CHILLIN 1,705 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 We have recently getting groceries and pharmacy from Walmart delivery. The experience is spotty but improving rapidly. The drivers are always courteous and masked. To their detriment, Soriana does not deliver from Chapala. With all the construction and quarantine, this may be a good option for many.

CHILLIN 1,705 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yes, that has happened in the past, but I think they are genuinely trying to improve and make this service the profit center it should become. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JKL 11 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 What do they charge to deliver? Is it a flat fee, or by number of items, etc ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CHILLIN 1,705 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Flat fee. 39 pesos. If you order a certain amount, then they waive the fee. Bargoon! Just have to get used to the idiosyncracies of living in a small town in Mexico. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I grew tired of that so I always pay cash now. Much easier. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now they call to tell you what they don't have and immediately refund the money. No waiting. The delivery fee is based on your location and how much you spend. I am a long distance so if I spend less than $1500, I am charged $39 pesos, more than $1500 that the delivery is free. They new system allows for pieces such as 3 tomatoes instead of guessing weight. I had a new person who brought 4K of tomatoes instead of 4 tomatoes. I think the driver pulls the orders he will deliver. It's not easy training the people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JKL 11 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Do you place the order by phone or on line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CHILLIN 1,705 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 That would be online. Sometimes they phone before delivery, sometimes not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Citimowse 1 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Apparently, they do keep improving. I ordered online a full grocery order of a few dozen items, gave my credit card number as I saw no option to pay cash or cc on arrival (this may be a change as they did not bill until arrival), then got a call back an hour or so later offering substitutions for 3 unavailable items, 2 of which were fine for me, but Italian salad for Caesar wasn't what I was looking forward to. Order arrived an hour later (and an hour earlier than my scheduled window) by a polite, masked delivery person, who personally double checked the receipt in front of me before pulling out his credit card machine and asking for my card to make the purchase (maybe this is standard now to avoid the issues with waiting for refunds?). Anyway, the fresh shrimp was cold, the frozen salmon fillets still frozen and separate, and I only got billed once, receiving the email notice from my bank immediately after the delivery person person gave me the store itemized bill and newly authorized credit card receipt. If they keep this us, I will probably no longer actually go into the often-crowded building. Separately, should I tip the delivery person? I usually tip all delivery, except not sure with a Walmart employee that isn't a bagger, so I wasn't sure. And I didn't notice their precooked foods being on the site (I could have missed that easily, as translating spanish to english on the fly is my weak point), and sure would have liked to add some of their deli items. Did I miss that? Thanks for all the helpful information, and I hope I added a bit more continuing good news to this very helpful thread. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cyberjack 2 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 We always tip the driver. 39 pesos per trip does not a living make. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
