Where's Walmart?
« on: November 26, 2019, 06:18:09 PM »
With this thread being dominated by amazon deals, I was wondering; did walmart throw in the towel? What happened to the days of price wars and neck to neck competition?

Walmart is very comfortable with where they are. They are raking in billions from their B&M stores and are I think fine with being 2nd place in the online arena. This could be a mistake on their part... or not. Time will tell.

Maybe it's time to take Walmart out of the board title?

It would be worth it to point out that they upped their shipping game. Ordered something on Sunday morning, they shipped it out Fedex on Sunday and was delivered on Monday morning. Never saw Fedex pick up on Sunday before.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Haha. I have a rocking chair that's been sitting in a box that I hope to open next month when we move to a house.

I've been wishing for one of those, but couldn't have stored it anyways.

Obviously can't expect those kind of extreme price wars, but the total lack of deals is interesting. Unless they're just not being posted on the forums? Look through this thread at the amazon to walmart ratio...

I feel like target would want to jump in right now. With their huge uptick in B&M sales they'd want to show all around dominance with online sales.
I'm not who you think I am.
