From Web site
to store
Wal-Mart is allowing customers to order items over the Web and have them shipped for free to one of 21 Pittsburgh area stores, rather than paying for home delivery. The retailer said Tuesday that its Walmart.com is popular with local customers, especially for electronics, home and baby products. The Site to Store service already is in some Midwestern and western states, is rolling out to the Northeast and within a few months will be in more than 3,300 stores. Through trials, Wal-Mart found that customers spend an additional $60 in the store as they pick up their Site to Store orders, and that by consolidating shipments, less fuel is used.
