Wal-Mart’s web site is not as easy to use as Amazon. But they seem to have a a good selection of stuff
The walmart.com search capability seems to be stuck in the 1990s.
Wal-Mart does deliver fast, because they have such a wide geographical area covered by their distribution centers, and they offer the option of picking up the goods at the store, sometimes available same day, just go to the service desk.
And they do have connections with outside vendors as well.

Walmart should replace its IT people, who fail at inventory replacement and have a hard to order from Web site.
Having said that, Walmart sometimes has incredible deals on some excellent merchandise that is not stocked in the stores. It is in their warehouse and often in the store’s warehouse and not carried as a floor stock item.
We got a Dyson upright vacuum cleaner at about $150 less than competition. We had to order online and then pickup at the store. It was an in store item not stocked in their stocking area. I picked it up, 2 hours after placing the order.
Similar deals were available on name brand microwaves and high end kitchen pots/pans.
Also, we are buying more from Costco online. Again, ordering from them is not as easy as from Amazon Prime. You often have one or more items missing from the order and nothing about that via email or on the shipping invoice. There is no number or email to contact. After a few days, the items show up.
My wife is a Bed, Bath and Beyond “Prime”customer, and she gets great deals with basically free shipping after a small minimum purchase. Delivery is fast, often within a couple of days. However, you get zero emails telling you when to expect a delivery.
95% of our local stores are owned by liberals, and they are staffed with dumb arrogant teens or illegals, who can’t or won’t speak English. The other 5% are main street liberals or GOP’es.
I hate Target and have ordered for my wife. She does that now, with her new Acer 10 inch Chrome book. If you go on line, you will get about 2-5 spam emails from them per day. Their web site is like walking into a mine field. Your search items are seldom listed after your search. They spam you there too.
