I agree 100%. However, a lot of my woes with Amazon are due to inventory commingling- because I make sure to only buy Ships & Sold by Amazon items.

With that said, Walmart is beginning to push 3rd party sellers a lot online too, and filtering for items sold by Walmart can be difficult. A lot of times items show up as in stock in search results only to actually not be in stock when I finally load the product or cart pages, and Walmart will often switch these to in-store pick up automatically which is frustrating as the nearest store to me is quite far. I’ve had good luck shopping at Target but their prices are almost never as competitive.

That sounds like a frustrating experience. I don't shop at Walmart because Seattle is kind of a Walmart desert (whereas Amazon return drops are everywhere), but it always seems like there are comments promoting it in those threads.
