Walmart says its new service aims to make assembly and installation a little more convenient for certain products shoppers buy.

It's called Handy. Walmart tested it in Atlanta; it went so well, the company is expanding the service to more than 2,000 locations.

Handy lets customers hire someone to help mount the TV they just bought or put together a new bookshelf. It's similar to a service Ikea already has.

This is only one of a few things the retail giant has done recently to compete with other chains like Amazon and Ikea.

Earlier this month, Walmart said it's expanding its online grocery delivery service to more than 100 metro areas.
