COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

I learned several things today with the Walmart Pickup.

First thing is do not schedule your pickup time for first thing in the morning. A lot of the daily deliveries have not been made yet, so these items were deleted from my order. I did afternoon pickups the two other successful times.

Make sure to check the "do not substitute" box. I forgot to do it this time and of the five items they substituted three of them were nothing like what I ordered. One item was McCormick Pork Chops Bag n Season and they substituted chili of it.

There is no way to cancel your order after they either did not have or substituted items on your list. I had to call the store to cancel it. Even two hours past my pickup time Walmart is still texting me saying my order is ready for pickup. We ended up going inside and getting most of the stuff we wanted instead including the out of stock and substituted items.
Similar experience, I have tried early morning and late evening, while trying different Walmart's, whichever route you choose will be a bust. With substitutions at one WalMart the girl removed the items from my invoice and let me keep them, at another WalMart the substitution from the email was wrong, I told the guy I don't want that crap, he told me he would have to go inside to remove from the invoice, I told him no worries, I don't want you to go through all of that.

The shameful thing is the items that are "not in stock" or "no substitution available", if you look carefully at other shopper's buggies they have those items you are looking for. So like you, I have to end up going inside. The same tale can be told with Kroger also, I have tried them also. Moral of story if you need meat, some dairy items, frozen (depending on the criteria) or paper products you will more than likely need to go inside, other than that pick up is nice.
