“Worst delivery service for online Grocery”

Gurinder S.
1/20/24

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.

At your store in northgate edmonton, rudest people in all of canada. No carts, no riding carts for the disabled. They just looked on and did nothing while we cried in pain cannot shop without a car. You have no consideration for the disabled. Tried to complain. Your people would not even pick up the phone. Hundreds of carts out in the parking lot, but employees too lazy to bother to even go out there and get them. They did not even try to help or sympathize\your disability policy\i would say constitutes harassment which is now considered to be a tort by the supreme court and the courts of canada.\ you should not be doing =business in canada with so little regard for the elderly and for the disabled.\i think this is very hard to understand. Why are you not having reviews on your sites when other businesses do have reviews.\
Not reasonable and or fair\
Not consistent with the laws of disability incanada.\
Not fair.

Tip for consumers:
this was the worst treatment of the disabled \i have ever seen in my life. ...................

Products used:
none because they were so discriminatory to the disabled and horrible service ............. did not want to help the disabled.

An error in an original canvas collage print p/u before Christmas. One print was missing their head. To try to correct, received instructions from photo processing. Instructed me to return to store I had received collage and call photo dept with confirmation # given from photo processing. On calling photo processing from Walmart, I was then asked where my canvas print was? This detail had not been relayed. Communication is paramount. Since the order was online and obviously the personnel had access to editing, I would not assume further information was required.

We're in the car headed to Walmart, listening to a CD of stubbornly adhesive children's songs requested every time I get in the car with my four year old daughter, Jade. Her year-and-a-half old sister, Romi silently approves of her taste in music from her buckled bliss two seats over. All windows down to mediate the humidity in our air conditionless cruiser, and we're off. As we roll past construction I unwittingly mouth the lyrics to 'frog trouble' and buzz my window up to stop some of the dust from getting in. A humongous underpass is being built so drivers won't have to wait for the trains. It will take two years of unrelenting yellow metal drilling to complete this transformation. I turn up the volume. I'm belting it out now.

We're going to the big blue box to pick up a new stroller. I've been notified that it's ready this morning, and I'm not wasting any time in picking it up. Despite my strong aversion to getting excited about things for babies, I'm looking forward to this.
Once I park, I get my sweaty, rosy cheeked children secured on hip and hand and obediently call the number I was given to claim my item. (Three arms would be nice here.) The automatic doors save me from wishing for a fourth and woosh us into the cool relief of the store. I'm still on the phone and can now hear the music and store-wide announcements echoing through my speakers along with a helpful voice assuring me he'll be with us shortly.
We wait beyond the checkout area as instructed and watch the shoppers churn through with their new items. Jade stares in silent study of the operation, surely taking mental notes to up her game at home. Romi clutches me loosely but resolutely as we continue to wait.
Through the beeps and blue vests comes a man holding a box the size of a cat. He has a black moustache and brown skin and wears a slightly bemused expression. We say hello and successfully match who I say I am to the name on the box. Then we share our disbelief that the stroller - despite being called the 'mountain buggy mini' - could fit into the light box in his hands. I half-hope-half-joke that it could be a very compactly folded stroller and he gives me an apologetic look and suggests we find out. I set my baby down and crouch beside him, the box in the middle of us, now all four at the same eye level. I tear into the package, sure at this point that it could be a wheel or two at most.
I rip into the inevitable and reveal… a kitchen pot.
Not even a nice one.
We look at each other and he shakes his head, already apologizing and expressing his confusion. After wondering together for a while what could have caused this mix up, we come to the conclusion that things get mixed up sometimes. He swiftly cancels my order on his phone, and suggestapologizes that I order again. I redundantly ask how and he generously waits as I order exactly the way I'd done a few weeks ago.
Having a bit of a bargainer's heart I ask him if it's possible to have it shipped straight to my house this time for the trouble. He asks me how much that would be, apparently having a bit of a bargainer's heart himself, and I go through the prompts on my phone to input my address and see what kind of shipping refund I'm looking for after all. My girls stand quietly by my side, Romi clutching my skirt and Jade watching the pot, maybe waiting for it to turn into a stroller. The man's phone rings and he leans towards me, his bottom teeth, straight and close, showing as he speaks, and asks if he can 'take this call'. I'm surprised at the question but say of course, and go on completing my order beside him. After a minute or two of helping someone else, he ends his call and asks how I'm doing. I tell him that as it turns out, my order qualifies for free shipping and it must have all along. I won't have to come back. We smile at each other like we both got away with something and say goodbye.
I hoist my baby up on my hip and take my other daughter's hand. As we re-emerge into the heat of the parking lot I suggest to Jade that maybe we should have taken the pot after all and pushed Romi around in that. She gives me a chuckle and we get back to our hot and happy car, ready for more frog trouble.

I purchased a Starfrit griddle online through Walmart. A 1-year warranty was included with the purchase. I contacted Customer Service, on Monday January 8th, but they indicated that items through other companies are not honoured by Walmart since their 30 day return policy applies to all products. When directed to contact Starfrit's directly, I found that it would cost about $30 to send the skillet back through Canada Post. Buyer beware. Shop directly in store, or if the product is only available online, avoid third party vendors. Very limiting, since so many items are only available online. Better to order directly from company selling these products, but the cost will be higher, although the warranty will likely be honoured. Good luck! 🙄

J'ai commandé le 24 novembre 2023 des cartouches HP pour 491,93 $. Le 01 décembre, je reçois une notification pour me dire que la livraison est $#*!ée. Puis plus rien. Je contacte Walmart le 05 janvier 2024 via l'aide en ligne et je reçois un courriel le 09 janvier pour me dire que ma commande est annulée.
Le 10 janvier, je replace la même commande mais elle me coûte maintenant 542,50 $...
Commande reçue aujourd'hui 12 janvier... mais les cartouches sont périmées depuis mai 2022!
L'assistant en ligne me dit que je peux les rapporter au magasin. C'est effectivement l'intérêt de faire ses achats en ligne.
Cela se passe de commentaire

A puzzle was listed for $3 so I went to store, but none in stock, and oddly, none of the many similar listing were in stock in their biggest store in Surrey BC, in this city, beside a huge transit terminal. Also bought a cleaning liquid that smelled worse than cat pee. No hint in this product that it could cause sneezing, gagging, for days. Four people who checked stock in two floors could find this liquid. Also, it contained no enzymes, per its Material Safety Data Sheet. Walmart has a common law duty to check product it sells. I located it myself. Prices are higher than Superstore, generally. Much higher than Dollarama in the same mall, sometime 300% higher.

Tip for consumers:
Shop at either of the two dollar stores in this mall

The manager (Linda or Santa, what ever) at Walmart London North told me and the employee that the xchange is only for the new battery and to get the xchange, I have to wait the new one dead - after years. Really, is it a fraud? Shut up, the dishonest lady.

When I turned around to leave, a safety guard stand in front of me.

STOP TREAT YOUR CUSTOMER AS A FOOL AND LIKE CRIMINAL.

Went to Walmart London South at Wellington Rd, no issues.

Shame on you, Walmart London North.

Filed a complain to customer care and no response yet...

Ordered items for christmas on Walmart.ca. I received incorrect item. Have contacted online chat and called on phone several times but still have not received correct item. Was lied to by being told they would get back to me within 24 hours two times now and this did not happen. On the online chat was told that item was a final sale which once again was not true. Due to covid l am unable to go to store because my husband is immunocompromised and we are in isolation to prevent coming into contact with virus so l ordered xmas presents
Online. Very dissapointed with the lack of customer service.

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.

The worst experience and all their customer service is in India, and they can't do anything there. Ordered 3 items Nov. 23rd. 2 show up, and one does not. Now the tracking states that they are waiting for the carrier to come get the last item for the last 2 weeks. Only thing that gets accomplished when you phone customer service is they escalate it. What a joke. Trust me, stick with Amazon, because their people are so far out of their league when it comes to fixing their own screw ups, I don't know even think they deserve to be in the game at all.

Worst customer service, they cancelled my online order which I ordered on offer saying out of stock and after the promotion ended they sell the product on full price. They treat their customers like fool and even when you contacted to their higher management team for issues they simply says can't help.
Worst worst worst online customer service. I wish I can give 0 star

Why is it up to the checkout woman what I can and can't buy? Purposefully these women hold back purchases just to be infuriating. I try to make sure that everything I wanted is in the bags but I missed my footwear purchase and called in only to be told that they are putting it back on the shelf. I guess she wanted it for herself. She put 4 litres of milk on top of two dozen eggs in one bag just to see what would happen. These ppl enjoy tormenting their customers. I guess it is the only fun they get.

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!

I purchased the Moxie trampoline from Walmart last year with high hopes for a durable and enjoyable long-term investment. However, my experience has been far from satisfactory. While initially impressed by its design and promises of quality, my disappointment grew when I encountered a significant issue after just one year of use.

Upon disassembling the trampoline for winter storage, I noticed multiple tears and damage to the hooks on the jumping mat. This unexpected deterioration significantly compromises the trampoline's safety and performance. For a nearly $1000 product, I expected a much higher level of durability and longevity.

When I reached out to Walmart seeking assistance under the warranty, I was informed that the warranty had expired, leaving me without any recourse for what appears to be a premature and concerning product defect. This lack of support and the apparent short lifespan of the trampoline have left me deeply dissatisfied.

The Moxie trampoline has not lived up to its promises of quality and durability, failing to withstand even a year of regular use. As a consumer, I find it unacceptable that a product of this price range should deteriorate so quickly, especially without any recourse for repair or replacement.

In summary, I am thoroughly disappointed both in the quality of the Moxie trampoline and the lack of meaningful support from Walmart regarding the warranty. I would caution potential buyers to consider alternatives with better reputations for durability and customer service.

It's pretty sad that you can't try clothes on for the change rooms are closed. I needed to return some things and they are not accepting returns until this virus is over. This is total bull$#*!. Whoever is the companies CEO I may never shop at Walmart again.

Over the course of my last 2 visits to 2 separate walmart locations in Victoria,BC I have experienced the worst from customer service staff (associates) at both locations. On the first visit at the Hillside location on February 19th I had 2 associates suddenly approach my daughter and I; start looking through our bags as we were cashing out and accuse us of not ringing in a tin of juice! The young woman associate deleted the item, then rang through for a 2nd time a tin of fruit, then was told that the item was there. She then rang through a tin of juice (that she deleted!). It was absurd and humiliating. She and her male counterpart were not communicating with us and were accusatory in their behaviour. This on an almost $200 order! And she deleted the item!

2nd experience at Walmart Uptown location. Had an associate (female) literally run up behind me after I rang in my order and asked if I wanted to give her a 5 star review, then she reached over and gave herself the 5 star review! Invasive and inappropriate behaviour.

Note: I'm a support worker who shops at Walmart at least 4 times per week for our agency and the clients I support. If their was another low cost option in Victoria I definitely would not be returning to Walmart.

I ordered a toy for my son almost 30 days in advance, he was supposed to be a Xmas gift and it was supposed to be delivered on the 27th of December the latest. I ordered from a vendor listed as Some-nameCA. I specifically chose a vendor that seemed to be in Canada to speed up delivery. After payment I received an email informing me that the shipping would have been delayed to the 10th of January and it was sold and shipped by wushu-something-china. On the 12th I received an email informing me that the item was delivered but we did not receive anything, and my son did not get his Xmas present in spite of my best efforts. Shameful.

I bought a bike for my son around 170$. It is 26" bike and look nice but the quality is less than zero. We came back to store after a week and was told that they cant do anything because it is used. For me it doesn't make sense. Gears, brakes... all are so poor. We spend 100$ on it but still doesn't have the minimum standard. I am so disappointed because I was a loyal walmart customer and bought this bike because I knew walmart not a bike brand.so now it is in our garage and I feel so dissatisfied.
