I would if they hosted resellers like amazon does. I buy alot of supplements and walmart doesn’t currently carry any of the ones I like.
Are they (Gooogle and WikiBuy) selling your purchase history to anyone?
A friend of ours recommended something called e-bates, that they use on Chrome. We studied up on it....and they (the ebates plug in) track your web activities AND sells the info :(
I use both amazon and walmart.com One advantage of walmart.com is the ability to return the product to a walmart store without having to return ship.
We shop at the brick-and-mortar Walmart once or twice a week, but never the .com. We use Amazon Prime often, and it seems that much of the business we do with them is with smaller businesses, and they’ve been wonderful. Sometimes there’ll be a note in the package saying that if there are problems, contact them before doing a negative review on Amazon. They need business, and will bend over backward to fix the problem and make you happy.
My sister ordered a new laptop from a company in Tampa, and they sent her a Windows 10 instead of the Windows 7 she had ordered. They sent her another laptop, and told her to keep the Windows 10 - which she gave to her daughter.
The battery in my laptop died only a couple months after I got the system. They sent me a brand new one — express.
Walmart gets the nod far just walking around, looking at and actually touching what I might buy..
Wal-Mart is a single company. Amazon creates an environment where thousands of small companies can sell goods to customers. Don’t like Amazon? Start a business that competes with them.
I’m not buying from Amazon very often, nothing in the last three months. And I didn’t renew my prime membership either. I’ve gotten a very few things from Ebay. I have ordered from Walmart.com. Overall I’m limiting my online shopping.
I avoid Amazon by using Ebay. I will not ever pay the Amazon Prime head tax.
Inventory replacement is not an I.T. issue, it's a data analytics and procurement issue. Hard to order website also isn't an I.T. issue, it's the application developers and GUI designers realm. If you don't like how a website functions, blame first the designers and second the business people who often refuse to fund proper graphical user interface analytics and design.
(Speaking from 35 years of experience in the I.T. industry cross sectors.)
The fact is ANYONE who sells online is tracking every move they can about you in order to market to you. EBates, Google, Amazon, Walmart.Com, it doesn’t matter. Some may have more information than others but they all do it.
There are 2 Walmarts near me and the parking lots are full and the stores busy any time I have gone there. People shop where they can get a bargain. I shop online and mostly at Amazon as I don’t like crowds : )
Amazon has a lot of counterfeit goods; Walmart doesn’t.
Bezos gets 15% of that transaction. That's what it used to be.
Often your tax rate is lower than buying at the store when shipping stuff to your home. It all adds up.
I shop the WalMart grocery several time a week ‘cause they sell for less than Kroger, Publix, et al.
I’ve also used their online shopping. Delivery time is usually 2-3 days.
I like WalMart and feel sorry for those who won’t shop there because it’s beneath them. They are missing some wonderful buys.
I get Walmart stuff online all the time. I get to skip Bezo’s shipping charges with ship-to-shore.
The Walmart tire place will install tires from anywhere without a hassle. You can order from any online tire seller and get them installed at Walmart. I have been happy with tire purchases from Amazon, they seem to arrive the next day.
I'm pretty sure the Walmart tire place is just there to increase foot traffic in the store. They charge incredibly reasonable prices and they are always really busy. This results in people hanging out in the store for an hour or two: Just what Walmart wants.
That's a very good point. Amazon is taking on an increasing amount of third party vendors. Not everything sits in an Amazon warehouse anymore.
I see that trend continuing. Online shopping is more about matching up buyers to sellers. This allows a lot of small business to compete on more or less a level playing field with the big players. I don't see that as a bad thing.
Walmart.com has been a good experience for me.
One positive about amazon is that you get the SAME thing at smile.amazon.com but you pick a charity to get a percentage of the order. I pick my local crisis pregnancy center. So I am promoting pro life every time I order at Amazon.
