Walmart is lifting the minimum requirement for completing an order through its Express delivery service.

The retail giant announced Monday it will no longer require a $35 minimum order on its delivery service, which brings items to customers in less than two hours.

“Many customers use Express delivery for when they’re in a pinch, whether it be a missing ingredient for a weeknight dinner or a pack of diapers,” said Tom Ward, senior vice president of customer product at Walmart, in a statement. “Customers told us sometimes the items they needed in a hurry didn’t meet the minimum, so we’re removing it, making it even easier for customers to get what they need when they need it.”

The company’s Express delivery is available at 3,000 Walmart stores. It typically costs $10 on top of the existing delivery charge. Members of Walmart+ only pay $10 for an order.

Walmart expanded its Express delivery last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as more Americans avoided shopping in person, opting to either buy using curbside pickup or delivery services.
