NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Love Wal-Mart but hate running across its football-field-sized stores for a tube of toothpaste? Now you don't have to.
Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500), the world's largest retailer, is debuting a new free service later this month that lets customers order items online at walmart.com and then pick them up four hours later at the nearest store.

The service, called "Pick Up Today," rolls out this month and will be available in 3,600 Wal-Mart stores nationwide by June.
The service includes about 40,000 items that include baby products, toys, furniture, electronics and appliances.
"Pick up Today allows customers to see the inventory of their local Wal-mart store," said Walmart.com spokesman Ravi Jariwala.
