Wal Mart does it again..PLEASE READ

[littlebuggy]

I am so angry right now!! My husband is in Iraq again, and so he has to do his christmas shopping for me and the kids online. Yesterday he ordered something for our daughter and something for me from wal mart. He got a conformation email, then later he got a cancellation email. I called them today to find out why. After waiting forever to get ahold of a real person, she told me that they no longer accept orders that are placed by people overseas. I said so that basically means that our soldiers who are fighting for this country and companiers like your are no longer able to use you site to shop. WHAT THE HELL!!! Didn't they use to be all patriotic, and we love america...that's crap!! Please help me get the word out about this. I'm guessing that peole don't know that they are doing this, and everyone needs to know. We can't let them treat our soldiers like this!! I am so done with them at this point. Please, please help me pass the word!

Thank You!!

Thats HORRIBLE!!!!! I will make sure to tell everyone i know. I dont like shopping there anyways. Do you have a local news you can call (like a problem solvers line)... Everyone needs to know about this!

Yea! Another reason to hate Wal-Mart! Why should they care WHERE the items were ordered from, What a Joke!

That's what I'm doing right now. I just want to let as many people as I can know about this. We really need to get people to show them that we aren't going to just let them continue to do things like this. Where will it end with them?

How did they know he was overseas?

That is what I wondered. Unless he was having it shipped overseas how would they know he was overseas.

That just stinks. Who the hell do they think they are. I rarely ever shop there. Their toys are always broken, clothes are torn things don't work, so just who are they to not take an order and ship for one of our soldiers. Ohhhhh that makes me so mad

How did they know he was overseas?

His IP address was a non US address. He was trying to ship it to our house here in the states. So, it wasn't about where he was shipping it to, it was where he was when he placed the order.

Can't you place the order for him?

That's strange. Why would they even check his IP address? This our third deployment and we've never had any problems ordering from anywhere.

Well, one of the things was for me, and he really wants it to be a surprise. As far as the gifts for our daughter, last time he was gone I did all the christmas shopping, and he really felt out of the holiday's. This time he wants to do it all himself, it helps him feel a part of it still if he gets to shop for the gifts himslef instead of me just putting his name on things.
