I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.
It was a situation like that that makes me never use Walmart marketplace.
I ordered an item for in-store pickup. The order gets canceled for lack of inventory. I go to the store and find the item on the shelf for at a higher price. While looking at the item I re-order it online. It gets canceled again for the same reason. I give up on their online portal and go somewhere else.
I know it’s a bit or a luxury that not everyone has but after this and some other perceived slights, I try not to shop at Walmart if if I can help to even if it costs a bit more.
was it a computer or other tech item that has seen greatly increased prices lately? we ran into something like that recently at wm. went to buy a basic desktop pc at what was then a pretty fair price. was turned-away in-store even though the web site stated availability and price we were looking for was available for same-day store pickup. turns out they pulled the shelf inventory and didn’t have any “in stock” to sell. we ordered online instead (again with store delivery, even) and got it delivered for the expected price. the very next morning they were back on the shelf, but at a far higher price. we just caught them in the midst of a very substantial price increase… well over 40% higher.
