Why WalMart Sucks

I want to inform you what has happened to me when I've bought a present to my wife via Walmart. Com online store. I've chosen a bracelet for $ 309 and added a gift wrapping. The Company is reliable and famous that is why I've been shocked to get my present without the wrapping. Gift wrappers missed that and sent me the order as it was, NO gift wrapping. I called the store support and assistant told me that such situation is completely impossible because the gift wrapping service for the item I've bought is simply unavailable, remember that they still charged me for the gift wrapping. Was it just a kind of mistake or scam? What is more, just not long ago they sent me the gift, wrapped, but of such poor-quality and right now it seems to me that the Gift Wrappers at Wal-mart are in a big rush to wrap as many gifts as they could.

    So, did they send it wrapped or unwrapped?
  • sounds to me like he got one unwrapped and one wrapped - should be larfing not complaining, mate! :rotfl:

    Walmart don't suck because they forget the giftwrap, they suck because they bully suppliers, treat their staff like crap and drive local businesses out. That being said I am still a guilty Walmart shopper. Don't hate the player, hate the game. lol?
