You Picked Up the Wrong Option? Don't Worry, We've All Been There: A Guide to Changing Your Walmart Pickup to Shipping (Because Adulting is Hard)
Let's face it, folks. We've all been there. You're cruising the aisles of virtual Walmart, filling your digital cart with enough supplies to last a zombie apocalypse (or, you know, just a regular week). You hit checkout, ready to conquer the world... then BAM! You realize you accidentally selected "pickup" instead of "shipping." Don't panic! This isn't a sign you're losing your mind (although that giant bag of gummy bears might suggest otherwise). Here's how to fix your Walmart order snafu with minimal tears and existential dread.
Step 1: Accept Your Fate (Just Kidding, Mostly)
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.![]()
Take a deep breath, channel your inner zen master, and resist the urge to hurl your phone across the room. Mistakes happen, even to the best of us (especially after the aforementioned gummy bear incident). The good news is, changing your pickup to shipping is actually pretty easy.

Step 2: Embrace the Power of Technology (or Your Phone, at Least)
Tip: Break it down — section by section.![]()
There are two main battlefields in this war against the wrong delivery method: the Walmart website and the Walmart app. Choose your weapon wisely, young grasshopper.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.![]()
- Website Warriors: Head to your account on Walmart.com and navigate to your order history. Find the order you want to change and look for a magical button (or link, depending on your internet overlord) that says something along the lines of "edit" or "modify order." If the stars have aligned and the Walmart gods are smiling upon you, you'll see an option to change your delivery method to shipping. Click with glee and proceed to checkout like a triumphant hero.
- App Assassins: Fear not, mobile warriors! The Walmart app can also be your savior. Open the app, log in (because who remembers passwords these days?), and find your order nestled amongst the digital receipts. Look for an "edit order" function and, once again, pray to the Walmart gods for the glorious option to switch to shipping. If it appears, high five your phone and thank the app development team for their foresight.
Step 3: The Dreaded "Not Available" Scenario (and What to Do About It)
Let's face it, sometimes technology throws us curveballs. You may click that beautiful "edit order" button only to be met with the dreaded message: "Changing delivery method not available." Don't despair! Here are a few alternative strategies:
- Channel Your Inner Usain Bolt: If your pickup window isn't for a while, you might be able to cancel the order altogether and then place a new one with shipping selected. This option requires lightning-fast reflexes and the unwavering belief that the item you desire won't disappear into the abyss of the internet in the meantime. Proceed with caution!
- Embrace the Pickup, Then Embrace the Mailbox: Look, if canceling and reordering isn't your jam, you can always stick with the pickup option. Grab your finest athleisure wear, channel your inner Olympian, and make a speedy pickup adventure out of it. Just remember to check your mailbox faithfully for any shipping updates – sometimes, Walmart throws in a surprise delivery option at the last minute (because apparently, they like to keep us on our toes).
Congratulations! You've Conquered the Delivery Dilemma
There you have it! With a little know-how and a dash of humor, you've successfully navigated the treacherous waters of changing your Walmart order from pickup to shipping. Now, go forth and conquer your day (or at least conquer that mountain of gummy bears). Remember, even the most seasoned online shoppers make mistakes. Just don't forget to double-check your delivery method next time – unless, of course, you're feeling particularly adventurous.
