I have used Chewy for years for many dog items (including food, toys, medications, etc.) and the customer service has always been top notch. I had an incident where my dog had her food changed by her vet and I had recently ordered a new bag of her old food. I contacted Chewy about returning the bag and they refunded me and told me to donate the food to a person who really needs it (which I did).
I recently contacted Chewy about my beloved dog, Roxie, passing away and needing to make her account and prescriptions inactive. The customer service representative was so incredibly friendly and expressed his sadness due to my dog's passing. He took the time to help me with anything I needed and I made the process much easier for me. The next day, a bouquet for beautiful flowers was delivered to my home from Chewy with a very heartfelt note expressing their sympathy. This was the truly the kindest gesture I have ever experienced from a company. They have made me want to stop shopping at big box pet stores and only shop through them. I can't imagine using any other company for another pet. I always recommend this company to everyone I know!

I can’t say enough about this company!! They have been so accommodating and amazing to work with. Outstanding customer service! What really topped it off for me was the fact that we had to put my fur baby down and they went above and beyond to send me such compassion during this difficult time of my grieving. They have sent heartfelt emails, to giving me a refund of my dogs last food order that was barely used, to sending me a beautiful floral arrangement. I’m truly blown away and can’t thank them enough! I will recommend them to everyone I know that has a pet and eventually I will use them again when I’m ready to give another fur baby a good life!

I had never ordered anything from this company, before signing up for autoship for Dr. Harvey's raw dog food. Before I got the first bag my dog passed away unexpectedly. I received the bag the day after he died. I emailed customer service and told them what happened and they credited my account for the food. They were so sympathetic, I was totally touched. After several thoughtful emails, I received a bouquet of roses with a sympathy card from customer service and Chewy. com. When & if I get another dog, Chewy definitely has my business. I can't say enough good things about this company. Thanks for caring.

I ordered ** 16mg for my pitbull and 5.4mg for my Dotson. My vet charges over $200 so I went to Chewy.com which cost a lot less. They have been on those meds for about a month the first batch they was still scratching and biting a little bit. The second batch are complete trash. I emailed Chewy about it. I had no luck there. They asked me to return the order for a refund, which I can’t because the babies used it all. That’s how I know it does not work. My babies skin is completely red from scratching and biting a lot so now I have no choice but to go back to the vet. When they took the first pill from the vet I can see the difference.

This certainly isn't my first order for Chewy but this is my first review. Their Customer Service is UNTOUCHABLE! I have never in my entire life met a nicer crew than those who work for Chewy!! The friendliest, goes above and beyond for everything you need. I've ordered the wrong size before, I've ordered the wrong product, had issues with a card - Chewy took care of everything for me. As a dog owner and dog lover, I wouldn't trust any other company/group of people but Chewy to help me take care of my babies!

I have been a loyal customer of Chewy.com for over a year. I have never had any issues with the company until now, I have also never returned anything before. I purchased a dog coat and paw cleaner for my pup in December which fit her to large. I ordered the smaller size immediately, smaller meaning size large, even before returning the xlarge one expecting that I would just get a refund when they received it. It is now, February and have not received my refund. All I get from the people who answer the phone is the refund is pending for 3 weeks now. I have phoned customer service numerous times to no avail.
Terrible customer service, no one is able to assist you. When you ask to speak to a manager, they say the manager will call you back in 24 hours. It's been 14 days no call from anyone. Really, really unhappy with the customer service. No one knows what to tell me about my refund. I can't get any answers to any questions. NO MANAGEMENT IN THIS PLACE. All I want is my refund for the items that I sent back. Think twice before shopping here especially if you are not sure about the item you are purchasing. You may never see your money again, after you send it back.

I had to say goodbye to a fur baby after placing an order for additional prescription meds for him. I emailed Chewy to let them know I needed to cancel the open order and wanted to return the order I just received. Amber wrote me a very sweet email being very sympathetic and refunding not only the meds I just ordered but some of the food that I had previously ordered. When I returned from picking up my sweet baby’s remains from the vet, someone rang my doorbell. Amber sent flowers. I was blown away by the letter and now flowers. That just shows how much the staff at Chewy care about the animals and families that they serve.

Chewy is a real class act. We were not frequent customers, but we sure will be from this point forward. Recently, I make my first purchase and ordered from Chewy several hundred dollars of medications and supplements for our elderly and sick dog. Before we received the shipments days later, my wife made the agonizing decision to save our beloved dog from further suffering. Several days after the packages arrived, my wife called Chewy to ask about any return policy under the circumstances. Remarkably, Chewy's customer service representative advised my wife that there was no need to return the products. She told my wife that our account would be credited the full amount of the purchase, and we should donate the products to a shelter or other place that would give us peace. That was just awesome, and it reflects the generous and compassionate heart of this Corporate Citizen.
But wait; there is more. The other day I looked outside the front door and there was a box addressed to my wife. She opened the box and, to her delight, there was a dozen beautiful, long-stem roses and a card from Chewy sending condolences for the loss of our cherished dog. That is just priceless. I applaud Chewy. It expected nothing and Chewy did so much. Certainly, Chewy is invested in the smallest customer it serves. That is truly special in this day and age. Thank you, Chewy.

I literally just made an account here so I could review this company. They have went above and beyond every step over the last year. When shipping was a mess back in March 2020 they communicated amazingly and always made sure we got our products. We've had a couple packages say they were delivered but not and literally within 20 minutes they responded to my email and said they would send out a new package. They sent my entire order again even though it was just 1 out of 2 boxes I reported missing. I had a box of cat treats arrived broke from transport and I messaged them if they could add a little more padding next order. Not only did they but they sent me 2 more boxes of cat treats even though I was not even requesting a new one. Their customer service goes above so much that I'm taking time out of my busy life working full time and having a toddler to write this. This company rocks.

We use Chewy for all of our pet needs and usually have no problems. One of our products needs a vet approval, so when it expired I received a message telling me approval was needed. We reached out to our vet and she said she would approve, so I made the order. Our order was then "in process" for a few days before I received an email again stating that approval was needed. I created a new order and again waited. In the meantime, I contacted the vet who confirmed that she had approved it through her online portal. Again, I received an email from Chewy a few days later stating approval needed. I called Chewy directly and the customer rep told me that it was good to go. Later that day I received an email stating that approval was needed!! Made a 3rd order. Confirmed that the vet approved it. Received an email from Chewy stating order was approved. Then received a 2nd order from Chewy stating that approval was needed??!!
Went to Chewy and corresponded through their 'online chat" and was told that the wrong approval was obtained? I forwarded this to the vet who basically said, "WTF!!" There is only one way to approve it online. The vet actually advised us to order elsewhere as Chewy were being so ridiculous. She ultimately called Chewy directly and had it approved. What should have been a straightforward issue became a 2 week saga which took up not only my time but the vets as well. Clearly something is wrong with Chewy's process of vet approvals, as I have no doubt my vet approved this order 2x online. Notified Chewy of this and got a terse response stating that approval was obtained on the day of the vet call. Really poor and disappointing from Chewy.

I was ordering American made chicken jerky chews for my dogs to the tune of 4 bags per month. I decided not to autoship because I didn't trust the company yet. Good thing I did, as I watched the price raise $2/bag on each order. Within a month and a half the costs increased 25%, from a start of $30 a bag, close to $40 a bag. It's likely that wouldn't have stopped either. I would never order from this company again until they ditch their price gouging habits. I go local now to avoid the internet wherever possible. I contacted the jerky company to let them know and asked if I could order direct. They suggested Amazon. I replied "no thanks", and have ditched the treats altogether.

I have used Chewy's autoship feature for years but cancelled today. I guess I was spoiled with 3 day delivery but this last one is supposed to be arriving 6 days after I ordered. Since Chewy says delivery in 1-3 days, that isn't quite holding up their end of the bargain. In fairness, I did order on Saturday, but even taking the weekend into consideration, that still doesn't meet their stated criteria of 3 days. Also, they offer no other shipping carrier than FedEx which is notoriously unreliable in my area. I have found the same product on Amazon for $10 less and with Prime shipping, faster turnaround time.

Chewy doesn't ship to Alaska, I am so tired of hearing this. It's so simple to figure out USPS mail and it's not much more expensive. It's apparent Chewy just doesn't care about anybody outside their core area. It's not that hard. Would never do business with them.

I have been a customer of Chewy for years, off and on. My cat passed away very suddenly and I had just received an autoship.

I have been placing orders through Chewy.com for years and only recently have I had an issue that they stepped in to remedy far earlier than I would have expected. My standard auto ship order showed that it was delivered via FedEx, but it wasn't at my house nor my neighbor's. I filed a claim with FedEx and then emailed Chewy.com right away to let them know that the order didn't make it as expected. They sent a very nice response to my email within an hour saying that they replaced my order at $0 and to let them know when/if the initial package arrives. I responded to their email thanking them for the amazing customer service and they responded AGAIN with a wonderful message. I have always been very pleased with Chewy.com's products and service, but this customer service was absolutely amazing!!!

When I started using Chewy they were good. Stuck to their word 2-3 day shipping and never really any problems. Now I have gotten damaged products. Open boxes. Longer deliveries too. They sent almost a week ago. Kitty treats they sent to me have taken almost two weeks to get here and still have not been delivered and now I have cancelled my last order over taking entirely too long to get my fur babies their food. Even more ridiculous almost a week to get my money back. Absolutely unacceptable. This place has really gone down hill with their company.

My Dog was diagnosed with a severe heart condition. I was using Chewy services prior to this. Upon diagnosis, Chewy.com claimed they could contact my vet, get the prescriptions and prescriptive pre cardio food prescription in a timely manner. Long and short of it, they never contacted my dogs vet for a few prescriptions which are crucial and detrimental to her life. My vet confirmed they never had a such requests. To top it, I cannot give her her meds without her cardio food.
Now, I was promised to have her food today... Only to find out FedEx will not deliver until January 6th.... This means I should starve her and not give her her heart meds that keep her alive. This company is a business... nothing less, nothing more. Negligent, careless, heartless, unethical to say the least. Terrible terrible company. Just another business in it for the dollar and full of malarkey when it comes to answering questions and following up. Will never use them again, and will let everyone I know to not use them.

I have always been very satisfied with Chewy until now. I ordered dog food for my puppy last week and was given a delivery date of 12/28. It did not come yesterday and when I called this morning the customer service rep was very uncaring and rude. Her supervisor was also very rude and unhelpful. I could not get a delivery date from them. They kept saying it should be here today but it really should have been here yesterday.

I've been using Chewy exclusively for over 3 years and EVERY time I speak with a rep, it's like talking to a friend. Their reps make the company shine, with awesome customer service and a total willingness to help in any way possible. Delivery is also top notch. We get heavy stuff like 40lb pails of litter, cases of canned food delivered right to the front door-instead of dealing with in-store or curbside pick up issues elsewhere. (Plus, It's bliss not having to haul it all from the garage up 2 flights of stairs). Really, start using Chewy and you'll see for yourself how great of a time saver it is to get EXACTLY what you want, for a great price, in a fast way and right to your door.

They do have an autoship option however I don't like using those type of services. Yesterday I found I mistakenly failed to order her food and she was down to approximately 2 more feedings. While at work I went on and ordered after 4 pm. I did not ask for a rush or anything however the following day FedEx delivered her food at 1030 am. I love their shipping.

Horrible experience again with Chewy. Placed an order, was 2 weeks late and never arrived. Was sent to the wrong part of the country and then to cover for themselves, Chewy removed my ability to even track the package. Wouldn't communicate they lost the package until I reached out twice. At which point they offered a refund. Waste of time to buy from them. Buy local or even at companies like Petco or better yet just buy from Amazon. Chewy is a bad brand.

I have never written a review for a company before, but also not sure I have ever been quite as impressed with a company's customer service, compassion and kindness as Chewy.com. Their customer service and quick reply to any issue is commendable, but it was the sensitivity and kindness they showed me when I told them that our beloved dog had passed away so I needed to cancel her medications,- not only did I receive what seemed like genuine heartfelt messages of sympathy, they sent flowers to our home?? What corporate company does that for any customer?

I have had pets a long time and started using Chewy from a postcard mailed to me when I moved to Florida in 2003. Customer is King! If you need assistance with site or help deciding on a product, call Customer Service. If there is an issue with an item received, call. A real person quickly answers the phone and you immediately know their name. Yesterday I had to call about receiving a wrong size of a doggie bed. I was able to get the right product being shipped to me already out the door today! I was told I could donate the wrong size bed. Since I had adopted Lucky only days ago, I already have it ready to give to the small rescue from which he came.
I complimented them on the other wonderful products I received, a crate that was easily assembled and the fabulous plush mat that goes inside the crate.

I have been ordering from Chewy.com for many years. The entire company, from ordering, to shipping, to customer service has never disappointed. I have switched my dogs' foods many times and have never had any issues with quality. Their shipping is the quickest I've ever seen as well (sometimes even faster than Amazon). If there has been any issue, such as ripped bags of food or damaged product, they are quick to reship out a new item at no cost. If I have ordered a product and needed to return, their response has almost always been to donate it and they will issue a refund. Their customer service representatives are always friendly and helpful as well.
To top off their amazing services and products, I checked my mail today to find a small package from Chewy. I knew I didn't order anything and was a bit weary. I opened it to find 2 wrapped squares in wrapping paper and when unwrapped were these two adorable painted portraits of 2 of my dogs. It came with a card thanking me for being a loyal customer. I have never had a company send me anything (without being purchased), let alone a personalized portrait of my 2 dogs (which could not be replicated as a stock photo). Even though almost all of my pet product purchases come from Chewy anyway, I will make sure to use them for all purposes.

Watch your auto ship carefully! 3 Chewy reps tell me the packages can be delivered on different days & it was suggested that I have a backup bag of cat food just in case. Sure didn’t mind hitting my bank account monthly for up to $200 a month though. Kitten dry, adult cat dry, 2 tubs of cat litter, huge bag of dog food & Feliway diffusers in last order. Yet I find the cat litter on my doorstep & informed other box will be here tomorrow. My animals’ health & wellbeing are a priority for me but not for chewy. Buying in bulk for the month failed dismally after only a few months.

This past year when the pandemic hit, it became hard to buy cat food in the stores and online. They frequently were out of the kind I needed to get or they had restrictions on the amount I could buy. At the same time, my 6-year-old cat was diagnosed with cancer. I needed to keep his weight up with his favorite kind of foods.
Enter Chewy.com to the rescue! I discovered that I could buy cases of my cat's favorite foods online and have them auto shipped at the frequency I chose. This was such a welcome relief. I could even go in and change quantities and advance shipments when I wanted to. During a really difficult time of caring for my cat and trying to preserve his quality of life and his health, I relied on Chewy.com to make the job easier. When Chewy.com learned that I had to say goodbye to my beloved pet, they were extravagantly kind and empathetic. I can't say enough good about this company. They are a true pet partner during your pet's life, and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Chewy!

Have been ordering from Chewy's for a couple of years. Lately it been a nightmare to deal with them. Something is wrong with the ordering system. They lose orders placed online. It's a constant problem that has lead me to believe somethings is wrong with this company. When I talk to customer service everyone tells you a different story for the failure to process the order. It has happened to me and friends. I will no longer order from them. Found Amazon is cheaper on pet supplies and quicker.

My roommate's puggle passed away recently after we had just bought it food from Chewy. When I called to ask about a refund they were like, "Absolutely. Just go ahead and donate the food and your card will be refunded." No run around, no attitude just acceptance and support. Plus they answer the phone when you call them and you don't have to deal with any automated garbage or being put on hold forever. The last thing still brings tears to my eyes. Someone yesterday knocked on the door and it was flowers. Who sent flowers? Well Kiara (I pray I am spelling that correctly) from Chewy.com saying again how sorry she was for our loss. Thank you Chewy.com for everything. There are no words to truly express how thankful I am to know there are some businesses who still get it.

My twelve year old cat Beau suddenly went blind last week and suffered neurological complications then sadly passed away Tuesday this week. I had made a large order for supplies with Chewy to help in caring for him a blind cat. After Beau's passing I decided the next day to return items not used. I call Chewy customer service and spoke to Siearrah. To my surprise she not only was so sympathetic and kind to authorize my return she told me not worry about it and just donate the items. I am planning to donate next week all the items to the same shelter I adopted Beau from. :)
If that alone was not awesome, yesterday I received a beautiful boutique of flowers with a lovely note from Siearrah. This is a amazing company that really cares about their customers furry and human.

Chewy could be a great deal if they could get their orders correct when shipping. I have ordered from them at least ten times and four out of the ten orders I received are missing items. When you call to inform Chewy the order was missing items, they do replace the items, but who wants to keep calling after you receive the order to inform them of the error? The last time I called, I received one of the two items I ordered was made to feel like I was lying. My expectation is that I receive the items I paid for. This company is very lax, with no oversight which makes it very frustrating for the customer. I can no longer order from Chewy the hassle is not worth it.

I want to be fair about this company. I have been ordering products, like food, toys, harnesses, etc. for both my dogs and my daughter's cat for a long time and have always had great service. However, for the first time, I tried ordering pharmaceuticals. My dog is diabetic and we just moved from one state to another. My old vet carried insulin and I was able to purchase whenever I needed with just a day's notice. I discovered in my new state, vets don't carry medication for sale.
I called everywhere (except Costco because it hadn't opened yet in my town) and none of the pharmacies, Walmart/Sam's Club/CVS, etc. did not carry insulin for dogs. I could only purchase online. I ordered with Chewy because they had the best price. At this point, I had about a week supply, so I thought that was plenty of time. Each day, I checked on my order and was told, it would ship tomorrow. 6 days later and it still has not shipped!! I am dangerously low now.
On the weekend, I called other Costco's and there was one in another town that had it in stock. I asked my vet to call in another prescription because I am about to run out and Chewy still hadn't shipped. Luckily, I got another bottle at that Costco. What is up with Chewy?? Don't they realize it's life or death if my dog doesn't get her insulin?? I did try to speak with a supervisor twice when I called, but each time placed on indefinite hold and finally hung up. They are great for other things, but if you need meds for your dog, I would suggest trying to be a month in advance because they obviously have no sense in the timeliness of important medication.

We were victims of one of the August 2020 fires on the West coast - losing everything we owned in a matter of minutes. We were suddenly out of a home, ending up in a hotel with our 3 dogs in a neighboring city. The dogs' flea and heartworm meds that we'd purchased months prior from Chewy.com were also lost in the fire. I had emailed Chewy.com telling them about the fire and the loss. They immediately said they would replace the meds free of charge - which by itself was a huge gesture of kindness! As promised, new meds for the dogs soon arrived at our hotel (and thank you Luke, Britnie and Carlos for your heartfelt messages!).
But wait - there's more... In addition to quickly sending out the replacement meds, Chewy also sent flowers to us with a kind note attached. That really touched us - brought us to tears to think that a corporation would do something that personalized and special. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. In a time when you're usually just a number to a big company, Chewy.com was really there for our pets, and us - so compassionate - and added those personalized touches that will make us loyal customers for life.

I used to be a big fan of Chewy but their service and customer service has plummeted over the past year or two. Recently they have sent many overpacked boxes, causing damage to the products, and then demand that I spend my own valuable time and resources RETURNING the ruined products to them before they will refund or replace! As if I work for them when I have PAID for these goods and have not received, they put conditions on KEEPING UP THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN by replacing the unusable product. Eventually they did replace the product but only after about six conversations up the supervisor chain. A ridiculous waste of time. And not even a $5 coupon for all the hours wasted on their mistake....
Repeat complaints do nothing, they do not appear to care about retaining customers anymore. Moved most of my orders to other retailers, only keeping Chewy for items that cannot be found elsewhere because PETCO now owns Chewy. Very sad and disappointing, another good company ruined by selling itself to the highest bidder.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. My cat was diagnosed with diabetes about a month ago and needed diabetic management food which is when I turned to Chewy.com...They were the cheapest!

Within 1 phone call the situation was solved and approval was received from my vet while I held for a few minutes. They even gave me a discount due to the delay.
About 3 weeks later my cat, Chunk, stopped eating for 2 days which is when we found out he had a large mass in his stomach, fluid in his abdomen and lymphoma. I called Chewy.com to cancel my autoship order since we had to send Chunk to heaven. This is where the 10 stars comes in...3 days later a beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered from them with condolences regarding Chunk.

After a couple days I called my vet and they had heard nothing. I called Chewy and they said they had faxed twice. They assured me they had my vets fax number and said they would try again. Few days later still nothing.
So I speak to Chewy again and they have me on the phone for nearly an hour and while I'm on hold, they get verbal approval from my vet for unlimited ordering. Finally! In the mean time, I have a sick dog who needs that food. So a couple days later I get a email telling me that my order would be cancelled due to no vet approval! So I call Chewy AGAIN and speak to a manager. I tell her all about it and she puts me in hold. (Each time I called about this order which looking at my phone history was 9 times within two weeks!) So this manager looks everything over and says she can tell by who all was involved with my previous call, that they had contacted my vet but never documented the approval! I am livid at this point. So she says, "This is clearly our fault. I am going to close this out and make sure you get this order sent to you, free of charge." I said thank you, this has been pretty ridiculous.
So at this point I have the fax number in front of me so I compare it with her and that's fine, so she says it will all be taken care of. A few days later I had an appointment with my vet so I just ask them while I am there about it but they STILL had received nothing! I ask them to just give me the written RX's figuring I will just upload them when I get home. When I get home and sign in, I find out that because the manager closed it out so they could comp me on it, I couldn't upload it. So I call them yet again. On the phone again forever and the guy I talked to got verbal approval AGAIN from my vet. I also found out that they did NOT have the correct fax number even after we compared numbers on one of my earlier calls.
So I explain to this guy my order was covered free per manager so-in-so (have her name) so he says he will now send it to those who take care of that. Said he would call me the next day to be sure it was straightened out. They all said that but no one ever called. So I finally get a email that my order shipped! I look at it and it's for one bag of dry food. No liver care food or her bag of treats. OMG! So yes, I call again. I am informed that this is all they are sending me free.

Call Chewy again because no notice of order sent, and was told there was no info for vet on file with this most recent order, (same vet for all prior orders) and no approval on file for the same dog that supposedly had approval on record on Friday (now it is Monday). Chewy pharmacy said they only had an order on file for the one dog that was denied initially July 19, nothing for the approved dog. July 19 until August ten, no progress. Not worth the effort.

We used to LOVE Chewy! We could find anything for a fraction of the costs! For nearly six month, Chewy has been out of all four types of dog food we bought. We would think it may be a distribution problem but WalMart and many others are carrying the products just fine and now their prices are the same as Chewy! Unfortunately, specialty animal supplies (guinea pig supplies, etc.) are about all we can use Chewy for. What used to be $300-$400 every other month is about $50/mo now. Disappointing.

I ordered medicine July 31st which was supposed to be arriving every 6 weeks with auto-ship. When tracking it was sitting in the pharmacy warehouse for 6 days with USPS saying they were waiting for a shipping label. They were already four weeks late with auto shipping when I called. The customer service rep on July 31 at was very rude when I called to inquire why it wasn’t auto shipped last month. Since their reps have been working out if their homes due to COVID it seems there is no monitoring their calls so they can be as rude as they want. I called again yesterday asking where are my dogs Eyedrops and this rep kept interrupting me passing the buck.

I purchased the 61” Frisco cat tree, I expected the quality to be better for the price. We had to puncture our own holes through the fabric of the condos for the screws to go through. Once we were more than halfway done building the tree, we realized that the square condo doesn’t align properly on the board. There were 2 vertical holes on the condo and 2 horizontal holes on the board. Unfortunately my condo can’t be aligned correctly like the picture..
I called customer service and they were more than willing to help. The rep asked if I wanted to return it and they’ll send out a replacement. I told her it was a hassle to take apart the tree and send it back and asked if I can just get a partial refund and I’ll try to drill the hole myself. The rep wanted to ask a supervisor if it’s possible to send out a replacement part but unfortunately they don’t have parts. She ended up just sending me a replacement tree and told me to keep my current one for parts or donate it.

Check your bill - I have been using Chewy for years and since my credit card renewed I had to update my information for my next shipment. To my surprise when I checked the price, it was higher that stated on the website. I checked previous orders and and not that the price varies but I noticed that they overcharge a little and it makes me mad that they take advantage of this and probably make $$ from this with all the people they rip off. Wish there was a better way to get this message out for people to beware of the advantage they are taking. Just a few bucks a month from their subscribers is a lot. THEY ARE BANDITS.

I contacted my vet to confirm that my dog had a complete exam on May 7. The vet requested that I sign a release since the vet was unable to do a heartworm blood test as the exam was conducted outside during COVID-19. I made another trip to the vet office and handled the paperwork as they requested.
Chewy.com said they still have not heard from the vet. I called my vet again and they confirmed that they had spoken to a pharmacist named Rick at the company. I even got Chewy.com on the phone, while having on another extension, the veterinarian’s office. Several company representatives said they would follow up and call me back. Never got the call and never got the product. I was left hanging and wasted almost a week. I finally ordered the product from another online vendor.

The day my husband and I had to put our beloved 18-year-old cat, Magellan, to sleep, we returned home, tear-stained and sniffling, to discover a huge box of his prescription food from Chewy sitting on our front porch. About $250 worth. The following day, I pulled myself together to call Chewy.com and find out if I could return the food. Not only was customer service representative empathetic, caring and helpful, she issued me a full return on the entire shipment, plus an additional return for a bag of food that we hadn't opened yet. When I asked how I should return everything to them, the customer service agent said that I could keep it all.
Keep in mind that this happened as the COVID pandemic was first peaking, so not having to go to the post office to mail large, heavy boxes was a relief. Even better, when I said I would like to donate the food, they encouraged me to do so. They literally donated $300 dollars of expensive prescription cat food to us and we passed it on, along with dozens of unopened cans for which we hadn't requested a refund, to the Pinellas Humane Society. The total donation was about $500 of both dry and canned food, and Chewy.com made most of that possible.
If this didn't sell you on ordering your pet products through Chewy.com, this will. A few days after Magellan's death, the Chewy's customer service representative sent us an incredible bouquet of flowers because of our tragic loss. I was without words and that doesn't occur often. I'd only recently begun ordering from Chewy.com, but now I'm a customer for life. The best part is that Chewy.com's prices are better than any of the big name pet stores I've visited, and they really do treat their clients like family. Thank you, Chewy.com. You and your team made a terrible day better for us and for the all the kitties at the Pinellas Humane Society. You are truly wonderful people...and I will never stop sharing this story of your incredible generosity and kindness. Cristy, Tampa, FL

Because our dog needs the med right away, when I got the emailed copy of the script, I contacted chewy to confirm their receipt. Customer service told me they couldn’t confirm and that someone from pharmacy had to and I’d get a callback.
Three days later after no word, I call again and now they tell me they don’t have the email/script and their ONLY solution is to rerequest it from the vet who won’t respond instantly and who knows how much longer this whole process will take?

I have been a customer of Chewy.com for many years now. They started off excellent and kept strong for a while. For the past year and especially recently they have declined from 4 stars to zero (0). The reason being is that most of the essential inventory items a pet owner needs to keep their pets healthy, such as food, vitamins, health and wellness products, prescriptions, etc. are always always out of stock. They do not have a clue on inventory management or inventory control. They let food products and vitamin products go down to a zero quantity level before, if at all, they replenish or restock their inventory. Then it takes months before they come back into inventory. This leaves the customer waiting and waiting and waiting and calling for weeks on end for essential items that are necessary to keep their beloved pets healthy.
Chewy has no understanding or conception of keeping a safety stock level of products on hand. When it starts getting down to that level, that is when they should start the process of reordering their inventory, not after a long while of it being zero quantity. They have no clue or concept of supplies or inventory. It is often said that when a company starts getting big, that their quality, integrity, responsibility, and reliability to the consumer go out the window, they just do not care anymore, and that is the story of chewy.com. As the owner of three dogs, my dogs would be dead if I left it to the devices of chewy also with chewy's lack of supply and inventory management or inventory control. Chewy.com is horrific, abysmal, appalling and dreadful. I would gladly pay four times as much for each item from a company that values a customer's business and the needs of their pets.

He was old and had been diagnosed with Liver cancer as well as suffering from arthritis. We knew this day was close but still were absolutely heartbroken to realize the only loving and compassionate thing was to let him go so we did. He was tired and I truly believe he was gone before the final injection. We miss him more than I can even begin to put into words.
I had received an order of prescription dog food from Chewy.com the day before and had not opened the packaging yet. My order had been a bit over $80.00 so I was hoping I could return it. Chewy.com said not to worry about returning the food and refunded not only that order but also the previous order from June!! I was stunned when I saw my banking the next day. I told Natalia at Chewy that I would donate the food to a shelter and found a rescue group that is also an old dog sanctuary that I will be donating the food to as well as various items of our sweet Foster. I was so impressed and had posted this experience to Facebook and had several friends mention that they were going to start ordering from Chewy after hearing about my experience.

I'm a bit shocked at some of the reviews I see here, but most of them pertain to prescriptions so maybe it's an issue with that specific department. I've had nothing but great experiences with this company, but my experiences were solely with ordering and receiving pet supplies (wet and dry cat food, cat litter, litter supplies). I've been using Chewy since last year, and I was very happy with their shipping services and auto-ship. I usually received my orders on the day promised, every once in a while a day later. Not a huge deal - I plan around that and always make sure I keep a couple extra cans of food on hand for delays.
Once the pandemic hit, Chewy was (understandably) overwhelmed by the influx of people looking to order as many supplies as they could online. This caused my normal auto-ship to be severely delayed. After about 2 weeks of no movement on my auto-ship, I decided it would better to just stock up on food at the grocery store. I emailed Chewy to ask that they cancel my pending auto-ship since I was unable to do so through the website.
It just so happens that the day a representative responded was the same day my order finally shipped. Since the rep couldn't stop it, they said they would refund me anyway and I was either welcome to keep it, or donate it to a local animal shelter if it wasn't needed. I was pleasantly surprised, and it was a wonderful gesture.
I stopped any future auto-ships once it was clear that the pandemic wasn't going to be resolved anytime soon, and it was just easier to stock up every other week when I went to get human groceries. However, now that things are semi-normalizing, I decided to try auto-ship again. I placed an order at 11:27am yesterday. It was at my front door my 11:02am this morning. 24-hour turn around time - amazing! Great company, great people. Give them a try - you won't be sorry!

In addition, I have tried numerous times to leave reviews lately, and their system gives me an "oops" error message (maybe because my review is not a 5-star one?). Also, when they pack shipments, they don't understand that a 50-lb box is not manageable because FedEx doesn't drop it off at the door but leaves on the stairs. I have a bad back, and need to drag this box all the way inside my house.

I personally think this is a shady business practice, and customer service has been unhelpful. Shame on Chewy for tying up people's money unnecessarily, especially during a pandemic. Never again!

After one month of using Chewy, here is why I'm opting to buy the same medication for $40 more from 1-800-Petmeds. My dog needs critical medication. I placed an order for rush delivery (May 1st). I get an email saying it will ship once they verify the prescription. Neat. A week goes by with 0 communication. I call the vet to see what the hold up is; they hadn't heard anything from Chewy. I called Chewy, and they said they couldn't contact the vet, and asked me for their info. A full week of silence for that. It took 10 days to get a critical medication (May 11th). I decide that if this is how it's going to be, I need to stock up. I place another order two weeks in advance next time (June 5th).
After a week (June 11th), it's lost in transit via USPS. While I normally wouldn't blame a shipper, the CS Rep told me verbatim, "huh,that's weird, we usually ship FedEx, I don't know why this went USPS". So, they put in a replacement order (June 12th) and put rush shipping on via FedEx. Neat....except...the medicine never shows. Instead, on June 15th, that replacement order is cancelled, and a new order is placed. No one I talked to could tell me why.
When I described my experience to the supervisor, he gave no concern whatsoever. I asked him to cancel every bit of business I had there (pending orders, autoship, etc) he goes, "ok, anything else you want?" Nah dude, I'm good....except, as I sit here, I still see pending orders, and that my autoship is still subscribed. Chewy has been such a bad experience that I'm going to pay $40 more just to have some competence elsewhere. If you don't mind waiting weeks for nothing to happen, then Chewy is the place to be.

We have been ordering from Chewy for the past 5 years. Today I realized that I had accidentally added 2 cases of pumpkin for my dogs food. When I realized it, it had already shipped. I emailed chewy and within an hour they had responded. They are reimbursing me the amount of the two cases of pumpkin ($76) and told me to donate it to the shelter instead of sending it back. It was a huge mistake on part and I wasn’t expecting how quickly it was fixed and the generosity of chewy. We love chewy and will always use them for our dogs, cat, ferrets, rabbit and snake needs.

I've been a customer of Chewy for years with no bad experiences. But recently I placed an order that never arrived. I have no mail box, so I use a PO box. For Chewy orders I put my physical address on one line and my PO box on another. Turns out Chewy now insists that it will not ship to a PO box. Seems okay, since they have my physical address, too, but no! I can't receive my Chewy order at all.
Chewy's warehouses are now all shipping with carriers like FedEx, so for items coming from a Chewy warehouse, a physical address works. BUT if your order is shipping from a manufacturer, and the manufacturer uses USPS, then you will not receive your package if you have a PO box because Chewy has taken it upon themselves to remove any PO Box information you put on your delivery address. Your physical address remains, but no PO Box info. When a manufacturer sends your order by USPS, which many do, the package cannot be delivered because the PO box information has been removed by Chewy.
I went around and around with my last order from Chewy, including having my order shipped again. I never received it, and more than one supervisor at Chewy has informed me that I cannot ever receive it. I can't help the fact that I don't have a mailbox, but now Chewy packages that come from a manufacturer and not the warehouse cannot be delivered.
This seems like a very easy thing to fix. Chewy should just leave your address the way you put it in and not delete anything. But there is no way to get the message to Chewy. Customer Service has nothing to do with shipping policies, and there is no way to reach anyone else. Looks like Amazon will be getting my orders from now on. So long, Chewy.

From DM in south western WI: Shout out to Chewy.com for its Customer Service. Just had a quick refund experience over the phone. They are sending me everything in my online cart without shipping costs, because it includes a replacement for my return item, even though I don't meet the minimum purchase amount requirement for free shipping. AND they don't want my return item back, they encouraged me to donate it to another pet owner or shelter. They even have a valid return reason as "pet destroyed the item." Their CS policies and training are fantastic.
Previously, I've used Chewy.com because its pricing is competitive for dog food, they have a large selection, it's easy to purchase prescription meds and they're MUCH cheaper than through the vet, and the convenience of having items shipped to my home. As much as I like the company, I never took the time to review it before but it is totally deserved to do it today. This was my first time returning anything to Chewy. The experience exceeded my expectations in every way. I didn't even have to wait on HOLD.

I had an autoship account with Chewy for a box of cat food to be sent once a month. I realized after a year or so that I had an excess, so I asked them to skip a month. Instead they sent an extra box. Every time I contacted them to try to get them to stop temporarily, they sent an extra box instead. I tried numerous times to cancel the autoship option altogether. Every communication resulted in another extra box. Last month when I complained AGAIN that they had sent another unwanted & unordered box, they sent a UPS label so I could return it, which I did. This month they sent another box. No matter what I say in my emails to them, THEY WILL NOT STOP. Something is seriously wrong with this company.

Jessica B. answered my email within the hour and said that they would credit my card for the food BUT... she did not even ask for me to have to hassle with the post office to send it back, she told me to go ahead and donate it to a shelter/rescue!!!

I have had an auto-ship order for dog food for a couple of months. Two months ago, my order arrived well short of what was supposed to be included, with no warning or note of explanation. This last month my order didn't arrive on time. After several days, I called Chewy's customer service, and after a 25 minute wait, listening to obnoxious "music" and a voice telling me every 60 seconds how important my call was, I was told that my order was being shipped the next day. Two days later I attempted to trace the shipment - it had not been shipped.
I called again, and after a similar wait, I was again told that it would ship the next day as missing items had just arrived. It did not ship the next day, nor any day after that. A week later, unwilling to waste more of my time, I sent Chewy a direct message on Twitter, which was answered with the information that my order was being held because it was incomplete. This was three weeks after the expected arrival date. I canceled the order. I can understand any company having problems with filling orders during this pandemic, but to lie to me twice about it, failing to inform me of difficulties they were having, is simply unacceptable. I won't be using them again for anything.

Waiting for Federal Express to pick up 2 boxes of food (50 pounds and 17 pounds) that were left on and in the street instead of being delivered up my driveway to the front door. Chewy advertises front door delivery and the labels are marked front door. A previous delivery was stolen because of being left in the street. Each time I call, the representative says I will hear back from a supervisor after they speak the Federal Express. I’ve never received a call. Now they can pay to have it shipped back and restocked. When it gets costly, maybe they’ll revise their policy and actually contact Federal Express. I will no longer purchase from them. A $1000+ a year customer is apparently not worth it to them.

I have always used Chewy for my pet food and supplies. Great company and great customer service. Decided to try the pharmacy, although I have great luck with 1-800-petmeds.com, due to the 20% coupon. I mailed my script to the address listed. I got an email saying it was approved and ready to go, please place your order (which was already placed). Few days later, I got an email saying they never got the script. I waited for them to get their act together and called them a bit later. No they don't have the script. (Now my dog is out of her medication). They say "we'll wait till it (the script) shows up. You live in N, and that is far from Kentucky, during this Covid situation". I say I have ordered and received other meds from PETMEDs and they are in Florida which is further than Kentucky.
"Can I fax you a copy of my original order to prove I have the prescription?" "No, it's against the law." "Well I didn't lose it and how am I going to find it? And who is this pharmacy tech that sent me my email that you got it?" We don't know, but wait and we will send the med when the script finally shows up." "But my dog needs it now, she is limping and I mailed it 5/11." So I cancelled the order, and got another script from my vet and will send to 1-800-PETMEDs who are completely with the program. Great customer service and never had a problem. Chewy is usually great, wait, give it time. The pharmacy might get better, just not now. Incidentally, I used them because of the 20% coupon, but it only allowed up to $30, so it wasn't even 30% off.

We spent 10-15 minutes on the phone getting all order together, then at the end she tells me that I would have to call before my next autoship to cancel off the flea and tick med. It was like, "What? Huh? We talked about this." I ended up canceling that flea and tick order and told her I would just order that one item online from them and be done with it. So I went online and ordered it; I get an email from them that they need my vet's info because the item needed to get a prescription for it, no problem.
A couple of days later I get a call form my vet's office telling me they can't fill this prescription because I had already gotten that type of product from them, which I had not; the flea and tick product I ordered that company that make it, also makes a heartworm med by the same name, and the idiots at Chewy when they called my vet's office, they did not specify flea and tick, so I ended up canceling all my business with chewy due to someone's incompetence.

Unfortunately the doctor that was assisting my order online wasn’t able to use my prescription card as they stated they would and it was up-to-date. They told me that they called my cats hospital and put some sort of reason they couldn’t find his name on file which I find strange because that’s the only hospital he ever got Cena and due to the COVID-19 I don’t believe there’s anyone really working in certain hospitals so they had to put my order on hold knowing my cat needs this food.
I was extremely disappointed that my order was put on hold. I had to call them and get my money refunded back to my credit card because chewy.com is inaccurate when they tell you, "Just upload your prescription card and we’ll send out your order sooner"! That’s ** okay because I got an email saying my order is put on hold and my cat has a diagnosis and needs his food ASAP!
Chewy disappointed me completely. Regardless just know there’s always a bigger process when you have to order with chewy online through their doctors. It’s never just that easy when you get to upload your prescription card. Now they had to call him verify with the doctors just to make sure and if the doctors not to be found or not around they placed your order on hold which I find that very unprofessional because now I have to do the dirty work and going to the actual store in which I didn’t want to due to COVID-19.

This is the fifth day I'm stuck waiting for my items to ship and my pup, Dakota, goes into surgery tomorrow morning.

When I asked if she would then call the bank on 3 way, she refused. Then, in a effort to resolve this I asked if there was a phone number with extension so that once I got the bank on the line they could then call straight in, also refused. Latonya couldn't have cared less that I incurred overdraft fees due to a Chewy error in double charging me. However, reading other reviews, it looks like Chewy is deliberately doing this! What? How is this not fraudulent... I agree the old Chewy is gone. I have a customer for years and I canceled my account today! Very disappointed.

I am a senior citizen with asthma and CFS. I ordered dog and cat food online because I don't want to go to the supermarket. AFTER the order was placed I was informed that shipping time is delayed 7-10 days. I believe I have enough supplies on hand to last that long but I would have appreciated being advised of this delay BEFORE placing the order. In any event after contacting them several times and pleading for help I decided to chance it and go to the store. I will NOT allow my animals to go hungry because of Chewy's poor service. Shame on them!

We have spent several thousand dollars with Chewy over the past several years, but after my last order I will never make another purchase from Chewy again and sadly will be filing a federal complaint. Like another reviewer mentioned last month, Chewy has started charging and debiting WAY MORE MONEY than what I spend for an order from my bank account - and not just a small amount, more like $200, for no apparent reason. However, our representative (after a 45 minute wait time) did not explain it as a warehouse thing like the other review. She said that they place an initial money hold of the total amount (which, in my case for this past order, $201), and then as the items ship from the different warehouses, they then start charging your card additionally for the items as they ship even AFTER placing a hold for the total amount. After your items have been delivered, they finally credit the initial hold back to your bank. This is NOT OKAY.
As of right now, my card has been charged over $390 for this same $201 order that I placed on Wednesday, April 1 (today is April 8 and the hold still has not been released). The Chewy rep actually said “I know it’s like so unprofessional of Chewy to do this, but we’ve always done it like this”. NO THEY HAVEN’T (they have always shipped from different warehouses, yes, but this initial hold with extra debits has never been noted in practice). If you dare to place an order with Chewy.com, make sure you have double the amount of your order available for them, and keep a VERY close eye on your payment source. Stay on them for your money back if this happens to you. THE OLD CHEWY IS GONE. They are seemingly stealing people’s money right in the middle of a global pandemic when we need it the most. This is the message that I wrote them:
I will never shop with Chewy again :( Very disappointed in the overcharging on my debit card. Placing a bank hold on the total amount and then making additional charges seems unethical for a company to do. I cannot trust a company that knows they could be overdrawing bank accounts and incurring overdraft fees on behalf of their customers during a PANDEMIC, and will not change this policy. Unacceptable and disgusting. Handwritten notes and flowers are all sweet and dandy until your money starts getting SNATCHED UP.

Had an aquarium pump die for my reef aquarium. Ordered from Chewy because I know there's a warehouse in our area and most people have told me their items come within a day or two. Seven days later my pump still didn't even ship, I had no contact from chewy saying there was an issue, or it was out of stock etc. Mean while my animals are dying off one at a time. I tried calling chewy but after an hour on hold I hung up. I sent an email explaining the situation but received no response. The next day I magically received notification my pump was shipped and would be delivered in one day. Worst customer service ever, lost about $1,000 worth of fish, coral, inverts waiting for their horrible service. The only plus is that they did finally send the pump so hopefully my losses will stop there.

I just need to give them a 5 star rating! Last week we placed our very 1st Chewy order ever. Due to the recent issues surrounding Covid 19, understandably their delivery times are very long. I went on to try and cancel earlier in the week as we had to go to a local retailer to get the food. The cancellation didn't go through in time and I received my order today. I emailed to return the dog food as we went with another brand.
I let them know we were keeping the treats, they emailed me to say I was getting a full refund and to give the food to a charity. This is AMAZING!! This is the BEST customer service I have seen in years!!! I will be dropping the food today to our SPCA and and overjoyed! I will definitely use and recommend Chewy.com to anyone. Thank goodness they also carry the brand of food we went with so I can continue to use them. So great to see in these hard times!! Thank you Chewy!!

Chewy is incredible! I Purchased an order from Chewy but before I received it unfortunately my fur baby had to be put down. I called chewy to let them know that she had been put down and asked if I could send the box back to them, if I was eligible for a refund. They asked me to donate the goods, if I thought that they were donatable and they would give me a full refund which they did very quickly I might add. Then today much to my surprise, I received a dozen long stem mixed colored roses from Chewy, telling me they are so sorry for my loss and that I they are there for me, if I need them in the future. Even if I need someone just to talk to and talk through my grief. Chewy is truly an exceptional company and they will be getting ALL my business from now on.

Shame on you Chewy!!!! They are not being honest. You should not be on this business, you have zero empathy and everyone is so dishonest. I have a dog with heart condition, I ordered his medicine a week ago. Still have not been shipped. If they told me the truth, maybe I would not be so upset. First they told me that they were waiting for my clinic's approval. Even my clinic sent couple of faxes and emails (I was cc’ed too), they were keep telling me that they did not receive it.
Finally they got it after 7 days. Now they do not know when the item will be shipped. They do not give me a time frame. I have sent so many emails, even social media messages to get attention. Nothing worked. To speak with someone, you need to hold min 45 minutes. Then do not get surprised if you get disconnected in the middle of your conversation. Of course, nobody will call you back. As a pet owner, I would recommend you to order from other online companies whose policies are more transparent and genuinely care about our loved ones. They do not care!!!! Shame on you Chewy!

I understand that this company is probably dealing with an exceptional excess of service due to the Covid-19. However, I do feel that each customer should not have to go through with what I had to go through to attempt to place an order for my dog's meds. I placed an order which needed to be modified due to the fact he recently gained some weight and needed a different dosage. This sounds simple, but several hours were wasted trying to change the dosage of the meds. There was such a major lack of communication within the company, that I ended up cancelling the order and moving forward with a different on-line pet medication company. So disappointed with a company I once loved.

I ordered some prescription pet food from Chewy at the prodding of my vet. I had to add extra things to my cart to get over the minimum for free shipping. After a week, my vet still hadn't received an authorization fax. I contacted Chewy and they said they would send again. My vet still didn't receive the fax and Chewy removed the pet food from my order and began processing the rest of the order. No one from Chewy contacted me to ask or to let me know, they just removed the food (the one thing that I actually needed) without a word.
I contacted them and was told it was too late to cancel my order, but that they would have Fedex turn around and refund my payment in 3-5 business days. I feel like they should have made sure the fax to the vet went through and maybe even followed up rather than me having to play phone tag with them and the vet and I certainly should have been notified if they were cancelling the main part of my order and asked whether I wanted the extra stuff. I will not be ordering from them in the future.

So now instead of $26 Worth of food, it's costing me about $50. This all could of been avoided by packing the products better, because we know the carrier services dont treat packages nicely.

I called and they sent me a return label right away. The representative could not have been nicer. Chewy received my products back on Jan 29. I used PayPal to purchase. The instructions clearly stated that credit would be issued as soon as the items were received in their warehouse. After 6 weeks I finally called to see where my credit was, and was informed that they could release the refund to me. Why had they not already done it? Because they don't release the credit until you call looking for it! How many people are not paying close attention and not receiving their refunds? This is a very poor policy. The representatives could not be nicer, but I will not do business with them again.

On February 27, 2020, I called Chewy.com to cancel my monthly prescription for my dog's medications. Camila, the customer service representative asked me why and I told her because I had to put my dog down after she was attacked by two dogs. The representative asked me what happened. I thought that she was not genuinely concerned but I replied to her question anyway. I also asked Camilla how I could return a package of reusable diapers that I purchased for my dog for a refund. Camila, listened as I tearfully enacted the story and offered her sincere condolences. She also told me that I could donate the diapers and that she would credit my bank account for the purchase.
After hearing this information, I thought what wonderful customer service. As promised, I received a full refund for the diapers can. On March 4, 2020 to my surprise, I received flowers from Camilla/Chewy.com with a note acknowledging my loss. I have never had a company show so much concern for a customer. My rating for Chewy's customer service went from good to excellent. I highly recommend the purchase of your dog's supplies and prescriptions from this company. The prescription prices are lower than what you would pay at a vet's office and the medication is shipped directly to your door. Their customer service is terrific. Doesn't get any better than this!

I have been a Chewy customer for over three years and other than a few minor issues, I've never had a problem with them until the last two months. Two months ago they started charging me over a hundred dollars for a deposit in addition to my monthly orders. Was never notified of any changes and when I contact them they claim it's because my stuff comes from different warehouses. My stuff has always come from different warehouses and has never been a problem before. They do put the money back into my account when within two to three business days after my order arrives but I'm on disability and my budget is limited. This extra money is causing overdraft fees at my bank and late fees on my rent and other bills. Have cancelled my account and will have to find another pet store to order from.

Just the other day I reviewed a particular toy that I've gotten on numerous occasions. This toy didn't live up to its normal life expectations- the rope was pulled out of the rubber ball in one day. I didn't ask for a replacement, but I'd say within 3-4 days of writing the review, Chewy simply sent me another of the same toy. It was such a pleasant surprise! Not many companies will do that without having you calling and badgering for a replacement or a refund. I've called customer service on several other occasions regarding auto-shipments or products and they pick up immediately, they're based out of The States, and they solve my issue immediately. Another thing is that if you are really not happy with the product, they refund you your money and just ask that you take the product to a local shelter instead of returning. I think that's such a nice philosophy. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chewy.com. If I could rate them 6 out of 5 stars, I would! Highly recommend.

1st order on Chewy.com and it was the biggest headache. Placed order on a Thursday. Had it delivered to my work, they "attempted" to make delivery Sat and Sun (Obviously closed). I just figured they would deliver on Monday like any other delivery that was scheduled over the weekend for an office. Monday came and just about went before I decided to check the tracking of this package. Tracking page showed "Delayed" as carrier had "Attempted" and was unsuccessful. Not sure how they weren't able to deliver as it's an office and there is always some one here. I called Chewy and spoke to a very friendly customer service rep and she assured me that they would get a manager in touch with FedEx and let them know it's a business and someone will call me before the delivery is actually made. Tuesday, no call from anyone, checked tracking number again and stated that attempt was unsuccessful AGAIN!
Got Chewy people on the phone for a second time, and (I wasn't as lucky to speak with someone nice) she pretty much told me the same this other lady had the day before. But was Zero help and suggested I just call FedEx myself. Which I did and they had no communication for anyone at Chewy about delivery details or a phone number to call before delivery was attempted again. So this tells me Chewy made no attempts to make sure my package was actually delivered. They got my money and that's all they seemed to care about. We'll see if my package ever comes. I asked about just getting a refund at this point and Chewy lady said they would need the package delivered back to them 1st. (Which makes sense.) But if it's lost in FedEx land who knows if I will even get that. I've never had so much trouble getting a package. I hope I didn't waste $120 bucks. I will not be shopping at this company any longer.
