I recently ordered something from Walmart, and they will still sell stuff that isn't stocked and then you have no idea when it will actually ship when it appears to already be in stock. I hope that eventually they can at least provide accurate shipping dates.

Is this fist party or 3rd party? They are two very different processes.

Much of walmart.com is now filled via 3rd party - same as Amazon (except perhaps more likely to seller ship vs be marketplace fulfilled).

I am still trying to get my 12.99 product that was shipped a month ago but never moved. Trying to get anything resolved is impossible. I regret not using amazon.

Was it first party or third party?

Third party. Any tips for successfully resolving this?

This was sold and shipped by Walmart.com

Amazon just did this to me. I ordered books 3 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped.

It is past their order confimation "Arriving" date? If so, just contact CS, they'll usually give you money back in the form of credit. I've had a few issues with long ship dates because of COVID, but in general Amazon has been flawless.

the arriving date is for the end of september. which is why I'm assuming one of the books wasn't in stock but they sold it anyway.
