Walmart is using its unmatched brick-and-mortar network to compete with Amazon Walmart.com's prices were, on average, only .3% higher than Amazon's over nearly a year-long period ending November 7, 2017, according to a study from Market Track.
The difference is down from 3%, which was the average difference between December 7, 2015 and November 21, 2016.
