Walmart Grocery Pick-up

Kachina624 — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 06:36:06 GMT

The are still poorly stocked but I've managed to get milk, flour and other things to ward off starvation.

Pick-up is a whole new world. My store is only posting one day at a time and they change it and add the new day at exactly midnight. Thursday is up for grabs now. I just picked my time and had a choice of anytime but by morning the time slots will all be filled.

If you need things and don't want the human contact in the store you might try the free pick-up service. Download their grocery app. You can do a fake grocery list to see what they've got without commitment. If you decide to place an order, pick your time and pay for the order immediately or you'll lose your time slot. You can add to the order throughout the day.

I wanted to add, their order fillers pick the produce from the back storeroom and it's much nicer than what you find displayed in the store.

I did the same at Kroger today and everything came fresh and accurate. It was easy.

I highly recommend the pick up at Walmart! I will be picking up my second order from them this morning. I too downloaded the app and their service is excellent!

Walmart is doing a terrific job for me!💕💕

How do I do this without a smart phone?? I don't have a smart phone!

I just tried to put some stuff in my cart and most everything I need is out of stock. My WM here is the most busy one in the city.

@SilleeMee You can place your order online, but when you leave your house you need to sign in on your phone and they can track you and see when you arrive. Then you call when you get there and let them know what slot you're in with your car.

You don't have to check in when you leave at other grocery stores, but you always have to call when you get there. It might be worth it to buy an inexpensive phone at Walmart with a limited number of minutes to use for this. My sister just bought one for her mother-in-law, and it was around $20 - $25.

I have a flip phone cell phone. I'm not going to buy a smart phone just to pick up food!

I have no idea how I can use this WM pickup service with a flip phone either.

@SilleeMee You could use almost any grocery pick-up with a flip phone. All you have to do is call them when you get there.

Thank you! @NickNack

That's what I thought I could do but I wasn't sure.

@SilleeMee , Hello, you're so helpful in the beauty forums, I wanted to chime in and offer you advice on Walmart grocery pickup!

Are there other stores around you, that you'd be willing to drive a little further to for pickup? They may have more items in inventory than your closest (and busiest) store....You can change your pickup location from the Grocery home screen. Maybe worth a try?

Also, as mentioned above, you can call the store when you get there. No smart phone needed. They have signs posted at the parking spots reserved for pickup, the store phone number is posted on them. I imagine you could even call from home and tell them when you expect to be there, if for some reason you can't call from the parking lot.

I stay in my car and let the associate load the groceries for me. They no longer require us to physically sign the device either, so plenty of safe distance.

I hope this helps, and I'm wishing wellness for everyone.

PS - I love grocery pickup and have been using it for over a year.

Thanks! @Catlady Nicole

Yes, there is another 'Market' WM just further down the road from me. I sometimes go there whenever things are out at the Superstore. That one is just as busy! LOL! Boom town woes here in Colorado.

@SilleeMee Don't you have a computer? Just download the app on your computer. You don't need a smart phone.

Just got home from picking up my Walmart order. My produce is just perfect. They were out of the vanilla ice cream but that is not a necessity right now anyway. They included the nicest goodie bag with samples of Cheezit snaps, Rice Crispie poppers, Arm and Hammer detergent, a Zbar and a shelf stable package of Uncle Ben's Zesty Mexican Style Beans and a can cozy.

This is such a wonderful way to get groceries during this stay at home time.

@Kachina624

Yes, I placed my order online using my desktop today. Pickup is set for tomorrow when they will send me an email saying it's ready to pick up. I'll just call using my flip phone when I get to the parking area to let them know I have arrived.

@SilleeMee I do it at my laptop. THen we go to the pickup area and check in at the little kiosk with the order number we punch in, then they tell us which stall to go to

With the ap, it works almost the same way. Pick a Walmart with a good pickup area and the kiosk and it is much easier.

Re: Walmart Grocery Pick-up

SilleeMee — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 17:10:15 GMT

@Sooner

I know about that kiosk, I have used that numerous times. But my order is for fresh groceries which is a different kind of ordering process and pick up.

I used Walmart pick-up about two weeks ago before things got as bad as they are now. It was great. But when I tried to use it a week ago, they were booked up for the next week for both pick-up and delivery. I tried the three closest Walmarts and none of them were taking orders. After reading this thread, I tried again and I see that they are only booking today and tomorrow - and both days are totally booked.

I'm in a virus hotbed here in NOLA metro area, so all services of this type are overwhelmed. This morning I just went to my nearby grocery when they opened and did fine as far as getting everything I needed. But of course, I did get some exposure to other people.

@shoesnbags If I may, we are the "Baby Boomers" and a very large group. Always expect others to do what you do.

Hope you are doing better.

None of the grocery stores have any pickups or delivery. When I used to use Walmart pickup I would call them from my house and tell them I will be there in 5 minutes. I don't own a cell phone. They give you a phone number on the order to call.

Do you wonder if there will ever be a "Normal" again? I have been ordering from Walmart & Target for dellivery and it has proved to be excellent. However, I will still need to go to the store for toilet tissue, paper towel, milk, meat, poultry.
