I usually order Purina Fancy Feast Seafood Grilled Collection from Walmart — always shipped and sold by Walmart directly. Last time I ordered, the website showed the product with the same image and said I’d bought it 5+ times. So I just added into the cart without thinking, didn’t even check the price, because I trusted it was the same one I always get — from Walmart, with a fair price. I thought it would arrive the next day, but after placing the order, it said it would take longer. I was disappointed, but I let it go — maybe I had just missed the information.
Then today, two days after ordering, an Amazon box showed up. I didn’t open it — thinking it was my husband’s, since he orders from Amazon constantly. But surprise! When he opened it, it was the cat food I had ordered from Walmart. My husband found a receipt inside the Amazon box showing the item cost half of what I paid on Walmart. It’s obvious that the third-party seller on Walmart bought it from Amazon and just had it shipped straight to me — and charged me double.
The website was really misleading. It showed that I had bought the product before, which made me assume it was the same one I always order, sold and shipped by Walmart.
What’s even more frustrating is that the product I received wasn’t even the right one. I ordered the Grilled Collection, but they sent me the Pate — which my cat dislikes the most.
Lesson learned — next time I order from Walmart, I’ll be more careful and double-check the seller before clicking buy.
