Walmart shipping requirements
Orders cannot be shipped in competitor boxes or packaging

Packages may not contain any seller or third-party promotional or marketing materials (including but not limited to, customer surveys, requests for product reviews, promotional offers, coupons, or similar marketing items)
Tracking numbers must be accurate and valid and only communicated to Walmart once a package has been tendered to the carrier for shipment

Commonly used terms:
Fulfillment Lag Times
Fulfillment Lag Time is an item-level attribute that determines the number of days it takes the seller to prepare that item for shipment. The Fulfillment Lag Time field is updated only once a day. Any changes to this field may take up to 24 hours to be reflected on Walmart.com.
Transit Times
Order Transit Times determine the number of business days it takes the carrier to deliver an order to the customer after it is shipped. The transit time requirements are specific to each shipping method and region supported by the seller.
NOTE: Sellers must choose an appropriate lag time, shipment method, carrier, and carrier service level to deliver the order to the customer on or before the Expected Delivery Date indicated for Walmart.com Marketplace orders. Repeated failures to meet the Expected Delivery Date may result in selling privilege restrictions.
