Walmart charges a fee on most delivery orders – but customers have a chance to avoid the extra charges.
The big-box retailer tacks on a delivery fee for all orders unless you are a Walmart+ member.
Members can get free delivery on all orders after $35 is spent.
Delivery fees can range from $8 to $10 for those who aren't Walmart+ members.
However, shoppers are seeing other surcharges on substituted items.
This happens when customers order a product that is out of stock or discontinued and the substituted item costs more than the original.

Shoppers are then charged for the price of the product they are given - even though they didn't order it.
Just note that customers can opt out of receiving substitutions by clicking on Your Account > Purchase History > then selecting "Edit Order."
From there, shoppers can make changes to their orders, including substitution preferences.
However, the surcharge applies to all customers except SNAP EBT users.

If an item has been paid using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's electronic benefits transfer and a substitution must be made, the customer will only pay the price of the original item.
They will not be charged the more expensive price.
WALMART + PERKS
The massive retailer launched Walmart+ back in 2020 to compete with Amazon Prime.
While memberships cost $12.95 per month, shoppers will typically make that money back through discounts quite quickly.
Customers can also opt to pay $98 for a 12-month membership.
The subscription can save customers upwards of $1,300 annually largely through the following perks, according to Walmart.
As a member, shoppers will experience many benefits like lower gas prices, mobile scan-and-go, and free delivery.
Walmart offers same-day grocery delivery with no fees but you must spend at least $35.
While ordering, shoppers set a one-hour window for delivery between 7am and 8pm, and their products will arrive in that timeframe.
Walmart says it offers the same low prices online as it does in stores.
All deliveries are also contact-free.
OTHER WALMART SURCHARGES
Starting this month, many Walmart stores have added bag fees to comply with state mandates.
While fees are optional for compostable bags, shoppers will likely be paying more if they choose the traditional paper and reusable plastic options.
The new charge will be added to both in-store and pickup orders.
For now, Walmart is still using paper bags on delivery orders.
Other states where the plastic bans have taken effect: California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, Colorado, New York, and Oregon.
Plus, with Ria Money Transfer and MoneyGram, Walmart customers may send cash domestically and internationally but at a cost.
For domestic and using a credit card, expect the starting price to be $4 for Ria.
While those sending to a bank account with MoneyGram could find cheaper pricing, according to the company.
