Online merchandise sales are available and its physical stores…and one is no longer going to be the deal it once was. Over the weekend, my son who is really into Legos wanted a new set. So I shopped online to find best price on the particular set he wanted. So we went to a nearby Walmart brick-and-mortar and found the Lego set he wanted on shelf. I found an employee and showed them the online pricing from my smartphone. and do the free pickup option in the store to get the lower price.My son and I stood there and watched as a different employee came a few minutes later, picked the item up off the shelf, and brought it back to the holding spot for pickup.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the confirmation that it was available for pickup until the next day! So I had to go back the next day to pick it up!! That's *not* good customer service. But here's what you need to know. has been completely separated from pricing at Walmart physical locations. has become an aggressive price competitor, while the Walmart prices at physical stores are not. is also using dynamic demand pricing like the airlines, so the price of an item goes up and down like a yo-yo based on demand. Amazon, meanwhile, is raising prices and counting on Prime members who historically don't comparison shop to continue that pattern. If you are a Prime customer, know you probably aren't getting the lowest price. If you're just into convenience, that's fine. But if you care about prices, you need to comparison shop. Amazon is now being underpriced in category after category. you make the choice. The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.
