I am from California, I ordered online at Walmart Canada last Dec 20,2024 to get a gift for a relative living in Saskatoon Canada, but until now they have not received the item.
I contacted the customer service when they sent me an email that my order is delivered to confirm that the item is not received. I was asked to wait up to 72 hours for the call but no call received, I gave them week before I made another follow up, they ask me again for another 72 hours to wait for the call but again no call is received. I made a call for the third time today to track my order and still no concrete answer is given to me and again was asked to wait for 72 hours for their call. This is supposed to be a Christmas gift, it is very frustrating and truly unacceptable service they have. It is completely unorganized. Very unreliable, will never trust to order from here again!

***Im trying to date my review on 12/20/2024 when I placed my order but its not accepting so I'm putting today's date

Tip for consumers:
They are unreliable, customer service does not know how to handle my query / concerns, their favorite line is “someone will call you in 72 hours” this is just to end the conversation and fool customers that their concern was handled well.

Terrible company who's online shopping needs to be completely rewritin. Multiple botched orders and the last one was my daughters birthday gift that took over a month longer to get here than was suppost to and when arrived it wasn't even the write thing. Highly overpriced just to ruin the order. Happens WAY TO OFTEN. Officially done with jokemart.

On Tuesday, December 17th, the 24 pack Great Value original wieners were purchased at the Walmart in Dufferin Mall (900 Dufferin Street) in Toronto. I have eaten wieners of different brands and types over the decades and the ones bought in Walmart were the most atrocious tasting ones by far. I do not know if it is just that pack but it would better that people do not buy them. I have talked to various Walmart employees about different issues, over the decades and found no help; in fact the impression I got that they do not care. There is no email address I could find on the website.

Tip for consumers:
No

Products used:
Nothing to replace the wieners

Walmart grocery online/telephone problems

I had similar problems as others. I was told more than once that someone would call me back in 24 hours. No one did and that was weeks ago. It is totally Walmart's fault about problems with their computer system. I had called Walmart. A recording included asking if senior or disabled to press 1 (which I did.) I am both and am housebound. They knew or should have known the general type of person they would be handling (but I think they do not care.)

I placed an order online via the walmart.ca website for a DVD boxset costing $44.99 plus $1.00 shipping plus HST as I am in Ontario Canada. This made the total I paid $51.84. This was purchased from a third party seller on their website but was returnable at any Walmart store.

Upon receipt of the item, one of the DVD's had a massive crack through it, so I returned it at a local Walmart where they were only willing to refund me the $44.99 plus the $1 shipping fee, hence my refund is only $45.99 of the $51.84 that I paid. Walmart is keeping the HST on the returned item as profit. This is the 2nd time they have done this to me and enough is enough. Both times they did this - I called their "customer service" who said they would escalate the matter, then they did nothing. This is not about the remaining $5.85 they owe me from this return for damaged merchandise, this is blatant theft. I will be filing a formal complaint through the Better Business Bureau as well as through the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Protection, this company is disgusting. Buyer beware.

Walmart is a joke 😂 I don't know what may cause a person to buy something from them. Recently, I purchased sth online, and they gave me a "fake" tracking number, which was regarding some random item of some random person living in some random place. Just crazy. Avoid for your mental health.

I recently purchased an expensive piece of electronics and accessories from Walmart online (CanadaShop). They package arrived and did not include all of the items in the order. Worse, the accessories that were included did not fit together. After several emails and time tracking down what to do, I decided to return everything for a full refund. Apart from taking a long time to get a refund, Walmart charged a restocking fee in excess of $100.00. I've been trying to reach out by email and get the same answer returned to me. I asked to be provided with a contact and means of contact to escalate the issue and still get the same email. I called an tolefree number and the moment I used the word dispute in the conversation, the line went dead. Walmart is a high risk business to deal with online. I recommend you look elsewhere first. If I could give a lesser rating, I would. Extremely disappointed.

Tip for consumers:
The refund policy makes no mention of restocking fee. Restocking fee makes no sense when supplier has failed to provide all goods and in working condition. Walmart has failed to provide necessary customer support for this refund situation and has failed to provide appropriate contact information to help resolve.

Products used:
Returned item for full refund

Stay Away from their electronics! I bought a Sandisk SD card from Walmart September 21 2024. I put the SD card on my camera and it was not reading. I returned the SD card to Walmart the morning of September 22. Literally less than 24 hours later and they informed me they cannot accept opened electronic devices. I wonder what kind of policy this is! I asked for the manager and asked her How do I get to know something is working unless I open it? After going back and forth with the supervisor because the manager had to rush for a meeting, I finally got approval for an exchange. Stay away from buying any electronics from Walmart because once you open it, as the manager and associates informed me, Walmart does not accept returns on opened electronics. So even if you buy something and it's defective, once you open that box, the loss is on you. If you care about your time and money stay away from their electronic products. The walmart I am talking about is 1045 Wellington Road London On.

Customer service would be able to convince some old person not technically savvy with their response for the rest of us they are absolutely clueless. If they find your online issue slightly difficult they waste your time hoping you get tired and hang up or they put you on hold for an inordinately long time.

Tip for consumers:
Have a competent help for online technical issues. Your phone app constantly has glitches which is extremely irritating.

Placed an order & was to be delivered 2 days later. Order was delivered, but to wrong address ( delivered to same address, but West rather than East) contacted both Walmart & FedEx (delivery company used) both told me that case was escalated. 3 days later somebody else signed into my Walmart account & made a purchase & changed delivery address to their address. Reported this to Walmart & to my financial institution. Recieved a call later that day from delivery driver & told him purchase was fraudulent and NOT to deliver, but to return item to Walmart. Then recieved text from same driver and again told him that it was a fraudulent purchase & to NOT deliver,but to return it to Walmart. Was told okay, no problem, but delivered it anyways. I'm now out almost $400, my bank account has been closed & I cannot even access my own funds & all I am being told by Walmart is that my cases are escalated and all I can do is wait.

I have placed an online order 2 days ago. The postal code in the delivery address appeared wrong and I had to call their customer service. I was advised that nothing can be done 30 minutes after the order was placed, but to email the third party vendor who was a seller, with the request to cancel the order.
And that is when it all started, it is a too long story. First I got overcharged by 2$,than refunded that and then charged again the full amount; all of it on the same day. Calling the Customer service, waiting and then being cut off... and being told again to wait another 48 hrs for the refund. Not a good experience! I do not think I will order online from Walmart again and would not recommend that to anybody!

After looking for a specific brand, boxed, frozen food item on sale, I asked for help from two "student-age" Walmart associates. They both looked at the Walmart flyer I had with me and directed me to the meat section. I looked there and couldn't see it. I went back to the two associates and they then pointed to a freezer with bacon and cold meat products, and again the product was not there. It would've been more appropriate for them to have found out where this sale item was located rather than sending me to look in multiple places where it clearly wasn't. I continued to look but couldn't find it, so I left without purchasing said item. This is not the first time, in this particular store, that associates do not assist customers. The location is the Barrie, Ontario store on Bayfield Street North. I will try another Walmart!

Tip for consumers:
It seems like the Associates do not know their product placement very well. They did not attempt to find out for me where the product was and sent me where they "thought" it might be. Not helpful! This store needs to prepare their associates better to assist customers.

Products used:
Couldn't use the product because I could not find in the store.

They sent a damaged item. Sent the photos twice via email. CS is giving a run-around. Asking to talk to a Supervisor to escalate. I was told they cannot patch me to the Supervisor unless the photos were sent. I sent it again and when they are trying to connect me, they hunged up. Called back and same routine. Customer service got Indian heavy accent and hard to understand. Gets frustrated when you want to repeat what they said. No wonder walmart is getting lowest review. You lost another customer in me.

End up using a damaged item.

I experienced the most unsatisfactory delivery service. The designated delivery timeframe was 11 am to 12 pm, but the driver arrived around 3 pm, consuming our entire day. Subsequently, upon arrival, he refused to wait for 5 minutes, displaying impatience in front of the building, where elevator usage takes time. Threatening to return the groceries to Walmart, he began unloading them outside, claiming inadequate payment for carrying them upstairs. Additionally, he criticized the quantity of our order, disregarding the convenience we sought through the paid grocery delivery service. This experience contradicted the purpose of a smooth transaction, and I hope this review reaches both the relevant personnel and potential customers considering Walmart's grocery delivery service.

I've been a long time customer of Walmart, subscribing for baby products that I received every few weeks. Recently, a couple of hundred dollar baby formula order was placed using my account. I contacted Walmart but they didn't take responsibility. I decided to contact them again several hours later; they told me the order doesn't exist in their records anymore. I see this as a serious matter and am surprised that it's not being addressed by the company unless there's something going on internally.

Their marketplace is awful, unlike Amazon, Walmart takes no accountability whatsoever for their third party sellers...my package was 3 weeks late, no one could tell me where it was, hidden fees caused it to be way more expensive than advertised price, packaged arrived opened, mangled and damaged, trying to return it was impossible. Worse customer service I've ever experienced. Walmart, go back to the basics, you'll never be Amazon.

Ordered over a month ago, package was supposed to arrive 2 weeks ago but it still isn't here. The tracking doesn't work (code keeps popping up as invalid) so I have no idea where the package is, reached out to both walmart and the shipping company and haven't received a response from either. Website doesn't even have a clear way to ask for a refund/new package for non grocery items

Was on the phone with customer service for over an hour, neither of us could hear each other properly and I was eventually hung up on and sent to a survey to rate them.

Hopefully I can sort something out with my bank instead because it was a pretty expensive mistake to order here, if you came across this site because the same thing happened to you I'd suggest doing the same because your package likely isn't coming

I bought two electric scooters through Walmart online and paid for fast/2-days shipping. However, after two weeks back and forth with very unprofessional and rude, Walmart's customer service just received one of the scooters.
After that, they took 20 days and had to call ten times to get my money back for the second scooter that I paid, and they never sent it.

The funny thing is they not allowing me to post a review about my experience, and they replied this:
Your review cannot be approved because it:
• directs business away
• shipping or fulfillment focused

A simple purchase took two months of my time, and it was a nightmare, and I never will try Walmart again!

I made a Christmas order in October and still haven't received one of the items and it is December. For such a large company customer service is atrocious. I have to chase them around for my money or order because they will not reach out to me. I will stick with Amazon or Toys "R" Us because I've never had this problem anywhere else.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t order. They are very disorganized and don’t even let you know if an item doesn’t come in. If it doesn’t you have to chase them around to get your item or money back. The customer service is horrendous and it’s really true - This company is only interested in their own profit margins.

Site is often inaccurate in terms of pricing and availability i. E. some items say they are available but when you try to purchase, there is simply no option allowing you to add to your cart. I have had many issues on their site and their customer service is even worse, took 5 days to return my call when the promised me 24 hours. It is obviously less 'crowded' shopping online but the frustration still lies in other areas. All in all, there will always be a 'cost' to the prices we want to pay, Walmart always has the best prices so have no choice but to deal with them.
