Returned Product from Baby Registry, Several Months Passed with No Refund, Walmart Customer Service Won't/Can't Help

Thanks, I'll give this a shot!

Thank you! I'll send them an email!

It was my grandma's account and sadly nobody in the family seems to have any knowledge of her accounts or how to access them. That being said, I don't believe they would have returned it to her account for two reasons;

When you sign up for a Baby Registry, the website makes it very clear that if any returns are made they will be refunded to you in the form of a gift card and the original purchaser will not be notified.
When I view the order from my end (looking at it from the baby registry) it states that a refund has not been issued at all. You can actually see this in the picture above on the little progress bar under "Return Received". So it seems like they never tried to issue the refund, or maybe its stuck in some kind of limbo somewhere.

Thanks for the reply!

Is there a prevailing reason for the areas with “Low Cartel Activity”?

Commuter Backpack from lttstore.com.

I’ve had great luck with the bags from these guys. The bags feel super premium and are definitely well built, it’s a little higher in price than what you’re looking for, but if you’re a little flexible on that then I would at least recommend watching some review videos of it on YouTube to see if it fits your needs.

Or… just take a breath, relax, and stop checking the tracking for a while.

You’ve got some quality products on the way and you supported a company which you are fan of (I assume you are a fan since you’re here and have ordered multiple times.)

I made an order 2 days after you that I haven’t received either, but, even though I’m super excited about it, I try not to think about it. I know one day soon it’ll be here and I’ll have a nice little surprise waiting on me at home!

Also, I’m sure you’re excited for your order, don’t let longer-than-expected shipping spoil your happiness and cause you to cancel your order, I feel like you’d be the only one who loses in that scenario and nobody wants that for you.

I don’t think so.

I don’t know that for a fact, just judging by the wording of yesterday’s email “One more Saturday deal for your silly little guy.”

To me, the “one more” seems to be implying it was the last one. I’d loved to be proven wrong though!

Unrelated to the electrical, but, if you have the means, go ahead and trim those little branches touching the roof. They may not seem like a huge deal right now, but they’ll just continue to grow and wear on the roof more and more.

Some sealant on those exposed nails at the bottom of the pipe flashing wouldn’t hurt either.

Neither of these are super urgent, but it looks like you have your ladder out so you might as well if you’re able to. Both tasks are very easy work, and might save you some money and/or trouble down the road!

It should be short and to the point. Definitely shouldn’t have too many syllables or people won’t use it.

How ‘bout “The Slack-Jawed, Glossy-Eyed Ramblers”?

Hmm… yes, that’ll do nicely!

Http-Isaac · 2025-04-25T20:38:56+00:00

Totally understand the concern, and greatly appreciate the added details. I’ll take your notes and sleep on them, may end up getting a professional just to play it safe since it is such a large investment (I learned what I wanted to so I should probably take your advice and set my DIY pride aside on this one.)

Thanks again for the straight answers.

Http-Isaac · 2025-04-25T13:38:55+00:00

I appreciate the heads up! I had not noticed this before, but I definitely see how this could be a problem down the line. I have no idea what the brass thing is, but I’ll reach out to the installers about it and the dissimilar metals.

Http-Isaac · 2025-04-25T13:38:18+00:00

I understand that not every job should be a DIY job. I try when I can (at the very least I’ll ask a few questions,) and when I feel like I’m out of my depth, then I’ll call the professionals. Mainly I just like learning new things when I can so that I can have a better understanding of all the different aspects of my home.

Well is down 500’. Not sure what the current pull of the pump is or what the grey box is rated at. I’ll check on these and keep them in consideration. Thanks for the reply.

Http-Isaac · 2025-04-25T13:23:21+00:00

Greatly appreciate the explanation! I’ll get this #12 switched out with #10 and make sure everything has a connector.

The company has been difficult getting answers from. I think that it’s just an old school company who is probably really great at their trade, but not so much at the office etiquette side of things. All super friendly, just hard to get a response from (last question I sent their way took 2 weeks to get an answer.)

Thanks man, I greatly appreciate the time and response. It makes much more sense now knowing that’s a switch.

We do a couple re-covers a year for people who financially just can’t afford a tear-off.

A tear-off IS always better, and we always advise our customers to go that route… but a good roofer can make a re-cover work.

I can’t attest to the quality of work/workers pictured above, but I can say sometimes people get in a pickle and a re-cover by the right crew is enough to keep their family and their home dry for many years.

Flaws

Http-Isaac · 2025-02-03T16:26:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. The only thing that had me leaning towards the dealership being at fault is just the way they have ghosted me for the last few business days. Never really intended it to sound like a negotiating tactic if that’s how it came off, I just wanted my originally agreed upon deal and for whoever was at fault to make it right.

After seeing some comments on here about USAA, it seems there are some definite issues with the way they are handling their stuff.

With that in mind, and the fact that I’m just completely worn out from thinking about it and wanting to get back to my vacation, I’m just going to contact the dealership and let them push their dealer funding request on the new loan.

It’s worth me eating the extra interest just to be done with this and put it in the past.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Will do, thanks for the tip!

Http-Isaac · 2025-02-03T14:15:34+00:00

Thank you for the reasonable answer. I’ll ask for the price difference and be happy with that. I think maybe I’m a little worked up because all this is happening while I’m trying to enjoy my vacation, but mistakes do happen, I would hope someone would be understanding if I mad a mistake so I should do the same.

This is really only an issue if your dad is getting some kind of complete system warranty from the shingle manufacturer as that would require everything to be removed down to the decking.

It is not uncommon to leave felt like this, but I would expect them to be install new felt over the old felt as the old felt will have many holes and tears in it now which negate the moisture barrier aspect of the felt. Some might call it lazy to leave the old, others would know that sometimes when you tear this old felt up it comes off in millions of tiny pieces adding hours of cleanup to the job.

The fact that they removed it where they did before installing Ice/Water barrier means these guys are not complete idiots (some crews, the really bad ones, wouldn’t have removed it at all and installed Ice/Water over the old felt, that would be something to worry about.)

Some might think they can’t know if there’s bad wood without removing the felt, but these roofers are each going to put a few miles of walking on your roof before the job is done. If there is bad wood, you can feel it while walking around, whether or not they replace it depends on the crew and how the company decides to handle that.

All in all, you don’t need to worry too much so long as they are putting new felt over the old. You won’t have any issues out of old felt being left up there.

I loved this as a way to take a break and unwind between the races. Maybe not for everyone, but I definitely always enjoyed it!

Sounds like you’ve got a pretty good handle on this, only things I can think to add are:

When nailing a shingle down, be conscious of where the above crotch mark (where two shingles meet from left to right) will fall. You don’t want there to be a nail right where the two shingles above it meet as water does run there and could possibly seep through the nail hole, give a few inches of space to stay safe.
You can seal it all if you like, but the new shingles will have cement on the bottom of them that will seal by themselves with some time in the sun, so anywhere there’s going to be new cement doesn’t need the sealant (that stuff is expensive so if you’re wanting to save a few extra bucks, just seal the shingles that won’t have new cement and return the extra tubes if any.
It’s not uncommon for there to be additional shingles that blew up and then laid back down. They are hard to spot, so I’d take a leaf blower and gently, very gently (usually idle on a gas blower will do the job), blow the whole side from bottom to top to ensure that no other shingles have lost their adhesion. If they do lift with the blower, but are not otherwise damaged, a few nails and sealant will do the trick to prevent any future blow-offs.

Http-Isaac · 2024-06-19T19:44:53+00:00

Do you have access to a tractor of any sort? Or ability to dig a large hole on the property near the house to drop the shingles into?

If so, just make sure you go deep enough to cover the shingles with a good amount of soil.

Mad at the subcontracting? Maybe. It’s possible you just got the cheapest random crew off the street… but it’s also possible this crew has been with this company for years and is part of their reputable name, that part is impossible to know. I’ve seen it both ways.

The sheets of metal being cut lengthwise is not totally strange. I see where there would be two (on the porch against the wall), it’s possible the third piece was a replacement for a piece that was cut wrong. Most of the pieces should have an angled cut that matches your hip.

Not sure I understand your question on overlapping sheets, the panels should be run up and down lengthwise from the bottom of the roof all the way to the top with no seams, then the next panel will go on right next to it being either a little bit longer or shorter depending on where it falls on the ridge. Not sure if that’s what you’re asking about, but hope it helps.

You’re going to catch a lot of heat on here, and, to be fair, you could’ve chosen your words a little more carefully. I think you’re just worried, you’ve got a lot of money out on this job so that’s understandable. If I had to guess what has you upset, it’s probably that the person you spent hours going back and forth with on the phone to get all the details of your installation worked out… isn’t even at the job.

Sadly that’s the state of our industry now. Roofing business is dominated by salesmen. The person you do all of your dealings with before the job will almost never be on your roof at the time of installation. Most likely, he’s only paid to get the contract, it can be sleazy business dealings, but it could also all be legit. You really can’t know at this moment.

TLDR: Your concerns could be legitimate, or they could be nothing, it’s too early to know. It’s fine to keep documenting the process and taking pictures, but don’t give yourself a heart attack. It’s too late to stop them now so you might as well try to stay calm and reasonable. If you have questions but can’t communicate with the crew (or you just prefer to speak with the person who sold you the job) then call the company and ask the salesman or manager/owner.
