ONE STOP SHOP!!

A shopping list to Wal-Mart may consist of a wide array of good such as shampoo, milk, a new shirt, cds, frames, art supplies, and now it can even include a coffin!

Wal-Mart and Costco are now offering the sale of Caskets online to undercut competition.

In a Toronto Star article it states that Wal-Mart is attempting this to boost their online sales, against competitors such as Costco.
Wal-Mart has decided to use the avenue of E-Business to introduce the sale of a new product. These are not sold in stores and strictly sold online alongside Costco! These goods are not allowed to be returned, due to restrictions.
Think of the costs Wal-Mart is saving as they are not required to keep a large selection in stock, and are able to be shipped all throughout America reaching a large market.
