This is regarding the 6303 Richmond Hwy Supercenter in Alexandria, VA. Apparently, with them, it's either heaven or hell. For nearly a year, I have been ordering groceries for delivery from this store. I started after surgery prevented me from going out for some time. It was usually great, with deliveries right to my door. A few times items were omitted or I was sent the wrong item, but overall, it was a pretty good experience. I always tipped the drivers, and with very large orders, gave them extra cash when they delivered the order. On this past Friday, I placed an order for delivery the next day, Saturday, by 11am. It didn't arrive. I got several texts saying they were sorry for the delay and that it would arrive soon. At 3:10pm, I called and was able to get a live rep who told me they were having problems with drivers not showing up, but that the order would definitely arrive by 6pm. By 6:30 the order had not arrived, and I had received no further texts. I rescheduled the delivery for Sunday by 12noon.
At 11:40am on Sunday, I received a text saying they were sorry but my order would be delayed until 2:10pm. At 2pm I received another text saying again that it would be further delayed. At 6:45, I called and spoke with a live rep who told me they were having delivery problems but that my order was out for delivery and that I would definitely receive it by 7:45pm, and if it didn't arrive, he would call me back. By 8:55, I still had not received my order or a callback and called again (getting past the bot is a real exercise in patience). I spoke with a different live rep who was very hard to understand, but eventually told me that they had tried to have the order delivered, but so far, four drivers had "refused the order". What?!! He just kept repeating that they had refused to make the delivery. I asked why I had been promised delivery by the previous rep, and he basically said he had lied to me because no one would take the order and had canceled the order without telling me and that was why he never called me back. Again, What? This whole time, I'm looking at my Walmart order online and it still says "delayed", not canceled. This guy was talking in circles the whole time.
He finally told me the best thing to do was to cancel the order and reorder from a different Walmart. He had already told me the order had been canceled by the other rep I spoke to, so what's going on here? Then he said he would cancel the order for me (??) and to please give him a good rating since Walmart was at fault, not him. He gave me addresses of other "nearby" Walmart locations, but when I looked them up, the addresses he gave me were not listed. There are only 2 other locations listed online and they are too far for delivery. And I've paid for delivery for another 7 months. What rotten treatment! You just can't trust anyone anymore. Walmart needs either a complete overhaul or a buyout by a reputable firm that actually cares about its customers. They like to leave you twisting in the wind. read more
