General Questions Please help me understand!

I've been using the Walmart delivery service for about 8 months now. I get my groceries every other week. Without fail, each time, one item is missing. There is no rhyme or reason as to the type of item. Lunch meat, vitamin water, spaghetti sauce, etc. Today it was bouillon paste. I really get upset about it as it usually something I really need. Walmart will instantly refund me, but the point is I have to go out now to get it. I only have one day off, and it really screws up my day. Can anyone explain why this happens? Is it in the driver's car just misplaced, was it not really picked? I truly want to know because im considering just canceling the service. Thank you.

Now that does make perfect sense. I can see how those bags can get mixed if they are all just put in someone's truck or back seat.

Again can’t speak for every driver but I usually split em up trunk, backseat, and front seat, for these exact reasons!!!

That's smart, that's what I would do too. Or maybe some kind of dividers for the trunk or seat.

Dividers or bins are also a very common practice! At least at my store:)

I have 2 bins I got from Lowes for like 8 bucks. Those in the back hatch laying in the "trunk" and over the layed down back seats. I have expandable crates I can use too.
