Walmart was founded by Sam Walton in 1962. The company established its first store in Rogers, Arkansas, and the goal was to provide goods with lowest possible prices to customers. Over the next five years, Walmart enjoyed unprecedented growth and by 1967 the company already had 24 stores under its belt, thereby accumulating more than $12 million in sales. Finally, in 1969, the company was officially incorporated as Walmart Stores Inc.
As of today, Walmart has been crowned as the largest private employer on the planet, with more than 2.2 million employees. One of the primary reasons why the company has thrived over the past 60 years is its constant drive for earning efficiency and innovation. Walmart championed the concept of ‘everyday low prices’, a concept that is still relevant to date, not only in the retail but also e-commerce industry. It was also the first company that allowed customers to browse through a wide selection of products, without having to visit multiple stores.
The current major product categories that you can browse on Walmart.com include clothing, shoes and accessories, books, music, video games, arts and crafts supplies, patio and garden supplies, automobile and industrial equipment, toys, pets, electronics, grocery, household essentials, sports and outdoors, office supplies and stationery, personal care, pharmacy, home appliances and furniture. The supported payment methods on Walmart.com include EBT (Electronics Benefits Transfer), PayPal, Affirm, all major debit and credit cards (Visa, Discover, MasterCard and American Express), and Walmart Gift Cards.
What is the Order Cancellation Policy
Walmart.com allows customers to cancel their orders if they are listed in their accounts’ ‘Purchases History’. However, if any order cannot be cancelled, then customers can start a return process once they receive their item(s). Not to mention all refunds will be credited to the original method of payment, which was used for making the purchase. Expect a delay of 10 business days for the refunded amount to be reflected in your account.
