 Topic: give Walmart a try,,,,,
Posted: 16 Feb 2022 at 5:05pm |
Just thought I would pass this along as it saved me some good dollars. I had used DUCKDUCKGO to look for the parts on the heater and was pleasantly surprised when Walmart showed in the search list ,,,so figured I give em a try. Well, They had both of the switches I needed for less than $20 and FREE Shipping to boot,,,!! I had quit using amazon for political reasons and Walmart is doing same thing that made amazon tons of dollars.
Give em a search ,,,you'll be glad,,,,!!!

Last fall I bought 4 shocks for my GMC 4WD 3/4 ton truck from W M and the price was cheaper than my local supplier of parts .
One thing to watch is who the supplier is if W M or a outside vendor using the site as any warranty or return policy might not be the same as W M one is .

Tons of counterfeit product on Walmart (And AMZ but their getting better). My company in constant communication w them about the problem.
I’ve worked w Walmart for years and they always were very reactive to any reports of this; now they don’t seem to care.
For sure “Buyer Beware” and definitely watch who the supplier is. Don’t buy anything coming out of China on AMZ or WMT

I buy a lot of stuff through Walmart especially larger physical items. They have a brick and mortar store close by and if there's a problem I can just return it to the store for an immediate refund. No hassle with getting return shipping details hammered out.
I find the Amazon and Walmart prices to be almost the same. Once in a while, one will be a better sale price.

Anymore I just go to Amazon, search and buy what I'm looking for. Just don't need the aggravation of searching the web and then having to research the part, the supplier and shipping.

Wallace World will surprise you sometimes with what they can get. Might have to wait a few days for it to get there but it can be some oddball stuff. I order Ballistol from there which is about the best gun oil to be had especially for black powder without hazardous shipping charge saving me bread, always a good thing.

Joe, you can still get it at some places for $45-50 ....... but i think the shipping would put you back up at the $68. ......... maybe a different local store ?
