How accurate is the "In My Store" tab on walmart.com? [CLOSED]

I'm asking because camo and warnado just showed up in almost all of the local walmart stores according to the "In My Store" tab. I've been tracking them for a while and they actually just showed up a couple hours ago for my local stores.

It should synced with the inventory system so dead Accurate. That said, if only aces left it may seem like none left as people may hide them.

It just means your store carries them, so if they just showed up that may have just gotten them in, or their on the way, In my area only two of 8 show up and one of them is where I got my camo and warnado, so I'm assuming for them to show up they have had to atleast pass through the store, for example none of the stores show whamshell

Edit: and the store where I got mine only have gotten one "97" case with them in it, and I pretty much stop by their daily after work nothing new since then except a box of triple packs

It's not, at least with my stores.

Looked online and saw it. Called and was told a shipment was coming at 4, everything would be out by 6. Got there, nothing new on the shelves, asked and found they got no shipment in.

The miscommunication between online, actual stock and employees in stores (not just walmart. Looked up some best buys online, said they were closed on Sunday. Got out to them and found they were open; handful of TRU and walmarts have disconnected numbers despite what's listed on the official site, etc) is frankly quite shocking.

I found the mobile version of it to be much more helpful, and you can see mulitple stores at once rather than having to switch between them.

You can't always blame the employees. I think they make tracking this stuff hard on purpose hoping you come in the store and buy some other **** while you are there. Which never happens with me! smilie

It's not accurate in the least bit.

Yesterday on the website the local store for me said they had in Camo and Warnado but when I went there they didn't have any. I had an employee check in the back for me and everything but he couldn't find them.

mine hasn't failed me yet, if you dont see them their probably in the back, if they say there not, they probably lying but maybe not i got warnado, camo, and a couple others based on that tab alone at 2 different walmarts in arkansas

So I found out one of my walmarts is worthless today, I stopped by looking for Camo and Warnado for a friend and saw they had more in, I asked the empolyee to look up the UPC to see how much they had if they had any in the back etc, she said I know we don't and points to another employee and says she goes through all the boxes when they come in, pulls out the hard to find ones and sells them on ebay, She then encouraged me to look on ebay for the ones I'm missing, I'm really thinking about calling the store and filing a complaint

They aren't in the back and I proved the "in my store" is broken again. I looked to see if any of the Walmart stores in Rhode Island had them since I live close by. Two of them listed both Camo & Warnado as being there. I went to one store and they didn't have them and had nothing in the back. The second store I spoke right to the department manager he said "I got two boxes that just came in". I stood right there as he opened them up and they were just the boxes with L-Rod, Zook etc.

Has the mobile site ever shown "In stock" for any of the figures that you have ever checked? I have checked availability via the Walmart mobile site for multiple figures (including the common ones), and it shows out of stock for everything everywhere. I have seen a half-dozen Boomers at a number of stores and the mobile site shows it is OOS at every location.

Actually..that's a good question. I only looked up Camo/Warnado. I think someone was theorizing in another thread that some stores are just getting a "Skylanders Assortment" when they see it appear. Might be interesting to check out..someone should call corporate!

The actual day I found both Warnado and Camo at Walmart, their site had a 0 next to my store (as it had always been) two days later, it showed a 1. So by the time it is actually useful, they are probably all gone :/
