Walmart review

Walmart is a practical option for family, party and classic board games if you already shop there. Walmart+ costs $98 a year after a 30-day trial that costs $1, and members get free next-day and two-day shipping from walmart.com with no order minimum, plus free delivery from stores on orders over $35 and free return pickups from home. Qualifying government assistance recipients and college students can join for $49 a year. The weakness for hobby gamers is the catalog. Walmart's own board game stock leans toward mass market titles, and many specialist games come from marketplace sellers, which Walmart says are mostly excluded from member free shipping. That means a niche game can end up with a seller's shipping fee and a higher price than at a hobby store. Check the seller name on the listing, and compare it with Miniature Market or GameNerdz before you order.
