We placed an order for a bed through Walmart.com. They damaged it and had to return the shipment. As we re-ordered the bed, the customer service rep ASSURED me that they were going to compensate us by discounting the item. She continually GAVE ME HER 'WORD' that we would only be charged a lower price. On the credit card statement we were charged a higher price, and when I called to complain and get the money that the rep PROMISED us, they refused to give us the credit and continued to be rude. Moral of the story, we spend hundreds, if not more in Walmart and after this HORRIFIC experience with them, we will NEVER shop in the store or online through them again!

Always a show...
February 23, 2015

I love and hate walmart. I love that they have everything, I hate that they only have 3 cashiers working when there are 200 customers in the store. Overall they aren't going anywhere and neither am I!

I can't support a business who is slowly taking over the nation, who can't treat it's employees like people.

Not so bad.
February 22, 2015

I know a lot of people hate Walmart for various reasons. I sympathize with them, because they aren't lying. BUT they do have good deals for the most part and take returns without problems. So I am cool with them.

No stars! If Walmart stores were to receive an Enema the Palm Springs, Ca. Store would be where they would stick in the hose!

Satisfied online
February 22, 2015

I've ordered several items in the past. I have no complaints. They return the item if you're not satisfied. Sometimes I pick my package up@ the store. Satisfied with Walmart. The downside of Walmart. I don't care to shop there, only online. It's to big. Example - the toilet paper was on the other end of the store, with the food. I have to wait to long@ checkout for a few items.

Not Even Close To Amazon
February 22, 2015

I will use Walmart, com on occasion but it is not even close to the top of my online shopping list. Their website is not easy to use, can be to hard to find the products to use.

Their shopping time is horrendous! In their trying to save money shopping by their truck directly to the store, I have had to wait weeks to get an item, where with Amazon Prime I can get it within a few days direct to home.

Walmart sells at good prices, but not always at good quality. Here is an example. The wife and I were shopping there and I was showing her Hanes Mens Boxer Briefs. I bought a pack, then on the way home we stopped at Kohl's and bought a similar pack from them. Laying them out side to side, she could see the difference in the texture, the size of the opening for the legs and even the difference in the waistband. Saving $2 is not a savings when the product is inferior, is not comfortable and will not last as long.

Walmart could really be competitive, but they need to be willing to spend a little more in order to get the online customer base that Amazon has. The biggest difference is that Walmart is still thinking and acting like a big box store when in actuality, they need to consider their online sales as a separate business. Until they do, they will always have problems with their customer base.

As for price comparison, its more or less (a few pennies less) than other retail stores in the same league. Employees always look miserable or as if they wish you'd drop dead. Many online items are not at the store, waiting to be picked up or not available after they've assured you they were in inventory. This forces me to have to order with shipping and spend more on the item.
I hope not to go back there again.

I have purchased a number of large and heavy items from Walmart online. I have purchased several memory foam mattresses and bedframes for our rental properties. I got the best prices online and the quality was good (though one of the foam toppers was quite a bit smaller than the bed mattress, which I did not notice until it was too late to return because I didn't use it for several months). The shipping was free and very quick.

Walmart prices were typically lower than other online offerings, especially with the free shipping. Overall I had a very good experience with Walmart online shopping and only one issue over several purchases.

Great On Line Shopping Experiences at walmart.com. Items are as described. Delivered in a timely basis. Return is easy - as I always choose to bring it back to the store. Shipping charge is minimal.

You need it; you find it.
February 19, 2015

I had two pregnant daughters and thanks to Wal-Mart was able to find everything they needed and wanted in their nurseries.
The selection was great, the brand names were there so very little running around and why would I when I could get it all there.
I am so happy I have a Wal-Mart where I live and near where I work.

Limited selection
February 19, 2015

It is well known that if a supplier will not Wal Marts price that they won't carry their product. This creates a circumstance where you buy what they have or plan on more shopping stops. Another pet peeve is filling missing items with whatever is close so they don't have empty spaces. It results in searching for an item that's out of stock.
My biggest criticism is the inconsistent pricing. They were the low price leader but no more. You better know what things cost elsewhere or be ready to deal with price matching which isn't much fun. DVD movies and most batteries for electronics are cheaper elsewhere. I returned a watch cell battery that cost $6.50 at Walmart for one at Menards for $3.25. No price match because they were different brands.

Shipping sucks
February 19, 2015

My husband and i ordered two laptops and a ring from Walmart.com. The ring got here the day it was suppose to so no complains there. However it was a not fun when it came to the laptops. I paid for the express shipping and was told that the laptops would be here in 3 days. However the laptops didn't even begin to ship until the day they were scheduled to arrive. When i called to find out if they were going to be here i was told that they didn't know. IT's very irritating to order something from somewhere and they have no idea whats going on with it. Now they did go ahead and refund the shipping cost which was great. Basically im trying to say do not spend your money on the express shipping it seems to not be worth it.

Ok to good

OK to good at best on prices! They should lower the prices on the stuff they sell. Remember the working families that support you so reciprocate
