Waiting for my Walmart order

I drink Taster's Choice instant coffee. I usually get a 7 oz. jar from Duane Reade / Walgreens when it's on sale as it seems to be the cheapest there. Lately, the sale price is either $8.99 or $9.99. It used to be much cheaper. As I am getting low on coffee I keep checking the location near me to see if it's on sale. So far, no luck. It's regular price there is $14.99. That is too high. I checked my two local supermarkets I shop at. They sell it for $14.29 (ShopRite) and $15.99 (Stop&Shop). No way am I paying that. Target sells it for $13.99 but that's also high. I don't have a Walmart near me but I checked out their website anyway to see how much it sells for there. Their price is $12.57. That is still high but as I cannot find it cheaper anywhere else I decided to just order it. Since they require a minimum of $35 to get free shipping I decided to get two jars. That wasn't enough to get to the minimum so I added on a 4-pound bag of sugar in the raw and a 30-oz. jar of Hellmann's mayo as I am getting low on these as well. Total came out to $38.95. I used my OTC card to pay for these items so it cost me nothing in reality. The package is supposed to arrive today. I don't know if items are taken from an actual store or from a warehouse but I thought they'd ship from some nearby location. That is not the case. My stuff is traveling a very long way to get to me. Tracking the package I see this: Package shipped from Troutman, North Carolina. Package received and is on its way to your OnTrac facility Fort Mill, South Carolina. Package received and is on its way to your OnTrac facility in Bridgeport, New Jersey. Package received by your local OnTrac facility and is processing for delivery Maspeth, NY. Package out for delivery Maspeth, NY. It says the package should arrive by 9pm today. I wonder if that will actually happen. I have no idea what OnTrac is. I've never heard of it.

It just means no expected delays or damages. When you order stuff, it varies on where it comes from. If there's a Wal-Mart nearby and the product is In-stock, it'll come direct from the store to you. If you select a dilivary window when ordering delivery, it comes from your closest store if the items are in stock. If you order delivery, ingeneral it comes from a wearhouse. so it can depend.

@lovebuglena Then yeah, likely decided to ship from a wearhouse. In-store deliveries are typically ones where you select dilivery from the app, and then select the options like a time slot or like the 1-3 hours option. It's usually only an option if the store is within a certian range from you.

Good luck with getting your coffee. It would be awful to run out.

@lovebuglena I bought a new large tin the other day. Our favourite brand is half the price of the next.

I’ve never heard of that either, but I’m glad you got a cheaper price.

That is what always tempts me about Walmart usually I order once a month but if my finances rise once again I consider a second order toward the other side of the month hosever what usually holds me off is the I want exporess deliver and with that and the $5 I put in for delivery makes it a heft second order for me but this month I am so tempted to jsut doit I will see what happens at the end of this week,
