It's been just over a month since it was introduced. Anyone here using Walmart Plus? I did a 30 day free trial but forgot to cancel. Got my dates wrong so now I am stuck with it for a year. Oh well, at least gas is cheaper, though I have to drive to another town and can get out of the store a bit faster. Maybe they will add more features making it worth it.

Walmart recently made all soft drinks unavailable for grocery delivery. You are still required to buy at least $35 worth of grocery, so this is a real bummer.

My experience with Walmart’s online ordering is that it has been slow and the inventory count isn’t accurate. Items sometimes remain in “processing” status well past the projected delivery date. Sometimes they cancel orders without explanation. One order I had was for four items. They cancelled the order and refunded me for one. Customer service told me to please wait 24 hour for the remainder of the refund. 24 hours past, no refund. Then an apology and an assurance of a refund in 48 hours. Didn’t happen. They refunded but only after multiple sessions with a CSR. Amazon is better at delivering goods and the few issues I’ve had over years were quickly made right. Competition is good and I hope Walmart improves. But as it is now I’m not likely to renew my + account.

Don't sign up for Walmart+. I did it by accident (I don't know how, but they make it hard to avoid), and after 15 days they billed me $98 for an annual membership. I have canceled that (the Walmart online rep was very helpful) but I am in doubt about ordering online from Walmart, because I have no desire to become enmeshed in this foolishness again. Pay a shipping charge instead, and be careful about clicking on "free shipping."

On the other hand, I have had no problems with wrong orders, unreasonable delays or customer service after delivery. I had a recliner arrive with an arm that I could not attach because the arm did not have the hardware. I glued the arm on with Gorilla Glue, told them about it, and they refunded my money, so I have a free recliner.

I loved that Walmart+ was available during the beginning of Covid and tgat I didn’t have to go shopping with my 3yr old granddaughter. But , 7 months into my membership, I was ”banned” from online shopping w/Walmart. The reason they gave me was “returns violations”. Only problem is, I have NEVER returned anything to Walmart, seriously. As it turns out, when they deliver to the wrong address, bring your groceries hot (milk at 68 degrees), or just leave something out(which is frequent), you are violating their returns policy. (That is, if you ask for your money back). I spend hundreds of dollars a month there and I explained it to them, filed a complaint with BBB. They reinstated me after some unpleasant tweets. Yesterday, my ordered was missing 7 items ($32.49). I called and explained, asked for replacements (denied), and refunded. Today, I am banned again. No refund on membership fee, no talk, no email, no letter. Just can not EVER shop online with Walmart again. Think twice my friends, think twice.

Wow. Don't buy this.

I got walmart+, inhome service because there aren't any tips on deliveries so it looked incredibly cheap on paper. And employees in a van, not some guy putting groceries in their trunk.

Worked great while I was on the trial. Right after that ended, they did a no-show two out of three grocery delivery days. First time, 9am-1 delivery window, nothing, no message, no call, nothing. The second miss was for the same time window, and I got a text at 5:30pm saying "we're late, but we're still on our way". When nobody was here by 9 PM, I called the store. No answer. Called the 800 line, they said they'd call the store and reschedule for the next day. Early next day email from customer service saying "The store said they could not reschedule".

Call the inhome # at the local store, eventually get someone in the corporate office that tells me "They couldn't get a driver those days, and then you canceled the orders". Nope. I canceled nothing.

Called to talk to the store manager. "They aren't in. We don't know when they'll be in. They set their own schedules. Try back after 10, maybe 11?" It was 9:30.

They did refund my walmart+, but when I asked for a refund of the annual inhome fee, they offered a "pro-rated" $3 out of 40, for something I hadn't used for a month paid out of 12.

It'd be terrific if they actually showed up or didn't oversubscribe the employees, or perhaps the employees just figured out that nobody was in charge of the chicken coop, and they could just not do anything all day without consequences or oversight? No idea. Either way, they aren't equipped to handle the service that they're selling.

Just wanted them to do doorstep delivery too, nothing fancy like bringing it into the house.
