New Same-Day Delivery Service of Florist-Arranged Flowers at www.walmart.com Delivers Added Convenience to Customers This Valentine's Day

BRISBANE, Calif., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Just in time for Cupid's arrows to fly, Walmart.com announces the official launch of FTD(R), the world's oldest "same-day" floral delivery service, online at www.walmart.com .

Now, Walmart.com customers can opt for same-day delivery, seven days-a-week, when purchasing a wide range of high-quality floral arrangements delivered by an FTD florist -- at Every Day Low Prices they expect from Wal-Mart.

Customers can conveniently browse a selection of beautiful blooms and easily place orders online at www.walmart.com . Floral orders are professionally arranged by trusted FTD florists and are delivered through the FTD delivery network, which connects approximately 20,000 FTD florists that provide same-day delivery to most areas of the United States.

"At Walmart.com, we're adding even more flexibility and convenience to the busy lives of our customers by providing same-day flower delivery just in time for Valentine's Day," said Jennifer Gosselin, Walmart.com's senior director of merchandising. "We're excited to provide our customers quality, florist-arranged flowers through the respected FTD brand at the great value they trust from Wal-Mart."

From birthdays to new babies, the new same-day delivery service expands upon Walmart.com's already popular floral category, which offers customers a wide range of value-priced, themed bouquets for next-day delivery and advanced orders. Thus, customers can choose from a variety of flower delivery options, all from the comfort of home at www.walmart.com .
