    So, I've heard that there are some Walmart DCs that do all their unloads at 12am for both produce, meat, dairy and frozen but I have yet to actually hear where. Has anyone experienced this? I know most meat or produce appointments are 0415-1000(am) and most dairy and frozen unloads are 1500-2100(pm). If they exist, is it any faster? Slower?

    Walmart recieves when they receive. The appointments are around the clock. I've taken frozen and perishables in at all times of the night and day.

    I've never been late to a Walmart appointment, and I've never been in and out in two hours... or even close.

    I think it might depend on what you have. Walmart usually takes 2 hours, but even if you have 1 product and its 10 boxes on 1 pallet, it'll still be 2 hours. Walmart is spiteful. Lately it's been over 2 hours though. But if you're late, they will keep you there 6-7 hours. Not even long enough for a break, because once again, they're spiteful.

    Probably they have to check every single piece of fruit, lol. I hate loads like that. It's got to be thoroughly inspected 18 times. lol.

    Walmart does unload around the clock, but they do only unload certain types of products during certain time windows.


    Examples:
    Produce: 12:00 am - 3:00 am
    Meats: 3:00 am - 6:00 am
    Dairy: 6:00 am - 9:00 am

    Sometimes you can get earlier appointments ( if they have them available ) because your appointment is later in the window for that product type.
