Deal Details
Apple iPhone XS models (including large capacities and Max variants) are all $199 in-store at Walmart as of this weekend. Definitely a YMMV since these are not showing up in online inventories.

NOTE: Brickseek is showing "NO RESULTS" and Walmart.com is saying "Out of stock" for all SKUs (I checked them all). However, all 4 of the stores I checked in-person did have inventory. This seems very unusual, but I purchased a 256GB XS Max for $199 this afternoon at a store in my area so there are some models out there.

Walmart listing (shows no inventory; see note above) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-.../109707311

No contract/commitment required, but I believe these are only setup to work only with AT&T. I have AT&T so I haven't explored this further.

Clarification: No AT&T account info was needed to checkout. I just asked for the phone at the electronics counter, paid the total, and walked out. I charged the phone, swapped the SIM from my existing phone, and was up and running.

Pretty much that. The step by step is go to warp, post paid, then they do something on the computer, print out the warp order, it asks for a zip code (just give them one, it doesn't pull up account info), then there is a bar code that you get from the printout that they scan to ring you up. Or they could scan the barcode on the back of the box. Then you should be all set. Good luck!

It is a PC terminal, basically a monitor with a keyboard, located at the electronic dept, same location as the cash register at the electronic dept; unless your store has a separate wireless dept or store like in some supercenters, then it is located at the wireless store at the front of the store near the bank, Subway, nail salon, etc. Look for salaried blue-shirt employees such as store manager or electronic manager, who may be much more knowledgeable and helpful, for help if needed. Good luck. hug
Went in shortly after open today and they said the OSL people (postpaid 3rd party) have been in once in the last 3 weeks. Their hours are normally 11a-7p anyway. They could see the phones were in stock and my reservations in the system, but cannot process them without OSL?!?!? Not sure I 100% believe this, but they are going to try to get someone to the store today. I spoke with a manager about the situation and they are going to get the orders processed for me, they just don't know when. Not expecting anything at this point.

No, they did not. The clerk that rung me up was a regular walmart associate, not the celluar people. Yeah...right before I got there, another off the clock associate was checking out with one of the phones.
Anyone else get told that regular employees don't have access (or no inventory) and you have to wait for the cellular rep to come in?

Yes. They were able to see my reservations and that they had them in stock, but supposedly had no access or knowledge to process for purchase, even for device only.

Something positive to share. If you can't get the associates to process your order email [email protected] and give store number and info. I received a call from a very helpful woman that is willing to schedule a time for me to pick up, or possibly from another store in the area. Contact OSL yourself, she called within an hour of sending the message.

Friend, any idea what does it mean by "Limited Finishes Available". For one of the stores, I am seeing this as available status.

If you reserved phones, do you need to wait until Walmart contacts you to pick up? Location is an hour away and don't want to waste time and gas on nothing....

my store associates didnt know anything about the reservation or WARP console. they said only wireless associates do, so call the store and make sure the wireless rep is available before you head out.

Click it and you'll be given available color options. Select what's available and reserve.

Yes, I am at store right now waiting for the cellular guy to come in at 11am. Regular employee at electronics dept said, "This is done by the cellular people."

Update:
The cellular guy came in at 11:05am. Very nice dude. I reserved 6 but picked up 4 only. I left the remaining 2 for the cellular dude. Transaction was smooth unfortunately the WARP system was slow.

You may have to call and find out from the Electronics/wireless Dept when you can come in.
