Wal-Mart strikes deal with Lord & Taylor, growing ... - Page 2

I don't live anywhere near a Lord and Taylors but if I can purchase on line, and return to my local walmart (saving return costs) I might be inclined to purchase from them.

I hope it works out for both Wal-Mart and Lord & Taylor ... for the sake of their employees and stockholders.

No Wal-Mart stores around here but there's a Lord & Taylor about a mile away ... but I haven't been there in several years. So much easier to shop online at any hour of the day and night.

I hope that Wal Mart does a better job of managing the L&T webpage then L&T does. Their web site is one hot mess.

I also read that L&T is selling their flagship building on 5th Avenue and will retain the use of only three floors from the 10 floors in the building.

On an older ipad 2 the Walmart.com website is a real clunker as pages crash constantly and pages reload because of problems. Maybe people have better luck with a desktop or mobile. Their search engine sucks too.

I just read Linda Moss' Homeshoppingista blog about a 3rd party seller on Walmart's site that is selling clothes from brands that you see on QVC so I took a look but it sure was a roundabout way to find 17 pages of Dennis Basso clothing on Walmart.com. So how does a 3rd party seller have the nerve to use the photos which look like they were lifted from QVC to sell her stuff?

@Ocalagala . My cousin worked for many years in that store too!

There is no competition when speaking of Amazon.

Companies are grasping at straws, Will continue to loose.

I agree. Walmart is hoping to go from the inexpensive to the expensive patrons.

I notice on their surveys they even ask your ethnicity and annual income.

Walmart has a long row to hoe to even come near Amazon. It didn't take Amazon overnight. Walmart online is just a mess and everything about is so. Bad delivery, bad packing, bad return system. Maybe the next century.

In all probability, the vendor owns the property rights to the photographs. He/she or they agree(s) to their usage by Walmart or Amazon, or whatever source is using them.

@haddon9 Would you think it is right for them to partner with Amazon or to go bankrupt? What would you choose for their destiny.
