Tried a $7.00 order for a test, name brand, , The Wall-Mart store is just down the road from me, so I will pick it up there, free shipping.My take... Wally World wants to become Amazon so they list items not available in-store to ship to your house (along with store items). They have even less of a clue as to what they are selling as compared to Amazon. Limited availability so very few options are available to choose from. Sloooooow shipping in comparison although free if over $50?
Not unusual. I have had things go from Twinsburg, OH to Detroit, MI and back to me. (Twinsburg is slightly SE of Cleveland.) I have been disappointed with FedEx recently. It used to be my preferred shipper, but even USPS is usually better.This in spite of Digikey being a 2 hour drive across the border for me!
To say nothing of the Covid risk!!Of course, the drive from Canada to the US exposes you to a bunch of gun toting Americans. Stay home. Stay safe.
Wall-Mart is out for me, as far as components.You can buy one hundred 555 timers for less than $6 (including shipping) on ebay from a seller in China – Walmart looks expensive to me.
I'm not sure about ice-cream trucks specifically, but yes many cities are using refrigerated tractor trailers to store bodies. It's really quite the mess.I hear that the USA has run out of morgues for the Covid-19 victims so they are using ice-cream trucks.
I am on American Medicare -- and had no choice. In my area, Walmart and CVS are "in plan." If Walmart plans to survive with its online business, it has a huge way to go before it even competes with eBay, much less Amazon. For non-pharmacy items, you order, get a message in about 2 days or more that your item is ready for pick-up, go to the store and wait 15 to 20 minutes for some sleepyhead to bring it to you. The alternative: Drive to the same Walmart, go into the store, get the item, check out, and be on the way home in 5 minutes or so. That was my experience at the Oberlin, OH Walmart.The staff at my local WalMart say the store will be gone within 5 years due to lots more things being online.
