My Experience With Walmart Online Shopping
Shopping online at Walmarts
Well I have to say my first online shopping experience with Walmarts was not the best. Below is how my online shopping experience went. I will explain as I go, but in the end as of Jan. 9th, 2012 it has all been worked out finally. And I will still shop online at Walmarts.com. The next time however I will have my order shipped to the store.

The following message was received on December 21, 2011 11:25 PM, by the Walmart.com Help Desk: First Name : Bonny Last Name : xxxxxx Phone : xxx-xxx-xxxx e-mail :xxxxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com Order Number : xxxxxxxxxxxx Comments : Look I am really tired of waiting for my order to come in the mail. It is way past the due date delivery. Where is my order? And please don't send me another standard shipping date email. I already contacted you guys at least 3 times about this order. If there is going to be a problem with this order, just give me my money back then... Items :Coleman Queen Double High Quickbed;
At this point I called Walmart Customer Service Department and as you can see from the email below. The Customer Service rep told me she would send me another order out. She said my order had been lost in Transit. Hummm...
Dear Bonny xxxxxx, December 23, 2011
Thank you for contacting Walmart.com Customer Service.
We have already started processing the replacement order requested for the
items listed below.
Delivery Information
You should receive an email soon that contains the delivery details for your replacement items, including the new order number, tracking number and delivery information.
Then on top of that email I got this one. First off they did not email me that the product was out of stock. I called Customer Service back again and spoke with a very rude man. He was not helpful at all. I don't think he liked his job, or was not trained right! He told me my card would be refunded in 7 to 10 days, and it was not. So I waited and waited...

Finally as of last night my issue with Walmart is solved. I called up Customer Service again and spoke with a very nice lady, and she was very helpful! She spent a lot of time handling my situation. That guy never put in for me to get my money back. The dirty rat. And because of all that I went through I will be getting a $20.00 gift card in the mail. I am glad that all worked out for me as I am a loyal customer at Walmart and I shop there every week. As I said earlier I will shop online again at Walmarts online shopping site, and I will have it shipped to the store next time. This way if anything goes wrong the store can handle for me.
