What’s included at $0.65/unit

Inspection — every unit checked for condition, expiry, and Walmart compliance before it ships.
WFS labeling — correct Walmart item barcode (GTIN/2D) applied to each sellable unit, per WFS spec.
Outbound to WFS — boxed, labeled, and shipped into your Walmart inbound shipment with tracking.

Why sellers move their WFS prep to Hardway
Walmart Fulfillment Services rejects shipments for the wrong label, missing poly-bag, or a barcode it can’t scan — and a held shipment is lost Buy Box time. We prep to WFS spec so your inventory gets checked in clean the first time. New to the channel? Compare Walmart WFS vs Amazon FBA before you commit.

A wrong or unscannable barcode is one of the fastest ways to get a WFS shipment held.
