Ordered a Chromebook laptop on January…
Ordered a Chromebook laptop on January 14 from the Walmart App with expected delivery of January 20. VIPOUTLET sent email indicating the item was shipped on January 14 via USPS with tracking information. VIPOUTLET shows the product was given to USPS at 3:44pm on January 14. USPS tracking indicated the item was never received. Emails from Walmart indicated the item would be delivered by 8:00pm on January 20th. This continued until January 21, when Walmart finally indicated the item was delayed. No further updates or information until I submitted a follow-up request the next day. A day later VIPOUTLET responded that they initiated a full refund but it would take 3-7 business days. Still waiting but I have to wonder, 1. Why did they pretend to issue an immediate refund if they actually shipped the computer? 2. What is the benefit to them if they issue a refund for a computer they advertised but possibly never had to sell? 3. The only benefit I can imagine right now is that some percentage of people don't follow-up and VIPOUTLET just keeps the money. Is there some other benefit they might gain? The minimal gain from hundreds of events just keeping the funds for a few days/weeks doesn't seem like a lot of benefit for them so there has to be more to it. Anyway, if you have the time to spend with the follow-up, go ahead and try an order from VIP OUTLET via the Walmart app. Enjoy the ride.
