Add an item to cart that should be available at your local walmart to cart.
Click on Free Pickup on checkout page.

Showing options for [ZIP CODE] is posted.


Is the zip code for your area correct or not?


Here's my problem.


Currently the zip code displayed for me is a thousand miles away. It is incorrect.
All other major retailers I repeat this with DO have my metro area stores displayed correctly.

Only Walmart's web site does not.

This problem is browser independent.


I used to have this problem before getting Google Fiber (which gives you their own Google router).
Using a different router would fix this problem before. But now I have to use Google's router and interestingly, only Walmart's web site is affected with this problem now whereas before different web sites were affected too and the problem would be fixed by simply changing routers before...
