Detailed Answer

Walmart receiving specifications mandate GMA 48x40 inch wood pallets in either stringer (3 boards, fork-notched for 4-way entry) or block (9-block, true 4-way entry) construction. Pallets must be structurally sound with no broken or missing components, no protruding nails or fasteners, and clean appearance. Kiln-dried construction is preferred for grocery/cold-chain SKUs. Walmart has been rolling out RFID mandates for inbound pallets in select categories. Non-compliant pallets are subject to chargebacks at receiving.
