In the past I have made a conscious effort to avoid lefty/activist businesses that I am aware of. From pro football to monopolistic search engines, it hasn't always been easy. But just last week, I ordered off of Amazon three times! What could be worse than Amazon, and more highlighted recently by Bezos, who is the worlds richest man, doesn't feel he needs to conceal his politics, either within his organizations/businesses, or his own statements.
Why am I contributing to this?
I was curious who here shops walmart.com I have not yet done so. I believe I have reached a point where I am willing to give up the enormous selection and diverse availability over overtly provocative political leanings.
How well do you find walmart.com to be?
Agree with every word in your comment about Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart, please improve your website.
Never used Walmart.com except to order grocery curbside pickup.
I used to use Amazon frequently but haven’t for a long time except for one item that is cheaper than local stores.
I just now found that Walmart.com carries it for the same price. I think I will place my next order there.
We do online grocery shopping. Love it!
Love my Alexa though too! Especially when I lay in bed and tell my coffeemaker to turn on so the coffee is ready when I hop out of bed.
As a former front end cashier I can tell ya Walmart absolutely sucks as an employer.
Most of Walmart product comes from China.
One thing I would like to find out from experienced Walmart.com shoppers, regards online payment options. Some time back, in the interest of increasing our identity protection, we just completely stopped using credit cards and debit cards for our Amazon payments, and, instead, just buy Amazon gift cards in various local stores, and use them to pay for all our Amazon.com online orders. Can you do that at Walmart.com? (Can you just buy a Walmart gift card in the Walmart store, and then use that gift card to pay for your Walmart.com online purchases, instead of having to use a credit card or a debit card?)
Hoping someone here can answer that for me. Thanks!
I've been told that those small businesses are put through hell by Amazon if anything goes wrong with the orders. That sort of fits in with the stories you hear about how Amazon treats their employees.
I'd rather go directly to the vendor's website whenever possible.
doesn’t matter. I know I smell good.
Not so many as in the past. They still have international goods, but fewer from China (where too often prisoners of conscience are making products for US markets).
Cripes, it was a legitimate question - i never saw that coming.
answer: I never notice.
I do online grocery pick up.
Terrible employer.
Do the majority of my shopping at Walmart.com.
I will price compare Amazon, but more often than not, I get a better price on WallyWeb.....
Ideologically, I find WallyWeb (Walmart) to be much more leaning to my Conservative side than Amazon and Bozo.
I vote every day with my $$$$
Great post!
Our anti-Bezos, save-the-local-economy proclivity has me turning to online BUYING as a last resort. I often use Amazon to shop for the item I want. Then I go to the manufacturer’s website to try to find local stores that carry the item. If I fail in finding it locally (or the item is ridiculously priced by the local store compared to Amazon), then I will check on acquiring directly from the manufacturer’s website. I try to remember to use RetailMeNot.com before making any online purchase. That’s where you can find promo codes to enter at checkout for free shipping, discounts, etc.
Also, the buy-online-pickup-at-the-store option is often cheaper than picking it off the shelf yourself. For example, PetSmart offers 5% for shopping online. So I find myself in stores price comparing against the same store’s website. I have purchased items online for in-store pickup while I am carrying them to the front of the store.
In the end, I agree with whoever said earlier in this thread that it’s hard to keep track of who we’re supposed to be boycotting. It seems every company, except Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby, has been forced to put forth a politically correct side to keep from being the prime target of the left. So, I definitely find myself buying certain items from Amazon, because it’s easier and so difficult to find elsewhere. But I will definitely look into using Walmart more when I do have to buy online. Also, I saw that Bed Bath and Beyond offers 20% discount and free shipping on all purchases for a $29 membership.
Been shopping at Walmart.com exclusively for about 2 years. Very happy with service, selection and price. Have not used amazon at all in that time. Walmart has free shipping on orders over 35.00. I can always find something to add to the order especially household stuff I reorder frequently. Plus it comes right to my door. Packed well and sometimes they throw candy bars or snack goodies in the package.
Ditto all what Bob said...............
A distant second to Amazon, items in searches consistently result in many out of stock, or not available for shipping and with far less variety to choose from.
Plus their web site is poorly laid out, and while free shipping over $35 is quite fast (and faster than the free shipping over $35 of Amazon) if from Walmart itself, yet it is far more likely to be messed up.
But still, both are a blessing, and thank God for that and being able to get good buys. For something like basic clothing (men's jeans 9.99) or tools, building supplies, LED bulbs or a Microwave.. then Walmart likely is best; for things you need reviews and for more variety, Amazon is better; while for things like cheap bicycle parts, flashlights, watches, etc. Ebay can be much cheaper.

What are you going to do?
You’re supporting totalitarian Marxists thugs by simply being on the Internet.
