UPC 65838282040
Wal-Mart number 784170
This will tell them if they have any in stock in their store.
They can also do a search of other stores using these numbers. They can search in say a radius of say 50 miles (there are over 100 balls in stock within 40 miles of Middletown, Delaware as of tonight.
They can give you the store numbers and the number of balls on hand. I then went to the Walmart web site and got a listing of the stores in the area. The store number will print out with each store.
I also found that many times not all of the product is out on the shelf. They come in boxes of three so many times they are still in boxes in the back room.
It should be noted that this inventory system is not perfect, but is really pretty good at finding product. I also took along a picture of the product when I went to visit the stores to buy them. It often helped the employees find the products once they could see it.
