At $98/year the 'unlimited free' delivery break-even point is 14. So if you're only getting an order about once a month its cheaper to pay the $7.00 delivery fee each time. Then on top of that there is the $10 'express' fee, but that may go away as they add drivers. I don't need my Walmart stuff within 2 hours. AND on top of that there is the gratuity. But of course you have to weigh it against the cost savings of Walmart. For example we needed a small bag of medicated chick feed ($5.00) I forgot to get on my last Walmart Zombie trip, which I otherwise would have got at True Value ($11ish) rather than going back to WM for it. That one product right there is almost enough to pay the delivery fee. Then there is the 30 mile round trip if I wasn't bundling the visit with other needs in town (I don't know, like $5 for gas and wear and tear on vehicle). But it saves me the most valuable of all, my TIME and also risk of exposure.
So yes, it is expensive, but after our test order future ones will be huge so we don't have to do it often.
Another option is that you can order all your stuff online, they shop it, and you pick it up "curbside" whatever that means. I think it's free. Has anybody done that ?
