Default Gorcery Delivery from Walmart Didn't Suck

I wanted a fried bologna sandwich, so I ordered $50 worth of
mundane shit to get free delivery - mostly stuff that was on the
shopping list. Then I added a pizza, and decided maybe I wanted a
reuben instead - so that helped fill out the $50.

I ordered two kinds of beef bologna, and one was left out of the
order (the sliced to order stuff from the deli). After the order was
delivered and I unpacked the *18* bags containing 20 items, I was
sure the one bologna was missing (not in freezer, not in pantry, not
still on porch). I went online 2 days later and there was checklist
to specify what was missing and it immediately credited me for the
"Wunderbar" bologna - no human intervention required.

The only other hiccup was that I ordered wheat bread instead of
white - my fault. Oh, and the cucumber was the size of a large
cornichon.

The prices were slightly higher on some items than HEB, but HEB
tacks on an extra 3% for curbside and delivery. After I placed the
order at 8:58AM it sent me a notice saying I have until 9:00AM to
add or make changes to the order (2 minutes?). So it was too late
to add the ice cream.

I ordered at 9:AM on a Sunday and it was delivered at 2:30PM.
Delivery was free with the promo code. It would have been $7.95, but
for some reason if I chose delivery after 2:PM, it was $9.95 - $2
more? After I placed the order I did 3 hot, sweaty hours trimming
and clearing brush from the property to put out for bulk brush
pickup.

I ordered online using the computer and gave them my cell phone for
text message updates, but typed the number wrong. So I didn't get
instant updates but it wasn't required. So no smart phone required,
and no substitutions were made.

I wouldn't order a bunch of meat and produce using the service (and
not from Walmart), but for pre-packaged staples it was convenient.
It sure beats taking an Uber there and back for $18.
