Those who buy groceries through the program would pay a $7-$10 delivery charge to Walmart. After placing an order, Walmart associates would complie the items and request an Uber or Lyft to transport the groceries to the customer’s location. Walmart will be testing this program with Uber in Phoenix and with Lyft in Denver, [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-03/wal-mart-to-start-testing-grocery-delivery-through-uber-lyft "undefined") reports.
