Buyer's Remorse Got You Down? The Hilarious Guide to Returning Stuff with the Walmart App
Let's face it, folks. We've all been there. You get carried away browsing the aisles (or, more likely, the endless scroll of the Walmart app) at 2 am, convinced you absolutely NEED that neon pink pool float shaped like a flamingo. Then, reality sets in. Your balcony just isn't big enough for a majestic flamingo entrance, and your pool situation is more "kiddie pool" than "tropical oasis." No worries, friend! We've all returned things, and thankfully, the Walmart app makes it about as painless as watching cat videos.
Initiating the Great Return: A Quest (Mostly Performed in Your PJs)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app. Download it if you haven't already. Trust us, it's like having a magic portal to deals and, more importantly for our current situation, a return beacon. Once you're in, navigate to your account (unless you're returning something for your prankster grandma, in which case, good luck!) Then, delve into your purchase history. It's kind of like online retail therapy, but backwards!
Pro Tip: If you can't remember what day you bought that questionable sequined jumpsuit (hey, no judgement!), you can filter your purchase history by date. This is especially helpful if you're a chronic online shopper whose bank account is starting to weep.
Deciding Your Return Fate: Store or Space Age Travel?
Now you've found your item. Prepare to answer the age-old question: Return to Store or Mail it Back? The app will tell you which option is available for your flamingo float (or sequined jumpsuit).
Choosing In-Store: If you pick the in-store route, the app will generate a magical return barcode. Show this barcode to the friendly customer service folks at Walmart, and they'll handle the rest. Just be sure to bring the actual item you're returning too (shocking, we know).
Going the Mail Order Ninja Route: For some items, you can select mail return. The app will provide a prepaid shipping label. Stick it on your package, waltz it to the nearest drop-off point (because who actually enjoys waiting in line at the post office?), and voila! The return process is set in motion.
The Return Recap: Did You Survive?
Once you've submitted your return, the app will keep you updated on its status. You'll be a return pro in no time! Just remember, for future purchases, maybe skip the 2 am online shopping sprees. Unless, of course, you find a deal on a fire-breathing unicorn pool float. In that case, buy two (because sharing is caring).
