Kanyon71 Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Uh that seems silly, you are going to sacrifice business to try and get business in another location. Most people will look at it online look at Amazon and go oh Amazon is much cheaper I may as well just order it there. 3
dakotadenise Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Great. Walmart will be even more crowded....
Bopeep Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Well, I guess I get it, but that's some bull.
Kash Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Wow! Our Walmart already has so many issues on BF that they have the local police posted in pairs throughout the store. Now to save a $1 there is going to be even more people. Then when things run low or out..........??
cllehto Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 I hate shopping at stores that have higher prices either online or in stores. It just seems dishonest to have to pay more one way or the other. I try to avoid those stores as a general rule-not just at Christmas.
MusicMama Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Given that their app can't even find items in stock when you're staring at them in the store, I can't see how this will change things. Have placed at least 5 in-store for pickup orders in the last few weeks that were cancelled as out of stock. Walked in the store anyway and was able to find 3 of the 5 items, even though the app said "not in stock". Ugh.
tn20 Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 I noticed that when putting together an order last night. Several things that I was going to add to my order just to check off my list were listed as a higher price with a lower in store price displayed below. Well, joke's on them because now I will pick those items up at other stores instead of going to Walmart to get them. 3
jaymacfla Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Tons of stuff left over. 39 inch Element TVs. What a joke on the public.
Cinnamonhuskies Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 $9 online vs $7 or $5 instore..........seriously Walmart. Bad business.
Fishboysmom Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Anyone hear any news on how this worked out for Walmart? Just curious.
bribri25 Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 I'm sure more people just bought it online somewhere else. Sent from my SM-G930V using GottaDEAL mobile app
AliJ Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 I ended up buying a DVD for my son that was $3.96 in the store, but was $10 online. I just happen to be in the store Friday afternoon, otherwise I would have skipped it. I bought less this year at Walmart than I ever have. Best Buy was the winner for me this year despite their site crashing!
