Take in mind the following facts:
You are not the only one who made orders for store pickup
Walmart employees work slow
There is a low amount of pickup cashiers (about 2)
Everyone will likely come for several orders at once (each order is like a new person with a new order number)
They will have an extremely high stock of items to look from making it MUCH harder to find each item
You have only 8 days to pick up your order or it will automatically be cancelled

So what happens to all the stuff that doesnt get picked up, and is sitting in the local store warehouses??

Will there suddenly be lots of Nursery chairs and round tables on clearance in Howell WalMart??

Maybe this is their end game to bring stock to areas where people want this product assuming that many won't be picked up😜

took about half hour to get my one table.
They had to sort through about 100 to find mine.
Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

Was that deliberate, or an ironic typo?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Bozos. Anyways, definitely deliberate. Otherwise doesn't make sense.

Was supposed to be ready for pickup yesterday (as per order confirmation) but did not receive a pick up email and the website says shipped but no check next to "ready for pickup."

Will the 8 days run from the day its supposed to be ready? I only ordered one thing during the Amazon-Walmart skirmish but I don't want it cancelled either.

BTW - I think he meant that Bozos was a typo for Bezos. Just my two cents.

So someone correctly writes Bezos, who is Walmart's biggest competitor, and capitalized as a proper noun should be, and it can be mistaken for bozos?

Green Acres WM. Short line, but SLOW.
I gave my pickup sheet and she told someone to get it from the truck.
I told him I'd shop around a bit and come back.  When I came back, he brought forward a wagon with my things in it and took care of me immediately.

It's about 10 minutes passed the Ohel.
No traveling to NJ for more than $20 round trip.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
