So You Wanna Grab Your Stuff From Walmart After Dinner? The Crucial Guide to Curbside Pickup Times (Because Nobody Wants Cold Pizza)
Let's face it, who hasn't fallen into the online shopping vortex at 9 pm, desperately needing that unicorn pool float for your kid's birthday bash tomorrow, or that extra bottle of wine because, well, Netflix and self-care beckon? But then the panic sets in: will Walmart still be doing curbside pickup at this ungodly hour?
Fear not, fellow procrastinators and last-minute Lisas (we see you!), because this guide will be your beacon in the night (or should we say, the glow of your phone screen).
The Good News: Walmart Gets You (and Your Late-Night Shopping)
In most cases, you're in luck! Buckle up, because here's the golden rule:
- Walmart's glorious curbside pickup operates from a glorious 7 am to a wallet-friendly 10 pm, seven days a week.
That's right, folks. They're basically night owls, just like you and your online shopping sprees. So, breathe a sigh of relief, because that essential bag of gummy worms (hey, no judgement) will be waiting for you curbside.
But wait! There's a twist...
Hold Your Horses (or Should We Say, Shopping Carts) There Might Be a Catch (But Probably Not)
While the 10 pm magic number applies to most stores, it's always a good idea to double-check with your local Walmart. There might be slight variations depending on location (think rural areas with earlier closings).
Here's the super easy way to be a curbside pickup pro:
- Head to the Walmart website or app.
- Type in your zip code. Bam! Local store info appears, including those ever-so-important curbside pickup hours.
See? Easy peasy. Now you can return to your online shopping with newfound confidence (and maybe a hint of smugness).
Curbside Pickup After 10 pm? Don't Fret, There Are Options (But Maybe Not from Walmart)
Okay, so let's say you're in that elite 11 pm online shopping club. Walmart might not be your knight in shining armor this time, but there are still options:
- Delivery services: Depending on the item and the service, you might be able to snag a late-night delivery. Just be prepared for potential fees and a slightly longer wait.
- Friends with cars (and a sense of humor): This tactic is a bit risky, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures (and good friends).
Just remember, late-night shopping favors come with their price (emotional blackmail and the promise of future favors).
The Final Takeaway: Curbside Pickup is Your Late-Night Shopping BFF (as Long as You Plan a Little)
So there you have it! With a little planning (or the knowledge that Walmart is usually open late), you can conquer those late-night shopping urges and still score that must-have item. Now go forth and shop, because nobody should have to miss out on a pool float birthday party (or that extra bottle of wine).
