E-commerce sales are surging. Here's what the rush to get online means for retailers.
Some retailers have responded to the trend by adding new options.accelerated the development and launch of Express Delivery, a new service that delivers online purchases such as groceries, toys and electronics to customers' homes in less than two hours. Nearly 1,000 stores offered the service as of early May, and the retailer plans to add hundreds more stores, according to a news release.launched a new online offering, too.
The drugstore chain also expanded on-demand delivery to more than 7,000 stores in late March through third-party service Postmates. The most profitable sales are the ones customers make when they walk into a store and pick something off the shelf. In most cases, the second-best option is having a customer pick up an online order in stores, where they may add another item to their basket.

Walmart is charging $10 per order for the speedier service, on top of typical delivery charges — an acknowledgment of its higher cost.
