I've been using the Walmart app on my android phone for a good 3-4 weeks now with excellent results. Aquired good amount of 22lrs, 9mm, 380, 7.62 and 223 rounds during that time. Luckly I have 13 walmarts in my city and was able to hit the walmarts that have the ammo in stock.
You can find the free walmart app on android market or itunes. And these are what I learned so far while using it.
1. When it shows the ammo is in stock, it means several things. As soon as the ammo is scanned at the main warehouse, it shows its in stock. That means the ammo is anywhere from the main warehouse, on a truck and being still transported to your walmart. Or, it's sitting in the back of the stockroom at your walmart (in pallets) and not taken out to the floors yet. Or, shady employees are hiding it so they can buy it later.
2. Walmart is the most efficient and has the most advance inventory management in the world. If the employees are telling you different about the app, then they are misinformed or wrong. There are too many coincidence where I went to the walmarts that showed "in stock" and it was there. And too many times, after I buy the last box, 10-30 mins later, it shows "out of stock".
The other day, I went to one of the walmarts early to pick up some 22lrs that shows in stock early in the morning. Was told by the worker there that they didn't get any shipment in that morning. I stated otherwise...... manager even came to me and stated the same thing. Instead of arguing, I left to hit up other walmarts. Came back 1 hr later (app still showing its in stock), sure enough........ after I left, 20 mins later, they brought out that night's ammo shipment. Same again with walmart #2. Worker and manager there swore there was no shipment. But according to the app, the ammo that shows "in stock". changed to "out of stock" by 10am.
3. When it shows "limited stock", it means there are only 1-3 boxes left.
4. Find out when your walmart start selling their ammo. Usually the ammo shipment arrives in the evening and they wont start selling it until the morning. Mine is usually around 7-8am. Every walmart runs different. Some have 3 box limit, some has 1 box limit, some open at 7am, some sell ammo all night. I usually check the inventories at night and plan which walmart to hit in the mornings. Usually the app gets really busy around 6-8am and might crash.
5. The people I've been telling to about the walmart app been getting really lucky. Sure beats waiting in huge lines at bass pro shop or academy. The lines are usually sparse here since not alot know about the app.

Happen to stumble on a gold mine at glockforum.com forum. Using the Walmart app to scan barcodes off ammo boxes to search certain ammo that is not showing up on the usual search. So naturally they saved the pics of the barcodes. Now I can search for tulammo for 9mm.

all I need to know is what app do u use to get the inventory updates I can not seem to find any app anywhere to help me pls help tnx.... Jennifer my email is : [email protected]
I made a backup of my app in Titanium Backup and went ahead and updated the Walmart app. Still showing the same stock status which is "Inventory stock unavailable." I suspect this means there will be SOMETHING at my local store tomorrow, but unfortunately, I won't be able to check.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Some people are having issues. We are not. The app works 100% flawless for us. You have to monitor the inventory levels daily at the minimum. We have several deals with the people that work and we drop them some cash for the heads up

Absolutely an incorrect statement. Their inventory is accurate and real time. The app posts as updates are forced to their site(s) and servers. Migration through the network happens in minutes. To be realistic I have watched ammo being purchased and see the inventory levels change. We understand how their inventory program works, we also have our own litle tool that allows raw data to be parsed to a spreadsheet of sorts. We see live data. The phone apps work well. Speaking of theft, Ammo theft at Walmarts is really nonexistant. They watch high dollar items and ammo closely. If you know of ammo getting stolen from a Walmart I will have to assume several people are involved.
standard protocol for Ammo at Walmart is it stays locked up and a managers releases it to the clerk on duty. Inventory on ammo is taken at least once a day. This is for all ammo that is not 22 or shotgun (since these arrive via normal WM trucks) other ammo arrives by private carrier. It is difficult to steal ammo from WM unless several employees are in on it. So it would take a manager or assitant manager to successfully get away with it.
Inventory on ammo is not taken once a day. If that were true my stores that always show in stock would change to OOS within a day.
Where do you get your info from? The internet?
