Walmart is playing with me at this point.
No refund for $60 ecoupon and won't provide a coupon code as I have asked for weeks.
Told in spam folder but doesn't exist
Please have Walmart credit my credit card at this point as I've wasted hours trying to get them to honor a coupon I am entitled to..
Spent 40 minutes on phone Friday calling for help using "non existent coupon code". Only to be HUNG up on not once but Twice !!!
Customer service is rude and of no service at all
At this point I want a $60 credit applied to my credit card as they are useless or trying to make me give up trying.
Please help me get the $60 they owe me for not honoring their save60 couponBusiness Response

RE: Order#*************
Name: ***** ****** Email Address associated with the account: ***********@******com
Dear Customer Service Team,
I am writing this email to express my disappointment with the service provided by your company. On April 20th, 2023, I placed an order from my account and requested that it be delivered on April 21st, 2023. However, I was surprised to learn that the order had been canceled without any explanation. This was extremely frustrating as the order was important and required for a specific purpose.
I am extremely disappointed with the level of service that I have received from your company. I have ordered from my wife's account on multiple occasions, and this is the first time that I have received such bad customer service. Canceling my order without giving me any valid reason is not how you should treat your customers.
On April 21, 2023, I contacted the customer service department at 1-800-328-0402 to inquire about my order status. The representative I spoke with was unable to provide a clear explanation as to why my order had been canceled. Despite my repeated requests for him to follow up with the store, he placed me on hold and later informed me that they could not locate either the order number or my name in their records.
When I requested that the matter be escalated, he assured me that he would connect me with his supervisor. However, after waiting for five minutes and being put on hold, nobody picked up the phone. Eventually, I had to hang up with no resolution to my issue.
I am requesting that you provide me with compensation for this appalling service. I would also like you to ensure that this type of incident never occurs again in the future. As a loyal customer, I would like to believe that my emails and orders are valued and that my satisfaction is a top priority.
I hope that you will take this complaint seriously and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.Business Response

I purchased a *********** * online recently and chose the installment option since it was a big purchase. Order was delayed by more than 2 weeks so had to follow up since it was showing that it was delivered at the store.but I still couldn't pick it up. Saw that it was fully charged on my credit card even before I could pick it up so had to call customer service to escalate it to a manager and they told me that I'll expect a call from a manager soon. After 2 days my console was miraculously available for pick up but when I spoke to the manager he told me that only the walmart mastercard department could help me with my psyment installment problem. Called walmart financial and they said that since walmart canada was the vendor then I needed to sort it out with them and then called again to speak to a manager that said.he was going to escalate it to tech support since it's probably a glitch in the app. Just got a message today saying they could not help with the problem. So frustrated with being promised something and being tossed around. It's like walmart is purposely trying not to help so that I'll get tired and give up.Business Response

I accidentally paid $2,000.00 on my closed Walmart credit card ($0 balance) on January 23, 2023. I contacted Walmart, my account was reopened, however the $2,000.00 I accidentally paid is not showing on my account. After multiple calls to Walmart, I have still not been able to resolve this issue. As per Walmart, I contacted the issuing bank and was advised that there was nothing that could be done aside from reopening the account, which I did. The CSR hung up on me.
I contacted my bank, they investigated, however, they were unable to resolve the issue stating they were unable to get a response from the bill company after several attempts.
Needless to say I am frustrated from the lack of assistance and I am simply requesting my money back.Business Response

I ordered groceries online for delivery. A number of items were missing. I requested refund online and my account was suspended/closed. Walmart refused refund and refused to deliver my missing items.
Customer service representatives were rude, disrespectful and unhelpful. Refund issued should be $45. (Out of my total bill of $415)Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:customer service continues to tell me that they are looking into this. No action has been taken on businesses behalf. My refund was not issued, and my product was not received. My online account was suspended prior to issuing me a refund or giving me my missing products. Looking into why my account was suspended is a lost cause and I refuse this response. My credit card was unlawfully charged for an item that was not received, and Walmart is refusing to provide a refund. Further action will be taken on my part if a refund is not granted.

Bought an electric wheelchair for a disabled family member through Walmart.ca. Product received did not match specs on the site and build quality is atrocious. The website listed a regular price of over $5000, and a sale price of $1999. The wheelchair doesn’t even come close to meeting performance and quality of a comparable $5000 wheelchair. **** ** ***** ********* ** *** ******* *********. The product would be hazardous for a disabled person to use. For these reasons I wrote to Walmart and requested a return.
I have requested a refund over a week ago and I haven’t received any response from Walmart. I have attempted to contact Walmart several times about this to no avail.
For the reasons above, I am formally filing a complaint against Walmart and it’s affiliated third party vendors. It is unacceptable that I have to go file a formal complaint in order for Walmart to address concerns. This happens every time I have an unsatisfactory experience with Walmart. I have to waste significant time dealing with Walmart incompetency. Therefore I require a payment/refund of the full $5000 list price of product since that’s what they think the regular price should be.Customer Answer

I was convinced by high pressure staff at ********* ****** to sign up for their credit card, to save on my groceries. I paid off the bill in total but ever since then I have received bills from them: the first for 2 cents, which I sent a nickle in the mail but customer service claims not to have received it. The staff who handle Walmart's credit cards were extremely ignorant, and rude. Then, I received a second bill for 2 cents, which I paid 5 cents again at Customer Service, ********* ******, (***** *** *********** ****** *** ****** ** **** ** *** *****). Today I received a bill from them for 3 cents. I tore up their **** credit card, and they are still harassing me.Business Response

I received an email notification on March 24, 2023 about a very large expedited grocery order on my credit card which I did not place for over $500. I live in ********** and the order was placed for pick up in a *************** store which is 45 minutes away. Since all my interactions have been with Walmart in *********** I used this as the BBB location. I called Walmart a few minutes after receiving the email to notify them. They were very nice but did not follow through even if they said they would cancel the order. If they had followed through there was enough time to stop this ***** which could have been averted but there was no due diligence. On April 12 I received a letter stating the charge for the fraudulent order was charged back to my credit card. I never gave my credit card or NIP to anyone, but the thieves seemed to have them. This charge needs to be removed from the credit card. * ******* *** ***** *****, but there are others concerning the order being ready, items substituted/cancelled and a refund of $13. * ******* ** ***** ****** ** ******* ***** * **** **** **** * **** * ****** ******. I can provide all emails if you need them. Thank you very much for your support, it is much appreciated.Business Response
