SHOPPING ON LINE



I have just wasted a whole lot of time.  On November 25th I placed an order for a small upright freezer to put in my shed, as the freezer in my fridge is not really large enough.  So, yesterday I heard from Walmart that my new freezer was at the Jackson Ave. Store, ready for pick up. 

 Igloo 3.2 cu ft Upright Freezer, White

We arrived, at the store pick up counter, around 11:30, and they finally brought my freezer out of the shipping area at 12:30.  As we were walking out of the store we notice that the box the freezer was in was very damaged, so rather than take it home and find out it was damaged, we decided to strip the box off of it, before we loaded it onto the truck.  I’m certainly glad we did.  There were 3 large dents in the door and the rear corner, was crushed as if it may have been dropped.  We immediately piled the remains of the box and the freezer back into the cart and returned to customer service.  We spent another hour there before we could convince them to refund my money.  They did not have a replacement freezer in stock and wanted to give me a Walmart gift card.  Since Walmart is no longer accepting Canadian Debit Cards, I told them that I have no intention of shopping at Walmart this year until they solve that problem.  

 


They finally agreed to a cash refund.  So then I had to come home and ordered one from Amazon.  It’s the exact same freezer, but it cost a little more with the shipping and all, but it will be delivered right to our door.  




OH WELL, THE ONLY REAL LOSS WAS TIME
