WalMarts version of Amazon Prime

[ginabarrett]

WalMart has now come up with a new shipping option that reminds me of Amazon Prime. It is still site to store shipping (As opposed to your house) but it will get there faster, 3-5 days instead of 5-7 or so... but it costs $29 per year. I like that it is cheaper than Prime, but what I liked about prime was it was to my door and without it there is a minimum purchase required for free shipping. For this I am only getting it a couple of days faster, I don't think that is worth it to me.

Any of you thinking of trying this?

I probably wont use it. I've used Site To Store a few times and since it's free I'll just keep using that. I don't see any point in paying just to have an item a few days sooner.

I'll just stick to Amazon Prime. The ship to store at Walmart is kind of slow, but if I'm choosing that option, I'm not in a big hurry anyways. With Prime, they bring it to me and I don't have to go stand in line at Walmart...win win in my opinion.

Yawn.

 

Why would I ever want to set foot in a Walmart?

 

The whole point of buying online is the convenience factor.

99 percent of the time..items cost less at Amazon also. I'll stick with my Prime.

I am not about to pay yearly for something that is free but may take a little longer... now if it were coming to my home or I could use it to send people gifts like I can with prime - I would be ALL OVER IT!

I did site to store with WM a week ago and it got there within 3 days anyway so why waste the money when you still have to drive there and it's not door to door. Way to go WM another stupid idea.

Exactly. I noticed this on their site yesterday- I purchased a bike for my dd(20) in Denver and had it shipped to the store there. The arrival was suppose to be 11/19/08 and it was there for pick up on 11/10/08. Just another way for Walmart to nickle and dime a customer
