BENTONVILLE, Ark. and NEW YORK, N.Y. – March 19, 2018 – Walmart and Handy know that customers not only want to save money on their next TV or couch; they also want to immediately enjoy the new item at home.

The new program provides Walmart shoppers with quick, affordable access to Handy’s high-quality in-home installation and assembly, as interested shoppers can purchase Handy services while checking out in store. As with all Handy services, Walmart customers can schedule an appointment from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and a qualified local professional will arrive on time to handle the rest. All Handy services are backed by the Handy Happiness Guarantee.
