“Instacart now delivers from Walmart locations in three California markets, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, as well as Tulsa, Oklahoma.

“The new partnership brings thousands of items, from groceries, alcohol and pantry staples to home decor and improvement, personal care, electronics and more, at everyday low prices from Walmart stores to customers’ doors in as fast as an hour.”
