Has anyone else had a problem with Walmart+ order saying an item was picked, is to be delivered, and was not without informing you?

“I had expected cat food in my order, it was not. My cats and I were upset. This isn't the first time this has happened. I don't feel I can depend on receiving my items. Has this happened to anyone else? Oh. I canceled Walmart+.”
