I ordered a $5 thing from Wal-Mart?s website a while back and had it sent to the local store (free shipping). I thought they?d load it onto a Wal-Mart truck somewhere down the line or something.

No, they UPS?d a $5 item to the local store and I should be able to pick it up tonight or tomorrow since it is already in the nearest big city today.

Can someone explain how in the world they make money this way?

Maybe the china-men only charged Wal Mart 1cent for your $5 product?   :Smiley

How can they send it UPS? That is what I want to know.

Maybe wal-mart stores have a UPS contract and it is part of the deal? Have you called and asked them?

I'm probably going to go and pick it up tomorrow.

I assume they have a deal with UPS, it was definitely not a speedy delivery. Maybe a "where space is available" kind of thing.
