  "account": "Walmart, Target, and Home Depot all introduced three-hour delivery services recently, intensifying competition for same-day fulfillment in e-commerce. I tested these services by ordering the same item from each retailer at the same time. Home Depot's delivery arrived first, in under 30 minutes, followed by Target's 1 hour and 43 minutes, and Walmart's 3 hours and 20 minutes. Home Depot's service fee was the lowest at $7, while Target and Walmart offered lower fees for their members. The Home Depot driver was easy to tip, unlike the other retailers who required cash tips. Overall, Home Depot emerged as the fastest, simplest, and most cost-effective option.",
