It Dominates Everything It Touches. But Can Amazon Compete With . . . Walmart?

FYI: You can purchase an electronic safe for your handgun on Amazon and get free delivery a day later.

For more trusting souls, Walmart employees will begin this fall to enter homes and stuff groceries into pantries and refrigerators when the owners aren’t around.

And Target — a favorite of young families — can deliver diapers within an hour after they have been ordered online.

The last mile of a marathon is always the toughest — and Amazon, the capitalist colossus intent on owning much of the world’s wallet share, is in the closing sprint alongside increasingly web-savvy brick-and-mortar rivals like Walmart and Target. The victor will be the firm that can most rapidly deliver online orders to customers’ homes, within a day or less.
