Walmart Grocery Pickup Service

Today I am going to tell you about a way to save time on grocery shopping. Walmart is now offering Walmart Grocery on their new Walmart Grocery app and on their website. On a previous post I told you how to earn cash back when you shop online and Walmart Grocery is on the list. So not only can you save time using this new service but you can also earn cash back using Ebates when you order. This new service is very similar to curbside pickup that most chain restaurants are now offering. You place items into your shopping cart on the app or on their website, choose a pickup time, checkout and then pickup your order during your pickup window at the store. You’ll receive a reminder email and if you install the app, a notification will appear on your phone when it’s time to check-in.

I was amazed the first time I used this service. 5 aspects of this service stood out to me.

1. Discount Code

There is a discount code on your first order. I received $10 off my order for being a first time user. You simply must spend $50, which is not that difficult these days.

2. Ease of Use

The app was extremely easy to use and the reminder feature was very helpful. You’ll receive a notification on your phone through the app and you can check-in when you’re on your way to the store. Doing this allows the staff to be ready with your order right when you pull up to the parking area. There is a great search feature. It is easy to read the ingredients and nutritional facts on the photos of the products. Cost per serving is also available just like it would be in the store.

3. Directions

The signage setup in the Walmart parking lot leading you to the Grocery pickup is superb. Their signs match the Walmart Grocery logo and they have orange arrows on the ground pointing you in the pickup direction. Once you park under the orange carport, the app will notify again asking what parking space you are in and what color your car is. The door will open and your order will emerge on wagon in big blue bins with a friendly Walmart associate.

4. Great Customer Service

The associates are friendly and quick; they will verify they have your order and tell you if there were any substitutions. You can have the trunk open or if you have a hatchback, you can get out to open the hatch or they will open it for you. No tips are allowed, the associates simply ask for you to participate in the survey and put their name in the survey. On the first order, they also give you a welcome bag with coupons, a bottle of water and some snacks.

5. Convenience

What can I say, I love this service. Throughout the week I will be adding items to my cart and when I’m ready I will then go to Ebates, link my Walmart shopping trip and then checkout. I have purchased fruit and produce and the associates have selected great looking items. Items that you order go into your favorites and after a while, you’ll simply be able to shop from your favorites. Walmart does offer items based on your cart, think Amazon, people who purchased this, also purchased that. If you forget something or realize that you don’t need an item that you just ordered, according to their help, you can add or edit your order up to your cut-off time.

Changes to your order can be made at any point before your cutoff time, when we transmit your order to the store so they can begin picking your order.

Walmart Help

On my last order I just found out that if you need to pickup your order after your pickup window on the same day you can simply check-in at a later time and they will still bring out your order.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this service. I have used this service around 10 times. Post your comments below if you have used this service or after you try it out because of this article. I look forward to hearing from you.
