I recently switched to Walmart Plus. For me, on the whole, it's better:
- Shipping times are faster than Amazon. I do consistently see same-day delivery, whereas Amazon almost never did, and had frequent delays (in my area)
- Less of a problem with comingling / fakes
- Returns work better.
- So far, no broken / damaged packaging. Amazon would e.g. toss delicate items, a heavy bottle of detergent, and sharps in the same box with no packaging, with the expected results.
On the downside:
- It's slightly more expensive. On the whole, went accounting for broken / damaged items, fakes, etc., I still think I come out ahead.
- Less selection of esoteric items. I just order those from Aliexpress, Amazon, or eBay (and wait until I get up to $35 free shipping for the former). Amazon never shipped those quickly in either case.
This was not based on unions or ethics. Amazon worked great for me through 2020. It broke in 2020, and since then, I've had consistent issues. Customer service is also no longer empowered to resolve issues.
- plagiarist 3y agoYeah, this one works okay for you, but I don't see someone making a switch from Amazon to Walmart if they're concerned about unions or ethics.
