Cyber sales rush affects Walmart

 

Walmart has been experiencing an intermittent outage today during their Cyber Week of deals and while the Walmart website hasn’t gone down overall, you will find some pages not displaying from time-to-time. This is due to heavy demand for certain products like deals on Walmart’s featured tablets, laptops and televisions.
The screenshot below was taking just moments ago and some of Product Reviews readers might have seen this page below on Walmart, although it’s happening frequently during the Cyber Week sales.


We have had a number of reports from our readers and a couple of emails, although a few shoppers thought Walmart not displaying the dedicated Cyber Week specials page was due to the store being updated with new deals. This wasn’t the case, and evident once the page returned but soon went again for a number of consumers.
In a nutshell, you might see a message explaining “You’ve selected a very popular item”. Walmart then detail that they’re working on getting you to the product page you requested.
