Can Anyone tell me what time walmart stops receiving deliveries

I've ran 3 deliveries to Walmart in my life time. All of them unloaded between 3am-6am.
I believe it's 9 am they stop

If it is a walmart distribution center....usually they are very picky about appointment time. I've been turned back cause I showed up an hour early.

you might be quicker to go into front of store and page shift manager....i did....I din't hve grocery or merchandise and no one wanted to receive it...LOL
Walmarts are a pain in my tush. I hate delivering there.

I had a delivery 5 minutes before the receiver was to go on break.
Instead of telling me that, he let me in then proceeded to lock the overhead door and go on break, leaving me there to twiddle my thumbs.

I was pizzed to say the least.

We're hoping a little Walmart in AZ decides to help us out getting a little 89 pounder off whenever Bill & Carolee show up. All weekend to get there but would like to get a little love from your neighborhood Walmart. LOL!!

At home OOS until Sunday morning. I'm preparing for our annual Christmas party Saturday night. Aside from cleaning and other miscellaneous duties, my task tonight was to test the candles.

You're right I missed one. I should note that these are Luminara Candles which are battery operated. My task was to check each one and replace the batteries as necessary. Not too bad, one out of 23 I missed.

Heck, I don't know. 89 pounds out of MEM. Probably. Posted as 110#.
Love having Bill & Carolee teaming. The load didn't need a team but a think it helps to "advertise" the team Sprinter in the bid.
Maybe it also helped that the broker really seems to like us. Got the rate. Not rape. A fair rate for a posted load these days. Plus, Phoenix has been HOT lately. Slide West and grab a team load going back East on Monday. That's the plan. Another 2000-2500 early next week. :)
Now, if the Carolinas and TN would improve a bit. Gotten cheap down there this week. Bad. Boo. Yuck. Puke.

It's Walmart! I don't think a union is involved.

I thought Walmart was all Union. I could be wrong but had an employee of mine at a QVC warehouse in PA that said they were "forced" (his words, not mine) to join the union.
Regional? Maybe. Maybe he was full of it. Who knows? Someone knows.

I hear that St. Louis has been hot lately. Especially the north side.

First time I went there my GPS took me up a skinny curvy 2 lane road

I've been there more times than I can count or at least remember lol. Now it's easy just get off I81 go to cougar trail rd. I have only been driving for 13 months so I don't know how it was before.

Unions. Pfst!!!!

If WalMart treated [and paid] "Associates" halfway decently, they wouldn't want a union. But if they needed [and got] a union, they wouldn't need food stamps to feed their kids. They won't get one though - when the meatcutters voted to join a union, WalMart fired them, and contracted the jobs to an outside vendor.
They treat truck drivers delivering to their locations like trash, too.
