Get ready to have your lumber, paint, and other materials for home improvement projects delivered as Home Depot is adding a new delivery system through Walmart.
The announcement was made by the two retailers on Wednesday, as they will now be "working together to expand same-day and next-day delivery capabilities for home improvement customers in the U.S."
Home Depot is the first retailer to join forces with Walmart's new white-label GoLocal delivery service.
The rollout for the delivery system will be available in select markets within the coming weeks and is expected to be expanded to more markets across the country by the start of 2022.
For orders to be delivered same-day, they will need to "easily fit in a car." Customers will have the option to select delivery during online checkout, the companies said.
"This partnership brings us even closer to our goal of offering same-day or next-day delivery to 90 percent of the U.S. population," Stephanie Smith, Home Depot senior vice president of supply chain, said in a statement, USA Today reported.

Larger products will have different options available. Home Depot shared that it's "building a comprehensive, innovative delivery network to provide customers with same-day or next-day delivery options no matter the product or project."
Walmart's U.S. president and CEO John Furner shared that they are excited to be working with Home Depot on the project.
"We're honored to work with The Home Depot in our shared goal of making fast and reliable local delivery available in every community we serve, including rural and suburban areas, where we both have a strong retail presence," Furner said in a statement.
Walmart had announced the plans for its GoLocal service in August, saying it would use contract workers, autonomous vehicles, and other means to transport other retailers' products to customers within hours. The service is also expected to be done without Walmart branding.
