Spent $50 on gopro batteries, they showed up like this
Ordered them straight from walmart for delivery, they showed up with clearance stickers for more than half off đ¤Ś. Should i contact customer support and try to get the difference refunded, or is that even worth it with walmart?
Like you said making online order and they delivered locally Lots of times itâll be like that My local has stuff cheaper in store (clearance like yours) vs online. Varies by locations so online wonât show you the price u less your in store mode (actually there).
Their app mentions that the prices online and in-store may be different. Itâs worth a shot getting the difference back. Maybe youâll have to return it in-store and then purchase it again right away.
Yeah i went in loops with their AI and it kept saying how their policy doesnât cover partial refunds for products that go on clearance after I purchase them. But my thing is - if it wasnât on clearance when I purchased it, how did it show up with a clearance sticker on it?
Unfortunately the website wonât be able to help you. The only way you MIGHT be able to get a ârefundâ of the difference is going to your local store and returning them at full price and asking to repurchase them at the âclearanceâ price.
Nah they were already on clearance. The issue is that buying it on the site vs the store. They can give you two entirely different prices. Even if you are choosing to get it from a particular store the prices can be different. Itâs stupid I know. Like for instance I know a guy at my local Walmart was telling me for a while a lot of produce was much cheaper to order for pick up rather than coming into the store and buying it.
And there is a policy stating they donât have to reflect the price of the store when you buy it online.Â
Now if you know what store it came from that had them on clearance you could possibly go there. Ask if you can refund the purchase then buy them back due to the price difference. I really doubt theyâd fight you on it.
When you say you ordered delivery, was it local delivery fulfilled by something like DoorDash (items delivered in bags), or was your order shipped through the mail via FedEx or UPS or something?
If it was local delivery, definitely go to the store you ordered from and try for a refund.
If it was shipped through the mail though, thereâs a good chance you ordered from a dropshipper/reseller rather than from Walmart directly. Meaning someone else found these items on clearance and resold them online for a profit. In that instance, Iâd guess youâre unlikely to get a refund for the difference, but it doesnât hurt to give it a shot.
You should ask for the difference back, you got ripped off.
But you should also be prepared for Walmart to say "you agreed to the price on purchase making it a legal contract and you can cram your refund wherever your kind traditionally crams things."
Yeah unfortunately thatâs what iâm thinking. But whatâs funny is if it simply showed up WITHOUT the sticker, I wouldâve been fine because itâs still $10 cheaper than off the official gopro website
If they give you hassle, just have them process a return at the customer service counter and then say you'd like to rebuy those same ones for the sticker price.
They just pulled this shit with a sweatshirt. $17.97 and arrived with a $13 clearance sticker. Online customer service said they couldn't refund the difference because it was delivered. I said yup! Delivered from the STORE not a warehouse. I tool to service desk my next shopping trip & got my $ back.
Nice!! Iâm gonna have to try service desk tomorrow, although it did ship from a warehouse because they werenât within a couple hours of me :/. Definitely worth a shot though!
I had this happen to me with a 2tb ssd earlier this year, it was already on sale, but it arrived with a significant clearance sticker. Support couldn't help me, but did tell me what store it came from, so I went there and was refunded the difference.
This is an exception. The thing is, good luck getting any SSD without a 100% markup or more. I bought a high quality, high endurance gen 4 NVME 2TB SSD which should be worth at least 2x than what you have. It cost less than $80 a couple years ago. Now the same SSD is selling for more than $250 on the used market. USED. not even open box. auction can easily hit $250 in no time
$139 is actually not too bad for a 2TB SSD. but it is bad that this isn't exactly a good SSD for frequent data access applications
Walmart does that. I had Walmart Plus and this happened to me a few times where I paid full price, but it showed up with clearance tags. I tried to get a price match, and Walmart Plus support said they can't price match in-store clearance prices.
Yes, go in person if need be. Their policy dictates they give you the advertised price if the UPC lines up. If nothing else they'll give one of them for that price.
Yea I was looking at phone cases online and decided to just go into the store. Same case I wanted online Was 50% cheaper in store than advertised online. Marked at 49.99 online vs 24.99 in store
And this s*** right here is why I will never do any of those grocery delivery services, why? I'm very hesitant to buy most clothes online unless they're asking for my measurements or the fit can be for a variety of shapes (I'm tiny and it's very annoying to have clothes that are swimming around me because no one anticipates an adult person being 5'2 and 120 lb) between the amount of f*** ups and online shopper can make, The deals you're missing and the things you weren't exactly looking for, but you just kind of need and you didn't know you need it until you saw it on the shelf. I'm glad these services exist for disabled people who wouldn't otherwise be easily able to get themselves groceries, but I can drive and walk around most of the time. So I'm going to stick to buying my GoPro batteries in person (I don't have a GoPro)
Yeah my wife did something like this for a while where she would order groceries but in the site they only had certain things listed and usually they would be the more expensive line of store brand. Yet you go in the store and see the cheaper brand not even shown on the site somehow.
Last Xmas I ordered a shirt from Old Navy that came with a lower clearance sticker on it. I reached out to customer service chat and they game me the difference. See if Walmart customer service will do the same.
That's funny because I was at Target yesterday and noticed a Hot Wheels bedding set on sale for $15. We just bought this exact set on eBay directly through Target's Bullseye Deals for $25. So I went to Target's website and pulled up the bedding set, where it's listed at $50. You can pick up in store, I'm sure they'd probably just take the clearance stickers off though.
Contact walmart support via chat. I'm often able to get refunds without having to return the product if they did something stupid like that. at the very least they'll probably refund you the difference
Unfortunately the AI took me in a loop, asked for my order number then said it wasnât able to help me and not would a customer service rep. Didnât even give me an option to continue with an actual rep
Was shipping listed as free? If so, they probably just factored shipping into the unit cost of the item. Most people wouldnât have bought this if they said â$12.00 each, + $13.00 each for shipping.â Shipping costs that are more than double the item value is a bit nuts, thatâs for sure, but Iâm guessing thatâs what they did here. They played you.
Had the exact opposite happen recently. Order a pair of shoes I've been eyeing and they were showing as 3.50 on the app. They arrived and had a clearance tag for 14 on them
Is price match guarantee not a thing anymore? If customer support listens to your case and gives a refund, perfect. If they don't however... here is where maliciousness compliance comes into play... Go to the store and see if it's on the shelf also listed at that reduced price. If so, return the previous one. You have a receipt. You didn't want it. Purchase the new one at the correct what it should have been price. Hassle? Yes. Worth it? Also yes. Hostile? Yes, fuck that shit.
Everything is cheaper somewhere...it all depends on how much work you want to do.
Would the guy who just paid $306 plus $12.39 shipping on ebay be mad that the same thing is available on Amazon for $319 with free shipping? Probably not...he saved 60 cents.
He might be more mad if he knew I got that item totally free and had it listed elsewhere for $255...and would have discounted it down to $191 if it sat in inventory for a few weeks....but he wanted it now, and I was under no requirement to tell him how to save $128.
Bad form to leave the stickers on...but the minimum wage worker who got the order pick list isn't going to spend an extra 10 seconds removing those stickers to make the company look better.
Walmart killed off a hundred thousand (or more) mom & pop stores, thereby decimating small town and rural economies, main streets, etc than the internet ever did or will.
Not the case here. I work at Walmart. Stores can have clearance prices different from other stores. OP paid the non-clearance normal online price, then a store that had the item on clearance fulfilled the order.
U paid the convenience fee. If u had gone to the store u could have seen the stickers⌠but its easier to click and it appears at ur door- so it costs extra
Edit since the internet is stupid: i never said this isnt mildly infuriating. It is, but there is an explanation- not an excuse. Instead of downvoting, click here first
No. The delivery fee & tip are the payment for convenience. These would have rang up as the price on the sticker when purchased and the leftover balance shouldâve been refunded to OP. Iâve had this happen through DoorDash and they refunded me whatever it was
Yes someone bought them for 12 and sold them to you for 25. They made a profit and you saved money. Thats how any business works. They should have taken the clearance sticker off.

Take them to the Walmart and show the receipt with the items
