WTH?
It is always darkest before the dawn. I will wait it out. Why does it say "Amazon feedback and Electric Supply Direct"? Was there an invoice? I know there has to be more as I don't see anything that ties that to the product, vendor or Walmart.They were also not due for another several days. No surprise but maybe it's a white elephant thing where we all get a different useless unrelated item.

No invoice. What you see is what I got, well actually their were 6-7 of the faceplates.
The USPS tracking # on the envelope matched the one Walmart sent me for the purchase so that ties it together.
It didn't smell right and I would not have done it except was pretty sure Walmart would have my back, and they did.
Even if it did not work out for me it was a FUN find by Odoyle and for me was worth the risk. Sometimes you just have to kiss that frog for the heck of it.
Maybe you will have better luck.

Yep. They looked up my order #, seen it was not the scope and started the refund process. Says it will be back in my account within 5 days.
Kinda wonder if that electrical supply place is alsonot getting scammed?

I may be wrong, but I *think* Walmart subs out their online sales via Amazon (check the pricing and you will see Walmart is almost always the same as Amazon when ordering online). I have not had a problem with Walmart online ordering except when ordering glass jars of peppers and jams. They are shipped to the local store via FedEx and 100% got there broken...
I asked them WHY did they ship via FedEx when it would be MUCH cheaper to simply ship via their usual grocery delivery system and all I got was dumb stares.
Anyway, I will still order from Walmart from time to time when the price is right and I can't find it anywhere else. Not to mention they used to have next day delivery for orders over $35 (I think) TO MY HOME and you didn't have to pay $120 for *Prime* membership!
Just my .02

What did the seller say after you informed them that they shipped an incorrect item that was different than the listing ? ( with screenshots of actual listing pictures )

I WOULD DEMAND THAT THE CORRECT ITEM BE SENT AS A REPLACEMENT. (ALONG WITH SCREENSHOTS OF THE ACTUAL ITEM LISTING) AND GET WALMART INVOLVED IN HAVING THEM SEND THE CORRECT ITEM.

I was thinking the same thing. Force the vendor to at least eat return shipping and possibly send you the correct item. They may want to relist them in awhile for more and you might force them to send you one. But then you wind up with nothing in hand to take to the store. There are some possible options.
I would like to see more be received.

Guess what it's back in stock at a reduced price. And you can purchase expert help to have it installed.

Now seeing you can still put 51 in your cart after all our orders it is highly doubtful these exist. The more I see available the lower the possibility they are these scopes. I could see maybe 15 or 20 popping up somewhere but not 75 plus. Also the category being Wall Plates and that is what shoot44 received kind of puts the puzzle together a little more. Not looking good at all.
We can demand all we want but I am thinking they simply do not exist. I am thinking vendor "no habla English" like many on Amazon use translators to run their little business from China and have a US company drop ship everything so it looks like US business. It makes sense a bunch of electric wall plates would be lying about all over China but not old stock Spotting Scopes.
Odoyle......Did you buy a big pile to check out and send back like usual or did you pass on these?

I gotta say this deal is getting weirder. Just got this in an email from Honey:
And to add insult to injury pertaining to the OPs item received in the mail. I clicked to activate the offer and was sent to this Walmart page.
