Walmart pickup is kind of misleading. They’ve gone through all the trouble of pointing people to pickup at the front of the store. All orange signs pointing that way. BUT IT’S ONLY FOR GROCERIES!!!! Order any other merch and trudge to the back of the store to pick it up. Bah.

My Walmart has the lockers at front for pickup for items like electronics, but I also use the grocery pickup which is not limited to groceries. I have added other household items to my order such as dishwashing liquid, shampoo, pet foods, and supplies.

If you have the app on your cell phone, it notifies the grocery pickup person as soon as your car hits the lot. By the time you pull up to the pickup area at the side of the building, they come out to load your groceries. You sign on their tablet, and that is it.

They pick out the best produce, and meats as they want their service to succeed. I like it as I impulse by when I shop inside the store. With the online grocery, it is easier to stick to what I need, rather than, “oooh, that looks good”.

One more thing I like about WM grocery pickup. If you order something they don’t have, eg, 1 dozen Eggland’s Best Eggs @ $2.62, they will substitute with 18 Eggland’s Best Eggs at the price of 1 dozen/$2.62. Ditto for other items.

“BUT IT’S ONLY FOR GROCERIES!!!!”

I’ve tested it and bought a few items that weren’t groceries (charcoal lighter, a folding camp chair). Try searching for what you want, you might be surprised.
