The outage began shortly after 3:00 p.m. and shows no signs of letting up yet.

During the outage, the problem became more widespread, but it seems to be winding down now.

That said, customers are still seeing delays in receiving confirmations when they’ve placed orders.

For my end, Walmart is working fine.

Getting better?

There’s a slight drop in the Down Detector reports, with it currently sitting at just over 3,000.

Beginning of the end?

The reports have dropped substantially and quickly over the last few minutes.

While they reached as high as 3,600, they’re down to about 1,100 now.

All systems go?

When we check Down Detector half-an-hour ago, outage reports were totaling around 1,100.

At just past 5:20 ET, it’s dropped to 400.

Out of order?

Specifically, some users have a go at put orders through, only to see that order vanish.

Adding to the frustration is the lack of any order confirmation from Walmart.

There appear to be some lingering issues, with the most common being delayed confirmation emails for orders.

But barring any sudden spike in incident reports, Walmart seems to have addressed whatever was causing the outage.
