walmart offers a wide variety of products including toys, pharmaceuticals, household items, clothing, automotive parts, jewelry, cosmetics, home appliances, and much more.
What sets Walmart apart from others is its commitment to reducing costs through various channels, marketing strategies, and administration, while promoting the promise of "Everyday Low Price, Always." Because of this, Walmart is not only popular in the U.S. but also loved by international shoppers. Below is an introduction to the Walmart online shopping process, using the ShipYouNow shipping and logistics service as an example.

1. Register:
If you already have an account, simply click "Sign in". Otherwise, click "Create an Account" to register a new one.
Fill in the registration details such as your name, email, and password. After completing this, you will receive an email confirming that you have successfully registered.
2. Purchase Products:
Once registered, you can proceed to the purchasing process. Use the search bar or category dropdown menu to find the products you want to buy. The most popular products for international shoppers are often baby products, clothing, or toys, as these are lightweight.
For example, if you add an item to your cart and go to the product details page, you'll see that if you spend $35 or more, you get free domestic shipping. To save on shipping costs, you can add more items to your cart.
A few tips:
··· If a product shows "Walmart store", it means the item can only be picked up in Walmart stores in the U.S.
··· "Out of Stock" indicates the product is unavailable.
··· Walmart.com also has third-party sellers; anything marked "Sold by Walmart.com" is from Walmart, while others are from different sellers.
3. Choose a Shipping Method:
Walmart Pickup requires you to pick up the item at a physical store, and they’ll pack it for free. Shipping is for home delivery. For international shoppers, home delivery is the most common choice (as overseas warehouses do not support store pickup). As mentioned earlier, if your order exceeds $35, domestic shipping is free. Click "Continue" to proceed.
4. Enter Shipping Address:
You can enter the address of a forwarding company. After registering with ShipYouNow, go to the member center and fill in the warehouse address, including your name, address, zip code, and phone number. Then click "Continue" to proceed. Simply fill in the forwarding company's warehouse address as provided.
5. Payment:
Enter/select your payment method. Walmart supports non-U.S. credit cards, but the verification process may be stricter. Some users have reported issues with PayPal orders being canceled. If you have a U.S. credit card, you can use it directly. Fill in your credit card details, and the billing address can be the same as the forwarding warehouse address by selecting "Same as shipping."
6. Confirm and Place the Order:
If everything goes smoothly, your order will be successfully placed. After the order is reviewed and shipped, you will receive an email with the tracking number. You can then relax and wait for your package.
7. Declare the Package:
After shipping, you will receive the international tracking number. Go to the ShipYouNow website and declare the package. Once the package reaches ShipYouNow's warehouse and is scanned into the system, you can submit your order, fill in the delivery address for Vietnam, and ShipYouNow will process the package. After paying the shipping fee, ShipYouNow will arrange international delivery directly to your designated address.
