I don't know about any of you - but it's a bit hard weeding through the dozen or more Wal-Mart threads. It'd be nice to have a thread with just the latest info, news articles, pick-up successes, and if anyone starts getting their items shipped ...

UPDATE @ 9PM 11/7 - Wal-Mart is now emailing out the $10 gift cards. No limitations or spending requirement.

UPDATE @ 11:00AM 11/7 - Wal-Mart is now INTERCEPTING already shipped orders! So until you actually have the item in hand, there is a chance, even if it is shipped, that you will not receive it


UPDATE @ 8:16 - 11/6 - glen107wood received this email:


Dear Customer,

Last night and this morning we experienced a technical error that caused many items to show incorrect pricing. We are working to quickly resolve the issue. Unfortunately, given the wide discrepancy in pricing, we have canceled your order.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and will be sending you an email with a $10 e-gift card (one per customer) within the next 5 days. We appreciate your business and look forward to you visiting walmart.com again soon.

Sincerely,
Your Walmart.com Customer Service Team


-------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

Online orders for shipping are now being canceled across the board, although some items are shipping. Looks like their policy is that they are not going to honor the prices, and it's pure luck whether you are able to get anything shipped or not.

Quote from TS_TS :
I think what I have gathered from this thread and 100+ pages of others so far is this:

If you made an order with in-store pickup for today, it will process, but it depends on the managers and employees whether they honor it.

if you made an order with priority shipping EARLY ON it shipped and you are home free

If you made an order with site to store for future date or made a ship to home order with free shipping, you are in order processing limbo

And if you made an order and the credit card company flagged it or something caused the funds to not be immediately paid, walmart has cut you off and you are out in the cold.

Well, this is a completely odd reason to cancel my in-store pickup after I had confirmation this morning it's ready for pickup on the 55" Samsung.

Your order was canceled on Wednesday, 11/06/2013

Item was missing from box: -$348.74

How the heck do you not know a TV is in a box? This'll be a fun fight after work.

Quote from mjschmidt3 :
Just got cancellation notices for four different blu ray/dvd box sets, both for in store pickup and ship to home over three different orders. Other box sets of lesser retail value still shown as processing.

Do you know when you received your confirmation for those? I know on other price mistakes, they've set up a cut off time and only the ones who got in earlier enough got it. Other times it's limited to a certain number of each item. Who knows how Wal-Mart will do it, but I'm still curious about your confirmation time if you have it handy.

Everything else that he's selling is over $300. He's new, but it seems weird that he'd have only 1 item dirt cheap rather than all if it were a scam. Does it say when he joined?

I wonder if they'll actually ship?
It's interesting to see that even sellers on Amazon have been affected

I hear you thund3rcat... At the same time, if he joined 3 weeks ago, it has a better chance than if he joined today. Then again, it probably doesn't matter.. He's likely to be too small of a company to honor it like mari.posa mentioned.

My bet is it should have been listed at 2,999.99

Seeing more reports of orders placed online for shipping being canceled .. Please post if you get a cancellation email for an order placed online with only shipped items (it's been reported that cancels have come from orders placed with a mix of shipped and pickup items).

Seller will just have to issue refunds, and chances are will have to create another account. There is zero chance of this shipping - this is a small seller with 4 items who is not going to ship out a $2k laptop for $40.

Yeah, I wish eveyrone would post a date stamp of when order ordered and method of shiping. Maybe we'll be able to figure out a trend.

orders are definately being cancelled since items are back in stock. Items that were previously sold out in an instant like the kitchens, power wheels, etc.
