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.


@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

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

Re: Walmart No Longer Giving Free Shipping!

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.

Re: Walmart No Longer Giving Free Shipping!

@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.

Re: Walmart No Longer Giving Free Shipping!

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.

Re: Walmart No Longer Giving Free Shipping!

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!
