They have hosted third party sellers for... at least 3-5 years. If you didnt know this already you wernt a customer. They lost 0 in revenue from when they opened their site up to third party sellers and gained lots of revenue from those third party sellers.

I dont like third party sellers either but obviously it makes financial sense for these companies to do this.

I did know they had 3rd parties but thought they were somewhat better vetted than Amazon.

And regardless, I'm on walmart.com so it reflects on them when some third party seller sends me shit.

It is true that I am not a frequent shopper there.
