Walmart to Go!

[pstovall]

Yesterday, when I was able to take one of the commercial surveys, I found out about Walmart to Go!  Did anyone else see the ad?  What a great service.  I understand that it is only in test markets at the moment, but once it reaches cities all over the country, we can do our grocery shopping with Walmart online and have the order delivered to our front doors, even if we live in an apartment complex.  A small fee is involved, but delivery people aren't allowed to accept tips.  Another option is to pick your order up at your local Walmart right at the curb.  That service will be free.  What a great convenience for people who aren't able to take themselves to the grocery store.

Walmart to Go! sounds like a great idea.  Many people are doing their shopping online.

I don't have a Walmart in my town, but I can imagine people doing their grocery shopping during their lunch break and having it ready to pick up curbside on their way home.

The delivery option sounds great for people who cannot get out on their own.

Sounds like it will be a flop like so many that have tried this before.

Sound like a great option, I hope we get it here. That will make it easer to only buy what is on your list.

This sounds great! What an excellent idea for WalMart to test.  I hope it works. This would benefit a large segment of our population.  Way to go Walmart.

I used to work at a wal-mart.  And there was talk among management that delivery services were being worked out.  I too agree this service is great for those unable to get to the store.  I just hope the fee isn't to rich.  I don't agree with not tipping the delivery drivers... knowing how wal-mart pays it's associates and treats them for that matter accepting a tip as a delivery driver seems justified.  I know if you need help loading something whether it be from site to store or an ordinary store pick up associates aren't allowed to accept tips than either.  In fact when I was a cake decorator I had customers leave change and dollars up on the counter.  I would turn the money into customer service where it was than donated to the children's miracle network.

I haven't heard about it, but if it keeps all the welfare people out of the store, I'm all for it. It makes me angry to see other people spending the money I worked hard for.

i do some online shopping at walmart for cleaning items and such..it would be nice to be able to get food delivered...we live in the woods as my hubby calls it,i say we just have trees around us..lol...somedays it would be nice not to go to the grocery store..i try to order as  much online now as i can...i will definitely be checking this out and keep an eye out for when it will be available in my area

recently heard about this and thought what a great idea!  Especially helpful for disabled, elderly and even young moms!

Was this part of a study you were not suppose to say anything about?  Just curious.  Honestly, I do not see this happening.  They would have to have a min purchase order and I live in a rural area and you could drive quite a ways just to deliver a few items.  As for not accepting tips, I can't see the pay being good enough to keep delivery drivers.  As the price of gas keeps rising people could not afford to run all over town.  Just too many negatives.  I don't see it being something that makes it.

Wow, I wonder if they would deliver too me. I shop their a lot. But I live 80 miles away. HeeHee. Know darn good well they want deliver too me. Oh well I do enjoy going to a lot bigger town to shop. I save so much money and get to have lunch out.

I rather go to the store to get my own groceries, but it'll be great for people who can't make it to the stores.

[LaTashaS28]

This sounds like it would be good for people who love to shop online, great idea for Walmart to do this

[mjdoug03]

Never heard of it!  I do like walmart though.  I'll see if I can find it.

I saw that during a commerical survey and saw one for Target on tv today

I like actually going to the store to comparison shop and use coupons so I probably wouldn't use it. I see how others would benefit from it though.
