The nation’s second-largest bookstore chain is teaming up with a well-known partner to enter the fast online delivery space.
Books-A-Million is introducing same- and next-day delivery across its 231 locations nationwide. Leveraging the Walmart white-label GoLocal “delivery-as-a-service” platform, Books-A-Million will roll out same- and next-day delivery in the coming weeks across its 231 locations nationwide, starting with its Southeast and Midwest markets. The retailer already offers buy online, pickup in store (BOPIS) and free curbside pickup options.
Customers will place an order online at booksamillion.com and select the “same-day delivery” option during checkout. The order will then be picked up by a delivery driver and dropped off at the customer’s desired location. Orders placed before 3pm will be delivered same-day, and orders placed after 3pm will be delivered next-day on tens of thousands of products that are in stock in a nearby store, including all top-selling books, toys, games, and collectibles.
