I had trouble with Alberton's onling grocery site so I ordered from Walmart's grocery delivery for the first time. [View all]

Just the stocked up on the usual grocerny iteams. Walmart delivered them OK, except tor two litters of a soft drink. I assumed they were out of the brand I wanted.

They mailed them to me. I check my mail box today at the developments multiple mail box bank and found the large box key in my regular box. There were the two litters of soft dring. Heavy and wrapped tandem style in Walmart plastic bags.

WTF? That makes no sense. How do they afford to send soda by mail. And why?
