Over the last four years the Walmart Black Friday ad included a 1 Hour In Stock Guarantee that allows users to make sure they get a hot item even if the local store sells out.
It's the only way that Black Friday doorbusters are worth waiting in line for, and we expect that Walmart will offer this again. Typically this works by requiring users be in line for a 1 Hour in Stock Guarantee before the hour is up. If the item is in stock, you get it at that price and take it home. If it is sold out locally you can get it delivered to your local store by Christmas at Black Friday pricing. |
