Not sure I'd say that. Made a big statement and for each product they lost money on you can presume Amazon lost even more. There are big advantages to ordering with Walmart, especially in regards to buyer's remorse returns.

Amazon just dropped free shipping minimum to $25. Figured this was as good a place as any to let y'all know

showing $13.46 pick up discount
on such an item they are probably saving that much on the shipping, he said they are stopping (for now ) the crazy amounts that didn't make sense...

Walmart already won. Neither one is going to put the other out of business. Walmart's purpose is to make themselves a full fledged competition with Amazon. Mission accomplished. The question is how long they will continue it for added publicity.

The pickup discount has another purpose: get people into the store.

The simple fact is that most people won't make a special trip to the store to save $5. Instead, they will plan a shopping at Walmart, and pick up their item along the way.
