      I ordered 380 dollars worth of groceries that didn't get delivered and was told that I have to wait 10 business to receive a refund. I live check to check and don't have 380 dollars to give Walmart to hold for 10 days and not have food in the house to feed my family. I spoke with ****** and ******* and they told me just to wait 10 business days and there wasn't anything they could do for me. I just want my money refunded for the goods not received.

      I purchased an online banner that was scheduled for pick up on 6/2/2025, but it was not there when I arrived on 6/3/2025 even though I got a confirmation email. I went back to the store on 4/4/2025 and when got the banner there were no hanging hooks, so my order was refunded and I reordered the banner in store but when I got home there was only 2 plastic hooks
      (I paid 12.00 for 4) and the banner is on paper not weatherproof paper which is in the description. When I called customer service I was told there is nothing that can be done for me and I need to go to the store and hopefully they can issue a refund which I do not have time to do as it is my daughters graduation from high school. I should not be more inconvenienced than I already have and am requesting a refund. This is such a mile stone that was ruined by the insensitive incompetence.

      I ordered 4 cases of 12oz cans of sprite at $9.99 from Walmart to be delivered to my home free of charge. I have never received it. They say it was delivered May 19th. I contacted them at 833-819-6500 May 28th & told them I still hadn't received it. According to them it was delivered at my mailbox by the road. I have a call ID number from that call- ******************* the gentleman I spoke with said he would contact the 3rd party seller and let them know I never received it. Still heard nothing. I contacted Walmart again today 6-4-25 to let them know I still have heard nothing or received my product. The gentleman I spoke to today (****) told me the last man I spoke to never contacted the seller and assured me he would contact the seller and tell them I never got my item. Walmart offered to return my money (only because they sell product for regular price $13.68.) I only ordered 4 cases because they offered such a good price. I told them to have Walmart honor the price because they carry this product in any store. They will not- They should not be allowed to sell products for a great price then deny sending them to you if the 2nd or 3rd party seller doesn't deliver. Especially if it is an item they have in store in stock at all times. They could issue me a coupon to pick them up free in store to honor the price. The name of the company the was supposed to deliver them is.... loft kitchen inc.

      I ordered a Queen Murphy bed from Wal-mart (order: ****************) for $296.79 after taxes. I never received my order. I followed your customer service channels and the 3rd party seller was supposed to resolve the issue. This did not occur. I was also told that this 3rd party seller has been flagged in the past for this type of issue. I'm upset that there is no transparency for the customer for less reputable 3rd party sellers. Additionally, since I made the purchase through the walmart website I expect support directly from Wal-mart. My expectation and what would resolve this issue is to have a replacement Queen Murphy bed delivered to my home as requested from Wal-mart even if it's through a different seller.

      Ordered a Nintendo switch 2 from Walmart on April 24th 2025. And the day before it releases they canceled it after sending an email about a payment error 30 minutes prior to cancelation giving me no time to fix whatever issue they had. All of this happened after receiving the same email less than 48 hours prior at 11:30pm and being on the phone with customer service for a great deal of time in the dead of night. I was told there was no issue with the billing and it was an error from their system and I would have no issue with my order. Turns out I had an issue anyway. I did also confirm with my bank before either of these calls that there was no issue with the payment and they even told me Walmart tried to bill me and then withdrew the request for billing. So they knowingly canceled my order and then blamed me for it on the phone saying I had insufficient funds and the only resolution they could provide was for me to "Try to order one in the future or find one in store"

      I’m extremely disappointed with how Walmart handled my preorder. I placed an order on April 25th and received confirmation at the time of purchase. The funds were withdrawn from my bank account immediately, confirming that my payment method was valid. However, just one day before the product’s release, Walmart abruptly canceled my order and attempted to blame the cancellation on an “outdated payment method”, even though my payment was already processed weeks earlier.

      After reaching out to customer service, they eventually admitted the real reason: the console I had ordered was part of a defective batch. While I understand product issues can happen, what’s unacceptable is the lack of transparency and accountability. If Walmart had informed me earlier, I could have preordered the console from another retailer. Now, due to the last-minute cancellation, the item is sold out everywhere.

      This experience shows a complete disregard for customers who trusted Walmart to fulfill their orders. I waited over a month, only to be left with no product, no clear explanation until I pushed for one, and no alternative options.

      On April 23, 2025, I placed a pre-order for the Nintendo Switch 2 through Walmart’s website. On Monday, June 2, I received an email indicating there was an issue with my payment method. I promptly updated my payment information with a new card, despite no clear reason for the issue with the original card. I also contacted Walmart customer service, who confirmed that my payment details were updated successfully and that a pending hold charge had been placed, indicating the transaction was valid and processing.

      However, on June 4, 2025, I received an email stating that my order had been canceled. I called customer service again and spoke with a representative named Aurille Kristine Dawn, who informed me that the cancellation was due to Walmart running out of stock. This explanation is unacceptable, as this was a pre-order, which implies a reserved unit was held on my behalf.

      When I requested further clarification, a supervisor told me the cancellation was due to a payment issue. However, this contradicts both the earlier representative’s confirmation and the fact that there was a pending charge on my updated card.

      The final explanation I received was that Walmart had no remaining stock to fulfill my order—but additional units would be available for general purchase tonight at midnight. This makes it clear that units do exist, yet Walmart is choosing to sell them to the public instead of fulfilling pre-existing commitments.

      Because I trusted Walmart to fulfill this pre-order, I did not pursue purchasing from other retailers. Now, not only is my order canceled, but I am left with no product, a pending charge, and no alternative purchase options, as other vendors are now sold out.

      Resolution Requested:
      Either: Fulfillment of my original pre-order as promised
      OR
      Reimbursement of $250 USD to compensate for my time spent resolving this matter and the inconvenience caused by the company’s failure to honor a confirmed pre-order.

      I pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle from Walmart through the app as soon as pre-orders went live on April 24th, 2025. When Walmart tried to charge my account for the pre-order, payment did not go through. There was no information about this charge according to my bank, even when calling, which leads me to believe this was a problem on Walmart's end. I received an email telling me to check my card information and I verified it was all correct. I then got another email a couple of days later saying the same thing, so I contacted customer support. They informed me that everything was working fine and they guaranteed payment would be successful. They next day I got the email again so I added another card to the account so payment could be tried with that card instead. Shortly after adding the second card my order was canceled by Walmart so I contacted customer support again. They said nothing could be done and all they did was give me a voucher for $15 off my next order of $25 or more.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: Walmart canceled my order due to issues on their end, not mine. I feel that when a business makes a mistake it is their obligation to make it right with the customer, and walmart hasn't even tried to do so. If a pre-order was properly placed and walmart couldn't fulfill that order, they should guarantee the customer an order when more stock is available.



      Sincerely,



      ***** ********

      Walmart received ***** ********’s rebuttal arising from his
      original Better Business Bureau complaint. We regret that we were unable to
      provide a satisfactory resolution to his/her concern and appreciate his
      additional feedback.
      At this time, our response remains unchanged, and Walmart

      comments, please feel free to contact us.

      I pre-ordered the new Nintendo Switch 2 on Walmart's website on 4/23/25 which is releasing tomorrow, June 5th. At that time, Walmart put an authorization hold on my credit card with no issue and the order was confirmed. On May 31st and again on June 2nd, I received emails from Walmart mere days before the item is to be released saying that I needed to update my payment method. This was very odd because my card had been paid off since I made the first initial purchase and I never received any kind of fraud notification from Chase Bank regarding this charge. I reviewed all the payment issue on the order and saw no discrepancies with my billing address, expiration date, etc. I received another email earlier today (June 4th) saying yet again that I needed to update my payment method. Given this was the third time I've gotten this email with no notification from my bank of any rejected charges, I changed the card on the order and was able to submit the changes with no issue. However, within minutes of submitting the new payment information I received an email from Walmart saying that my order was canceled.

      I immediately reached out to customer support and over and over again they kept saying that they had tried to process the payment and my bank did not approve it. However, upon checking with my bank, there were no charges made on either of my cards at that time. If there had actually been authorization attempts made, they would have been showing as pending on my account which they were not. This leads me to believe that the order was canceled for other reasons and not because my payment wasn't working, because as I said, I had no issue using this exact card in April when I initially pre-ordered the item.

      No customer service rep was willing to help me and they only told me to try re-ordering again when the console is released to the public on launch day. This is very unacceptable and I will think twice about reserving high ticket items at Walmart in the future.
