Hey y'all,

I've been getting ads for Walmart's grocery delivery, similarly priced to Amazon Prime but obviously a lot more food options. I don't like going to Walmart particularly so it seems like a nice option

Wondering if anyone here has a subscription to Walmart delivery and how their experience has been. How long do orders generally take from order to arrival? Are orders accurate?

Thanks!

I was able to cope a switch 2 Mario Kart world edition on midnight today and it says it would delivered by tomorrow and by you guys feel by your experience, does it feel accurate or i should expect a delay?

I bought the free delivery subscription, but wondering about the Tip option at checkout... Who gets that? The driver?

Do people usually leave a tip, and how much %?

I have an order over $35 in my cart.
I was told there was no delivery charge.
Then when I click through they say the delivery charge is $6.97.

Not understanding this.

I've been using Walmart online shopping for a few years now. I've seen the employees around the store. I drive to the store and use the app to signal I'm here and they come out with carts and load my car. My understanding is that these are Walmart employees, part or full time.

But we've tried this new thing they were pushing, where we order through the Walmart website, and then have the groceries delivered. All we wanted to be different was the delivery part. But it seems it's _entirely different_. Getting photos and chats with typos with a person. So it made me realize... this isn't just the same system but with delivery. This is someone else.

I asked the person delivering (it was a couple, actually) and it all clicked: she's paid by Instacart. She doesn't work for Walmart at all. She's basically just going into the store with a shopping cart and buying groceries for me.

So this has me feeling really anxious, especially about tipping properly. Do these people get paid properly? They're not using a company vehicle or company equipment. They probably aren't protected nearly as well as an actual employee. It's through walmart.ca but it's Instacart. It's essentially in competition with the grocery pickup system.

Can someone fill me in on what's the deal here?

To start, I am disabled and get grocery delivery to save my energy for more important things. This is an accessibility thing for me.

I recieved my walmart grocery delivery order this afternoon and it was awful. I brought my cart out to the car like usual and there were 2 men in the car which is strange and unnerving for a home delivery. Especially because the website still didnt show them near my apartment yet and I told him it didnt say he has arrived yet. He didn't answer that. When the one man started putting things in my cart he started with bread and chips. I asked "can we do heavy things first" but he didn't answer. I started pulling my delicate items out but he threw quite roughly a 12 case of pop onto them. I started having to put bags on the ground to keep up despite it being stormy out and the sidewalk being salt, dirt and snow melt. I said " wait" and he didn't respond so I said "do you speak English" and he said "no". He then started taking items out of the gricery bags and putting them on the ground. I said "No, Stop" twice and he was obviously just pretending not to understand putting my food on the ground outside wasn't cool. I waved my arms over the bags trying to show leave them alone and he got mad and drove off with half my groceries. Specifically $112 worth. It didn't dawn on my until I got to my apartment but he just stole from me, pretended not to understand no and stop while ruining the food I did get and put me in a vulnerable position by bringing someone not registered for the delivery with him.

Walmart contracts it out but I made them refund the delivery fee as they need to be accountable for who they send to people's homes. I think of all the elderly that would easily be pushed around by men like that and not be lucky enough to have an apartment that requires a fob to enter.

I get many people won't understand but that was terrifying and I was robbed. Cops warn you not to do kijiji sales at your home and to vet the people but what do we do when it's a delivery and the corporations are in charge of vetting?

Does anyone have an alternative grocery delivery option that won't out me in harms way like this?

Does anyone have experience with them? My coworker swears by it but I just had a 100 dollar order cancelled 30 minutes before it was supposed to arrive and I’m quite annoyed because I’m infrequently home during their delivery windows, and there were things I needed TODAY, so now I need to go to the store. Plus I’m waiting “5-10 business days” for a refund.

Is there no longer free delivery from walmart.ca for non grocery items like vacuum cleaners?

The Walmart grocery delivery service seems great to me. Could someone offer their experience with it? I am concerned that someone would be needed to accept delivery of items -- it would be so fantastic if this were not true. Do they just drop the order and run? Can you schedule particular times for when orders happen?

People who have grocery deliveries from Walmart in downtown Toronto - is it worth it ?

• Financially: does it cost more or less then if you would do groceries on your own ?

• Convenience: Is the no hassle to go buy groceries worth the delivery fee

• Any other pros or cons

Last week, my wife placed two orders on Walmart.ca, and both deliveries were absolute shit. One was a cheap folding table. It just had a shipping label, stuck onto it, and it was delivered and left on our porch and getting snowed on. Upon inspection, the brackets are all scratched to shit, as is the table surface. The label had the name “DOORDASH” on it, so I suspect it was grabbed off the shelf of the nearest WlaMart store and delivered by DoorDash.

The second order was a cheap plastic shelf, and it was shipped in a box. Or should I say, just stuffed in a box that was way too big for it, and the tape job - with Wal-Mart tape - was pretty atrocious. But when it got here, the bottom of the box was soaked. I didn’t realize it at the time we brought it in, so we put it down in the hardwood, and it left close of mud when he went to move it. The entire bottom was covered in mud, and the box is wet as if it had been sitting in a freaking puddle.

I’ll keep the cheap plastic shelf, but the table’s going back and we’ll just not request a replacement. Why does Wal-Mart think that that type of service is acceptable?

I ordered online and didnt realize that it was being delivered through doordash - or I wouldn't have done it.

The door dash guy is there becauae he got the message saying it was ready - but they aren't brining he order out. After I call and no one answers and it diconnects me. I get a text message saying that the order isn't ready.

This is why I NEVER EVER EVER order like this.

But, they charged my credit card.

Do people juat put up with this?.

I wanted to see if anyone could help inform me, when one places an order for grocery delivery, is it the driver who does the shopping in the store or is it a store employee? And are the drivers contractors or are they fully employed by Walmart. Thanks in advance.

Hey the Walmart subscription/delivery pass in canada 🇨🇦 is just $8.97 and worth very penny

For that u get to buy groceries for whole month delivered to your door, u just have to order 5 hours in advance and the minimum order value has to be $35. You can even order in advance for some other day delivery. You can check for rollback offers and flyers. Plus best think Is u only order the stuff u need.

The only thing I hate is they sometimes won't have something and you will get whatever substitute that think is good. But u can be refund for that stuff.

LMK if someone has some special offers or coupons related to it for me. 👍🏻

The only grocery stores near me are Loblaws, No frills, fortinos and shoppers. I've been doing the corner shop for fruits and veg and no frills for everything else. But I'd have to drive far for any larger grocery store not owned by Loblaws and I'm not the most comfortable driver.

Inspired by this sub to find alternative options, I decided to try Walmart delivery and I can't believe how much lower their prices are for the same things. Even with the delivery fee (it was only $6.97) and driver tip I'm spending way less on the same food. Plus their app was user friendly, showed sale prices, no extra mark up, I can get more than just groceries and someone brings it to me so I don't have to brave traffic myself.

Honestly I can't believe how much more food I can get for my money. Not sure I'll ever go back to Loblaws brand stores. I'll still buy fruits and veg local cause I want to support small businesses but for all my grocery needs I AM DONE WITH ROBlaws!!

Here's the situation:

I live in Ontario and am flying to Calgary on July 23rd for a camping and golf trip. We'll be driving from Calgary through Canmore/Banff and then onwards to the Rockies.

I pre-ordered a bunch of larger camping equipment we'll need from Walmart - some was only available for delivery, others were available for pick-up. The items only available for delivery I ordered to my hotel in Canmore.

A large Coleman canopy sun shade is supposed to be delivered to my hotel on July 22nd (Monday), where I will be to pick it up on July 23rd. It still hasn't shipped at time of writing (Sat, July 20th). Calling Walmart, they can literally do nothing and provide me no information. They said someone will get back to me in 72 business hours... whatever that means. "It might show up on time, it might not, you need to wait until July 22nd" is verbatim what one agent said to me.

I have a limited window to pick this stuff up obviously. Worse, Walmart says they can't cancel the order. They have my money, but they can't tell me anything about the item I paid for.

Even worse, if it gets delivered after Wednesday, July 24th, I'll be long gone, won't be there to receive it, and I can't return it. We're driving straight through to Vancouver so I can't back track to get the canopy that was delivered late.

What are my options here? Does anyone in this group have any recommendations? Is there some secret way to get in touch with the "escalations team" support keeps referring to, but cannot contact themselves? If Walmart totally misses the delivery window and I can no longer use/retrieve, and won't be there to refuse delivery, what can I do?

Less importantly - how is this a thing in 2024? Walmart Support can do nothing for me, they can't see any information about my order, they can't cancel it - nothing. How? They've taken my money but are refusing to provide any level of service or tell me when I will receive it.

I'm not trying to be a dick here... but we'll be in the middle of no where and we need shade - it gets insanely hot in the Rockies in July.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Your favourite (or least favourite) agoraphobe here🤠 I’ve ordered grocery delivery from Walmart hillside three times now and I’m definitely impressed, it’s much better than the grocery deliveries I was doing through thriftys.

The pros:

• option for same day

• one hour delivery window plus you can track the delivery progress so you don’t have to be waiting around with no idea when they’ll arrive in the regular two hour window

• the app tells you when things are out of stock so you don’t order stuff you definitely won’t get

• the app tells you if something you did order ended up being out of stock & what it’s been substituted for

• prices are way better than grocery stores

• the paper bags they deliver in have handles and are bigger & better than the thrifty’s bags (small thing but still a pro)

• the minimum order is only $35 (thrifty’s minimum is much higher)

The cons:

• you do have to include a driver tip on top of the delivery cost, but in total it still works out to about the same as thrifty’s delivery cost (of course depending on how much you tip)

• doesn’t have a lot products I’m looking for

• no floral delivery (judge me but it’s nice having a cheap bunch of flowers in a vase on the counter, it’s a small luxury I like)

• doesn’t include a physical receipt with your delivery

Overall it’s been great and it’s likely going to become my weekly grocery option, and I’ll do a bigger order from thriftys for stuff I can’t get from Walmart maybe once a month. Walmart has great pantry stuff but not as much produce/meat. If you get sick or are temporarily housebound for some other reason, definitely consider walmart delivery over a grocery store delivery.

ETA: please read the comments on this post as well because other people have had bad experiences with Walmart delivery

Just wondering if anyone here delivers via Door Dash for Walmart Groceries?

I’m curious what the base pay is for an order?

I live less than 2 km from the store in a residential house, meaning no 2 story walk up or apartment, and always am concerned the “optional” tip Walmart recommends is proportional.

Wanna do some Black Friday shopping from one or both of these places next week. Just want to know: anyone have any experience with them? Do they ship using Canada Post or do they deliver to your doorstep? Do they provide tracking #s? If you know, what shipping company do they use and what have your experiences been with them
