Calling Off the Claws: A Guide to Canceling Your Walmart Pickup
Fear not, for cancellation is an option! Here's how to ditch the lobster (or whatever questionable purchase you made) without having to explain yourself to a confused Walmart employee:

The Elusive "Request Cancellation" Button: With any luck, nestled amongst order details will be a beautiful button - "Request Cancellation." Click it with the fervor of a knight vanquishing a dragon (or at least the enthusiasm of someone who doesn't want a giant inflatable crustacean on their doorstep).
Important Note: This magic button only appears if your order hasn't been lovingly prepped for pickup by overzealous Walmart elves. If it's missing, fear not! We'll tackle that situation in a later quest (see next section).

Embrace the Power of the Phone: Dial up Walmart's customer service line (you can find the number on their website). Prepare to explain your situation with the grace of a seasoned negotiator (or at least someone who sounds mildly apologetic).
-

With a little effort (and possibly a charming phone call), your rogue Walmart purchase will be a distant memory. Now you can get back to browsing the online aisles, safe in the knowledge that you can always call off the shopping spree before it gets too... crustacean-y.
