The experience couldn't be better in comparison with our experience on two orders with Instacart. We've been using the Walmart grocery website every week for two months. The Walmart website, https://www.walmart.com/grocery, is quite usable with some odd quirks, searching for items is pretty usable. Meeting the $35 minimum is not difficult, just use the "reorder option" to reorder the previously ordered items. Then as you add new items, delete any unwanted items from the previous order as you add items to the next order. Keep in mind in order to secure a P/U day and time slot, you need a $35 minimum order. I always try to chose a P/U time slot early, so it is convenient for ME. Securing a pick up time and day is no longer the crap shoot it was when we started shopping on-line at Walmart in early June 2020. The P/U days and time slots usually include the next 4-5 days, with times from 7 am to 8 pm at our store in Cranberry Twp., PA, USA,
Prices of the food items are, as far as I can tell, the regular shelf prices, no apparent up-charging like Instacart did for our orders, no tips, no service fees, just pay for the food at regular store prices!
The only issues we've had were with some items being out of stock and their "substitute" option items. The substitute chosen by Walmart's shopper may or may not be what you would have chosen yourself.
Two examples: we ordered Whole Wheat Hamburger buns and more expensive white flour buns were substituted at the same lower price as the original selection, no screwing you on price and indeed actually cutting you a deal, unfortunately, I try to keep to whole grain breads! We also ordered a pound of radishes and got a bunch of radishes that were far less than a pound, but the charge was the regular price for the radish bunch, not the higher price for the larger package.
A real bonus, if you need something from the non-food part of the store, it can be added to the food order just by searching for it on the grocery site and adding it to the order. For example, just last week, I added a 5 qt bottle of Mobil 1,0w-20 motor oil. There was no problem, it came out with our grocery order. In a month or so our cats will need another 35 # bag of Cat Chow and we will order it from Walmart.
One of the real pluses are the people (all sorts, from kids who look 14 to retirees trying to make few bucks) who bring the groceries out to your car. Walmart Grocery Delivery have been unfailingly polite and careful to discuss any substitutions and to remove them and give credit if we chose not to accept the replacement item, They have been careful when loading everything into your car. They have never put the potato chips on the bottom and the oranges on top. They put our milk and refrigerated items in our "cooler." One thing to mention is that the store has created about 10-12 stalls where we pull in during our assigned one hour time slot, phone the posted number, someone answers and takes our name, then within about 5-10 minutes we see our groceries packed in milk crates being dragged out on what looks like a kids wagon and in another 5 minutes we are on our way home.
We are in our eighties and are not going into a store to shop until there is a COVID-19 vaccine.
I am literally totally astonished at how good this P/U service is at our store, it is as if they actually were concerned with their customer's satisfaction. They have gone above and beyond to please us. For example, I had a problem using the ordering system and called, after a short wait, my call was answered and the issue resolved.
FWIIW, I am not easily impressed with the performance of most stores and don't usually give a good 5 star review!
I have to say that after switching to INSTACART I am paying more, but I am also getting more out of it, and getting what every customer should be getting regardless of location... quality goods, real deliveries, no thefts (yet), ON TIME deliveries some even *gasp* EARLY, and most importantly polite and professional workers.
First of all, even before the pandemic, their delivery service was awful. Of course, it had not been too long before Walmart Grocery Delivery had begun the process of implementing it company-wide, so I figured a few glitches were to be expected... only here it is more than a year later, and things (still) S U C K.
They suck SO much, that I began supplementing my delivery orders with orders from OTHER grocery services such as HEB delivery, and just today, FiestaMart through Instacart.
Sometime after our fourth or fifth 'supplemental order' from HEB, I decided to complain about the awfulness of Walmart's Delivery service and emailed WalMart's executive office, including images of our HEB receipts. I was contacted by one of the local managers who assured me that they would look into it and try their hardest to resolve the issue. They never have.
THINGS LITERALLY GO AWRY WITH 99.9% OF THE ORDERS, and one really has to stop and wrap one's brain around HOW this can be. I bet that if they TRIED to actually get it as WRONG as the normally do, they'd probably fail at that, and would actually IMPROVE, since there is no way they can get worse.
Case in point, my experience on JUST MY LAST THREE orders:
Order 1: Received only about 1/3 of what I ordered. Called in and was told the driver probably left my items with another customer and that they would send out replacements. Replacements were mostly out of stock.
Order 2: Order was placed for delivery the following day between 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. (only slot available). At 8:34 p.m. the next day, no delivery, no update, no receipt, no contact, - nothing. Called the main number and was told they were closed for the evening and to call the following day. Called the following day at 9:00 a.m. and was told to call yet again, "later", because the agent could not get through to anyone at the Pickup and Delivery Dept. (Seriously). Called again, no one at store available. Called again and asked for a supervisor, but agent said she could try to help by calling the store itself and getting the GM. Was on hold for a while, and while no one came back to the line, while waiting, I did receive a text saying that the order had been canceled by the store. What happened to my items and do I have to go through this again to receive them?... Insanity!
Order 3: (Today) Received less than half of what I ordered, but did receive an 'update' to say they were "Out of Stock" on a couple of things and could not fill them and that they would be refunded - BUT ON TOP of the not-in-stock items, MORE items were missing (had not been sent, but were charged)!
The entire thing is simply maddening.
One of the issues, too, is that I cannot CHOOSE the store I want to order from in our area, despite customer service telling me that I should be able to. I am relegated to this one ridiculously AWFUL Walmart store which has no inventory to begin with, just pages and pages of "Out of Stock" items. Then, to add insult to injury, EVEN IF something says that it is in stock and it ALLOWS you to add it to your cart, upon trying to check out, the order is normally STILL kicked back with a notice of "We are sorry, but so-and-so item is no longer available. Please remove it from cart or pick a new delivery window."! When this happens, due too a glitch of some kind, I guess, you HAVE to go ALL the way back to the beginning after removing the item, then go through the process of picking your payment method again, choosing which items you'd prefer substitutions on or not, etc., and hope that while you do that, ANOTHER item doesn't become "unavailable" or "out of stock".
NOW, if you think that's it, HA! Again, after all is said and done and your order of supposed in-stock items has been placed, 99.9% of the time you still have missing items upon receipt of your order, not due to the reasons already covered, but because simply, they WERE OUT OF STOCK.
It's almost too exasperating for words.
Hopefully someone will take this new wave of the future which is here to stay, that being GROCERY DELIVERY, and will learn to do it right, because WalMart has had nearly two years in which to work the kinks out, and they haven't.
After the very first order, none of the deliveries were complete. The second-order, Walmart Grocery Delivery mixed up my order with another person's order. However, again, she called when she arrived and had me meet her downstairs. Everything was perfect besides, they'd messed up on the order. I figured that happens and I just let them know... When I contacted customer service, they couldn't help, twice. They forced me to place the order again and had me wait for 2 days before the delivery.
They claimed management would contact me. I haven't heard from management.
None of my orders have come complete as ordered. NONE... most of my requests did not have replacements, and, after the first delivery, the ones that had replacements were unacceptable.
Then, 2/16/2021 upon my previous orders I began to notice that all of my deliverers have been African American through food stamps. All of them. I began to think about it. I felt like someone was aware of the complaint, however, I said nothing. I know that someone could comprehend my thoughts as when almost every other delivery person through food stamps was dark skin or African, and did most everything perfect... called when they arrived, waited for me downstairs, and gave me all that was available; The first caucasian American out of the food stamp delivery walks in the hotel, walks right past hotel security up the elevator, and knocks on my door during the pandemic emergency, in a hotel full of homeless. Mind you, that this security breach took place the day after someone was on my floor complaining that there was a stabbing in the building, yesterday.
The delivery service itself is cut price and unprofessional. It's just freelancers in their own cars, which in my opinion is an unsafe way to carry fresh and frozen grocery products. For the money they charge, I would expect Walmart drivers in Walmart branded refrigerated vehicles.
One guy turned up while I was outside my house, so I helped him grab a few bags to get everything in quicker. The bags were mixed up all kinds of crap in his trunk (including socks) and his own shopping in Walmart bags!
Another time, when the bags were left by the driver they stunk so badly of marijuana that our kitchen stank of it for two days after we unpacked the groceries. What the driver does in their own time is their own business, but how Walmart could allow themselves to be associated with this level of unprofessional an just to save some bucks is astonishing. I don't know if the groceries stank because the driver was smoking in the car, but if so, do you want that person driving onto your driveway?
I have had 3 bad experiences and I have complained to Walmart corporate about it 3 times now. The latest was last night. My order of 6 items was divided into 3 parts with 3 different drivers. How inefficient is that? The app can only handle tracking one driver at a time, so I have no idea when the other 2 drivers are supposed to arrive. I have to wait around at my house for 3 people to arrive over the span of 4 hours because porch pirates are rampant around here. The app gives me wrong delivery time estimates all the time. They usually arrive 1-2 hours late. 1st part comes, 2 of the items are missing. I have to get on chat support for a refund. 2nd part comes, what is delivered is actually the part 3 order, but part 2 is marked as delivered, and the item is missing, so I have to get on support chat again for another refund! 3rd part of the order is never sent a tracking number but gets marked as delivered. So on an order of 6 items, I only received 3 of them. Now today I have to go to a store to get the missing items, which totally negates why I use online ordering in the first place.
On top of that, I was charged a "beverage container fee". Well the beverages weren't delivered in any kind of container, they were just dumped on my doormat, so that whole fee thing is a rip-off. The whole experience was stressful, infuriating, and a huge waste of my time. Unless Walmart gives me a way to opt-out of this service, I am going to stop using them and shop at Target instead.
DISPUTE WITH MY CITI CREDIT CARD FOR FRAUDULENT CHARGES BY OCEANSIDE CA WALMART AND NOT RECEIVING ITEMS. WALLY SENT CITI CREDIT CARD A SALES RECEIPT THAT READ ORDER WAS "PICKED UP". CITI CREDIT CARD DID NO RESEARCH SUCH AS PROOF OF WHO PICKED UP ORDER SO CITI CARD SIDED WITH WALMART AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE "PICKED UP"=STOLEN ORDER. NEXT STEP IS TO FILE POLICE REPORT AGAINST WALMART AND ALSO REPORT TO CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU AGAINST CITI CREDIT CARD. UNLIKE 1000'S OF OTHER DISSATISFIED WALLY CUSTOMERS I WILL STILL SHOP THERE BUT CASH ONLY. I LEARNED A RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE LESSON ABOUT CREDIT CARDS, DO NOT BELIEVE THE "YOU ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR $50 LAW" BECAUSE THAT IS ONLY IF YOUR CREDIT CARD SIDES WITH YOU AND IN THIS CASE CITI CREDIT CARD DID NOTHING TO RESEARCH THE SITUATION (Walmart Grocery Delivery MAY NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY BUT JUST THE SAME YOUR GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DOLLAR AMOUNT OF FRAUD UNLESS THE PERSON WHOM COMMITTED THE FRAUD ADMITS IT. BEWARE/BE WARNED. I MIGHT OF EXPECTED THIS FROM A ONLINE OVERSEAS MERCHANT BUT NOT A LOCAL OCEANSIDE CA WALMART. WHETHER IT WAS A CLERICAL ERROR OR WALMART INTERNAL EMPLOYEE THEFT I AM PAYING MY MONEY FOR THIS INJUSTICE.
Placed an online grocery order 11/17/21 paid for expedited services and received confirmation delivery time before 5:56 pm.
Email Notice received at 5:54 pm order delayed. Contacted Help Center at 7:00 pm was told order would be delivered by 10:00 pm. Order was not delivered and no updates by 9:45 pm, Called Help Center and was advised my order would be delivered on 11/18/21 between 8-9am. 11/18/21 10{40 am No order no update. Contacted Help Center (again) advised order would be delivered. 12:27 pm Notice received I had cancelled the order. I never canceled my order. Another call to the Help Center, only to be told the cancellation was done by driver (?) Money taken from my account by Walmart, yet no groceries and no other options being offered. All attempts to reach anyone at the store have all gone unanswered. For those who cannot afford to wait 7-10 days for a refund in order to purchase food elsewhere... I would not recommend using this service, it is not worth the risk or inconvenience. Time to eat will not understand!
Over and over, Walmart can't deliver the goods and then blames it on another company while Walmart Grocery Delivery cheerfully charge my card every month. Walmart is not holding up its portion of the contract. I see a lot of Walmart advertisements that purport to watch out for their employees, communities, and small businesses. You can't support those if you don't have customers that feel that they are supported. I have challenged them to discuss the issue with me, but I am not very optimistic that the mega-retailer gives a hoot. I will of course update this if they do follow up.
