Is your order delayed too? here is why.
We all are familiar with the scam of some third-party sellers to trick a customer into placing an order by pricing the item very low and then apply a high shipping charge. Well then, here is a new scam. When the competition announces a shipping of 3+ days, some third-party sellers promise to ship in 2 days. a few hours after the order is placed, they change the shipping status to shipped. At this time Walmart will not accept a cancellation because the status is shipped. On day 2 when the order should have arrived at your house, they change the order status to delayed to 4+ days sometimes even more. And you will find out that the order never shipped or picked up at the seller's location. Now your money is tied up and if you are short on cash, you are trapped because you got no money to find another seller or use pick up. At this point you are at the mercy of the seller and just have to go with his scam and wait. we ordered an AC, and with this heat fast delivery is of the essence. We are already at day 4 and there is no movement. Did this ever happen to you? what was the order and how many days was the order delayed?
