jediliz Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 this is a good deal. If I can't find the nintendo ds video game I want on Black Friday (either at Target or online at Best Buy....) I may just order it from Walmart.com That is IF I can't get it at Best Buy or Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansieDZ Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Free shipping DEFINITELY makes me want to order from WM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofshopping Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Good deal, but then last year I got free shipping anyway with Site to Store, so...I wonder if the extra time this will undoubtedly take will be worth not having to stand there for 20 minutes when I go to pick my stuff up b/c they can't find anything.

tinkrbel Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I used to do site to store too but our Walmart isn't on the way anywhere so was either make a special trip or stop by on my way home from work and then get stuck in rush hour. Now if they'd open it up at 7am I could go in before work and save the hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
