I bought one of their $45 deluxe shopping carts last year. The wheel broke when i tried to get off a bus with the cart. Walmart doesn't sell the replacement wheel's. The only place you can get them is through a 3rd party seller on Walmart website called ****** ********. As a consumer I feel uncomfortable dealing with 3rd party sellers as we don't know who we are dealing with or if we will even receive the paid for product. Walmart should be selling the replacement parts as they sell the carts. I called the Walmart call center to complain and the female agent refused to help me, would not let me speak to managerBusiness Response

On 25/1/2023 I ordered online from Walmart. On the same date, the tracking information stated from item ordered then shipped and finally got a email saying it has been delivered all in one day. I used chat function to contact Walmart as I have not received the item at all. The agent suggested I should wait till end of the day then call back if I still have not received it. On 27/1/2023 I called Walmart on the phone, first call the agent told me my credit card did not release the fund to pay and I should call credit card company. Five minutes afterwards, credit card company told me it has already been charged, I called back and started from beginning, this time the agent hung up on me after telling me to hold twice on the line. The third time I called, this agent told me it is the carrier who returned the item and nothing to do with Walmart. At that time, I told her I preferred them to send again and she said she is unable to do so but to advise me to reorder online.
So in one day the item was ordered shipped and supposing “delivered” and most importantly my credit card is charged and nothing received. I got 3 different replies plus 1 just hung up and none help to resolve the issue. Also Walmart in one day changed the price of the item. Is this false advertising? The order # *************
* ******** *** *** ************** **** *******.
This is most confusing and I need the truth as I have been told by 4 different agents giving 3 different answers with 1 just hung up.Business Response

I had ordered yesterday from Walmart.ca, January 26th, 2023. I scheduled and paid for a delivery between 5 and 6 pm EST. I have received notification my order is “delayed” and to contact customer service. I have contacted twice now, to no clear answer as to why my order is delayed or when it will be delivered, if even delivered today. They claim to be unable to assist me with this until tomorrow. They have already taken my money from my bank account and are refusing to provide a clear answer or solution to their failure to deliver on their products. I want my order refunded, or at least the $6.97 delivery fee, and the $3.43 for a driver tip, considering the fact the driver may not show up until 10pm and if they don’t arrive I’ll have to call back at 10pm to figure out why.Business Response

On January 25, 2023 I placed an online order #************* with Walmart.ca.
Order Summary
Subtotal
$75.35
E voucher
-$14.96
Delivery
$10.97
Taxes
$1.43
Total charged to card
$72.79
Walmart had an online promotion “savetime60” in which they offered a $15 discount on each of 4 orders over $75. They missed 2 delivery times. I had a chat session to find out when the order would be delivered. Walmart substituted the water with unauthorised, more expensive 12 packs. The chat agent apologised, refunded the water (return #**********), and the delivery cost as an apology. The next day the order was delivered, missing the almonds. I informed them that the order was missing the almonds. They cost $14.96 x3 = $$44.88. They said they would refund me the cost of the almonds and said the cost was $35.94. Walmart conflated the $15 promotion with the missing items while it was their fault that the items were missing. I asked for $44.88 to be refunded. They refused. I told a supervisor that I couldn't use that portion of the promotion on a later purchase, clawing back $8,94 of the promotion would make me lose it permanently, the promotion became a “savetime51.06”. He offered a $5 coupon, less than what I was losing. I was offered a $10 coupon. I asked for compensation for spending over an hour on this. He escalated it. I missed their call the next day. They left a voice message saying they were refunding me the cost of the almonds and that they had already given me a savings on the delivery with no mention of the $10 coupon. I called to find out the amount of the refund, $35.94.
Walmart didn't make it know if the bill dropped below $75 due to their mistakes that they would claw back the discount. I lost the use of the promotion. I’m not getting the full cost of my missing items back, they conflated 2 issues that were separately identified on the invoice and reneged on the $10 coupon. I want a full refund of the almonds and the $10 coupon that was offered.Business Response

At beginning of Jan, 2023 I tried to order a mattress and bedframe combo from Walmart Canada Online. * **** ******** *** ***** **** ** ***** ** *** ******** **** **** ** *** *** **** *** ** **** **** short time after the order I received Cancellation from Walmart. This occurred for total of approximately eight times as Walmart Online kept insisting my Debit Card was failing. After about four times, I placed the order with my bank on the phone with me and we saw the debit occurring successfully for $486.75. While I continued the conversation with ** ****** *****, about ten minutes later Walmart redeposited the funds back into my account. Trying to explain this to Walmart Online despite numerous escalations has fallen on deaf ears. Even as late as two days ago they insisted my card was failing. *** ******** *** ***** my purchase in-person at Walmart in Niagara Falls, ON on Jan 2nd when I bought comparable product along with a chair. Excluding the chair I am seeing approximately $100 more in total cost for mattress and bedframe. As a matter of fact, same Debit Card was used for the in-person purchase proving in fact my Debit Card was Not the problem. I have noticed over last few days neither of the two items ordered online are available anymore at Walmart Online but this too doesn't seem to matter to the managers I have been speaking to with them refusing to perform any adjustments. It is Very Obvious to me at this point Walmart had some sort of an issue in their backend processing the order and thus kept cancelling the order. My point is that they advertised these two products at certain price and refuse to honor that price for comparable products at the store which caused me approximately another $100 as well as well over two days time total in not only having placed the orders about eight times on Jan 1st but then way too much time in attempted resolution. I am requesting adjustments for extra money paid and reimbursement for the aggravation causedBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:The response received from Walmart was 'Customer was contacted' without anything further. Even prior to reaching out to BBB, Walmart Online Dept has followed up on each of my attempts to obtain fair resolution by casually dismissing my concerns. In the complaint filed with your office, I proved it was not my payment method but a back-end order processing issue at Walmart since I used the same Debit Card at in-person purchase as I had online. They are simply in mode of providing cursory responses in hopes the customer goes away. I ask for Walmart to honor the price I would have paid online and reimburse me for all the aggravation/time since. I made the mistake to choose Walmart for this purchase and want Walmart to honor what the price they advertised on Dec 31st for the frame/mattress combo. Thank you for your help in obtaining some sense of fairness at Walmart.

Hello,
I placed an order on Walmart.ca online , order # 2232335000240. I received the item ( mattress topper) and am very disappointed . The topper appears as if it was unevenly cut , does not fit appropriately over the bed and there is an overlap . It clearly looks like an item that was returned and put back into circulation . I contacted Walmart , told me they couldn't refund me and can't even return the product . They told me to contact ***** ( the manufacturer) which I did, and they told me they cannot help me with this item since it was sold by Walmart . I contacted Walmart again to let them know . They offered me no resolution whatsover . I am trying to email the company ( Zinus) and it doesn't allow me to submit my complaint . I made sure when I ordered that the item is sold and fulfilled by Walmart , which it was , as I do not like to purchase from third party sellers .Business Response
