Review of Walmart Grocery Delivery customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is Walmart Grocery Delivery registered on BBB?
Walmart Grocery Delivery is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
All was going great until about 4-6 months ago when Walmart.com apparently began routing ALL of my grocery orders through the 3rd party company Spark. This company (Spark) is the MOST unprofessional, inefficient, inept company and has no right being in the "grocery shopping and delivery field." Every single order, twice per month, ordered through Walmart.com (website not app) has been routed to Spark, Spark then gets my order, does the shopping and deliveries it. EACH order for countless months has been missing food, substitutions clearly on my order aren't used, instructions about the types of produce aren't followed, and all produce is over-ripe or rotten.
For each order, twice a month, for countless months, I've had to then go through that extreme distress, my ill dog and myself not getting what we need, or getting rotten uneatable food, many times leaving us without our food, followed by me having to then call walmart.com demanding refunds for the missing items, or rotten food, spending a minimum of 1-2 hours on the phone, day or night, demanding refunds and promo codes for the time and distress I've been put through.
Each time they have provided me with refunds and promo codes without a problem; however that is not solving the issue. However, being on a low income budget, I can't ever replace the food with a new order until waiting for the refund to go through - the entire process is absolutely distressing and stress inducing, and then, placing a new order doesn't help, because my grocery orders are being routed to Spark each time.
Today, 100% out of food to each as of tomorrow, I got my card ready to place my grocery order, but refusing to go through that distress again, I contact Walmart.com to have them block Spark from my orders. Here's where it gets really bad. Six calls, 9 different individuals, multiple countries, 3 wrong transfers and 1 person who dropped the call later, I was told by countless agents from Walmart.com and their supervisors, that they have no control over this. I asked a very "tech-savvy" question. "Once I place the order, their back-end automated system is routing my grocery orders to Spark, I would like you to block Spark from my account."
Each and every person on the phone had no tools or options to do this, nor did they have any idea to. Four hours, 6 calls and 9 people and not one person was able to block Spark from my account nor did any of them have any idea how to stop Spark from taking my orders rather than Uber. The store itself (local to me) feels terrible for me - the only solution they could think of was for me to order directly through Uber. Sounds great? Not so much, Uber isn't free and I'm already paying for Walmart+ for free and fast deliveries (not only for food other wise I'd stop it completely).
I demanded help, 4 hours lost, extreme distress, no dinner eaten, almost time for me to go to bed, my dog needs to be walked and Walmart.com HAS NO ABILITY TO TRANSFER YOU to the Executive Offices, Tech Support or any other department.
Spark's app that their drivers use don't show them the instructions on our orders, don't show them substitutions, countless Spark drivers have told me this, but to be honest, but for 1, I think they're all lying and most can barely speak or read English for me to believe they've actually thoroughly looked at my order would be foolish.
If that isn't bad enough, and all of this certainly is, it's impacting one of my health conditions, the one that requires me to shop there, because Walmart is the only store that has the variety of foods that I need for my medical diet impacting one of my health conditions (local to me) - they then gave me for the phone number for Spark Customer Service to see if they could block my address/name/orders, 2 phone calls and 3 transfers later (on top of what I already told you time and number wise with Walmart.com - it wasn't Spark, it was "Walmart Spark Driver Support." There isn't actually a phone number for Spark Customer Support.
This is unethical, immoral and irresponsible of Walmart.com. Spark is truly an awful company having no right being in the grocery shopping and delivery market. They are sub-par, I've not had 1 shopper/driver in countless months who didn't mis-shop, leave food off my order, didn't check for substitutions, or that didn't deliver me rotten produce, or defrosted frozen food. Every single order, twice a month for countless months or more.
Walmart.com as a company has no right routing our grocery orders to this awful company customers cannot call, with no choice to the customers, when they clearly also use Uber and I'm bound to them due to their variety of items for me to eat, no other store local to me, who delivers has them.
This is truly the most irresponsible thing I've witnessed going wrong (AI/online/automated) since it's gotten as bad as it has "2026." 4 hours, 6 calls, 9 people (excluding the 2 calls and transfers to Spark itself) and not one person in Walmart.com, in multiple counties was able to do anything regarding this back-end system that continues to route my orders to that awful company.
Something needs to be done. Spark itself should be thrown out of the grocery shopping and delivery service itself, their app is awful (so say the shoppers/drivers) and so are their shoppers and drivers, but I'm not choosing Spark, WALMART.COM is forcing my orders to go to them. Walmart.com needs to be held accountable for having an automated system in place as describe in this complaint that absolutely (apparently) no one in their entire Walmart.com customer service team is monitoring and/or is able to control or change settings to, nor do customers have delivery settings for this.
Help is greatly needed, please.
Have used their service 6 times, 2 were good, 2 meh, 2 wtf.
It's really hard for me to walk, or even push a cart for long. By the time I get from my car to the front door, I'm in a lot of pain. I'm also in high risk for COVID. Even though I'm vaccinated, the vaccine doesn't work with the new strain. So all in all, I'd rather not have to go out to get groceries.
My third delivery, even though instructions asked for delivery to my front door, because it's hard for me to get around... Walmart Grocery Delivery left everything in my driveway.
Today, I was scheduled for an 8 to 9am delivery. So I went out early, moved my car so they could back up close to my ramp onto the front porch. Made sure that the path was clear... no sticks or dog bones. Even left an extra cash tip on the door.
At 8:41am, I get an email saying that the order will be delayed. At 9:01am, I get an email saying that they are too busy, and canceled my order.
They didn't ask about if I wanted to reschedule, or they'd send it out in another hour or two. They didn't call me. I check my email once every 6 months, just happened to check it because they were late.
Heck, they didn't even text me.
They just unilaterally decided to cancel the order.
So I wasted 40 minutes making/placing my order, an hour just waiting, another 20 minutes moving the car etc.
Wtf
F Walmart
The last time I stepped foot into the Walmart, a good 6 months ago, I was looking for a neck massager for my wife. She has frozen shoulder and the old one caught on fire.
Online, it showed that there were 5 varieties in stock, I even wrote down the plu for a couple that I was interested in. It really bothers her, so I didn't want to waste 2 days for Amazon delivery.
I wandered around for nearly an hour. Being a man, I didn't want to ask where it was, but I was in so much pain after 15 minutes, I was drenched in sweat. Really. I asked no less than 6 employees where massagers were.
Some pointed me to the pharmacy area, which is where I first looked. Repeatedly. Someone said the home goods. Nope.
Asked one to look up the item using the plu with their little tablet. Nope, too busy, go ask someone else.
Even had one tell me to go to auto.
Last person I asked, was actually a man in his late 50s, early 60s. He said, "not in this department", and walked away. I did not expect such a FU reply from him. The kids, yes.
I left my cart, even with refrigerated items, right where I was, and hobbled out. That was the last time that I stepped foot inside the store.
Customer care is a joke. You just get a form letter saying they are sorry and look forward to my business.
F Walmart.
Why do I have to even give them 1 star.
So I'm going to the bank and putting a stop payment on the transaction because all Walmart does is gives you the run around and never solves the problem
A month ago my groceries were delivered to entirely the wrong address. Still waiting on resolution for that…can easily see in previous delivery photos of my door and home. So when I got the notification and photo I immediately seen it was delivered to the wrong address. The customer service representative ask me if I was sure that wasn't my house …like really. Then when I asked can the just redo my order since it's late in the evening and my kids are ready to eat but I have no groceries. Walmart Grocery Delivery advised me no and I will need to reorder myself and Payfor the groceries all over again….
Another instance order groceries for pick up
Got the notification order was ready went up the store checked in. My mother and I waited 45min-hr for our order. And again missing items and contain some items we didn't even order.
Now yesterday my mother asked me to order food for her home. When the driver arrived. They called and my father and friend had to obtain the groceries from the drivers vehicle. And again wrong and missing items
I'm done. Deleting their app and sticking to target the have amazing service and if something is wrong the immediately take of the issue.
The icing on the cake is that even though an order would get canceled, the driver still gets the tip whether they delivered your order or not. I guess since you're billed separately for the tip, that still gets taken out of your account after an order has been canceled. Regarding a previous small delivery order that never showed up and got canceled, I called and asked why I was deducted $8 from my bank towards the Walmart driver tip 3 days after the order was canceled, but they were clueless and kept insisting that the order was canceled. I kept saying I know that, but the delivery part didn't get canceled and I was charged today! We went back and forth and I got nowhere so I gave up. I wonder how many other people this happened to.
Once again, this was my first time using the app and I am extremely disappointed. I understand that glitches happened and they were probably busy with orders that were in their system but I cannot accept the fact that the third party's phone number *******524) always went straight to voicemail and no one called me back after I left several voicemails in the span of 2 hours.
I used Instacart the following day and I am happy with they services.
Also do your research and read the reviews please.
After the problems I had with the service I found out why.
I researched online and discovered that many drivers refuse to deliver for Walmart on a nationwide scale. Apparently, Walmart contracts through several third party delivery places like Instacart, Door Dash etc. The drivers are told Walmart Grocery Delivery won't have to wait more than five minutes in the pick up area for our orders to be brought to their cars. There are TONS of reviews by drivers stating that they get stuck waiting 30 - 45 minutes for an order to be brought out. This makes them late on all other orders they had lined up at other stores to pick up and deliver. Therefore, MANY drivers select the "block Walmart" option on their order page. They then never see Walmart orders available again. THIS is what causes so many of us to have issues with Walmart delivery. Walmart can never get drivers to come get our orders.
I always tip well. I live near the store. I was so so excited to discover Walmart delivery services because at my specific store they deliver almost ANYTHING the store sells, not just groceries. I was so very excited to be able to order everything I need for office, granddaughter, food, etc. BUT with every single order being a problem. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I am sadly going to not continue. My free trial is up tomorrow. I will cancel.
I have placed four orders (Due to snow in TN, they shut down delivery for a week so I really only got a one week free trial but that is okay).
I placed first order. It never showed up. After two hours on the phone it was determined the driver canceled and they could not find another driver before they closed delivery for the night.
A nice young man on the phone at the actual store was super helpful. He called his manager at home and the manager authorized a refund, and a $95 Walmart gift card as an apology.
I re-ordered everything and it was delivered the next day.
Then I place second order.
It was canceled without explanation.
Their app also claims YOU canceled the order, when in fact THEY do it and never even bother to let you know until you check why it has not arrived. And on this order, I paid for express two hour delivery. Again, two hours on phone and discover no driver available.
Third order. No show. Canceled by the store because they did not have enough employees that day to shop the delivery orders so the manager apparently canceled EVERY delivery and pick up ordered scheduled for after 6 pm that day. My money was again refunded, which does not help, when I need the groceries! Final attempt. Placed order number FOUR. Canceled. No notification. Just does not show up. I check app and it says order on the way. But it was not. Called store and was told, again they had no drivers.
I'm done.
1) Grocery items available in store that used to be regularly delivered are not for delivery customers anymore
2) Sending bad produce, including rotten bananas, the puniest bell peppers, and puny, unripe cantaloupe.
3) Bad substitutions, such as I ordered a case of 16 oz bottles of drinking water and Walmart Grocery Delivery replaced it with 2 gallon jugs of water or I ordered seedless grapes and they replace it with seeded grapes instead of choosing a different color seedless
4) Driver no shows. In one such case they kept promising it within the next hour, then it was going to come the next morning. In the morning they sent a text saying it was cancelled as requested. I had not requested a cancellation. I had company coming, so I quickly did a pick up order. On the way home with my order, I get a call saying they gave me someone else's order. So I had to return and wait to switch it. I've also had them cancel many pick up orders, saying I cancelled it, when I didn't
5) Driver's not following directions. I want it under my carport and I want the doorbell to be rung. Simple, right? It didn't happen 70% of the time. I've even had them leave it in the middle of my drive way. Once they put it in the wrong place and gave me someone else's order.
In conclusion, both Wal-Mart pick up and Wal-Mart delivery are rotten services, with enough spots of good in it to keep your hopes up.
But this one was their last chance. Even though I still have several months left of unlimited free deliveries, I'm switching to another grocery service and I won't be buying from them. Good bye Wal-Mart and good riddance.
After I canceled my subscription I decided to give pick up one last try. I placed an order days in advance, got a notice 15 minutes before my scheduled pick up time that my order was ready. I show up and every bay is full. I check in, and wait 15 minutes. In that time people start leaving, but no associates are coming out to bring orders. I call the number posted on the bay and it SENDS ME TO A FULL VOICEMAIL! I open a customer service chat and he says he will call the store. Turns out their own customer service agents can't get them on the phone.
I open my instacart cart app, place the exact same order and am pleasantly surprised find it's $10 cheaper. Yay!
I cancel my Walmart order (it's been 30 minutes now) and as I'm pulling out I finally see an associate coming out with her blue crates. I check to see if they might be mine. Nope. They are for only one person. Keep in mind all the bays are full and so is overflow. I hear someone yelling they've been waiting for over two hours! Seriously two hours!
By the time I get home, my Instacart order is waiting. No substitutions needed.
No one should be using Walmart.
