^ That's the 'official story' but the conspiracy theorist in me can't help but conjecture they simply take one off the shelf, leave it behind the customer service desk for a couple of days, then let you know that it has "arrived" as a sort of punishment for getting the reduced price.

that would take up valuable shelf space in CS.
I think it just get shipped on the next truck coming from warehouse so it doesn't really cost them anything to ship it.

trust me, they've lost sales due to this system.
I mean really? why not sell a guy a jumper instead of making him go online where he can find out amazon has it for same price???
sorry for the rant.

It may depend on the location it goes to etc....but I know for a fact two of my orders were shipped to the store via fedex....when picked up they were still sealed with the fedex shipping label as the only identifier....the last time i picked up in store(week ago maybe) it had a new label on it with a pretty nifty walmart barcode and my name that made it much easier to process. This one looks like it probably rode a walmart truck to the store. I really hate ordering to the store as it takes forever for me to get service in the back of the store...My site to store is in the back/i think layaway dept area and is not a place desired to be hanging out in....right next to the bathrooms.

I've had it work both ways.

Some items I've purchased online have been shipped via FedEx from a warehouse to my store. I get an email with the FedEx tracking number and they arrive in an outer box with FedEx labels.

I've also had items purchased online that were available in my store the same day. One of those items still had the security Spider Wrap on it that they removed before they gave it to me.

The BP that I ordered was shipped via Fedex as well. It was shipped to a postal outlet in Buffalo NY. Should be driving down to pick it up sometime this month along with a QAR I had shipped there :)

Tempted to get the Whitehouse thats on sale now as well on Amazon...
