In-home has no tipping. We use it every week and the Walmart associate places all our cold items in our garage refrigerator and the pantry items on a cart beside the fridge. It's amazing.

We have had Walmart+ in north Texas for nearly a year and I called them to complain and cancel our membership six months in, because we have consistently (nearly 30% of our orders) had bad delivery service. Items missing, poor replacements chosen, or simply not delivered at all. We've had diapers forgotten or stolen by the driver in several orders.
Walmart has refunded a few orders (even when I did not ask them to - just asking them to send feedback up the chain to the correct local departments so they can train better) in order to keep us as a customer, but they didn't prorate our membership when I tried to cancel.
We've used it since attempting to cancel and had several more poor delivery services. Just this last week they delivered our order with a wrong item to the wrong address, and I had to wander around looking for our order.
Grocery delivery can be a good experience if you love somewhere with a good picker and driver team, but ask your neighbors if you see anyone with Walmart delivery how consistent their orders are. We have hated the Walmart service here and now shop mostly other places and get grocery pickup.
if Walmart did only ship to home orders for non perishables and skipped the local delivery and farmed it out to a better driving service, and focused on refining their grocery pickup system for produce orders, they might have a more superior delivery service.

If I pull the trigger, I think it will just charge me, and then I will have to waste my time fighting with them for free trial

I used to always tip $5 per delivery before this service (more if there was bad weather or we ordered a large grocery delivery with more bags than usual). I figured even we use the service 8 times a year, we'll more than recover the cost just by way of tip savings. And I've been right in that assessment
Some things to expect —
1. The biggest problem with this service is that the delivery slots are only available during regular working hours; no evening slots. So if you don't expect anyone to be home during the day, you can't really use it. You are only left with weekends and you have to remember to order a day in advance cause those weekend slots fill up fast.
2. They have only two delivery slots with wide 4 hr delivery windows. So you have to keep either your morning, or afternoon free.
3. If you happen to have multiple Walmarts that service your address, try them out to ascertain which ones deliver the best grocery. We have three Walmarts that service us. Both get regular Walmarts were horrible. Always delivering near expiry is bad produce. I was sure it was intentional so they can palm off those items to delivery customers. After repeated bad experiences I even complained to Walmart. But then I happen to try the 'Neighborhood Market'. Those are smaller grocery focused Walmarts. And we never had a problem ordering from them.
(Side note - it just so happened that I had spinal surgery recently, so the service came in more handy than I had originally expected. Also, I cannot lift any weight yet, or walk much, so having them leave grocery bags on the kitchen counter was another unexpected blessing).
Internet forums like this breed a point counterpoint kind of banter which can often turn negative. So to return your mild passive aggressiveness, no I didn't miss the point, maybe you missed thinking a bit deeper about my statement before contributing to the convo?
Underlying thoughts behind my statement still hold true in use cases like elderly or otherwise disabled people that can't manage for themselves. I'm well aware of this having aging parents. Factors like...
- Can I trust Walmart to properly incentivise their employees to provide safe, courteous, reliable service in this sector.
- Do I trust individuals in this role to not take advantage of potentially vulnerable people in that private setting
- Many, many more concerns
Based on who I see delivering my Walmart items now the answer to all of the above is "heck no". It seems as if Walmart currently farms this out to a third party with potentially zero oversight over who the actual delivery person is. They don't even go as far as to give the drivers Walmart branded Penny's or hats to identify themselves. They show up in personal vehicles and dressed in casual attire with no identification. This is 180 degrees away from what a person expects of other service persons entering their home.
Maybe I'm wrong and this will be an entirely different delivery staff. But from what I've seen to date and history tells us to expect of Walmart, my gut is more likely to be right. I hope I'm wrong and the people who provide this service will do so with execution similar to what you get from the pharmacy section.

Did they seem to be random drivers operating from a task rabbit style app or more consistent staff trained for this specific service?

All the delivery drivers are associates themselves. They are not Uber / Lyft / Any other 3rd party delivery driver. InHome drivers are Walmart direct employees and you are given their name, photo ID and years of employment when you have anything dropped off. I have said hi to them numerous times when they stop by and chit chat a bit. I don't take advantage of the "garage" or "fridge" delivery perks of the service because it's not needed for me. They just drop it off at the front door like anything else than ring the doorbell and take a picture when done.
Everything DragonflyPunch said is spot on with the downsides. You have VERY LIMITED delivery windows (2 slots per day 4 hours apart). I can not get anything delivered the same day for example if I order anything past 12PM on weekdays or 9AM on weekends. I have to settle for the following days. I can get regular Walmart+ deliveries of course, but those are not InHome associates and use the 3rd party drivers plus require (ask) for a tip.
Talking to the InHome delivery drivers for over a year now, they have clearly stated that the orders are handled by separate associates and not themselves directly. The program implies all orders are handled by Walmart employees through the entire process, but insinuate that the delivery drivers are also the ones picking your order. This is not true, as the drivers themselves literally just drop off the orders that are loaded for them.
They are (at least in my area) constantly overworked. When I first started with the program, my deliveries were always within 2 hours or less of the 4 hour window. Now they often arrive near the end of (or slightly) later than the window due to an overwhelming amount of people starting to use InHome. Unfortunately as well, newer associates who sign up to be InHome drivers often wash out after a few weeks due to how difficult it really becomes to make it on time with all the deliveries. Of the 5 associates I've met, only 2 reliably come back often with a new associate sprinkled in now and then (and assumedly wash out). I ask about the other drivers "if they know them" and they just politely say "they work in another department" now. I get deliveries twice a week by the way.
I want to be clear this is my experience with Walmart+ InHome in SoCal / LA county area. Maybe it's different in other areas.
