I paid for my Walmart orders using PayPal and the payment was charged right away at the time of purchase. Order status hasn't changed the whole time from arriving June 5th.
Not really worried either way since I have backup orders from GameStop and Nintendo, or rather these are the backup orders. Just wanted to post this as a point of reference for anybody else who ordered with PayPal.

I got the Walmart "double check your address" email around midnight last night. But I still haven't been charged anything, and the status on my order still hasn't advanced from the first step, "placed".
I was initially happy to see the email, but now I still have anxiety that it was just an automatic message that happens when a preorder is a week out, and maybe I'm not actually in the clear yet. Sigh

So last night I got a noticed to check my payment method.
I have a Capital One card that was used buuut I had to cancel it a few weeks ago due to fraud issues. I reached out to Walmart about this and they said it would be fine as they already charged the card...guess not.
I was able to use the new card and it saved and I got a new email confirming the payment was processed. Still shows pending in my capital account.
Hope this works out.

And most orders were online so what is your point?

Ordering consoles from online was always disaster, that was true for PS5 as well.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That's a nice heap of garbage there.I went to my local Walmart today and they had a bunch of Switch 2s in stock. The guy who was working electronics told me that one of them is mine since I'll be having it delivered from the store on Thursday.

Damn, you couldn't stick to maybe getting two at two different stores? No wonder I couldn't get this.

I know you're just kidding, but they're for me and my sons. We already sold our Switch 1s in anticipation.

Walmart is playing games with me or something. My May 31st charge was yet another phantom charge. I just noticed my funds were refunded but my order is still saying placed and arriving by June 5th. I swear if I get another fraud alert from the bank when/if they decide to actually charge me that I have to approve I'm gonna flip. WTF Walmart!!!

Surprise surprise, despite calling them twice this week when I got emails about card trouble, clearing the trouble, and being assured by support that the pre-order was fine, today I got an email saying my order has been canceled.
I buy so much stuff through my credit card and I haven't had a single issue with it for years, now myself and others are suddenly having card trouble from one specific vendor? Oh well I suppose it wasn't meant to be; it's not like I'm bored or don't already have a big backlog of games to play.
