Walmart said Friday it was readying a new home delivery service where its employees could come inside and stock up customers' refrigerators. The new "InHome" service expected to launch this year in several US cities aims to outdo retail rival Amazon, which brings goods inside customer homes though its electronic access program called Amazon Key. Walmart said on its website that consumers who opt in for the service will need smart devices allowing remote access for the delivery team, which may enter when no one is home.
"You can be anywhere you want, but you don't have to be home," Walmart said on its promo page.
