What To Do When Your Walmart Delivery Is Missing

Steps Walmart Recommends

When your Walmart delivery by USPS is missing, Walmart recommends you take the following steps first:

  1. Make sure you've checked around the delivery location to see if the package or packages are in a different spot.
  2. Recheck the delivery confirmation to make sure it is listed as delivered.
  3. Ask around. Someone in the home may have already brought the delivery inside, or a neighbor may have received it by mistake.
  4. Make sure the address you have saved in your Walmart profile is the correct one.
  5. Sometimes a package can be marked delivered when it is still in transit, so if the package has not arrived in a couple of days, you can contact Walmart customer support here.
  6. You can also file a claim by hitting the "Contact Us" button on the page and submitting your lost package claim. Walmart recommends you wait two days to make sure the item was not marked delivered early before submitting a claim.

Checking With USPS

When your Walmart delivery by USPS doesn't show up at your door, but you were emailed or texted it was delivered, you also have the option to contact USPS by doing the following:

  1. Open the USPS website on your computer or device.
  2. Enter the tracking number provided in your confirmation email when your order was shipped.
  3. If it is showing delivered, but you don't have it, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "FAQs" link under "Helpful Links."
  4. Select "Where's My Package" under the "Missing, Late or Damaged" heading.
  5. Submit a service request via email by clicking the link provided on the page.
  6. USPS will try to locate the package and, if unsuccessful, will direct you to make a police report since the package may have been stolen.

You may be eligible for a refund from Walmart, but you must submit a claim online to process the refund. In addition, both Walmart and the USPS recommend taking steps to locate the package by checking thoroughly around your home or business, confirming the shipping address, and other methods before submitting a claim to ensure the package was not moved inside by someone else or was picked up by a helpful neighbor for safekeeping. For more information or assistance, contact Walmart customer support here.
