How long does Walmart hold pickup orders? It’s no secret that Walmart is the largest retailer in the world. With over 11,000 stores in 28 countries, It is a powerhouse that can’t be ignored.
What you may not know, however, is that Walmart is starting to get serious about e-commerce. The company has made it a top priority to improve its online presence to better compete with Amazon. And believe it or not, Walmart is doing quite well in this area. The company’s online sales growth rate was 31% last year, compared to Amazon’s 20 percent.
That being said, Walmart is still a long way from catching up to Amazon. To compete, the company needs to make sure that its online orders are picked up quickly and efficiently. And this is where you come in.
What Will Happen If You Don't Pick Up Walmart Orders?
So, what happens if you don’t pick up your Walmart order within three days? Walmart will begin charging customers a $2 fee for every order that isn’t picked up within three days of delivery.
This new policy is an attempt by Walmart to reduce the number of missed pickups and improve customer service. Well, you’ll be charged a $2 fee, and your order will be canceled. Additionally, your account may be blocked from placing future orders with Walmart.
The best way to avoid this is to make sure that you pick up your Walmart order as soon as possible. But if for some reason you can’t pick it up within three days, be sure to contact Walmart customer service. They may be able to help you arrange for a pickup or delivery.
At the end of the day, it’s important to remember that Walmart is a business, and it needs to make money to survive. If you can’t pick up your order within the three-day window, be prepared to pay the $2 fee. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than having your order canceled altogether.
How does Walmart grocery pickup work?
Walmart Grocery Pickup allows customers to order their groceries online and have them picked up at their local Walmart store. Customers can save time by skipping the checkout line, and they can save money by taking advantage of Walmart's low prices.

Once they have completed their order, they need to choose a pickup time and location. Then, on the day of their pickup, they just need to drive up to the store and park in the designated Grocery Pickup area.
What if I don't collect my Walmart groceries on time?
Walmart will usually hold the order for a day or two. After that, the groceries will be donated to a local food bank.
Walmart offers same-day grocery pickup for orders placed before 10 am. If you don't pick up your order by 10 pm on the day it's scheduled, Walmart will donate your groceries to a local food bank. Orders placed after 10 am can be picked up the next day.
Is It Possible to Cancel My Walmart Pickup Order?

Once they have chosen their store, they will be able to select a pickup time that is convenient for them. Same-day pickups are available for most items.
Will I be refunded if I don't collect my Walmart order?
Walmart will refund your purchase if you do not pick it up.
When you order something from Walmart.com and choose to have it delivered to a store for pickup, there is a window of time during which you can pick it up. If you don’t pick it up within that window, Walmart will refund your purchase.
The amount of the refund will depend on how long the item has been in the store after the delivery window closes. For example, if an item is delivered to the store and remains there for 7 days after the delivery window closes, Walmart will refund 50% of the purchase price.
What types of items are available for Walmart curbside pickup?
Groceries, video games, art supplies, home goods, kitchenware, and apparel. Curbside pickup is available to all shoppers online. The Walmart curbside pickup minimum order size is $35.
What if you miss your Walmart curbside pickup time?
If you miss your curbside pickup time (or contactless curbside pickup time), Walmart will hold your order for you for up to seven days. Alternatively, customers have the option to go into the store for store pickup. Perishable items in Walmart grocery orders may get handled separately if the customer isn't available to pick up their purchase.
Bottom Line: How Long Will It Be Held?
Walmart will generally hold a customer's online order for pickup for no more than four days. If the order is not picked up within that time frame, it will be canceled and the customer may lose their place in line. Items that are purchased in-store can be held for up to seven days.
Walmart does not offer a grace period for customers who do not pick up their orders, so it is important to plan and make sure to pick up orders when they are scheduled. Orders that are placed on the same day can be picked up together, but customers should expect a wait time as all orders are not necessarily ready at the same time.
