Before reporting it, do these checks - Walmart will ask:
For first-time claims under $50, Walmart usually issues an instant refund. For larger orders or repeat claims, the system routes to a customer service agent.
Call 1-800-925-6278. Press the option for online orders. Say to the agent: "My Walmart.com order [order number] was marked delivered but I never received it. I'd like a refund or replacement."
The 13-digit order number starts with "200-" - have it ready. Phone agents can issue refunds even when the website's automated tool flagged the account. Full Walmart contact details: Walmart Customer Service.
If the missing order is from a third-party Walmart Marketplace seller (look for "Sold by [seller name]"), the process is slightly different:

If you suspect porch piracy, file a police report - Walmart doesn't require it for refunds, but it helps track package theft in your area. Also report to the courier (FedEx, UPS, USPS, or Walmart's Spark drivers) so they can investigate the route.
If the item was a high-value electronic, the carrier may be able to recover it from a delivery scan log.
Instant for small claims under $50. Larger refunds typically post within 5-7 business days to the original payment method.
Yes if you choose Replacement instead of Refund. Re-shipped items typically arrive in 3-5 business days.
Call 1-800-925-6278 and ask to escalate. Persistent claims with verifiable details (delivery photo of wrong address, video of porch) usually get resolved by tier-2 agents.
Yes - most Spark deliveries include a photo. Check the order tracking page on walmart.com or the Walmart app.
Other questions our readers commonly ask about this topic:
Yes - Walmart customer service is reachable on a toll-free U.S. number that does not charge a per-minute fee. Standard mobile-carrier minutes may apply on metered cellular plans. International callers may pay long-distance charges depending on country and carrier. Visit our Walmart contact page for current toll-free numbers and hours.
Simple problems (account access, password resets, basic billing questions) typically resolve in a single 10-15 minute call. Complex issues (refund disputes, identity verification, escalated complaints) usually take 3-7 business days because they need supervisor review or document submission. If your case has stalled past 7 business days, escalate to a supervisor or the executive customer service team.
First, politely ask to escalate to a supervisor or to the executive customer service team. Most brands have an internal "office of the president" that handles complex complaints. If escalation does not resolve it, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org), your state Attorney General consumer-protection portal, and - for finance, telecom, or airline issues - the relevant federal agency (CFPB, FCC, or DOT). Our Walmart customer service guide lists the alternate channels.
