First order cancellation email came tonight. It was an order for 4 total sets - 2 of one and 2 of another. This is ridiculous.

Wheeeee! Charmin grit 150 double-roll cancellation.

I had placed an order for 10 Christmas train ride sets this morning at Wal-Mart. Sat in processing all day, but now shows shipped. We'll see if these latest deals also go through. 

I'm small time. 

10704, the real reason everyone is banned

It is 20$ right now on WM. And you CAN order 10.

Can , Ban,  whats the difference ?

One starts with C, the other starts with B.

I’m guessing the story had an effect.

My two small orders from Monday were cancelled today, same CC verification excuse they are giving others. 

As a brick and mortar (not LEGO) store owner I can’t even fathom turning away a sale in this era of retail apocalypse.  Hell, we will gladly gift wrap and carry it to your car!

The thing that cracks me up is Walmart and Target want to replace TRU this year and in the end, I’m just buying from AMZ as they price match WM.

I did buy a fair amount at Target this week however with the $10 Gift card promo. 

I wonder if they are going to ban little Timmies mom for buying some extra brick boxes to flip on eBay?

Any emails on an official ban coming forth from Walmart? Maybe this will all be lifted after the sales this Friday and Monday?

I’m guessing the story had an effect.

This seems like an exaggeration. With three people managing two carts each, you could wipe out most of a pallet, but the boxes last year weren't big enough to fill an entire uhaul.

Has anyone heard of any civilians (i.e., non-resellers) getting banned by WM?

I got banned from one of my local Asda (UK Walmart) branches when one of their careless trolley handlers scratched my car last year. He told me to F... O... (it was his last day apparently) so I turned round and decked him. It was witnessed by the store manager who also swore at me and told me to not shop there again unless I wanted to face an assault charge. I wish I'd decked him too, but I didn't ?

In Australia , children are the trolley (cart) handlers.

I mean the guys that put the trolleys back at he end of the stack because British shoppers are simply too lazy. In the UK, children sit in trolleys while the obese single mum showing of her wobbly arse in jogging bottoms pushes it. That's typical Asda and UKers know what I mean ?

You know, this story does not surprise me at all.

Funny thing is, even before seeing your response, that's exactly what I thought when I read it too...

When did you place them? Orders I placed yesterday were all cancelled, but orders from previous days went through

Sphero droids on door busters and some baby stuff to flip. Eiffel towers.

 

I talked to chat and apparently I have to call and talk to a specialist. Something isn't right ?

Yes I agree it is an exaggeration. IIRC there were a number of negative toy reseller narratives reported widely in the news this time last year, like WoN being the “hottest Xmas toy” for about a minute and how prices hit $100 briefly at Amazon and reseller scum is to blame, etc. I know WM just revamped its limits on gift cards to avoid fraud, but all of these changes appear to fit into their stated ethos of only selling to individual consumers.

What quantities were you ordering in today? Ballpark figure as we run the gauntlet.
