That's how I look at it, you give me free shipping and make it easy for me to shop with you, and I'll do all my grocery shopping with you. Walmart gets something and I get something too. I hope they don't stop, if they do they won't get anymore plus money from me, the free delivery is the only reason I have the service.

    For someone who depends on delivery services due to my health, Target is way too expensive and no subscription is going to change that. Only thing I pay for is Amazon because it's all inclusive. I can get groceries, toiletries, and household items in one place. I've never had a problem with items coming on time and they always have items in stock. That's the MAIN difference between all of these other places. Walmart is infamous for never having what you want same as Target and especially for these grocery stores. Amazon is the only way to go.

    • @bvtgamer5707
      @bvtgamer5707 4 місяці тому

      Yeah having stuff delivered from store when you ordered with shipping creates a whole new issue. You can't tip the driver in the app if you don't know some of your things are coming from the store. I have had two packages sitting at Walmart this week for days
      the drivers are refusing to deliver to my address because they aren't being tipped .. they have no idea if I will give them cash or not at the door because they have never knocked or rang my bell one time ever in all of the shipping/delivery from store orders I have placed. So because I didn't tip on the app (you can't if you choose shipping) they are now black listing my address and refusing to deliver here. It's absolute b.s to have paid for my stuff and have it held hostage because "petulant children" can't be bothered to the ring the bell at my house in case they will get cash at the door. .. . After this week I'll be canceling my plus membership and not doing subscription services again. It's been a nightmare

    I just dumped Amazon Prime for Walmart Plus and I absolutely LOVE Walmart Plus. That whole Amazon "two day shipping" thing didn't always work. I also added the Walmart Plus $40 upgrade for a years tip-free delivery and it is awesome! I have not been in a grocery store for the past year and don't miss it. Also, I never cared for the Amazon music or movies anyways, so I was wasting money on something I didn't use. They can keep it. I never really wanted their movies nor did I care for their selection. When Amazon revamped their pickup charges on returns for refunds or exchange, that's all it took to trigger me to dump Prime and make the change. I had to ask myself WHY was I paying Amazon $140 per year to drive to a Kohl's to drop off an Amazon return to get free shipping. Walmart's shipping and returns are better. Oh! and Paramount Plus on the other hand has a lot more value for me. AND They had the Superbowl!
    Prime was good at $79 without movies while it lasted. All I wanted was better shipping and no-charge for pickups for returns.
    Times Change. I LOVE my Walmart Plus! ! ! ! !

    So in conclusion they are targeting lazy people who don’t want to go inside a store…..

      Definitely not me since I’m not lazy and am able bodied and physically active and fit

      Not necessarily (although that's definitely a demographic they're catering to). But it's also a convenience for parents with babies/small children, for seniors and those caring for the elderly, for people who are recovering from surgery or medical treatments (like chemotherapy) and are immunocompromised, people who are physically or mentally challenged....Good reasons to offer accessability to include all customers, yet I don't think there needs to be a subscription service to receive free shipping - especially since most stores include free shipping when you place a minimum order to $50 (or less, depending on the store).

    Target sucks. Happy with Amazon and Walmart.

    I love my Walmart plus subscription. I don't shop at Target, they're too woke for me.
