FWIW, I have had great luck purchasing more traditional (non-ham) big-ticket
items online from Walmart.com and having the merchandise delivered to a local
Walmart store for my pickup, thus saving shipping charges.
However, one thing to watch is whether the item you're purchasing is being sold
by Walmart or by a third party through Walmart.com. The only problem I ever
experienced involved a purchase that actually was from a third party -- and
when a problem developed, Walmart said they were unable to do anything about
it. I was forced to deal with the third party, and the experience wasn't
pleasant.
I'm not warning against purchasing coax from a third party via Walmart.com. I'm
just saying that if there is any hitch, Walmart may not be of any assistance in
resolving it. And returning a defective item to the Walmart store may not be
allowed if it came from a third party via Walmart.com.
If you read the fine print in the online product listings, you will see a "sold
by" notice telling from whom you are purchasing.
Overall, I have been very pleased in my dealings with Walmart.com.

Not sure why LMR1200 is a
good choice @ $12/ft when 7/8" AVA5-50 is
available at $4.40 or less per foot (last I
paid for it 16 months ago
was $3.35).

for LMR coaxial cable on the wallmart web site. They offer
LMR-400 and other types thru 3rd parties. I have not
compared their prices though, but knowing wallmart, yhey
should be competitive.
