The disgruntled shopper posted their experience on X while calling out Walmart.
The user said: “How the f**k are you charging $47 dollars for shipping freaking coconut water.
“That is obscene.”
The user also posted a screen grab to prove the ridiculous fee.
It showed a Vita Coco multi-pack in their basket.
But the seller shipper fee stated that it would cost a whopping $47.76 to deliver the drinks.
The price of shipping even massively dwarfed the cost of the item, which was $11.28.
This took her total bill for getting a multi-pack of coconut water delivered to her door as $59.04.
Walmart scrambled to the customer, replying on the same day.
The supermarket chain said: “We’d like the opportunity to look into this for you.
“Can you please send us a DM at your earliest convenience?”
But this wasn’t the only instance of insanely high shipping fees.
Another customer called for a boycott after being enraged by the charges.
They posted on social media: “Walmart is so trash asking me for $24 to ship a mirror.”
The fed up shopper added: “Good bye [Walmart]! Hello Amazon!”
The retailer also responded hoping to resolve the complaints of the shopper.
They replied: “We’d like to look into this issue for you, Mathew.
“Can you provide us with more details about this in DM?”
It comes after a man sued Walmart for using his “personal picture” in store for an advert.
The Louisiana man said that the ad was ruining his business.
