And yet I don’t use them. I use Etsy. I use chewy. I use other niche e-commerce but I never use Walmart online.
They can’t just replicate Amazon they have to be better than Amazon.
- megablast 5y agoYou do food shopping on Etsy?? Ok.
- ipaddr 5y agoReally I shop walmart first check amazon for products not available. Usually works out cheaper. Etsy for which products?
- bushbaba 5y agoAmazon’s my go to e-commerce place. I use chewy for dog things due to the 30% auto ship price hack. And niche sites for all else. Amazon just has a superior webpage and shopping experience than all the other major players. If it’s a big ticket item I might get it from a retail store. But with the recent kohls Amazon return policy I’m slowly changing that behavior as well.
- afavour 5y agoI don’t think there’s a big crossover between things people buy on Etsy and things they buy on Walmart. I wouldn’t say they’re replicating Amazon, they’re a brick and mortar chain with thousands of locations. That’s definitely a potential edge over Amazon.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThey are better than Amazon. You can filter search results on Walmart so that you don’t see third party reseller Aliexpress garbage and only stuff sourced by Walmart themselves. Last I checked, Amazon had removed that option as of maybe a decade ago, and they commingle inventory so they do not assure me of any supply chain integrity. And they are more expensive for any dense, heavy, especially liquid products.
- lostapathy 5y agoDoes that filtering on Walmart’s website actually work, though? It’s broken half the time I try it.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI don’t use their website much, but that would be a shame if true. I did notice on the left I can checkmark Walmart as the seller.
- lostapathy 5y agoYeah, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
- bushbaba 5y agoI honestly just don’t care. If I want high quality I don’t go to Amazon I go elsewhere to niche retailers. I never went to Walmart for better quality. Heck that’s why I personally use target more now. Slightly higher price and slightly better quality.
