Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

I bought a battery at Walmart last night for my jet ski. On their ad board place above the batteries was ever start maxx 3 year free replacement warranty. I purchased the battery and once I paid the salesperson so here is your warranty papers, it has 1 month free replacement and 6 months prorated.

I said no the ad states 3 year free replacement. She said that ad is for car batteries only. Explained to her nowhere on the battery box or the ad does it say there is a different warranty for a Jet Ski battery. I informed them that this was false advertisement. This was not a cheap battery it was 84.99. So make sure when buying a battery to check to see if their advertisement applies to the battery you are buy. I turned battery back into them and will never buy another one. If possible I will not buy anything from Walmart again.

had 2 of the large Maxx .batters the yellow ones 9 year, put them in tractors, one lasted 1 year and one blew up, as in I can't hear to well in right ear, the other one may have also blew, both looked exactly the same .blew top end on negative end of battery . I buy optimum batters, now you pay more but I have 2 in diesel truck going on 14 year's, of jumping 100 's of things from cats, , cars, semi's, combines, you name it. never have ever failed their about $150 now, . payed, $126 for Maxx and they blow up, just won't get batters from walmart any more.!

My 3 year old Walmart branded EverStart automotive battery failed this last weekend. The battery (Model 47-3) came with a 2 year replacement warranty, and a 72 month pro rated warranty. My battery was purchased in December 2005. I was told that their "system wouldn't allow them to honor the warranty." I asked to speak to the store manager. The store manager was unavailable, but the assistant manager told me the same thing.

I have written a complaint to the company.

Please be aware that Walmart does not honor its extended warranties.

just left wallmart all pissed off. Had a maxx 9year battery that failed 5years into it. ok all seemed fine till they told me they would prorate battery at 40dollars towards another battery, and i would pay difference of 64dollars, but the battery would not have even one day of warranty.So they hold me hostage for the 40 dollars of credit and have me put another 64dollars at a battery that could fail tomorrow. Im done with everstart and wallmart.

Normally I like Walmart, they have a lot of good deals but do yourself a favor, don't buy motorcycle batteries from them. According to what I was told by the automotive department employee who looked up the warranty on his computer, these batteries don't even come with a 90 day warranty (the usual warranty for anything else at WM) - but a 30 day "warranty"

i purchased a lawnmower battery and 3 months later i start my mower and the negative post melted through the battery right under my ###.i took the lawnmower in and had it checked for shorts and they found nothing wrong with the mower so i took the battery to walmart and explained to them what was going on and they told me that they would only refund the battery after three months once three months passed they could not do anything with it. pissed me the hell of i argued and argued and they flat stood there and kept giving me ### about this warranty.i told them it has a 1 year warranty its only three months he pointed behind me and said look 90 days no warranty.of course this 90 day warranty ### was printed smaller then the 1 or more year warrantys so you would not think to read it i say its a bunch of legal trickery myself and walmart can go to hell for all i care.

No, dude. It ain't a "Jetski" - it's a Powerstar, equivalent to Yuasa YTX12-BS (BS like "Bulls**t") but much better. Still showing full capacity after more than 1/2 year. Walmart won't even stand behind their product after 30 days, that tells me everything

Dude you bought a jetski aka a money pit. And everyone with a brain knows that those advertisements are only for car batteries. Also, I've seen those signs, read the fine print and maybe you won't feel so mad because it clearly says automotive batteries only.

Their MAXX motorcycle batteries used to come with a 2 year warranty only a few years ago. Suddenly they changed the warranty to 30 days for the same product. they won't tell you or show any warranty information at all on the box or the shelf. Only if you specifically ask they will look it up in the computer and tell you. I ordered a battery with a 2 year warranty through Amazon.com for about $ 20 less and received it within a few days. It's an excellent battery with excellent consumer ratings, hopefully more riders make the switch and teach Walmart a lesson.

Brought a battery from Walmart for my 94 HD Roadking. It is an Ever Start battery that lost a cell 35 days latter. Went back to Walmart and was told the warranty was up. Real piss off at Walmart. On my reciept doesn't say anything about a warranty or 30 days.This battery should last at least 1 season. Walmart is selling bunk batteries for big money and not pro rating them. My answer to buying a battery from Walmart is DON'T BUY A BATTERY form Walmart

Am trying to contact a manager at the Plano, IL store after I was given his number from a representative at your website. He is avoiding me and the longer he does, the more I realize that if you have a problem with walmart...too bad. Their advertisement for a price match from another store for a product bought at a walmart store is just that..ADVERTISEMENT.

Will never shop at the Pearl City, Hawaii Wal-Mart again! Amanda, the Portrait Center cashier is very rude, defensive, and insincere snot.

"So you wanted the manager and the employee to wipe your ###. I have seen porno films start like this."

Which ones, would those be because none of the ones that I saw started off like this.

" a gift card for $50 and money on a giftcard."

You know working at walmart and seeing customers get gift cards for ridiculous things(not as ridiculous as this) I would not be surprised if you actually got a gift card because the manager refused to wipe your "tooch"

It is a joke Peter. This person is making fun of a self centred nurse that thinks the world owes her.

Are you for real? Did you know that even executives and managers from the headquarters clean up thier own desk and throw away their own rubish? I am also sure that they wipe thier own ### after dunning eventhough they make millions a year.

THEY ARE NOTHING BUT LIEING CROOKS...I USED AN ATM AND REQUESTED $160...THE MACHINE GAVE $60 AND SHUT DOWN...IT GAVE ME A RECEIPT THAT STATED I ONLY GOT $60 OF THE $160...1 WEEK LATER STILL WAITING ON WALMART TO RELEASE THE FUNDS FROM A GOVERNMENT CHECK...I AM BY NO MEANS BAD MOUTHING FOREIGN NEIGHBORS...BUT THOSE OVERSEAS PEOPLE THEY USE ARE TRAINED TO LIE AND YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THEM...I HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MANY DIFFERENT STORIES...FOR PRE PAID VISA GO TO MIO...

Wilkes-Barre Walmart has a policy to check EVERY receipt! It doesn't matter what you look like, if you bought something be prepared to have your receipt checked as you are going out the door. It sounds like you were just itching to be a complainer!

Oh, ... I see, you say, "I knew the receipt was in the store's electronics bag."

So, ... you knew that whole hour you stood there, ...was it a whole hour? Really? ... A WHOLE HOUR that you stood there, while other shoppers came and went around you, Frank making a scene, you calmly standing by, ... FOR A WHOLE HOUR? Really?

Anyway, ...you say you knew the receipt was in the electronics bag. But, "I opened my purse and wallet, having nothing to hide, dumped any and all receipts I had into a shopping cart." ... Really? ... If you knew the receipt was in the electronics bag, why did you do this?

Your story makes no sense.

Showing him everything in your possession, every single bit of paper and receipt you had on you, in your purse, and on your person, ...how does that figure in if you just wanted to be on your way? It would prove nothing to him, ...if he did suspect you were trying to shoplift, showing him every single receipt in your purse proves nothing if he finds nothing - if he does not find the receipt. It only proves him right (IF he, as you say, suspects you.)

Your story makes no sense.

You are either NOT VERY SMART, ...

OR

...you just wanted to make a stink and ZING them/him/Frank/management at this particular Walmart.

And that's not very respectable.

I mean, if you ARE really smart, ...you wouldn't waste an hour of your valuable time in that sort of situation. ...

Are you smart, educated, respected? ... Really?

I don't understand your story. Why didn't you just pull the receipt for the electronic item out of the bag and show him straight up?

You said, "I am well-respected, well-educated...", and "He still claimed he couldn't find the receipt after over an hour..." ----- If you are so smart, didn't you know it was in the bag? ("Electronics came up front, grabbed the bag from the greeter, looked inside, and pulled out the receipt!")

Why in the world would you stand there for over and hour while he hunted for the receipt?

You also say, "...and waited to zing my lawful rights on him." And, "I requested the floor manager, ten minutes later a section manager appeared.I refused to speak with her.Finally, the store manager did arrive.I told her it was within my right to have her call the police and make an incident report." -------- Did you just want to "ZING" them, ...get a bit of revenge for, "This particular male greeter never acknowledged me before, always giving me cursory looks."

Your story doesn't make sense.

Wow I can't believe he didn't just look in the bag in the first place instead of wasting all that time, I mean you obviously were willing to show you weren't at all guilty, he must have been having a boring day to take up all that time.

oh this was directed to kevin richards not you squeaky

shut up about your three months. no one cares. If you came to my store, i would have banned you for life and sued you for the entire extent of the law. It is quiet apparent you learned nothing from your whole ordeal [if even real]. The only thing you took from it was you got banned for 3 months which inconveniences you on not being able to go to the closest store in your neighborhood. DIAF.

Oblige.

...for the one who's going to rise above manipulation and moral castration. He will be the moses of our people and lead the nation in to new age of prescription drugs and lowered expectations. Where-as the alternative is becoming less speculation and more affirmation,

when there is much delegation for the mis-appropriation that followed when it came to funds and education, it makes us a very sad nation when the latter is of the two is of no complication because we believe the congress of this nation will fix the impending nominations. It's all just propaganda and reformation.

It's not a friendly card whatsoever... However, in this case, I would approach the owner of the gas station first. Tell them what happened and get a printout of your transactions from online if possible. Take this to the owner and have them review their video surveillance. If need be, I would tell them you will take the matter to the police. My friend had a similar problem in the gas station he owns and he did reviewed the video with the customer, called the clerk into the office and had him explain. No explanation..just fired and my friend gave the customer back his money with an apology.

Although I do agree that the Walmart card is not a friendly card, I think you can handle this without involving their "customer service" folks.

Having said that, here’s my take on Prepaid Debit Cards (payroll cards) based on my own experience:

The card you have is typical because most cards either have a monthly fee or pretty limited as to the free items.

I have worked at Starbucks for about 7 months now and they allow us to have a card called the Money Manager Card. The choice was pretty simple because there are no monthly fees, I can use it on their network (allpoint atms) free at all times, never any fees to buy things (signing or using my PIN and getting cash back if I want…all without a fee or surcharge), no overdraft. Let’s just say I haven’t paid a fee in the entire time I’ve had the card. It’s pretty simple to use it at no charge and I really don’t have to tip-toe around any limited free items like most other cards I have seen have.

Oh, and don’t lose most payroll cards! If you do, it’ll cost you $$ even to get the replacement sent by the post office. My new card give free replacements when delivered by the post office all of the time. Or, if I want, I can get it delivered by Fedex for $10. Pretty reasonable as I sent something by Fedex a month ago and paid $14!

I should state that Walmart has something that is similar sounding to Money Manager Card. I think it is the Money Card or something like that. That card is definitely not the same.

I did a quick Google search on Money Card when investigating the Starbucks offering and mistakenly clicked on a link to a Money Card “problem” page (something like this site) where people complained about it. Then, I realized that “Money Card” is not “Money Manager Card”.

Its Walmart's fault you can't keep track of your own damn card?

But before I rage on you too hard for being a [censored] I have to ask:

Do you mean a Walmart Paycard for employees, which is how they now get paychecks.
Its basically a debit card that Walmart directly deposits the money onto.

Or do you mean a Walmart prepaid visa debit card?
In which case calling Walmart would be a stupid thing to do.
Walmart issues those cards, but its Green Dot that takes care of it.

I hope you mean the former. Getting the run-around on your employee paycard would piss me off too.
But since you referred to yourself as a "loyal customer" I'm assuming that the latter is the case (not an employee), in which you are a [censored].
Again, Walmart doesn't take care of customer service for Green Dot cards.
Next time read the fine print on the cards packaging.

For the record, I work at the MoneyCenter at one of the Walmarts in my city.
Do you have any idea how many idiots come up wanting to buy one of those prepaid debit cards without so much as even glancing at the back?
They have fees. They have limits. They have their own customer service. They are a long term card, not just for a single online purchase.

Money paid, , were they not paid same scale as clean up staff, my my my The manager gets the most he should have got the mop and pail.. Yes a call to health department and washroom should have been closed to public till it was cleaned and WallyWorld should be written up in violation.

I forgot to mention one issue I had with what you posted..."for the money they make"...how much do you think Walmart employees are paid? Believe me, I worked there, it's not much.

That is a health and safety issue. Bodily fluids have to be cleaned up immediately. You should have called the health department, especially after he said, "is that still there"...that is completely unacceptable. It's bad enough when the bathrooms are just plain dirty...human blood or body fluids is a public health risk issue. I would have taken a picture and immediately called the health department.

in all walmarts in winnipeg . there are two washrooms for each sex. if one is dirty use the other one. its common sense.

OMG; the same thing similar happened to a friend of mine. She received a 50.00 card from a co-work for food b/c she was having hard times. When she went to the store to purchase the food using the card was blocked. She called the number they told her she had to wait a 24hr period before using the card. The cashier had to cancel the translation and she went home w/o. She tried to call the number on the back but the center's calls are handled out of India, so it was very difficult to understand the representatives. She came to me for help, I called the [protected] # and I couldn't understand a word she was saying, we were going in a circle for 1hr. At that time the Lord spoke to me and I gave her the 50.00 to buy food and didn't think of the tires I need for my car. That's why I don't deal with walmart b/c I could not believe it. Walmart rip her out of 50.00 b/c the money never came on the card.

And to think, all this could have been avoided had you just paid your old bank the money you owed them for your bounced checks/overdraft fees. Then you could have continued to use a real bank.

COuldn't have happened to a nicer person

I bought a chainsaw that did not work called store and was told to bring it back. Was told they could look it up on my credit card to get a refund. I only have 4 cards and they could not find it on their system. This was only a week after I made the purchase.

They said they could find no record but offered a gift card for the amount of chainsaw.

If they showed no record of purchase, then why did they give me a gift card?

Rip off to get more money.

For those needing a quality prepaid RELOADABLE VISA, I can recommend finding your local Check Into Cash and purchasing theirs. It is only $5.95 for the card and $1.00 to reload. You can use it anywhere Visa is accepted and by running it as a Visa, it is free. If you use it as a debit card, cost .50cents. They only charge a monthly maintenance fee of $2.00 per month. There is no hidden per use fee, or minimum balance, etc. The local Walmart customer service desk themselves told me, "Honey, you don't want one of these, there is a lot of hidden charges!" Then sent me to Check into Cash! Have had my Check into Cash Reloadable for 6 months and have had no problems! Can be loaded at any Check into Cash and you can even have two so that you can transfer funds between the cards FOR FREE via their website. Check it out! It's not often that someone can beat Walmart, but this card does.

I agree my limit to was only $300 and Iv'e paid it off twice and paid more then the monthly payment they ran my credit report then sent me a letter in the mail saying do to your credit report we are allowing you to spend only $100.00 I was pissed had the card for 1yr before they did that. It's just not right at all

I hear ya. I just became eligible for my employer offered (Walmart) health insurance. And I was looking at the coverages. I see the only copay is on preventive services, prescriptions and my vision plan. From what I am seeing I have to pay 100% till I meet the deductible ($2500) for all other services, once I meet the deductible then they will pay 75% till I meet the out of pocket maximum, when they will finally pay 100 percent.

I had Affordable Care Act insurance till this month, I am no longer eligible for the subsidies because Walmart offered me insurance. But the ACA insurance was a better deal with the subsidies than the Walmart insurance without. I had copays for all my medical visits, PCP, Specialist, etc. But under Walmart's insurance only the PCP has a copay and again for only preventive services.

I can't afford to pay a $2500 deductible, especially when I am due to see a specialist in a week. A specialist is not preventive services so I will have to pay out of pocket for the visit, a service I really can't afford without a copay.

Walmart will be sorry when Obama Care takes over... they are horrible to work for, my mom worked there for 16 years and they took her position away.. they expect someone who wont even make 1000.00 a month pay for that ### insurance? I am sorry.. you deserve better!

In my opinion, the Cullman Wal-Marts biggest issue is stock. I understand that in this area, Wal-Mart is the main shopping source but I think management should exercise a little better planning to accomadate the increased consumer need. I have been to this store many times and can't find my size jeans, video games for ps3 & wii (months after Christmas), shoes in mine & my daughters size etc. This is very frustrating when the next closest store is 45+ minutes away. I wish they would improve their planning. It's very frustrating to go there repeatedly and not find what I'm looking for. I keep going back, however, because I have to maintain my budget and I'd rather go there in hope of finding $20 jeans in my size than go to Belk and find them easily but pay $40.

We have a walmart store in our town of Henryetta Okla and asuperstore in Okmulgee Okla but can never seem to find alot of things they used stock that we use everyday and prices seems to get more rediculous everyday on all the things we use most often and are made cheaper to boot for instance i bought a can opener and my wife bought one too a total of twenty-five dollars plus tax just thrown away as if we had it to throw away to begin with. we don't have to have walmart especially if we can't get the things we need at a reasonable price with availability. It.s pretty bad when homeland can beat walmart prices on the average groceries.We need the quality and prices that Sam Walton biuldt this company on the end;

LET'S BOYCOT ALL WALMARTS!

I haven't shopped at a WalMart in years. Never really understood the appeal and that was back in the days where it was semi-decent. I stopped going when I started to hear more Spanish spoken in the stores than English.

Phone 1-800-WALMART. They will investigate your complaint. Something does not sound right about the situation, especially the $16 due to somekind of reversal. Not allowing you to pick up rx's seems because you owe(may owe) some money is not proper Wal-Mart procedure. Again, phone 1-800- WALMART. This sounds like a problem with the pharmacy manager. Your complaint will be investigated and the district manager will get to the bottom of it. He will get the mess straight and someone will call you back. It is not a matter of Wal-Mart being a fraudulent company. It is a matter of someone not operating the pharmacy properly. Wal-Mart has policies and procedures for most everything. And, I can assure you, they have no policy to prevent you from picking up meds because of a supposedly owing some money.

I get my hair done at SmartStyle and I've always been treated well, and never one complaint about the job that's done. I go when I know a certain stylist is working 'cause she's friendly and doesn't rush through doing my hair. She actually worked from 9a.m.-12p.m. doing a double color, shampoo, cut and style for me.

YOU got your hair cut and washed for $14.95 and are complaining? Are you insane or really that cheap?

big deal you got your HAIR WASHED and cut for 14.95. You can't buy or get anything for 14.95. You must be the CHEAPEST person in AMERICA!

I agreed with with the comment posted by someone from Texas. I was charged $15.50 without getting a shampoo. I like my haircut but I felt like they are not honest to their customers. That makes me upset a little bit. I will give them another chance.

I REALLY like the Smart Cuts salon because it really truly has some good stylists for a cheaper budget. It you go to a high end salon as stylist said then it would cost about $20 dollars, for a adult, and sometimes kid. At least in MY area that is..

The thing about these chains they cant keep good stylisted working in them because as soon as salon gets busy they over hire and an experinced staylist wont take getting paid min wage... So your left with stylist just out of school and trying there darnest to earn comission by getting you out of that chair asd fast as they can... how would you like to go to school for almost 2 years and get paid almost nothing a little over min... i know because i have worked for them in the past they make it impossible for us to make any money ... they dont want to pay more than min... sorry but stop paying 14.95 for a haircut and you might get pampered if you go to a high end salon... It is a branch off the big tree

Oh Billy, don't be a wuss, say his name it's Voldemort.

Hee hee. Well, I got a giggle. Thanks.

It does not matter you won't have a school anyway, I heard you know who is back and he is going to attack the school.

"I am the headmaster of a school which I shall not name for security reasons."

You just named the school later in your letter.

"Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts."

Read his other posts Michael. :D he has a total of four troll letters.

Sorry, Dude, but that whole "Harry Potter" thing is for losers and tweens. Maybe you should use your obvious creative talents for something worthwhile, like a juggling act, or maybe mime.
