Walmart
Verified PurchasePendingOnline order cancelled after payment
Complaint Details
I placed an order on Walmart.com for a TV that was on sale for $299. My payment was processed and I received a confirmation email. Two days later, they cancelled my order claiming it was "out of stock" - but the same TV is still showing available on their website at a higher price of $449. This seems like bait-and-switch tactics. They took my money, cancelled when they realized their pricing error, and now want me to pay more.
Desired Outcome
Honor the original sale price and ship the TV

I had an almost identical experience with them last year! It took me 6 weeks to get a refund. Keep all your documentation and consider filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau if they don't resolve it soon.
Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely look into the BBB route if this doesn't get resolved this week.
Have you tried reaching out to them on Twitter/X? Companies often respond faster to public complaints on social media. Just make sure to stay professional.
This is a clear violation of consumer protection laws in most states. Under the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), you're entitled to either repair, replacement, or refund when goods don't conform to the contract. Document everything and consider consulting with your state's consumer protection office.
