Walmart offering grocery pickup service at Palmdale stores

by •

PALMDALE – Walmart has launched its online grocery pickup service at two of its Palmdale stores, the company announced this week.

The free service enables customers to order groceries online and pick them up at Walmart Supercenter stores without ever leaving their cars.

Walmart’s Online Grocery service is available at the following stores:

  • Palmdale – 40130 10th Street West
  • Palmdale – 37140 47th Street East

“Our customers have told us that grocery pickup is a game changer. They are now able to complete their grocery shopping in a matter of minutes – between errands or on their way home – without ever getting out of the car,” stated Susan Vanderlip, Walmart’s eCommerce market coach.

How it Works

  1. Customers visit walmart.com/grocery online or through the Walmart Grocery mobile app, enter their zip codes to select a local store and begin creating their shopping lists.  During checkout, they select a time to pick up their orders.
  2. Personal shoppers select the items each customer requested.
  3. Once a customer arrives at the pickup location, there will be reserved parking spaces marked in orange, and a designated number to call to alert an associate. An associate will retrieve the prepared order and load it into the customer’s car.  

Another tool is the Walmart mobile app with features including refilling pharmacy prescriptions, finding an item’s store location and Walmart Pay, a way for customers to pay with their smartphones in Walmart stores (available nationwide this summer).

  1. This is comical lol each day I wakup eagerly awaiting the debate and wut new players will join in on the comedies of the av, luv it guys

  2. I tried for two days in a row to get an appointment without success. Just gave up and came in. Must be very popular.

  3. I am an able bodied person that works a full time job and appreciates saving time to run other errands. I tried this service, ordered all my groceries from my phone up and picked-up my items on Sunday morning. You can add or delete items to your order within their allowed time-frame. The process is flawless, the items were accurate, the list was complete and the produce was picked with care. The associates helped me look through the grocery bags and pointed-out substitute items, both were very polite and willing to go the extra mile. You must try it before you criticize the process, I will finally have left-over time for other things.

  4. Is this for people who don’t want to be run over by the able bodied people who insist on using those motorized carts? It’s a great idea for those who don’t want to be stuck behind the EBT users and the daywalkers who roam the Walmart.

    • Is there some reason that you want to repeat these fables you’ve heard about WalMart? Surely with that silver spoon up your tail you’ve never actually stooped so low as to see such things for yourself?

    • The Daywalkers are easy to avoid.

      The EBT users can be avoided for the most part by avoiding the first 10 days of the month (as an aside, many of those people at the beginning of the month are retirees with pensions paid at the beginning of the month, etc.)

      Is it just me or does the AV have an abnormally high rate of blue placards?

      • I have to laugh too. I park in the outskirts of most every lot to avoid dings, even on my old car. But I’m amused at seeing Corvettes and big SUVs in the blue placard slots.

        How do they get in and out of those vehicles so well and yet have trouble walking to the store?

        Oh, well. I need the exercise.

        • A lot of them are caregivers ,,,taking the ones they care for shopping …and yes there are a lot of elderly people in palmdale that need the carts to shop…I hope you can understand this..some day it might be you needing a caregiver to care for you and you may need a cart in walmart to shop. God Bless You.

      • Other than for work purposes, I won’t go into Walmart. We shop Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

        Before that we would shop at Vons or Ralph’s (who used to double coupons) and never felt the need to shop at Walmart.

        • Wow! We’re impressed.

          What on earth are you compensating for?

          You must know by now that you come off that way.

        • Foolco, your hero Rex has more Walmarts per capita than any other city in the universe, with more on the way. I bet you shop there with your FD hat, ripped shorts, tank top T-shirt with a Corona logo on it, and worn out sandals.

        • I don’t go to WalMart either…because I disapprove of their business practices. Just like I would never take a bid for a construction project from someone who calls people cockroaches.

          • Exactly. Why would a construction contractor who does work in pacific palisades, Palos Verdes, Beverly Hills and Hancock Park build a spec townhome in east palmdale? There’s already plenty of people doing low bid work in low income housing for low income people.
            That high end contractor will build for those who can afford it and who also appreciate the work. It’s not like it’s going to be tagged with graffiti or have crime scene tape around it or turn into a roach motel.

          • So do you go out and make those bids and share idle chit chat about how all the “lesser people” are really cockroaches? I’m thinking even among your priggish clientele such open snobbery would be bad for business. How about your employees? Wanna have a meeting with them and explain your views on social status?

            Or is this why you post as “Shane Falco” and keep the name of your business separated from your on line trollery?

          • No Tim, you don’t go to walmart because you can’t get out of psych ward )
            And that’s a good thing.

          • The guy is obviously deeply scarred to be so buried in “the money makes the man.” No way to tell how it happened. Maybe his first love was a rich father’s daddy’s girl and he got kicked to the curb. Or maybe his dad brought it home, since back when Shane was a kid the local movers and shakers were pretty much all into coke, and no doubt deputy dad was embittered about their money making them untouchable while the LASD cleaned up their messes. Or maybe it’s just because he’s short.

            In any event, being a money makes the man guy and having to go to all those wealthy clients and be treated like hired help must burn pretty bad. And there’s no way that deputy dad treats him like a man when his wife makes more than he does. It’s got to be tough being Shane, so ease off.

          • I guess I should feel sorry for Foolco, but when you drink the Rexaid, you get what you deserve. Ridicule is just one of the side effects of following Master Rex.

          • Tim,if you are going to use my name,at least try to make it more realistic.

            Keep trying.Your fan club is counting on you.

          • No problem “Shane.” I don’t need to use “your” name, since I have my own.

            I think it is hilarious that our local non-entity that usually pretends to be me is suddenly pretending to be Foolco. One thing Foolco has never appeared to be is poorly educated, and everyone no doubt recognizes the poor use of English here.

            Develop your own identity and quit being so pathetic.

          • That said, I’d be happy to “ease up on Foolco.” All it would take is him keeping his nose in Santa Clarita and his pie hole shut for a decade or so and I’d likely forget what a scum he is.

          • It appears Shane loves the abuse as he keeps on comin’ back for more and more.

            I guess he considers it foreplay in his world. Egads!

          • I actually have more respect for Shane, who has presented this revolting troll persona but sticks with it, than I have for the non-entity that uses my name, Shane’s name, an endless series of randomly chosen screen names, and has no actual identity. They are like a black hole of personality. There are good reasons not to use your full name on a forum like this, but being too cowardly to create a screen name and stick to it is pretty remarkable.

        • Believe us no-one cares where u shoped or keep shoping so just go on with your detailed shopping places some where else bye ✌

  5. I’m not so sure if id want a WM associate picking my fruit and veggies. I mean, sometimes when I go into the store, I thought they would have thrown out the mushy Avocados and other bad fruit there. I wouldn’t want bad fruits or veggies. Sorry Walmart, but your associates just aren’t up to the task of doing this because they just don’t care….

  6. What? Not in Lancaster. Hey, aren’t there Walmarts in Lancaster?

    Sheesh. What’s wrecks the great PR guy doin’ or not doing for his city?
