I bought the Emerson last night for $298, my store only had one. This morning at 7:45am I went to have a price adjustment. Smooth transaction, they have to return it and buy it again for $115.00. Good price for a guest bedroom TV.  I also bought the movie How to train a dragon 2.  Items were ringing already at a sale price before 8:00am.

 

Yeah I was at my Walmart at 7 am, went and grabbed the tv and it already rang up at the 115. I was happy I didn't have to stand around and wait.

Just got the email that my Skylanders store pick-up was cancelled. Not a big deal; I'm already at work so I may stop by another location later. Otherwise I'll be at Target first thing Sunday morning to get it for $39.99 along with redcard discount.

ToysRUs has this for 39.99 for their Todays Deal. I don't know anything about Skylanders but it looks like the same thing

As usual, walmart is a waste of time. Got to my local store, was told they had 4 "left" and I was 4th in line. Then one of the associates calls over and says they only have 3 as someone else had already paid for theirs in advance of the start time.

 

All this happened before the 8am start time. When I spoke to an assistant manager I was told there had been a mistake by an associate and I was out of luck.

 

Calling their corporate office was also a huge waste of time as they appeared not to be bothered in any way by this screw up. They did say that the store was given a minimum of 10 TV's, so what happened to the other 6 is anybody's guess.

 

I have to say that I am not surprised. I would imagine this will be happening all over the place.

My store received none, told us it was on line only, then said their store was too small. Customer service call after 22 min on hold was told to repeat to district manager and call back in a few hours when corporate lets them know what they are going to do!!

They cancelled my skylander's order for in store pick up and now it's sold out for both platforms that I could've used online and in store. Walmart you suck, I'm contemplating canceling my other in store pick up item and just boycotting you for the season. (My order was placed at 7:50 pm)

You need to look at your walmart account. It shows cancelled almost right away.

Sadly, Walmart  has no incentive to do anything to improve their customer service when it comes to these sales and how badly they are handled. There appears to be no accountability at any level of this company as a few disgruntled customers is just a part of doing business for this mega company.

I was able to get the Skylanders for 360 in the 2nd Walmart I went to.  The TVs were sold out at both.  The 2nd store was letting people put them on layaway...unfortunately that side of town I can guarantee that more than half of those tvs will never be picked up.

I was really hoping for the straight talk galaxy S3 for 179.00 but seems that was a typo. Its 279. They have the Walmart family brand for 199. Does anyone know if I can buy that one and switch it to Straight talk?

They should send a cancellation email funny thing is my card has been charged but I can't get my money back on it till it comes out of pending

 

Shoot, i got the cancellation email saying my card wasn't charged. It is my son's and he is in school so I will have to ask him later if they took it twice.

Yep, add me to the list of cancelled TVs. My order sat in "processing" for a couple hours though before I got the cancellation email/text.

 

Hmm so glad mine cancelled right away.

Last year Target had online one of the doorbuster TV around 3:00am.  You might want to give it a try.

I just got a email from Customer Service as i complained about the cancellation, they said goto the store you placed the pick up order from and the employees have the authorization to provide you with a similar TV at the same price

Terrible shopping experience this morning . Got to my local WM at 5:00 this morning only to be told a few hours later that they didnt have ANY $115 tvs (neither the Emerson or the Element). They never got any in and would not be having any.  :gdangry3:  :curse:  :gdboxer:

My walmart told my son they had 3, and when they opened they had none. So I told him to go to another store and they sold out, because they let this 1 guy buy 9, and someone else bought 3..They said there wasn't a limit per person...so mad
