What’s excluded
Founder & research lead
Muhammad Faran
Faran started the site after one too many dead ends looking up a simple Walmart policy. He runs the research, decides what gets published and what gets held back, and re-checks the pricing and policy pages himself whenever Walmart changes something.
Staff writer
Fatima Ahmad
Fatima writes the guides. Her specialty is taking a policy written for lawyers and turning it into something you can actually use at the service desk. She also keeps older guides current as the rules shift.
We start at the source
Walmart’s own policy pages and help center. Not other blogs. We link them so you can check for yourself.
We test it in real life
Policy and practice often differ, especially on returns. We say when a store can decide for itself.
We date every page
Prices and hours move. Each guide shows when we last checked it. Price pages get re-checked on a schedule.
We fix mistakes in public
Spot an error? Tell us. We correct it and note the change on the page.
