Could not find what I was looking for, on line, for three weeks. On the 15th , I must have searched perfectly , I found the item , at , of all places Wal Mart , Online. ( not available for store (pickup) I goes ahead and orders one, online. Keep in mind that I order stuff on line about three times per year.  My first time ordering from Wal Mart , on line. the next day ( the 16th) I get an E-mail confirmation notice. ordered: 15th will ship: 22nd arrives: 28th !  Could there be a Wal Mart on the moon ? that this is coming from ? I am in no hurry , makes no difference , but the neighbor gets stuff in a day or three all week long . seems odd. https://www.walmart.com/ip/TSV...ubmersible/820351744 Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

It's because it is actually shipped from a different retailer "Wowparts". I've actually found a few hard to find parts (cabinet hinges etc.) on Walmart, but all Walmart does is list them for sale and does this with a lot of items, but they are shipped directly from a 3rd party vendor. | |||

This is Walmarts attempt to challenge Amazon - Walmart as the middleman for other sellers. | |||

Ya I ordered something a few days ago and it was being sent from some other place. 2 or 3 days later I got a got a call from Texas that they didn't have anymore and it would be a couple days for them to get it and send it. I cancelled it and bought elsewhere. It seems very much like they are doing what Amazon is doing, playing middleman. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

Amazon uses 3rd party sellers also. I have an order for shave soap that won't be here until mid Sept. | |||

Well, that's a bit odd, since the humerus bone is located in the upper arm. Hence, the name "funny bone". I guess I paid attention in 7th grade.  Insert your favorite gun-related witticism here! | |||

Yes, Walmart doesn't cover you when third-party vendors screw up or sell you a counterfeit item. You have to deal with the vendor on your own. Stick with Amazon from now on. | |||

I searched “solar powered fountain pump” and amazon offers several models.  | |||

Sounds like the OP has a bone to pick with Walmart. | |||

 "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
