Anecdote: I filtered to “sold by Walmart” (I forget the exact terminology, but customer support confirmed it was not from a marketplace seller), but the item I received had an Amazon return label and was shipped from an Amazon warehouse.
That was the last time I bought from Walmart in an attempt to avoid Amazon’s shenanigans.
- abracadaniel 3y agoThere is absolutely a tier of marketplace seller that bypasses that filter. I was trying to buy rechargeable batteries just yesterday and noticed this. If you look carefully, they are still listed as sold by a marketplace seller. Very frustrating, as it’s gotten nearly impossible to find a retailer that isn’t secretly selling me crap from the back of someone’s van.

- bradfa 3y agoThat’s frustrating. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at many of my interactions with Walmart when ordering online. Once even got same day delivery for free and without requesting it. Maybe I’m an outlier?
