If you are experiencing these problems there are a few things you can do, if you already have your Ticket and number. Here is what you need to try to make sure you lock in the deal you paid for. Even if you have trouble, you’ll still have the money you paid, so you can’t lose your cash and if you have a ticket and receipt, you shouldn’t lose your number.

If you run into Walmart 1 Hour guarantee problems, you can reach out to Walmart for help without going back to the store, but the best thing to do is to wait and try the website again later.

We saw a similar number of problems last year during the first part of the day, but Walmart was able to address the website problems quickly so that users could resume registration. You have until 11:59 PM Monday December 1st Central to register.

Waiting until Friday morning or afternoon offers enough time to reach out to Walmart if the problems continue. The Walmart 1 Hour guarantee website may simply be overloaded.

For users who get an error message that their code is not valid, it is possible to email Walmart for help. You can email your problem including a copy or picture of your receipt to [email protected] and you’ll hear back from a dedicated support team.

This team can help you fix many of the problems that users experience, and time for the rush to die down will also make it easier to register for  your item s that  you can pick it up by Christmas.

Walmart Black Friday: Are 1 Hour Guarantee Items Worth Buying?

iPad Mini Black Friday Deal at Walmart

iPad Mini Black Friday Deal at Walmart

The Walmart iPad mini deal may not be the deepest discount, but it is tied with Target for the best iPad mini Black Friday deal of the year. Walmart chops $50 off the price of the iPad mini and includes a $30 gift card that you can use on a future purchase. This combines for $80 in savings and essentially means you'll get an iPad mini for $169 after you factor in all the savings. That's a steal, even for the older version of the iPad without a Retina display.

    This is the first time I participated in a Black Friday shopping event. The item I wanted was at Walmart…am36 meg SDHC card that normally sells for around 20 bucks…on sale for 10.
    The cards should have been in the electronic section of the store. But they weren’t
    None of the employees knew where the products would be located. Everyone gave me a different response.
    Finally I saw someone with several cards in his hand. I asked him where he got them and he told me they were in the grocery section of the store. ???????
    So by the time I got there…they were gone.
    I wasted gas and 2 hours of my time to save ten bucks and didn’t even get what I came for

    Thats the last time I go to Walmart for Black Friday

    I’d rather buy it online at Amazon , pay a few bucks more and have it delivered to my house.
    I have better things to do with 2 hours.

    It is always a problem with Walmart even in June. Why do we continue to support a company that does not care about you just the bottom line. There has never been good service and they are always out of whatever you are attempting to purchase. Take the time to shop Target, Foodlion, Bilo, several other stores and price match. You will find that you will eventual save time in emails and complaints. Walmart will start to run their business with customer service or close their doors. Bottom line shop somewhere else or stop complaining.
    I won’t shop another walmart as I got scammed on the 50inch tv and the ipad. purchased the 1hourguarantee at a location 3 hours from my house. After ruining my entire day I do not have the items I paid for and will have to spend all day and fifty dollars in gas to get a three hundred dollar refund.
    Thank you walmart for costing me a day and $50 plus the lost time during thanksgiving from my family. Thank you

    Gee, Are we surprised that we can’t register our 1-hour guarantee receipt. After last years problems we thought this year would be a breeze. If Sam were still living he would be so let down by this. Fix this for Sam’s good name.

    Nacksuthin: you would’ve been better off going to staples for your SDHC cards. I went there yesterday cuz it’s right by my house and they were all $5.99! Originally $25.99-$39.99!! I bought a whole bunch of them to stock up. You gotta do your research…bottom line. People always think Wal-Mart is the cheapest place to buy things on black Friday and just in general but the truth is alot of the best deals are where you’d least expect them. A lot of the lesser popular stores have the best deals. Alot of places are doing price matching this year too. So as I said, do your homework before jetting off to spend hours in traffic and in line at Wal-Mart.

    And Clarence Gray: why are you telling people to stop complaining when you just went on a little complaining rant yourself about Wal-Mart? Practice what you preach.

    I ENTERED MY TC NUMBER BUT IT WOULD NOT LET ME PROCEED , WHAT IS THE PROBLEM PLEASE HELP.

    I encountered the same error, followed by a message indicating that my TC number was not recognized. I called the Help desk and this was a waste of time. In fact the rep told me shopping black Friday is a bad idea :) … So I followed the instructions that were include in the aforementioned error message, stating to wait an hour and try again. And the second attempt worked for me…. I’m guessing, when you enter your TC # it’s queuing the system for details, but tell you come back so it doesn’t have to process your request right away. And by the time you get back, details are ready…. I bet if you tried 15mins after your initial failed attempt, it will probably work… Otherwise, just wait the hour (as they’ve instructed) and try again. Hope this helped.

    Trying since the 28th to see if the TC# works, and still nothing, even contact the email support on the 29th and still not even a generic response, so we decide to go to the store and get the money back. In there we found out that is the problem is in the system they have. Costumer service even were having problem wit the receipt code in the system. Yes we do have our money back. So for the people that still have problem, go to the store. They will give you some options. You may get the product next year if you want to wait.

    I got everything to go through, but it says I will receive an e-mail regarding when my item will be ready for pick-up on/before Dec. 24th. My question is, how do I check on my item or do I simply wait until Walmart contacts me. I have no confirmation number, nothing. Thank you.

    This is what I was told by 3 store managers when I had to call about the site not allowing me to enter the TC#….It is a company wide error that the cashiers were not hitting the ‘1 hr guarantee’ option when checking out therefore the system thinks you physically already got the merchandise and nothing is on reserve for you! I had to go to the store and fill out a raincheck and was told I may not get the TV by Christmas! So much for the 1 hour guarantee!

    I purchased the beats Dr Dre wireless on the 1 hour guarantee on Thanksgiving night. We tried to register online with our receipt and a lot of people wrote that they couldn’t get it that that website had crashed. The electronic manager at walmart told me that i could still pick mine up without registering when they came in that the registrating just emailed telling when they came in. Now i call the store twice a day to see if they have come in. Then another personnel person told me if i didn’t register , even though the website didn’t work, i would just get a refund. I’m mad as hell. I am going to call the BBB if i get screwed out of this gift. I waited a long time in line and did everything i was supposed to do trying to register online. For 3 days nonstop we tried. Even in the middle of the night. Hopefully, you can help me. This gift is very important. Kerry K. Doss

    Have been waiting for my xbox one. I looked online and the store I am picking mine up at has them IN stock and for sale! I called they said they can’t give me one of those in stock I have to wait until all the black Friday sale come in before I can get mine. What? Thinking they are ripping us all off.

    Just wanted to post a positive response… I contacted the Walmart Facebook Support via email at [email protected] on 12/23 and received very quick response and resolution to my 1-Hour Guarantee Item issue… Thanks to Tina Kurtz from Walmart Customer Service, she coordinated my item pickup Today 12/24 and I will be picking it up from the desired Walmart location Today !! Kudos to Good Customer Service !!

    I STILL Dec 30, 2014 to get the 50″ TV that I bought on Thanksgiving day at 6:18 PM. I have called Wal-Mart Corporate MANY times only to be told, “oops, sorry, computer glitch.” This does not fix the issue that I did not have a gift for my child for christmas or the money to purchase anything else. EXTREMELY upset and P’O’ed.
