Returning Your Misguided Walmart Haul: A Curbside Odyssey (Without Getting Kicked Out)
Let's face it, we've all been there. You get on a late-night online shopping spree, fueled by questionable life choices and a questionable amount of caffeine. The next day, a box arrives overflowing with...well, stuff. Maybe it's that neon green juicer you thought would jumpstart your health kick (spoiler alert: it didn't). Maybe it's a pair of roller skates that whispered sweet nothings of becoming the next Tony Hawk (turns out, concrete and grace don't mix). Whatever it is, you need to return it, and Walmart's holy grail of convenience - curbside pickup - is here to save the day (and your dignity from wrestling a giant box into the store).
| How To Return Walmart Curbside Pickup |
Step 1: Initiating the Great Return (From the Comfort of Your Couch)
First things first, grab your phone and the Walmart app (because ain't nobody got time for physical interaction). Navigate to your purchase history and find the item you're returning. Be warned, some items might not be eligible for curbside return, so check the fine print before you get your hopes up. If it is eligible, select "curbside return" as your return method and choose the store you want to return it to.

Pro tip: If you can't find the item in your purchase history, don't panic. You can also start a return by scanning the item's barcode or entering the order number. Technology, huh? Amazing.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.![]()
Step 2: Gearing Up for the Return Adventure (Because Every Return is an Adventure...Right?)
Now, gather your unwanted item (and all the original packaging and accessories, please! Don't be that guy who makes the poor associate play detective with missing parts). Optional, but highly recommended: Pack some snacks for the journey. Returning things can be emotionally draining, you deserve a treat.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.![]()
Side note: While you're gathering your things, it wouldn't hurt to check the return policy. You know, just in case that neon green juicer is gathering dust for a reason you conveniently forgot about (like the fact that it requires actual cleaning).
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.![]()
Step 3: The Grand Arrival (Cue Dramatic Music)
Pull up to the designated curbside pickup spots (they're usually clearly marked, but hey, there's always that one guy). Open the Walmart app and let them know you've arrived. An associate will be with you shortly, bearing the power to grant you sweet, sweet retail redemption.
Remember: patience is a virtue. Especially on weekends when things can get a little hectic. But hey, at least you're not wrestling a giant box through the store, right?
Step 4: The Handoff (Dun, Dun, Dun)
When the associate arrives, pop your trunk or open your door (whichever is more convenient for your majesty). Show them the return barcode on your phone screen, and they'll handle the rest. They'll scan the item, process your return, and voila! You're free to go (and maybe hit up the bakery for a celebratory donut).
Congratulations! You've successfully returned your unwanted item through curbside pickup. Now go forth and shop responsibly (or not, we won't judge).
