This morning I got an email about my camera/case from Walmart. They are basically saying “Uncle”, they aren’t going to fulfill the order but they are letting me keep the cases and returning all of the money. In addition they are sending a $10 eGift Card. It’s clearly not the same as getting an $80 camera for $4, but it is better than them opting to pull policy on this.

I have scored some AMAZING deals from Walmart.com that may or may not have been errors. Last year I got a $130 pack and play for only $13. I know some of you called in and the operator was like, “I don’t know why you thought you would get a camera for $4?” That makes me laugh, because I have totally gotten those deals before from Walmart! Whatever the glitch is their system I am sure at some point they will figure it out. Did you get the same email? Here is a copy of mine:
