What Has Happened With Walmart's Delivery?

ECBG — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 02:00:27 GMT

I had run errands all day, and came home. I thought I would add items I buy at Walmart with grocery items I would be needing that weren't perishable and have them delivered.

I have had orders that reached $35.00 delivered in just the past few months.

There was no amount of merchandise I could add to my cart without a $9.95 delivery charge. They also suggested $7.00 tip for delivery.

I left the cart. Heck! I'll just go!

Anyone having any tricks for the $35.00 free shipping or anything close?

I don't want a $90+ delivery deal from them either, thanks.

I don’t, but I know quite a few of us here would recommend their pick up service. It’s very well run.

I just ordered like I usually do and went thru fine.Sorry you are having issues.Man that would not be good as I order bout once a week.Talk about pulling rug out from under you.

Your items are sold from Wal-Mart? The items that come from other places can set their own shipping it says.

Take care.Hope it gets straight so you can place order.Good Luck.

@ECBG I think you were ordering under the "express delivery" section, where there is a $35 minimum amount, but additional charges apply. If you were to just order from Walmart online with the normal "old fashioned" delivery from UPS or similar, you should have received free shipping.

There is always the option of doing the delivery service to your car when picking up at the store - that delivery is also free and you can schedule a day and time to pick it up.

I didn't click on express delivery. Can you just leap into express? I had no idea

I've used the pick up service for several years but thought there was always a charge for home delivery outside of a brief trial period. Somebody has to pay for the gas and insurance to deliver it.

I've gotten free delivery for a $35 order. Those were soap items and OTC pharmacy items but I had a few grocery items in pouches.

This time wasn't much different but had laundry items.

I thought poster was talking about Wal-Mart.com where you get 2day delivery & free shipping on $35 or more.

I use grocery pickup every week but nice to have porch delivery from .com for larger items like bags of cat food ,tp,& cat litter to name a few.Mine usually come by FedEx.

Thank you. You understood correctly.

@ECBG I'm not sure but log out and try logging in again - on the top left of their page, there is a pickup & delivery area right next to the dot com, maybe it just defaulted to the express and delivery option?

I just placed an order and got the free shipping with delivery in about a week.

I gave up on my home delivery from Walmart. I had almost $50 worth of stuff missing from my last order. I called Customer Servoce immediately and they did give me a refund.....but I wonder if they would if it happened again...

I got an order from Walmart dot com on Weds with toys for Christmas gifts for my Granddaughter. I realized one Barbie was one that she already had, so I took it back to my Walmart store with the printed slip. The Customer Sevice gal told me the description matched....but the UPC didn't. Well, that's what they sent me! I did get my refund, but she made me feel like I was trying to pull something on her....

I finished my shopping on Amazon...

Before you finish the check out @ECBG you can review the items in the list and it should show which item or items haave the shipping charge. I suspect there was at least one or two outside vendors providing some item(s) you selected.

When that happens to me I click on save for later for those item(s) and continue shopping to find substitutes if their removal doesn't hit the $35 dollars minimum before tax to get free shipping.

Navigating their site isn't the easest. Sometimes I open another window and items are still in cart and I can start a "clean" search without losing what I already had in my basket.

Sometimes despite me selecting deliver to home only they still show some items for store pickup only which I don't want since I don't drive. Same with "Walmart only" checked non W vendors are still shown. Their filters aren't the best.

Hope this helps.

Right now, I pay the $12 a month for as many deliveries I want ($35 or more) from WalMart. I wouldn't go into a Walmart or other big box store, aka petrie dishes, for anything these days.

My favorite grocery store offers online shopping and pick it up at drive-up. They put it in my trunk and there is no contact.

I usually buy non-perishables and dairy from Walmart. I'd pick up at Walmart but they make you go inside to get it. I buy meat and produce from my grocery store.

Last week I made an order, so I could get a dozen cans of pumpkin and a couple of other things (to get it over $35) and there was no shipping.

However, their packing could use some help. 5 of the cans were dented, 3 of which were severely dented. The box was way too large. At least they wrapped the glass jars of jam so they, miraculously, arrived in one piece.

I asked this question last night and it's gone... what is the advantage of joining some program for free shipping if there is still a $35 minimum order on those orders?

@VanSleepy

I've learned that some items work, some don't.

I wonder why is spray starch "pick up only"?

@ECBG There is a government site that lists that among paints and other items as being flammable because of the pressure it is under.
