That's less than 1% of Walmart's total sales. It's not a major loss for them. Especially when Amazon is offering many products at a much cheaper price-point.

I don't support either major retailer, I'm just providing context that within the given sales (and margin), it's barely a drop in the bucket to a problem for Walmart.



1% of sales for Walmart is ~3-4% of profit. That's huge.


Dude, 1% of sales is absolutely massive, especially as Walmart's profit margin (I assume), isn't the fattest.


>> 1% of sales

It's 0.57% of sales [1]. I tried to find out how much in returns they deal with but...I suspect that returns is a higher number or at minimum comparable.
