In just 3 months of using Walmart delivery, so many things have gone wrong with my orders that I'm puzzled how this service can survive when it's so unreliable.
The first time I placed my order I was so happy to receive what I needed on my doorstep, I thought it would make my day-to-day life easier, but then it just went downhill and turned into a nightmare of hours wasted in chat trying to solve problems that they have zero capacity to solve.
I started to notice that some products are constantly going in and out of stock throughout the day, requiring several attempts to be able to purchase them, or place an order at the correct time to get them in stock, such as salt, pasta, soap, rice and beans.
I had my order canceled without explanation, without being asked if I would like to postpone delivery until the next day or anything. I entered the chat and asked if they could redo the order for me, so I didn't have to add all the items to the cart again and so I didn't lose the offers, they just said that I had to redo the entire order again. When I explained that I bought it to take advantage of the offers in the daily leaflet, which were no longer available, the person didn't even try to help me.
After I bought the monthly pass, it seems like everything got even worse, delivery arrived hours late, with melted ice cream, wet box of cornstarch (they put it next to the ice cream), product that was supposed to be frozen, completely defrosted, spoiled cassava...
Products arriving wrong. Ordered chicken thighs, received chicken legs. Ordered again and they canceled my order (after hours of delay in delivery) and finally on the 3rd attempt it arrived correctly.
Regarding this second canceled order, the website track showed that the delivery was on its way and would arrive in 14 minutes. After more than 2 hours showing exactly the same thing, and being more than 1 hour late, I entered the chat and they said they were in contact with the delivery person, (but again they had no information to give other than of the ones I could see on the website) and they said that my order would arrive in 14 minutes and that they were on its way, when I repeated that it was what was being shown on the website for hours, they said I could rest assured that my order would arrive. Serious? What's the point of choosing a time slot on the website if my order can arrive at any time? In chat, they only know how to apologize without even reading what I'm saying. Instead of realizing that something must be wrong, they keep apologizing and don't help at all. I stopped monitoring the order and after a while, I received an email informing about the cancellation of my order and the refund they would issue (which I never asked for). In addition to being without my order, I lost a discount coupon they had given me, which I was unable to use on another order, as I had already used it on this one.
They constantly send me products that I don't want, even though I asked for no substitutions, which means that I have a lot of products that I didn't order and don't want, and I don't have the ones I want. I have 10 cans of coconut water that doesn't taste like coconut water at all and now I'm afraid that if I place a new order with the coconut water I want, I'll end up with more bad coconut water instead of the one I want.
And finally, I had understood that the monthly pass would be renewed if I didn't ask to cancel it, but clearly I was wrong, as I placed an order on the 28/09 to be delivered on the 29th, however on the 29th I received an email informing that my order and my monthly pass subscription were canceled. They really lack the ability to ask if the customer wants to renew or if they want to pay for that delivery or just cancel or anything, instead, they harm the customer by not sending the order and leaving it at that.
The only time they had an honest attitude was once when they called informing they were going to be late and if it was ok. However, it was at this time that they brought me the defrosted products.
It's one cluster of terrible service after another.
This is very frustrating to deal with, and I don't feel like I can trust Walmart to have the products I need on the day I need them.
0 times my problems have been solved, the only thing they know how to do, besides pasting their apology into the chat, is to tell us to call Walmart's number, in other words, the chat is completely useless. If I entered the chat, it's because I want to solve my problem via chat.
What angers me most about all this is the complete lack of desire to help the customer, at no point they ask me what I want, they just take harmful actions.
Furthermore, it is impossible to obtain support by email if you are not sending it via the email registered in the Walmart account, even though I have all the order details, in other words, a couple who share a Walmart account cannot resolve a problem with delivery if they do not share the same email. read more
