Walmart Not Giving Free Shipping For Every Item!

ECBG — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 21:52:27 GMT

I would let the list add up then get it delivered. So easy and convenient.

I can still do delivery, but now, it's $9.95 for delivery or you can do a year for just under $100.00 if you have a third party vendor item!

SO much for saving money.

I would have thought a lot of shipments would have enabled to raise their profits through better prices from their vendors.

Are you going to subscribe to their delivery?

@ECBG Not as long as I'm paying Amazon big bucks to deliver. I don't need two such services and they both carry pretty much the same merchandise. I predict Wal-Mart Delivery will take a dive as there are so many people with my attitude.

I always keep some Hormel shelf stable "Compleats" dinners on hand for times I'm not too hungry. I recently ordered a dozen from Wal-Mart. Eleven were promptly delivered; A few days later along came a delivery man with one lonely little $2. dinner. It no wonder they're losing money.

Now that's a mistake on Walmart's part. Who would choose 'Walmart Prime' over Amazon Prime? For pretty much the same price? It's not even a competition. Amazon offers so much more.

Walmart's online offering feels like an afterthought when I've looked at it. I rarely used it before, and would not use it now if it costs extra.

I quit WM shipping over a year ago. I ordered 11 grocery items and they arrived in 5 different boxes over 5 days.

One box containg only oatmeal was lost in transit over 3 days. They refunded my $. Finally arrived with the oatmeal box split open and oatmeal all over.

I do not plan on subscribing to Walmart's delivery service. I find it unfortunate that they have stopped the free delivery. I have a feeling that as long as they kept the free delivery over $35 policy that not many were subscribing to the delivery program.

I have two large Superstores very close to our home. I will just do curbside pickup. They are very efficient, and it takes only a few minutes to be there and back home.

I suppose if I need something from a 3rd party vendor, I will have to pay the $9.95. I am probably one of a handful of people in the country who refuse to use Amazon, so I am not paying for their service.

I just drive over and do my own shipping. Not one for shopping for anything on line.

Where did you find this information? I went to the WM app and still see free shipping offered.

Over two weeks ago I placed an order on Walmart dot com. I got free shipping b/c my order was over $35. I have yet to receive it! It has been delayed with OnTrac shipping for all this time. WM's CS told me to be patient and that my stuff will get here.

No way I'm paying for their 'prime membership', or whatever it's called, especially after that experience.

Look at this OnTrac tracking event log for my order. Ridiculous!!

I won't pay for shipping either. I have 3 Walmarts in my area and also, 3 Aldi's. I actually like shopping in store.

Have any of you noticed how terrible Walmart's site is? It changed several months ago. It is SOOO slow and it jumps all around. I left a review about it when asked "what did I think about my shopping experience?" I told them......not much!

I have no idea what kind of service YOU get from Walmart, but I can buy items on Walmart.com and get free shipping for items that total more than $35.00. I do this a lot. A lot. A lot. Matter of fact, just got a delivery three days ago of some pantry items that I like to keep in stock.

I shop their personal care items, pantry items and other things. Never food because there is no local Walmart near me for me to participate in this new program they are offering.

Posters need to double check what you just said, cause I'm not finding that to be true @ECBG .

Spend $35.00 and get FREE SHIPPING if your items are sold and shipped from Walmart.

@Porcelainthey do have a $99 Membership program for things like grocery, gas, pharmacy and other benefits. Similar to Amazon. They did not get rid of their free shipping to home as long as you spend $35.00 or more. Amazon didn't get rid of their free shipping of $35.00 or more either. You just won't get your products with speed that Prime Offers.

Of course it is. Free Shipping from their website, so long as the items total $35.00 or more. Just had an order delivered three days ago @Ainhisg

@gertrudecloset

Right now I have an order of toiletries, some placemats and other items, almost $100.00 and the SH won't come off.

4kitties — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 21:05:04 GMT

I just placed over $35.00 in my cart and it showed free shipping.

Maybe this is just for grocery delivery???

Yes, yes, yes. That annual thingy is for grocery delivery or curbside pick up among other things @4kitties . It also states that when shopping .com that you don't have wait to get up to $35.00 dollars for free shipping on other items (like Amazon). No minium. There are other perks to this $100 a year plan, but they don't benefit me since there is no Walmart near my area of the State.

@ECBG I just remembered fairly recently I had a similar problem with the shipping not coming off. It was a third part vendor. I deleted that item and got free shipping.

Walmart has disguised its third part vendor when they were once clearly labeled as such. Now you have to open the item and it will say something like fulfilled by.... I avoid any items that show 3 day delivery. It seems most anything Walmart is shipping is under the 2 day or less category.

I stopped having items shipped from WalMart awhile ago. Had several problems with them, mostly delayed shipping. Like, really delayed.

I like Amazon. My items always arrive on time, sometimes earlier than expected. Etsy is great too.

4kitties — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 21:21:26 GMT

When I shop online with Walmart, I check the filter on the left hand side of the page to show only items sold by Walmart. I do not want to buy from other sellers.

I place orders frequently and never have an issue with prompt shipping. I am in Illinois.

@On It

Thank you. I took some items out of the cart and the fee disappeared. Sneaky!
