Beware of buying anything from Walmart online. Walmart has been trying to compete w/ Amazon by offering great deals online. Many of these "deals" do not exist. I tried to order generator twice. Both times the generator never came. When I called Walmart about orders. I was told there was a "processing" error, and I need to reorder. The third time I tried to order gen it came-up as $118.00 more than I paid for the last two times I ordered the gen. Walmart will not honor cheaper price on gen. Even though orders were cancelled by them. I have complained to BBB. If the price is too good to be true, or your order is "processing" for more than 2 days. Than its a fake ad. Giving everyone heads-up.

Giving everyone heads-up.In much of what they do, Helmart in their mad scramble to keep up with Amazon, allow third tier sellers to list under the Helmart website. You have no doubt just seen it. Go back, look at the ad, does it say "sold by" somewhere on the listing? Welcome to the post Amazon apocalypse.

Walmart knows their online experience needs work. That's why they bought Jet.com.When Walmart fully integrates their business model-they will be able to fully compete with Amazon.The above posters are probably correct-you are experiencing issues by third party sellers-NOT Walmart.

Yea I have experienced this in several places. Nothing new.Not just WM.

Seriously? They screwed it up twice and you ordered a third time :?

When I show Wal-Mart their price on line, they price match it in the store. On line doesn't work that good if you want to touch it before you buy.

Many items are sold thru Walmart on line but the actual order goes thru a 3rd party selling thru that site. Common practice for stores doing on line sales such as Best Buy and other large stores. I have bought a number of items from Walmart on line and so far I have never had a problem.
