My Walmart account was hacked. I originally had the account under my phone number and *********2020@*****.com. I then put it under **************@*****.com and that email was hacked. I have called Walmart customer service probably six times to delete my account and they won't do it. I can no longer access the account at **************@*****.com. It is under ************. I need to make a new account under my phone number and it is not allowing me to do it. I keep getting an error message saying my account is deleted but when I enter the **************@*****.com, I get a sign in prompt. I need the Walmart IT department to delete all of my accounts under these emails and phone numbers so I can create a new account and get my food delivered.Business Response

I ordered two latest version of Apple watch SE2 (Apple part number MXEK3LL/A) from Walmart.com on 3/7/2025 but what I received were wrong items. I received two older version of Apple watch SE2 (Apple part number MRE93LL/A). I contacted Walmart multiple time for a return and refund but they keep giving me wrong instructions or refuse to process further. For example, the hotline rep ask me to go to the store to return but in fact the store **nnot take a wrong item be**use they need to s**n the actual product but it doesnt match with what in the system. I **ll the hotline again and again and asked to es**late to the back office to give me a Fedex shipping label to send back the product but they refused. They ask me to dispute from thr financial institute for it but in fact my order was using Walmart gift**rd. There is no way for me to dispute with bank. The hotline actually offered a "refund only" solution and no return required. I refused be**use I have expenerience of Walmart account banned from purchase be**use of "Return Violation". If I simply refund for a delivered item and soon after that will trigger on my account and I will no longer able to buy from Walmart, This is the reason why I insist to get the wrong product returned. I request they give me a Fedex return label and send me the correct items to my address: **** ********** Dr, ******** Park, ** 91754Business Response

Booked travel with Walmart plus travel June 23, 2024 for travel on December 20 - 24, 2024 with itinerary number **************. At the time of booking, there was a promotion for 20% of the itinerary costs in the form of a Walmart cash rebate. It was to be granted after travel is complete. Walmart cash was never received and calls to Walmart were made on 3/18, 3/25 and 3/28 (also many prior calls but dates not recorded.). Each call grows increasingly frustrating because the result is always the same, "Call us back in 48 hours." There have been 0 results and 0 apparent effort to make good on their promotion. In fact the frustrating, zero response resolution process brings thoughts of fraud to mind. I hope that is not the case. Resolution can only be to provide the20% cash rebate ($507.34)Business Response

I’ve called Walmart.com 6 times in the last 2 weeks regarding 4 items I did not receive. I’ve been told on all 6 calls that “a ticket has been created” and “to wait 48hrs” and each time nothing was done. The representatives were extremely rude and unhelpful yet they promised me a refund each time and I still haven’t haven’t gotten one. I want a refund NOW!

I placed two online orders from the Saginaw Walmart back to back in a span of two days (March 9th and 10th) and both orders were wrong. I received someone else's order for both. I called each time this occurred and Walmart stated they would process a full refund for my order and to keep the groceries that were delivered. I waited the recommended 10 business days for both refunds and called yesterday only to learn no one processed my refunds at all. Then I was told that Walmart would process both refunds immediately and I would hear from someone within 24-48 hours from Walmart about them. I called today to double check since I now did not trust the process and again, I was lied to. Only one refund began processing. The other no one was untouched and now I have to wait until the refund is processed and then 10 more business days. This is theft. I did my part as a gold customer and waited. Walmart failed on their end and I am being punished for it. The two transactions totaled in nearly $350. That's money I've been waiting on to use to buy food for my family. I even asked for a gift card or credit to my Walmart account because again, I plan to use that money to buy groceries.Business Response

Walmart delivery. Spent $112 on order. Received incorrect order. Customer service says three to five business days for refund. Spoke with manager, same info. It is bull that they can take your money in two seconds but takes 3-5 days for refund. I have had to call customer service numerous times since I purchased my subscription regarding orders. I am so dissatisfied with Walmart. Unfortunately I no longer drive this is why I started with Walmart plus. I am paying for a service that I am not receiving Something needs to change in the way companies refund consumers when it through no fault of the consumer. I would love to cancel my subscription, however I am stuck at this point.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because the whole idea for the complaint is the fact is that Walk-Mart takes 7-10 business days to do a refund. Today is day 12, (twelve, XII) and no refund. Yes, I want my refund and NO I should not have to wait this long for the refund when it was confirmed within five minutes of the order delivery to acknowledge that i received the incorrect order. Wal-Mart needs to change this policy. I'm not sure why or how they get away with this. Surely I am not the only consumer to go through this. And this is WHY I filed the complaint. Wal-Mart sure can take your money fast, but consumers have to fight to receive a refund. I just looked at my account and refund has posted. I don't want to drop this. I have waited 12 days to receive the refund that should not have taken more than 24 hours or even should have been immediate.

Order #**************** was placed online on 01/23/2025 in the amount of $1217.63 for 6 tires and installation service I canceled the entire order on 01/23/2025 minutes after placing it. Walmart refunded me the amount of $197.31 for the installation for 6 tires on 01/23/2025. Walmart stated I had to wait until the 6 tires were delivered to store to start a return. I did just that. On 01/27/2025 Walmart refunded me the cost of 2 tires in amounts of $162.46 and $162.48. The remaining 4 tires were never refunded. I've contacted them numerous times about the remainder of my refund. Walmart continues to state the remaining amount of $695.38 would be refunded. To date I have not received my refund.Business Response

I ordered a pair of pants and they were delayed in transit for 23 days. I called customer service and they issued me a refund and told me that if the pants eventually showed up that I could keep them, throw them away, or donate them. The pants showed up 6 days later and I donated them along with all the others to Goodwill. Now Walmart is telling me that if I don't return this particular pair of pants that they are going to recharge the 17.91 for them. I cannot return pants that they told me I could donate. Walmart Customer Service has been unwilling to work with me on this and insists on recharging my card which I now have to get replaced so they don't charge me.

I am rejecting this response because: a WALMART employee himself told me that I could donate or throw away the package if it arrived and I donated it the very next day it arrived. If WALMART has no control over third party companies then WALMART should not be telling people that it’s okay to donate the item.
