With New Delivery Service, Wal-Mart Again Takes the Fight to Amazon

Wal-Mart sure is trying to be more like rival Amazon.com in an effort to to improve its weak sales trends. The world's largest retailer is testing a two-day shipping subscription service called ShoppingPass that mirrors Amazon's successful Prime service, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Members to ShoppingPass reportedly will get free, two-day shipping for $49 a year compared to $99 for the similar service at Amazon Prime.
