Screw Walmart!

I managed to put in two orders via their website today, one for a PS5 and one for an Xbox Series X. Both went through and I received confirmation emails for each order.

Moments later I got a cancellation email for the Xbox order:

Our credit and fraud avoidance team flagged this order as unusual, so we had to cancel. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Don't worry - you weren't charged for the order. Any temporary holds will be removed within 10 business days, in accordance with your bank's policy.

What's next? We recommend you double-check your payment information and then try placing a new order.


So I went ahead and managed to actually get another one added to my cart and submitted a new order. Once again it was canceled moments later.

My PS5 order is still valid/in process.

I haven't had too many issues with orders from Walmart but their website is absolute garbage...then add in the fact that, like Amazon, their website is infested with tons of crappy 3rd party sellers.
 
Yeah, I was trying to get them today and the second I refreshed to page when they were supposed to be in stock, it said out of stock. Luckily I got in line for the PS Direct and within minutes I was 2 minutes away, then got sent to the store. Felt kind of bad because my buddy has been trying to hard to get one, and I've just been kind of going in spurts, and we were sitting across from each other and he got in line first but never made it beyond an hour remaining.

Walmart has restocked the PS5 twice this week, giving PlayStation gamers two separate opportunities to secure the next-gen PlayStation console. That said, even if you managed to beat other big PlayStation fans, bots, and scalpers, and secured an order, you may still not get a console. Over on Twitter, reports are flooding in from PlayStation players revealing that their orders from this week are being canceled by the retailer.

At the moment of publishing, there appear to be a few things leading to cancellations, the first being a flaw in Walmart's system that is wrongly identifying and flagging orders. More specifically, customers have relayed word that the retailer canceled their order because it flagged the order as exceeding purchase limits even if it isn't. Meanwhile, it also looks like the retailer is canceling orders due to supply issues. In other words, it appears it took more orders than its supply can fulfill.

So I was pretty pissy at Walmart and canceled my PS5 order from them the other day as well.

But I scored both a Series X and PS5 from Target this morning. Both for pickup.
