You'll find that with many of the products sold there.
Anecdote:
A couple of years ago, I had a client ask me about purchasing a new laptop. I gave them a Toshiba model number, and they went and got that model - or so I thought. Turns out they got the laptop at Walmart for about $50 less, however it had an added "w" at the end. It wouldn't connect to their wifi router in the next room. Wired? just fine, but no wifi. I told them perhaps it was defective, so they returned it for another of the same model.
Same thing, no wifi. I mentioned that Best Buy (where I told them to get it) might have had a bad batch, until they told me it was from Walmart (I hadn't noticed the slight model # difference). They returned the second one for a refund and got the model at Best Buy. That worked just fine. The Walmart model had a cheaper, ####tier wifi card inside - different manufacturer and everything.
The $50 they "saved" more than doubled for the service calls I had to make to them
Buyer beware.
