Office Depot Inc. said Monday that it will introduce same-day delivery in three markets in the coming weeks with help from a third-party provider Deliv. The service will launch in Atlanta and Los Angeles on August 28, and in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami on September 6. Office Depot will waive the delivery fee as a limited introductory offer.

Office Depot shares are up 31.4% for the year so far while the S&P 500 index is up 10.6% for the period.
