Skip is expanding beyond restaurants by teaming up with Walmart Canada to deliver groceries and household essentials directly to homes across the country.
The new partnership allows customers to order from more than 300 Walmart stores nationwide, using Skip’s Shop + Pay model. Couriers will pick, pack, and deliver items such as groceries, cleaning supplies, pet products, and home essentials directly from your local Walmart locations.
“We know Canadians are juggling a lot – rising costs, busy schedules, and the desire to make life a little easier,” says Paul Sudarsan, SVP, Partnerships at Skip, in a statement to iPhone in Canada. “Teaming up with Walmart Canada brings together the best of both worlds: trusted value and everyday convenience. From midweek grocery top-ups to last-minute household restocks and everything in between, we’re helping Canadians get what they need, when they need it, without adding stress to their day.”
Skip says it is now available to millions of Canadians in over 450 cities and towns with more than 50,000 local restaurant, grocery, convenience and retail partners.

I find it odd that someone would use this over Walmart's delivery service if they're only after groceries since, in my experience, the Walmart "pickers" are a lot better at making decisions than the Uber and Skip drivers are.
Plus those drivers will rush for speed to do more orders in a day, mistakes be damned.
Couriers have a hard time delivering items as is.
Whenever the driver's have picked for me either through Walmart or No Frills, I have had no issues getting a refund on those items that I had issues with.
