Brisbane, Calif. – Walmart.com has added nearly one million new items to its site through alliances with other online retailers that sell home, baby, apparel, toys and sporting goods /sports memorabilia.

The company says it plans to add additional retailers in the coming 12 months.

CSN Stores (www.csnstores.com) is Walmart.com’s partner in home, and its textiles selection is limited to area rugs.

Orders are placed through Walmart’s site, and the discounter will handle customer service, shipping, handling, exchanges and returns.
