Downside: This site lacks some of the high-end, name brand items found on the other sites reviewed. It also includes a smaller selection of each product item. Distinctive baby gear is sacrificed for lower savings.

Website:  

The site is well-organized and pages load quickly. Since this baby store is not strictly a ‘baby’ retailer, the consumer has the task of navigating to the baby area of the site to view items.

The baby area homepage is a little sterile and boring; more imagination could have been used to create more visual interest.

Searches can be conducted with the find function located at the top of the screen; searches can also be narrowed down by specific categories and brand names.

Most products are customer reviewed and 5 star-rated.

Customer Service:

Shipping:  

Ordering is done online, after an account is registered.

Payment options include all major credit cards, Wal-Mart gift cards, PayPal, and the Bill Me Later feature that allows customers to buy now and pay up to 90 days later (upon credit approval).

Delivery can be expedited with an extra shipping charge added. Walmart.com provides free site to store shipping and .97 cent shipping promos on select items.

Standard shipping applies to all other orders depending upon location.

Walmart will provide you with the basic essentials that every parent needs to start off baby’s life right, however the site is a little bland and lacks the variety of products that you would find at our top three baby stores; Amazon.com, BabyAge.com and Babies”R”Us.com. If you are looking for individuality, Walmart.com is not the site for you. The site is more generic based and less focused on the distinctive style that some parents are looking to find for their future ‘trendsetters’.
