Walmart Delivery

Kachina624 — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 22:36:54 GMT

I got a small grocery delivery this afternoon. The skipped my milk and apparently didn't have an egg in the store.

I've always avoided presentations on QVC for bone broth. It sounds revolting. So guess what I got? Two BIG bottle about a quarter each of bone broth.

I left it outside hoping someone will steal it.

Was anything in the order correct, @Kachina624?

@Kachina624,

Double ick! I would be so grossed out.

I've found with the Walmart deliveries that sometimes they seem to not have the most ordinary things or things that I have seen in the store all the time. Or they didn't have the one thing that I really needed.

Still it's nice to have it when you want it even though it doesn't always work out 100%.

Make sure to get credit for that awful stuff if they charged you.

For me at least 90% of the time my order is correct but my last one wasn't. I am sure someone is wondering where their taco fixings are for dinner ,............

I'd never not go buy my own stuff.

Only way I would use that service is if I was recuperating from surgery or was incapacitated.

I'm too independent and don't trust others to do anything right.

@Kachina624 if you have a dog or knows someone who does, they will love bone broth on their food.

@Kachina624 When I order groceries, I order 2 half-gallons of milk and make sure they are 2 different brands. Once in a while, I'd receive milk with an expiration date just a couple days away. Getting 2 different brands seems to have solved that. If one is dated too soon, the other brand has a later date. In your area, maybe 1 would be in stock if the other brand isn't.

Maybe ordering 2 different brands of eggs would work. If one brand is out of stock, the other brand might be in. And eggs last a long time if you receive both.

The other thing I noticed here is that there are more items in stock in the middle of the week, perhaps because they had Monday to restock and aren't sold out yet like on the weekend. Idk. lol

Grrr. I want ALL the stuff I order please! It's the pits when they screw up. Thankfully it doesn't happen much for all my orders, but when it does it's always a doozy.

The last mixup was actually not them leaving something off my order, but delivering something I didn't order in with my stuff.

My DH was talking to the delivery guy and noticed there was a kit to wall mount a TV included. The conversation went like this:

"Oh hey, this isn't ours, all our TV's are already in place. We didn't order that"

"Well this is yours"

"I'm 1000% sure this is not meant for us"

"Well this is yours"

"Why is it marked with someone else's last name?"

"Well this is yours"

DH threw up his hands. I had to call WM and explain and they said "Well that's not yours(!)"

BUT they told me to keep it. I don't know how they make any $!

I don't need it and didn't order it - maybe I should be like @Kachina624 and leave it outside for someone to take LOL.

I have used Amazon Fresh for delivery for several years and I could not be more pleased. A rare error is usually quickly resolved with a refund or re-delivery. I know when I order if any of the requested items are out of stock and can indicate if I would accept a substitute. The fresh food (fruit and veg's) is of excellent quality and the service is prompt and efficient with email notice of impending delivery time within the two hour requested delivery window.

My only complaint is that I requested that bags be no heavier that 11 pounds and I often get bags heavier than that, which makes it difficult for me to carry them in from the porch. I try to be at the door when the delivery is made (they don't knock, per policy) and ask the delivery person to set the bags inside the door. They cheerfully do it.

A very reasonable and optional tip amount, depending on order size, is included in the online ordering process. I thought I might try another service some time, which carries some different items but -- after reading this forum, it will not be Walmart.

Love bone broth, Zoup chicken is my favorite. What kind did you get @Kachina624 ? I had an odd delivery yesterday morning from Walmart, it was returned to the store by the driver & I have no idea why, it's never happened before. The order was sent out again & delivered after 8pm.

I was watching a girl do this in store on Sunday and I thought to myself how easy it would be to place something in the wrong box. She didn't seem to be paying much attention to what she was doing even though she was scanning up a storm.

She caught my attention because it's what we do in the pharmacy, but there is a pharmacist checking to make sure we did it correctly before it goes to the customer.

Sounds like they need a checkout person of their own to make sure everything made it into the right box before it goes to you. That affects the delivery people's tips I am sure and they probably had nothing to do with it.

My hubby is a stickler for buying his own groceries, he would have to be disabled to let someone pick out his groceries, most of the time he doesnt even me wanting to do it, doesnt trust me to buy meats or produce. He is 75 and I am very lucky he can easily do this himself. He is in Wegmans twice a week.

I do curbside pickup b/c I want to see the items I ordered get loaded into my car. Only a couple of times have I seen something loaded that I didn't order and I immediately called it to their attention. Another time they loaded some cracked eggs so I had them removed. Overall it's been good. I only live a mile away from the store and my car needs the 'exercise'.

It is a great service especially for people who are disabled or sick or recovering from surgery.

There is no tipping with Walmart plus and "Home." because they use their own employees, not a 3rd party.

I like to go myself because I don't mind going to the store but I have really appreciated it the times I couldn't.

The things I don't like is the 4 hour window for delivery and also it takes me so long to choose things online! I start reading everything. You know ingredients and reviews and things. By the time I get through it seems like a day later lol!

I"ve had some great packers and delivery people and other times, there always seemed to be something missing that was out of stock but in stock when I ordered it online. I don't know why that happens.

@on the bay

I have WM+ but when I choose the 'delivery' option on the checkout page there is a tip automatically calculated into my total charges. So yes, there are tips for WM+ deliveries. If you order $35+ then you have the option to remove the tip.

Inexperience: Nobody knows nothin'...they make it up as they go. di

PS: Yesterday, it worked in my favor. I found a pair of Nine West® denim shorts. It was NOT a sale item...but the price tag said $4. The check-out lady didn't even blink...

@SilleeMee Even though tips are automatically included with Walmart + delivery orders, you do have the option to change the amount before placing your order.
