How to Contact Walmart About a Delayed Order

If delivery is late, consider checking the carrier first for any shipping delays in your area. When the delivery window has passed and you still don't have your orders, you may complain to Walmart regarding the delay. All you need to do is use the Contact Us button to complain about your order. You may also call their toll-free number or email Customer Support.

What to Do If the Order Isn't Received

If you got a notification saying that the items have been delivered but you don't have the items yet, consider asking your neighbors or family members if they got the order. Make sure you check the delivery confirmation and review your address to check for any mistakes.

For orders with scheduled delivery, check the tracking details to know where the order was delivered. If it was delivered to the wrong house, contact Walmart Customer Support.

In some cases, the driver may also return your order if they can't find your address or if they can't find a safe location. They may also return your order if you're unreachable. When this happens, a Walmart associate will contact you to reschedule your delivery. They will cancel the order if rescheduling isn't possible. You will not be charged for your order.
