Fug a Wal-Mart

I'm tired of their poo!

My kid worked her ass off & saved her money to buy a $200 pool. She picked one out at walmart and they were out and she was devastated with tears and all, so I said no biggie we can just order it online . I ordered it site to store the end of last month and was supposed to be here June 5th and it still isn't here. Every time the arrival date gets here I get a new email stating it's delayed in transit. The latest day it was supposed to be here was Saturday the 18th. It's supposedly been in Hope Mills, NC since June 12th, that is only 1 hour from my home. I've even told them I'd drive & pick it up from there but they said I couldn't because it's a distribution center.

I called walmart.com on Sat the 18th to find out what was going on, they told me the trucks don't drive on the weekend and it was on record that it would be delivered today, they did also give me a $20 credit for the trouble I've had. It's still not here and they still have not updated the tracking on it or sent me an email with a new delivery date.

I called my walmart a few minutes ago and asked what the deal is. They said they've had problems with so many people ordering pools and said they've all been delayed and are unsure when it would be in.

I've also learned they've already charged my credit card and we have no pool. At this rate summer is going to be over before she gets it.

Meanwhile I have a 10 year old kid that is heartbroken and I don't know what to do.

Amazon.

They have everything with better customer service than a Wal-Mart.

Yes, I know this but she couldn't afford the one on amazon. It cost $400 for the same pool.

I guess this is a lesson for her, I'm just not sure what it is just yet. Patience and tolerance maybe...

Wow, shocked. Usually Amazon is right there with their prices. Double for the same product is a shocker to me. I would have done the same thing you did.

Hate it for your little girl.

I smell a conspiracy here...

Why would someone out there be buying up all the pools?

hmmmmmmmmmm...

I know, I buy all kinds of crap from amazon for usually less than other places.

Why sell them if you don't have them in stock? :( Sucks.

They do that for a lot of stuff.

When I was looking for a tent for our trip, they had the kids tents on there and when I went to the store they weren't there.

I have a couple friends who have done the same thing and been told they needed to order online. Guess there are some things they only offer online? Idk.

Still ended up with the teeniest tent evar.
