Quote: Just in time for the holiday shopping season Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is redesigning Walmart.com.

The new redesign features larger images, an expedited check-out and more use of rich media. Overall the redesign takes in changes that incorporate 1,000 categories and more than 2 million pages at Walmart.com, the company says. In addition to larger and more clearly displayed images, Walmart.com has reduced the check-out process to about four clicks, the company says.

A new rich media application that Walmart.com calls "peel to reveal" enables shoppers to access additional content on about 5,000 pages without having to click to another page...

OK.. "about four clicks" is acceptable.

But I don't shop on wallyworlddotcom for "stuff.
Why should I / we?
If you have a store in your area.
What's the point?

Oh convenience huh?
Maybe it's just me... but I only shop online for "stuff"
I can't get locally or at a lower price online.

Been know to happen.
An example:
My son can get a Vic Firth Drum pad for 25.00 at band competitions.
The same one online is 35.00 + S&H.
So why buy online?
Same low quality wallyworld lamp shade may be 10.00 at the local store but
12.00 online then you have S&H.

I'll think I'll stick to buying unique or hard to find
items online from little guys and the crap at
my local wallyworld (if I buy at all from there this year). : Smile

Screw Wal-Mart.

But aside from that sentiment, xppman is right. If you are a WM shopper, why shop online? The few times I've looked at it, they were missing the things I've bought from WM in the past.

WalMart had major ads running for their website but when you tried to visit, it was under construction. Not too bright for a major corporation. I thought they were smarter than that.

Yep but the truth is wallygolly is a necessary EVIL some times.

In my area they are the only one's for example... who carry my print cartridge
and they also are the ONLY vendor in town that will special order hooks and chain
I use for my products and are cheaper than the mom and pops and Lowe's at it too.

That has been a REAL PITA for me since I moved over here last year.

That and packing tape. : Smile

Maybe they hired eBay development people who love to tinker
at the WRONG time of year. Happy001
