11. They are carrying less and less in their store here.

So I’ve had to order online for basics like band-aids and even some foods. I have also ordered other things like a lawn mower and trailer hitch. The orders come pretty fast and can be returned to the store.

You do have to watch out for their 3rd party sellers, though. One of them charged me shipping and then shipped with a fraudulent tracking number and wanted me to pay postage due. I reported them after my local post office told me how it happened. I refused the package and got a full refund.

I’m not a fan of Walmart, but we’ve quit Amazon completely and are left with so few choices. When possible, I go directly to the company’s website if they sell direct to customers (for example, Corelle). If there is no other choice, I’ll order from Walmart.com.

They need your email address, phone number, and mailing address to process the order. Just don’t buy the Walmart + for free shipping, or whatever that does for you. I do a lot of online shopping and don’t object to creating an account. It helped me track my orders, in case I want to buy something again.
