Well if you were near a computer on Wednesday you probably saw posts for crazy cheap items at Walmart.com including $29 ride on cars, $7 high chairs and more. We told you about some of those deals.
As suspected, the pricing was due to a glitch in their system and most orders have been cancelled. Some people were lucky enough to get the items that they ordered. We were 50% lucky; one of our orders was cancelled but the other was fulfilled and we picked up our $7 high chair yesterday at Walmart! With a niece that is expecting, this was perfect timing.
Check your email to see if Walmart sent you a cancellation notice. One awesome thing that Walmart has decided to do for customers with cancelled orders is to reward them with a $10 Walmart gift card. That is a nice gesture, one that is costing them a lot of money. They did not have to do that. We like to think of it as good customer service; we are now $10 richer than we were before!
Here is what our email said:
And this is what arrived early this morning via email:
We wanted to update you about this situation. We know many of you ordered items, and we also know that there is a thrill in the hunt of a great deal. With online deals, sometimes you win and sometimes you loose. It’s up to you how you look at the end result.
