Full-time Walmart associates will be assigned to delivery, providing a trusted and familiar face to every order. They will put the order away in the garage (and – if available – the garage fridge).
“Walmart+ InHome’s goal is to give our members convenience and choice and, over the past few years, we’ve found that our garage delivery option is a popular choice among members,” said. Whitney Pegden, VP and GM, InHome. “We’re really excited about myQ smart garage technology helping us reach more customers with a smoother garage experience.”
When it comes to smart garage technology, myQ has a stronghold on the market with one in five households already equipped with a myQ smart garage door opener. myQ can be found in the LiftMaster® and Chamberlain® smart garage door opener brands or can be easily integrated with other leading garage door opener brands with a myQ smart garage control device.
As online shoppers continue to look for better delivery solutions that are secure, convenient and flexible, the nation’s largest retailers, such as Walmart, are using myQ to make it even easier for customers to use delivery services such as Walmart+ InHome and take advantage of the benefits of -garage delivery.
“With over 210 million packages disappearing from ports across the U.S. last year, many consumers feel the need to plan their day around deliveries to ensure they get their packages and groceries,” said Like Fitzgerald, Senior Director of Delivery Services for Chamberlain Group, a global leader in access control solutions with its Chamberlain and LiftMaster garage door opener brands and myQ technology. “Delivery inside the garage puts the customer in control without having to plan the day around deliveries—rain or shine, packages and groceries will stay safe inside the garage until someone is free to pick them up.”
With the Walmart+ InHome delivery service, customers will be able to purchase groceries, household essentials and other items from the Walmart app and have them delivered to the garage. Full-time Walmart associates will be assigned to delivery, providing a trusted and familiar face to every order. On the day of delivery they will receive one time access in the garage via a connected myQ device. They will take the order to the garage (and – if available – the garage fridge), disinfect every surface they touch, and take every return. Once the delivery is complete, they will lock the garage door to ensure that the home and packages are safe.
Simple setup.
“If you’re not sure you have a myQ smart garage door opener, look to see if it has a myQ logo and a WiFi logo, or says ‘powered by myQ’ on your garage opener,” Fitzgerald added. “Then download the myQ app and follow the steps to connect your opener(s) to the myQ app.”
No myQ? No problem. When you subscribe to Walmart+ InHome and select myQ as your default delivery method, you will be offered a FREE technology upgrade to make your existing garage door opener compatible.
In addition to turning the garage into a preferred package and grocery delivery location, myQ offers homeowners the ability to secure, control and monitor the garage on their smartphone through the myQ app. myQ helps increase garage and home security with real-time alerts that let homeowners know if they’ve left their garage door open. It also provides a more secure way to share access at home.
