So the other night I’m ordering blue jeans and a hat from Walmart.com because Amazon was insisting I take Prime. As hell hasn’t frozen over yet that wasn’t going to happen. So I went to Walmart.com. The two items total $34.97 ($18.98 + $15.99). .03 cents shy of free shipping (how the hell do they do that?). You wanna play that game? They have these little flashlights for a dollar that are real handy to have everywhere around the house, in the garage, in the car, they’re just a handy little light. So I order one of those to make up the .03 cents to get the free shipping.

They deliver the blue jeans at 10 am using FedEx. They deliver the flashlight at noon using an Uber driver. Two separate deliveries. For a $1 dollar flashlight. How they are going to compete with Amazon doing stuff like that I don’t know. On an order from them a couple of weeks ago I ordered some masking tape along with some other stuff because cause you cannot find masking tape in a store in Ames right now. So I ordered 5 rolls at $2.97 a roll. They didn’t deliver it with the rest of the stuff, they used a separate driver again! Sure I was glad to get it the next day, but you’re going to compete with the King of Logistics doing that stuff? Be curious to see where they are at in 10 years.
