BJ's tricky advertisement for $15.00 to have a membership one time, once they have your $, you don't qualify. I wasted my time yesterday subscribing and they stole my $ too. I'll sue them for being thieves.

I do most of my shopping at BJ's. Bulk shopping makes sense. Yesterday I was in Stop and Shop. I like bulk shopping especially with meats and poultry since I clean everything when it comes to fat and skin before freezing, and because I do have an upright freezer. I read the other reviews and one in particular caught my attention. The person mentioned an issue with his/her ebt cards and something about online shopping. If a retailer accepts this card for payment, the card can only be used to purchase food for human consumption (yes unfortunately that might even be candy) so that omits everything else including convenience fees.
I find that it is best to be selective because many times companies choose to wholesale things like electronics that are already obsolete, or about to be obsolete with the speed that electronics and other household essentials like appliances become obsolete so I stick to food and other household essentials like paper and cleaning products when it comes to shopping at BJS. Yesterday for example I wanted chicken breasts. What I found in stop and shop was a very small package that should have said chicken cutlets because that is how thin you could see the meat was. The price tag was a little under $18.00. I went to BJS and got a package containing 8 Perdue chicken breasts and paid a little more than $22.00

I purchased tires from the BJ's located at 7260 Bell Creek Road, Mechanicsville, VA a couple of years ago. I had problems recently with the valve stems on the wheels. The problem was corrected at an independent auto repair facility which I paid out of pocket. I wrote a letter to BJ's customer service headquarters in Marlborough, MA. In about a week's time, I received calls from customer service HQ as well as from the local BJ's manager. My out of pocket costs were refunded. I would say that this was GREAT customer service response. Thank You BJ's.

BJ's in Commack has horrible customer service. I get a renewal for $15.00. They won't accept it so I agreed on $20. My original sign up with them was on 7/31/2022 I believe. The day I renewed it was 9/30/2025. I called them up when I got home and my expiration for the year says 7/31/22. I said I just paid you for a yearly renewal. They said we can give you $5. I said no i want the year, they agreed and said ok it will expire on 9/30/25. I sign on a few days later, call them and it's still set for 7/31/22. They said oh we can't change that. I said great This company is such a rip-off with poor customer service and a bunch of liars. People check your expiration dates when you renew. I can't be the only one this is happening to.

I checked my account today and BJ automatically went in and charged my account for renewal. I have a had my membership since 1998 and I have never, ever signed up for auto renewal. I always went into the store once I got the renewal notification. My membership renewal is $120 but they charged my $155. They never offered a reason why this happened, just said they put in the refund request. I am going to try Costco's now as they seem that they put that on my account. I am wondering if anyone else had this happen.

Online purchase of outdoor furniture has become a nightmare. Delivered late, and damaged. Packaging said contact manufacturer for replacement and never heard back. In store customer service gave me 800# because I bought online. First person I spoke to offered me a credit and I accepted it. Waited 3 months for it and never appeared. The second reps were unhelpful and rude and believed I returned the item, which I did not! Canceled my membership.

BJ's will do everything they can to prevent a purchased item from being returned. I am severely disabled and purchased a new HP laptop to replace a 5 year old Lenovo still working but with a shot battery. If I wasn't so disabled I would have taken the Lenovo for replacement of battery. It certainly would have been easier and less expensive. The new computer does not turn on. Bjs will only email me a label which i cannot print because there is no room on my desk that sits side by side with my bedside, or I'd have one. They refuse to mail me a label or even instructions on where to return it so I could ask someone to do me a favor.
The Club store is very difficult to get to and that is far more than a favor to ask for. And once they get it back I have been advised it could take a month to get a refund even though it took them one day to get their money. Buyer Beware: Do not make a major purchase online with BJ's. They simply are not trust worthy and definitely believe they do not need to show anything but a desire to get your money. I was a huge fan of theirs for years. Dealing with the warehouse and internet services are diametrically opposite experiences.

This is the most frustrating store I have ever been in! I’ll be going back to Sam’s club. ASAP! Since I’ve been a member, I have gotten home and checked my receipt to realize that I did not get sale prices. The last time I went in there, I scanned the things as I was shopping, but it kept signing me out and I had to keep getting another code from my email. I had one coupon clipped for $2.50 off and the associate couldn’t figure it out either and I got frustrated and just let them have my $2.50. I’ll be returning it tomorrow! NEVER AGAIN!

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction regarding an order placed on August 23, 2025, for a Nintendo Switch 2 System (item cost $534.99) as a gift for my son. Upon arrival, the box, which had BJ's red tape, contained only a can instead of the ordered item. I immediately contacted your customer service and spent over 30 minutes on the phone explaining the situation and emailing pictures. I was informed that I would receive a response within three business days. However, within 24 hours, I received an email instructing me to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I am deeply concerned about why I am being told to involve my credit card company when this issue originated with an order placed directly with BJ's.
This situation has forced me to initiate a dispute with my credit card company, meaning I now have to wait up to 90 days to potentially receive my money back, while BJ's has retained both the product and my payment. I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly and provide a satisfactory resolution immediately, rather than placing the burden on me to recover my funds through a credit card dispute.

I am deeply disappointed with BJ's. I shop at the Warrington BJs and have for years. Last week I was delivered or picked up bad watermelon 2 of them. Today I cut my watermelon and there is mold inside. I brought it to their attention the first time. This time I had to share because if an older person or someone with bad vision eats one of these because they can't tell it is rotten, they will get sick. Not right.

I tried to use my EBT card for same-day delivery online, and BJ’s locked my transaction and refused to process my payment. This was the same card I’ve used before without any issues. Instead of resolving the problem, BJ’s left me with no explanation and no way to get the groceries I needed. What makes this worse is that BJ’s claims this is “protection” for customers, yet when my funds were actually stolen in the past, there was no protection at all. Where was the security then? I will NEVER purchase another BJ’s membership after this experience. If BJ’s advertises that they accept EBT online, they need to make sure their systems work and their staff are trained to support customers instead of shutting them out.

I love BJs. I do recommend BJs to others but buyers beware stay away from the AT&T representative inside the BJs store. However AT&T is in your Villages store ripping off your customers. The AT&T representative stopped me and told me if I renewed my service with them my bill would drop down to $67.76. They lied. My bill is $106.67. When I called them multiple times and asked them about it they told me it’s a glitch in their system that is accidentally doubling the trade in phone credit and that there is nothing they can do to help me. They are not honoring what they are selling to the BJs customers. I spoke to several managers and got no satisfactory results. I will not be renewing with them again after this contract is over. Just wanted to let you know that they are doing this to your BJs customers.

I was told by a manager as long as the doors are open, there will be a cashier on duty. I don’t work for BJ’s and I pay a membership to shop there. It has happened several times before, no cashier open. The internal problem should be resolved immediately. Everyone don’t use self-checkout. I don’t like leaving the store without the items I chose and I don’t think the employees like putting them back in the freezer/cooler/shelf.

2 coupons were clipped from the app from my phone as my daughter was shopping while I was home. 1 coupon was honored, the other was not. My daughter is a member under my membership. She went to customer service to resolve the issue. She was told that she had to have the app on her phone to resolve it. So, she downloaded the app. Then, she was told that in order for the coupon to have been honored she would've had to use my membership number. What?! If this was the case, why was the other coupon honored and every other couponed prior when she's used her membership card when I've clipped coupons from home previously?! Furthermore, you had her go through the trouble of downloading the app just to tell her this?! Yes, I'm posting a negative review because if you don't know why this happened, you need to say so... period!!

Opted out of auto renewal and BJs just turns it on again without your permission. I use this account for bill payments and only keep in there what I need to pay them. As well I was given a Veterans discount when I joined but they charged regular price for the renewal. They as well keep the employees that could possibly help with the issue at hand insulated from the members so as to avoid making refunds of stolen money in a timely manner.

I ordered contact lenses in May. I never received them. The package tracker tells me every day they will be delivered TODAY. Customer service is a joke. They will not let you speak to anyone who can actually help you. It is "escalated" and the response is generic and unhelpful. Nothing is resolved and I am out 300 dollars at this point. I am beyond livid at the way they hide from concerns they create. I will never use BJs for services again and I will not renew my membership.

On May 6th 2025 at 11am while visiting Watching NJ Bj's entrance turned into parking lot and hit pothole that burst my front driver side. Parked car into handicap space. As us got out saw tire was flat, had not begun shopping yet. Went directly to customer service desk. Ask for manager. I got day supervisor instead. I told her what happened she didn't ask surprised. Said someone will take look at tire. After about 1 hr back-and forth, manager "came out and said to me I looked at camera and said I drove in like that...he lied! I said, "Show me." He couldn't find my car on camera. I submitted a signed written claim. He said someone will get in touch with me. I waited a few weeks. Got email from insurance company Sedgwick 1 month later. That said Retailers will get in touch with me. My car when damaged was 2 week old 2025 so I purchased a new tire after all this car is new.
Until this date nothing, no contact from bj's 3 months later corresponding back and forth to obtain response. My question who else got car damaged on May 6 pot hole in that parking lot? I will never buy there again nor recommend this company to others. I was a customer renewal for at least 10 years! Manager on duty that day actually called me a liar, what a insult. He said he saw me drive into parking lot flat on camera. I said show me camera. I didn't see my car nor did he no proof! All this took 2 hrs and 3 months and counting to date Bj's has not taken responsibility for pot holes and property damages. Park at your own risk in bj's. It might cost you $300 or more out of pocket, again drive very carefully in that lot!

My experience with Bj was terrible, purchased a 50 inch Roku Television, price was unbeatable, well it didn’t last 24 hours after I brought it home, My mistake was throwing away the box, but not aware that it couldn’t be replaced, I have my receipt, and placed it from my credit card, but they said without the box nothing could be done..

Review Title: Serious Concerns About Chicken Quality – Please Investigate. I’m a regular BJ’s customer and I usually shop every weekend. However, I’ve had repeated issues with the chicken products, particularly the bags of chicken breasts and wings, and I feel it's important to bring this to your attention. A few weeks ago, I bought chicken wings that were completely black and spoiled. Then I bought chicken breasts that looked yellow, and once thawed, they had a strong, rotten smell.
Most recently, I gave the chicken another chance and bought two new packs of chicken breasts — both packs were infested with worms upon opening. This is unacceptable and incredibly disturbing. I have photos of the products and can provide proof of purchase if needed. As a loyal member, I’m very disappointed and concerned. I don’t know if this is an isolated issue or if others are experiencing the same, but this has happened too many times now. Please look into your poultry suppliers and storage process. Food safety should be your top priority, and as a customer, I deserve better than this.

My Mother-in-Law was a longtime member but was too infirm to shop there the last few years. Her account auto-renewed to her credit card. We just moved her out of State to be near us and attempted to cancel her membership. BJ's absolutely refused to cancel her membership unless she physically walked into the store to cancel the membership in person. So, fair warning if your thinking of joining. My wife was finally successful after multiple phone calls, escalating to higher ups, and pulling the Power of Attorney card. Good riddance.

Bought a patio set that had to be assembled. It was not what I expected as to quality. Chairs wobble because they are supposed to rock. After purchase I stopped and sat in their display and the chairs were the same. You almost think you are going to fall over or backward when sitting in them. Then within two weeks they reduced the price of set by $200 obviously because of poor quality. They knew I couldn't return the item because it was no longer in a box and in original condition. But would not even make a price adjustment.

This company by far has the most deplorable level of customer service I’ve ever seen in my entire lifetime. They never actually solve a problem.

I WOULD LIKE CORPORATE TO REACH OUT TO ME DIRECTLY. Today is my 2nd online order for delivery (in total, aw), and I've noticed what I consider to be a sneaky little fraud going on with the system and the tips. The 1st time I HAD THE DRIVER steal all my meat and snacks, sped away before I could get her attention. I complain and nothing but a refund for my missing items. Not only that I notice the system wanted to give the driver almost $50.00 tip, I changed to $30, or so something. I see the next page after confirming it said 50.00 again! I couldn't even stop the tip or get that refunded, guess surveillance isn't handy anymore.
Today, I gave a tip $15.00... The zero and the nine are at opposite ends of my keyboard, so this was no mistake. It happened again, but this time, though my card was charged the correct amount, the system changed the driver's tip. WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?? The first time I thought, ok maybe it was my mistake with the tip. But, to happen again, the 2nd time I ordered from BJ's is highly suspicious and I'm sure not legal.

Prices posted are sometimes incorrect. Items will ring up and scan at a higher price. Very deceitful, and it has happened to me several times. I have brought it to the store's attention, and their attitude is nonchalant. So many people who have not noticed have gotten taken. Compare prices on the app to actual posted prices - some of them will surprise you with the differences.

I was charged for a membership and I don't even live in an area where there is a BJ's. I called while my charge was pending on my account and was told that they couldn't do anything about it because they couldn't see it on their end. No way to look at "new Memberships". I find that hard to believe. In any case I got an email saying they could not issue the $60 refund and I had to do the work and cancel my debit card, have it reissued and anything that is an auto-payment on this card I have to go and update my payment info. I just did that when my name changed and it was a nightmare. Since I was headed out of town I decided that I should wait so I would still have access to my funds. Lo and behold, there was another $20.00 charge today. I called the bank and for now I am locking my card until I get back in town.

Today me and wife went to BJs store in Norfolk, VA. While we were at parking lot and was about to enter to the store we couldn’t find any available cart. We would like to buy more items but we decided to buy just six bottle of AÇAÍ Juice because we cannot carry large items without a cart. When we were at the register and my wife was paying the items that we bought I saw a cart from the close register that no one is using it. I asked the cashier if I can take that cart because the six bottles of AÇAÍ are heavy for me to carry and those bottles were too cold to hold. However the cashier didn’t grant our request and didn’t care about the items even she knows those are heavy to carry. She said that she need the cart but when we were on the line waiting our turn to pay those items she‘s not even using it. She only said that she need it when I asked for it.
I’m 62 years old and my wife is 61 so it’s hard for us to carry more than one items without a cart especially 6 bottles of Juice. Now I know why BJs doesn’t have a lot of customers because of the way they treat people like me. I will never use this store again. Costco is a way way better than BJs. From customer service to the cash register employees Costco is the best.

Never really had too much to complain about with BJs until today. Went through the typical waiting in line for 30 minutes because they never really have more than 1 live cashier in the building. When I select to pay with my Capital One BJ's card I was pleased to see that I had 60.00 in rewards to use. I of course selected "Yes I would like to use my rewards." Much to my chagrin the light of the self-serve kiosk immediately started to blink and was notified to wait for a team member for assistance. This is when I learned that BJs had changed their policy for using earned rewards. I was told that they needed to have manager check my ID and approve the use of my earned rewards.
The representative stated that only a manager is allowed to approve the transaction. I was then informed that the manager was not available and that if I wanted to use my rewards I would need to wait for the manager to return from the parking lot. It would be about twenty minutes, but if I wanted to I could proceed without using my earned rewards. I use my Capital One BJ's Mastercard for all of my purchases specifically for the rewards it offers. Now BJs has made it a hassle to use your rewards once earned. I think I am done with BJs and will be taking my business elsewhere.

This is for BJ's home delivery service that costs an extra $50 on top of the regular membership cost. BJs will say that they are giving you a refund for an item you didn't receive, but in reality they are planning on you to forget that you requested one. It is at least a 2 call minimum to actually receive your refund. I will not pay for that service again, as the instacart shoppers pick the worst of the fruits and vegetables. Never again.

My wife and I both have BJ’s cards. Different numbers on each card but both for the same account. Recently BJ’s had a coupon to clip – offered $10 off with a $100 purchase. I clipped the coupon but BJ’s would not honor it despite my $100 purchase. I contacted customer service – this was their answer: “The purchase was made by the household member, but the coupon was only for the primary member. "$ off any purchase of $x or more" type offers are generally targeted to a specific member and not shared.” I pointed out that there was nothing on their website stating this and that the coupon was not from a publication directed to a specific member. Altogether a very bad experience. I don’t like to be cheated and that’s what I feel about this situation.

One of the employees goes “well if we broke it why isn’t the glass still laying there on the ground”. I said “well if you do something would you leave evidence.” She agreed with what I said, then the manager began to say to me “well you can talk to the store insurance but I’m letting you know now they’re NOT going to pay for it either”. I said to her, "Well that’s not nice…" First they should investigate and look at all cameras before stating that no one will pay for my taillight.
But that’s not all. They were so unprofessional in the entire situation from employees to management. They were literally jumping on me and not accepting the fact that maybe it could have been one of their employees that damaged my car. The manager wouldn’t even take it into consideration. She just continued to say they had nothing to do with it without even checking the cameras first. I mean I really felt so bad after going home this evening and just really set and thought about how BJ’s treated me was the most horrible experience I have ever had in any shopping store. *WARNING!!!! DON'T SHOP AT BJ’S!!! COSTCO IS WAY BETTER WITH PRICE AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I AM COMPLETELY DONE WITH BJ’S. I only gave one star because it wouldn’t allow me to submit with no stars.

I recently moved to PA, which has a BJ's store nearby, I thought that the idea of paying a yearly membership would give access to the lowest prices. However, 1) they are not the lowest prices in the area, especially if one of the locals has a sale, and 2) They require that you clip coupons....? What's the sense that you have to clip coupons on their site? Isn't the membership enough for them to give you the lowest price? Load these coupons automatically! I clipped 260 coupons to assure that I got the prices they advertise but never give you, if you do not pay attention. Overall they force you to buy mass quantities of goods that you may never use. Food waste is a serious problem in the world, and these practices are forcing you to get pounds of produce or meat, that will go bad unless you are feeding an army. The dates are not extended because you buy mass quantities, and if you buy frozen anywhere else, the difference is negligible.

When the Lavergne, TN store opened in 2023, memberships were sold prior to the opening. Sales agents misrepresented the store and did NOT answer questions honestly. Prices are UP TO 25% off retail grocery stores - this means SOME prices are lower, but most often about the same, and sometimes even more. I was personally told they carried the ALL the same brands as Kroger which was a lie - they carry SOME of the same brands. BUT BE ESPECIALLY WARY OF ONLINE ORDERS!!! I did an online order for pickup. I WAS CHARGED A HIGHER SALES TAX RATE THAN WHAT WAS ALLOWED! Sales tax for Lavergne, TN is .0975 and I was charged .1122.
Also, they put a 15% upcharge fee on my credit card ABOVE what was on my order form total at ‘submit’ time. You are notified of the upcharge when you hit submit. This additional fee was charged in case there was a substitution made for the one item I purchased. It took 6 days after the item was picked up for that additional pending charge to drop off my credit card since no substitution was made. THIS IS JUST WRONG! I will never do an online order again.

When you return an item at BJ’s, it takes 5 to 7 business days (10 calendar days) before your money is back in your account. This also applies when your item is canceled by BJ’s, which was my case. Additionally, when purchasing the item I was charged an extra $50 because of a substitution charge that BJ’s very deceptively slips into customer transactions. I checked before I purchased the item and there were four of the items in stock yet BJ’s still charges a significant substitution fee. If you buy something really expensive and use your bank account, you will be out the cash for 10 calendar days.
Imagine if you are a senior and you are on a fixed income or just struggling in this economy. I don’t know how they get away with this in this day and age but clearly every buyer MUST BE AWARE at BJ’s in Stoneham Massachusetts and BJ’s everywhere!

I met the terms of the promotion and never received my rewards. I called BJs customer service and spoke to several reps.

I have since joined Sam’s and will readily and happily renew anytime with Sam’s and/or Costco.

I asked for a supervisor and did receive one, but he had his own agenda and although I provided him with my conversations with ATI, he needed to get back to me. That never happened.
I sent BJ's an email on 9/22/23 and have not heard back. I called again on 9/24/23 and requested a supervisor and that supervisor told me there was no one else I could speak with regarding my frustration and concern. I decided that I would not renew my subscription to BJ's after this year ended and ordered a TV at Costco. It was $50 less and will arrive on or before 10/4/23. I have waited this long what the heck!
On 9/25/23 the new transportation company called, and the TV was now in Columbus Ohio and it would be approximately another 7-10 days. My husband told them to send the TV back to BJ's and cancel the order. I received an email from BJ's indicating that the order was cancelled and when the TV arrives, I need to return it to BJ's in order to process the return. Well, I had one more call to the customer service center this morning because this is totally unacceptable. I asked to speak to a manager above the supervisor and was told by the supervisor that he could not do that because they only communicate through email. Greatest gate keeping method I have ever heard. BJ's has false advertising for delivery. Their Code of Conduct is online which I read, and it needs revision. They have an Ethics Hotline 866-213-5051 if anyone is interested. The email to the ethics hotline is bjs.alertline.com. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ON MANY LEVELS BJ'S.

I believe that the BJ's coupons is a source of discrimination. If you do not show the coupon they do not give you the discount. If you have to show that you are a member should be enough to get automatic discount (as in Costco). I believe is discrimination, because older people do not remember if saw a coupon, because there are many and the cashier do not help telling them.

I work for a non profit and they have discounted BJ's memberships for staff. Almost 50%off. I renew through my work every year. My husband went to BJs in Franklin, MA on Sunday. The checkout person would not let him check out unless he paid the 110.00 renewal fee, even though our membership does not expire until 10/31. He called me after checking out and I asked him to get a refund because we renew through my work and before it expires. They refused and told him we had to call customer service. Tried 3x total of 3 hrs on the phone with 3 people telling us they can't do it, only the location that charged us can. Franklin says they can't.
On top of this, my BJs MasterCard was charged 110.00 renewal charge which I never authorized. Called Capital One who connected me with BJs customer service who were very confused and not understanding. Not sure if it is intentional so anyone looking for refunds just hang up in frustration but it does sound like it. The first person just hung up on me. I called back and the second person said they can't refund me and hung up on me.
So far I'm out of 220.00 and BJs won't do anything about the charges. My renewal application is being processed and I'll be charged another 55.00 before 3/31. If this is not enough, I've been calling BJs since 7/2022 about my 90.00 rewards that I had from using my BJs credit card. Every time I called (every month through December), BJs said over and over they were doing a system update and the rewards would show by the end of the month. They never did and still don't show up.
So now I'm out $365.00. Seems pretty predatory at this point. If anyone else has experienced this, or if you know who to contact to file a complaint, please let me know. I never publically post complaints about a business but you get nowhere with customer service and they are less than helpful and extremely rude.

I was amassed that this is the attitude of the manager and I said I'm not cancelling my membership and I need to know what will be your response to this situation. They told me we will update you very soon, But later I discovered that my membership was cancelled upon my request and the refund was not even processed.

Despite that they said the card could not be used to the next billing cycle they had allowed the fraudster to do it. Not only that, they accepted charges from the fraudster for $11,000 OVER the credit limit. I called their fraud department. It took 40 minutes to get connected. They did not email me a confirmation of the fraud report. Three days later the account is still not fixed. I tried to call and was on hold for 54 minutes.

I will never, ever order anything from BJ's Wholesale online. This was my first and last order with them. I've been shopping online for decades, thousands of orders, and I've only met one other vendor that is this inept, and incompetent. Note that the other company went out of business shortly after my bad experience with them. Back to the case at hand: I ordered 20 cases Fairlife Nutrition Plan High Protein Chocolate Shake, 12 pk., Item: 206827 on May 3, 2022. The 12 packs were 17.49 each, for a total order cost of $349.80 including shipping. The order stated that the delivery option was "Shipping 2 Business Days"... The order FINALLY arrived on May 18th... Do the math on that one: 5/3/2022 plus two business days = 5/18/2022? Apparently it does to BJ's Wholesale online order system.
They shipped the order from Florida via AIT Logistics shipping. I need to write another separate review of them. The thing to note here is that you have to schedule a delivery time, with a window of about 4 hours, on a weekday. I guess they figure every household has someone at home who doesn't work every weekday, or at least not during daylight hours? Sam's Club doesn't do this. Walmart doesn't do this. Amazon doesn't do this. So why does BJ's wholesale have this as the only option if you order from them?
When the order *did* arrive, only 14 of the 20 packs arrived. Note that the only paperwork that AIT had said "Quantity: 1" on it. So they wouldn't even know how many total individual units were to be delivered! So I email BJ's Customer service and explain the problem... After a few back and forth emails, they say they'll issue a refund for the 6 packs that were not delivered. Fast forward to today, 5/25/2022 I get a refund for $79.80. Mind you that each pack costs $17.49, and six were not delivered. If you do the math, $17.49 X 6 is $104.94. I'm still waiting for them to explain their math to me - they still owe me $25.14. Why the So over *three weeks after placing my order*: I only got 70% of my order. I only got ~80% of the refund amount. Unacceptable. Name one thing they've done right on this entire order process!
Luckily I placed the order through PayPal. I'm disputing the refund amount through them. If I don't get any resolution through PayPal, I will contact my credit card company and pursue it that way. I have all the order information, tracking, emails, etc. if needed to verify this information. I'm done dealing with this company. I'd recommend that you do not order anything from them either... unless you want to wait 2 weeks for a 2 business day shipping item, have to stay home half a weekday to get your order, and possibly not get all of your order.

The first 2 times a customer service representative told me it was because of discrepancies on my billing address, the last time and when I was just minutes to pick up got canceled because it was out of stock! A very disappointing first buyer experience at BJ’s! BTW still waiting for a manager to call me for a solution on this matter! So frustrating???

This is the second time in two months since purchasing packaged food with bad packaging allowing sealed-in foods to be exposed to the environment. On this instance, I purchased Jack Daniels Seasoned Fully Cooked Pulled Port. Boxed item includes two sealed portioned pouches. One of the two was sealed correctly. The other pouch's seal was through their product, ie. not sealed. The food near the opened pouch was discolored white. Cost of the item at the BJ's Parkland, Florida location was $10.99. In this case trusting food purchased from BJ's Parkland could be a fatal decision.
When returning the item, Manager on Duty Ivan seemed to cop an attitude suggesting that he sees/hears these complaints quite often. His only suggestion was to refund the item or talk to store manager, Anthony **, when he returns sometime next week. When I asked Ivan whether it was possible that BJ's costs are lower than purchasing same item at grocery stores due to BJ's purchasing defective stock from leading manufacturers, Ivan neither agreed nor denied the statement. Considering this being my second time with two different products, and today's manager on duty somewhat agreeing, there seems to be a problem that will affect the health and well being of other customers, and should be reported to health officials. What good is buying wholesale if you could die doing it.

Not all employees are rude but two specifically manager and one at the checkout exit. I made a complaint about the individual at the exit checking items, anyone ** would let them out quick but I as an Hispanic would go thoroughly in my cart knowing it was checked out by an associate. It made me feel like if I was stealing. Spoke to the manager about the incidents but it was like speaking to the wall never took action just said is doing his job. For that reason I will never place a foot in any BJ'S Wholesale stores. This happen at Mayslanding, New Jersey. Compared to Sam's wholesales BJ's is out of date.

Cuban butcher at the BJ's store in Ft Myers, Florida intentionally lied about the meat he was selling, and had repackaged it with an extended expiration date. I asked him twice if the meat was fresh and he lied to me twice. When I got home and opened the packaging, it was slimy and smelled foul and rotten, so I had to drive all the way back to the store to request a refund and explain to customer service what had happened, and asked that the general manager investigate the Cuban guy who tried to poison me with rotten meat from BJ's meat department this week.

I ordered from BJ's online and when I received box, it had someone else's order with their packing slip which included their name, address, phone number and their Bj's account number. It took be 50 minutes to get through to customer service and once on it took one hour to figure out that I needed to repack the box and bring it to my lobby for UPS pickup in 1-5 days. Once they receive return items I would receive a refund. They refused to resend out my order and also more importantly they didn't care to research who may have gotten my personal information. Another phone call took 65 minutes and again on hold for over 30 minutes to be told that they could not identify who received my order with my personal information until it was returned and also refused to confirm who now has my personal information. This is a a breach of my personal security. I will be contacting their legal department.

I have a company card and spend HUNDREDS of dollars with this company. I opted to have automatic renewal, that charges my company card and is linked with my BJ's account, to pay so I wouldn't have to deal with it. I noticed on my monthly credit card statement that BJ's charged $165 for a renewal of our membership. No problem, even though the fee went up $25 without notice. I went into my account to try to print a receipt for my work to reflect the payment charged on my credit card statement. The website shows only a $110 charge. I call the store for a printed receipt for the NEW charge, long story short, they can't give me one. She directs me to a customer service number to call.
I call the number and hold for 1.5 hours!! When I finally get someone, she tells me she will send me one via email. Waited 2 days...nope, no receipt. I call again and hold 15 mins and this person tells me she would resubmit another request to a different department and they will respond 3-5 days. I ask to speak to a supervisor...I hold another 15 mins. Then a recording comes on about rating the person and then I get disconnected.

BJ's was selling a sanitizer called Blumen. My boyfriend and I recently saw a news article online in Massachusetts about there being Methanol in this product so there was a recall on it. We purchased a few bottles from Bj's so we called the store and they said they would take them back. When we arrived at Bjs the girl at the courtesy desk was so rude. She stated there is no recall on the ones they were selling and when we asked why all lf it was pulled from their shelves she said it was a courtesy...to me that doesn't make sense.

I received an advertisement from BJ's on Monday and called my store to find out if the item was in stock. I was informed it was not, but since the item went on sale on Thursday to check back then. Today I have spent all morning calling my assigned store, a store I was told had it in stock (turned out it was the display & could not be sold) and BJ's customer service line (35 minutes on hold). End result answer from a lady named Ed was this item is sold out and not available in Florida.
Why would a company such as BJ's send this advertisement magazine out knowing this item is and will not be in stock. I believe this is a gross example of false advertisement specially in a time when people are encouraged to stay at home. I believe they want to make people come into their store to sell them other items. I have been a member since 2008 and am very disappointed - as there are many options to consumers I will be going elsewhere and encourage others to do the same.

A few weeks ago I joined BJ's as a one-day member on their website and purchased 4 rolls of landscape cloth. Only three arrived, one of them damaged (unboxed with a label slapped on), and the fourth still showing as "in transit"on the UPS site. Today, I used BJ's live chat app to get assistance with the missing package. After stating the problem, their customer rep Rizaldo asked me for my membership #. When I explained that I had used temporary membership to make my purchase, he terminated the chat. Assuming this last shipment is indeed missing, it looks like I will have to do a charge-back on the missing item.

My wife and I wanted to try BJ's; we have been going to Costco for years and decided to try BJ's Wholesale. Upon arriving at the customer service desk, my wife asked the Service Clerk if she could get a temporary/first time member account. The clerk, her name badge had several other items laying over it appeared to say "Yessin..."
After giving our information, the clerk proceeded to tell my wife that she didn't have an account. My wife then explained that that no, she wanted a temporary pass to try out the store. The clerk sighed, and said; so you want to open an account. My wife explained, for the second time, that she had received a letter in the mail inviting her to come in and try a temporary pass. The clerk then explained that if we joined, we could get the year for $25 instead of $50, instead of a temporary pass. She also said that if we didn't take the $25 deal, we would not get the offer again if we decided to join. We agreed to join.
The clerk then asked for my wife's ID. She presented her state issued, photo ID for concealed carry - it has her name, address, photo, etc. The clerk told her that she needed a state issued ID. It was, it just wasn't a driver's license. No problem, I gave the clerk my driver's license. But I said the address was not the latest. When ready, the rude clerk asked for the address. I was standing back with the cart, my wife began to give the updated address and the clerk shushed her, said she could only speak to the person with a "valid state ID".
I gave the address and when asked our phone and email as well. She gave us a folder, a receipt and a BJ's card. She said when we got home to visit the website to set up our account and link to the phone app. My wife had already downloaded the app to try to see what they sold and offers; but you needed an account to see coupons/sales. So while my wife shopped, I downloaded the app and tried logging in.
First, I couldn't get past the name - turns out I'm a Jr, so for the last name the clerk put both last name and Jr. Once I had the name correct, it asked for my email address and a password to create the log in. No matter what I tried, each time it returned with a "error registering". The address area, I put the correct address. No matter what I tried; an error continued. So I returned to the Customer Service desk.
Unfortunately, Yessin?? was available, so I returned to her. I explained that I could not get the App to link and asked if she would confirm the email. Without even looking, she told me "I put in the email you gave me." I explained that my email, which has my name, could be spelled multiple ways - the address was correct, so they only thing I could guess was the email. She sighed, then read to me the email (not the letters, but the name). I explained there was spelling options and showed her my login screen with the email and asked if they matched. She rolled her eyes and said yes, and again told me that she put in what I gave her.
So I asked her if there was some other reason I couldn't link my account; everything else on the screen was correct. Yessin?? then said, "just log onto our Guest Wi-Fi; that sometimes helps because the signal in here isn't very good." At this point, I admit I was very ticked off at the rudeness, lack of customer service and it was very clear I was the problem - she didn't care if I joined, was a member or got help. I told her I would not log into an unsecured Wi-Fi and enter personal information into the app. I had just checked my security cameras and email (I had checked to see if BJ's had sent anything when I joined, thinking it would confirm the email address). I had full bars, no signal issue.
I told her I would not use an unknown Wi-Fi and I had good signal. Yessin__ responded that was all she could do; having other people log into the Wi-Fi had solved their problem, and if I didn't want to log into the Wi-Fi there wasn't anything else she could do. I then told her that both of my experiences with her; joining and the help with the app were not positive experiences. I told her that as a new member, I was not thrilled with her service and did not appreciate our interactions. She just looked at me for a moment then said. "Sorry." with a look that said she was anything, but.
I can say that the check-out clerk, her assistant with the cart and door checker were all very pleasant. I went to the BJ's website, but they only had an option for calling - no email or chat; and in red it said the average wait time was 60-90 minutes. I get with the pandemic there are concessions to be made, but BJ's clearly not working on customer service (training, personnel or online).

My complaint is about the service as you may see. I must say that there are some very good employees that honor their work, but some others don't. To be specific, I’m rating the New Jersey store located in North Bergen, 88th St. It's understandable that during this time employees must be careful about social distancing and so on but that does mean they ignore the customer and that was the attitude of one of the employees working on 4/28/20 around noon. She not only was rude by ignoring questions, but also by servicing.
I ordered among other things, a lb of cheddar cheese which she place in the wax paper in a mountain shape and not flat as they usually do. I was surprised to see from far since you cannot get close now, how it looked unfamiliar my usual order. After seeing this I requested several times, since she seemed to ignore me, to please place the order in 2 different bags. When she was done, she practically threw my order over the counter with rude attitude. I must say that my family nor I could use the cheese in slices because they were all twisted inside, just the way she placed them in. After waiting 1 hour to get in, this behavior is not acceptable. I think she might be new to the job but needs to be trained before facing customers. I'm also rating it with 3, because I think the store must place signs to alert customer if they are servicing as usual since we get into the store and feel lost for the lack of employees and the few ones we see just ignore the customers. :-(

I was given the Customer Care # to call for assistance and was told it would be a long wait due to the impact of Coronavirus.
On Fri, May 1st the wait time stated 90-120mins, I held on for 2 1/2 hours - no one answered. Attempted again yesterday, Tues, May 5th for 3hrs - no answer. This is not Customer Care if no one answers. Yes we are in unprecedented times, but maybe Customer Care at BJ's should just state that no one is available to assist you at this time. I will go back to my BJ's store this week, I will shop but then because of the new digital coupon set up I will once again have to go to the Service Desk to have them credit me for the coupon items I purchased since my account is not working properly. Customer Service Desk at my BJ's location has been extremely polite, but obviously BJ's corporate Customer Care service is having real issues.

A bit over a year ago, a BJ's employee pressured me to upgrade my military membership to a rewards membership while I was waiting on the checkout line. I told her that I didn't spend enough money at BJ's for it to make sense math-wise. The employee claimed to check my purchase history, told me that I would indeed save money with the rewards membership, and assured me that I could cancel if I found the rewards membership wasn't working out for me. A short time after that, my membership renewed at the upgraded level.
When renewal time came around this year, I checked my purchases and found that I was not getting my money's worth out of the upgraded membership, so I called BJ's, initially asking only that my membership be downgraded and the upgrade be refunded. I was told that that was not allowed, despite what the employee in the club had told me.
Not happy about having been lied to, I requested that my membership be completely canceled and refunded, which BJ's site states can be done at any time. After a very long time on hold, the agent told me that she had taken care of it. After about another week or so, I checked and found that my membership had not been canceled and no refund had been issued.

A few days after that, the same manager emailed me again and told me she couldn't get in touch with me at the number I provided, and to please provide a different one, which I provided.
Another few days went by with no contact from BJ's, so I replied to the previous email with an ultimatum: Either refund my money within 48 hours, or I will file complaints with the Attorney General of New York and Massachusetts and with the FTC. We'll see what happens. My advice is simple. I'm not going to recommend that you join BJ's or that you don't join. If you like the store and the prices, more power to you.
What I will say, however, is that you should be absolutely certain you like the place before you pay for a membership. Get a trial membership first and try it out; because once you pay for a membership, BJ's will do everything they possibly can to avoid refunding your money. In short, it took me less time and effort to join the military than it's taking me to cancel my membership and get a refund. So again, be very sure that you like BJ's before you pay for a membership.

We placed an order for a close out item that was a great price but the order has been a headache since placing! Everyday we get conflicting statements from shipper and from company itself! We’re told it shipped, then it hasn’t shipped. The next person states it’s on the east coast, then it’s in Dallas, then Austin. Then we were told it hadn’t shipped. The worst part is that we were charged for full amount which is hundreds of dollars, and now are being blown off by BJ’s! Not sure where to go next! Very disappointing? Be very cautious when placing an order!

This was my second time with online ordering and it will be my last. I am also terminating my membership after 11+ years. To keep this brief, I will bullet point and summarize: I received notification of 2 shipments. The first was received on Friday, 7/5. Per the packing slip and e-mail the paper plates were to be in that shipment. No paper plates were in the box. When I called Friday, I was given conflicting information: I had to call back in three days to see if it arrived by then. Then the rep noted, “it was delivered today” (to which I explained again no paper plates were in the box). I called back yesterday: I was told I had to wait three more days for the case to be escalated. This is not acceptable.
Then I was told I could receive a gift card for $15 but would have to wait 21 days to receive it. I would also have to reorder the paper towels (at a discount) (the rep neglected to mention that I would have to pay shipping because the order was under $100). Also, not acceptable. Finally, after being on the phone for 45 minutes with multiple times waiting to speak to a supervisor, I was told I could get a refund back to my credit card. Let's see if that happens. I don’t understand why I couldn’t just have to paper towels sent to me. I used this service as a convenience to save time, but ended up spending more time and frustration over an $11.99 bundle of paper plates. So frustrating! The reps tried to be polite but they were no help at all. I felt like I was just getting the runaround. In addition, both times I called I was offered a survey at the end and told I would be called back 2 minutes after the call ended and I didn’t get a call either time. Horrible experience!

Only one cashier line. 8 self-serve line full of waiting people. In several occasions I called the manager to try to improve the situation but I feel is becoming worse. Today I was 40 minutes in line on one cashier line. On the self service lines there was one helper per line but the process is delayed because people are not cashiers. The manager explained to me this is the way the industry goes, I explained to him the membership is paid by members to receive in return a level of service that is not improving. Maybe the industry is going to membership-less stores. Thanks Pembroke Pines, FL store (near a 55+ community).

This was my second time, that I had to go to the customer service counter to have coupons I clipped on the BJ’s website did not deduct off my bill, when I actually purchased the exact item listed. I thought this happened in the past, but didn’t have time to go stand in the customer service line. The last two times I shopped, I brought up the clipped coupon on my phone, took a picture of them as I purchased each item so I could track to be sure the coupons came off my bill. Last time, it was 14.50 of coupons that did not come off my bill, today it was 6.75. What about the times I didn’t catch it. If you advertise to clip coupons on your website and say they will deduct automatically, why is it not working.
The customer service staff have to look up each item on the receipt, be sure it matches what is in the cart, then look in a coupon book to cut out the coupon in order to give me the dollars due. Time in which I did not plan on spending at the customer service counter (girl working there was asked a question by the associate taking care of me was also very rude). My time and money is very important to me! When I asked why the coupons didn’t deduct, no one knows the answer. How many customers are using the website to clip coupons, and not getting the credit and do not realize it, looks like big bucks in BJ’s pocket. I did not clip the coupons same day either. If your website doesn’t work for clipped coupons, do not offer it, so customers are not being ripped off.

I have been a long-time member of BJ’s and like their warehouse stores. HOWEVER, over the years I have tried to make several purchases from BJs.com and every year and every order has been a complete disaster. 1st: None of estimated delivery dates of the items on-line are an indication of the actual delivery date. In my experience, each item took 35 to 45 days longer than stated. 2nd: The website does not state if the item is in stock or not. So the delivery date is completely misleading. In my experience, it took over two weeks for an email to come to tell me that the item is backordered. They should get a computer to help them with inventory.
3rd: The order status web pages are a mess with conflicting information. The page listing your orders correctly shows what you ordered and the date you ordered it on…. But weirdly the date shown is in day-month-year format. If you click on order status, the order date format changes to month-day-year format AND is completely wrong… and it changes two to three times a week! So it is not the order date, who knows what it is?
4th: The “Estimated Delivery” date changes 3 days after the item was supposed to be delivered to be the same day the following week…. Which they consistently miss in a forever repeating loop. 5th: Chatting online to a rep just tells you what you read on line. With my last order, 3 days after their 2nd missed delivery date, they told me that the item was shipping in a couple of days only to receive an email the following day that the item is on back-order and will not ship for another 30 days…. Which leads me to 6th: NEITHER my online order status NOR the item page has been updated to say the item is on backorder. As a matter of fact, the item page says if you order now, it will be delivered in 4 business days…. Really?!

Prior to purchasing this item on 12 Dec 18, I ensured that I check the return policy to be certain that it, Snow Joe Ultra 18" 15-Amp Electric Snow Thrower with Light - Blue (Item: 2045550 Model: SJ623E), was an item that I could return to the club. There was nothing listed in the return policy, the item description or once the order was completed that this item could not be returned to the club. This item is unopened/unused and I decided to return it as I did not need it. However, when I attempted to return it to the club, the shipping document that was attached to the item stated that it had to be returned to BJ's online and that it required an return authorization (RA). None of this was specified online for this item. Had that been specified, I never would have purchased it from BJ's, I would have purchased it from somewhere else.
After several calls to customer service and being rerouted through the voice system, the automatic voice system is annoyingly inefficient, and left on hold indefinitely. I finally spoke with a supervisor, Tracy, who told me that the item was non-refundable. She stated that it is posted online. That it is non-refundable when that is not the case; she could not specify exactly where it was posted, she just kept saying that it was posted. Very frustrating experience! She also stated that she would have to contact the vendor to see if it would accept the return and that she would contact me herself.
What??? Where is any of this in the return policy that is advertised online? I informed her that one way or another, I will get my money back even if it means that I have to dispute this charge with my creditor. After which, I discovered that my membership was revoked when I attempted to make a purchase when I have paid for a membership through May and have been a member for years, ever since the club came to Hampton Roads, VA.
BJ's return policy clearly states, "BJ's selects the highest quality merchandise for our Members and stands behind the products we sell. If you are not completely satisfied with a purchase made online or in-Club BJ's will give you a refund or exchange within the guidelines below." This item falls within those guidelines where it should not only be returnable, but they should be accepted by the club. I do not want this item. It is not a bulk item, it is an electrical item, not gas; there is no oil. It is less than 90 days and unused. There is no valid reason for BJ's to refuse this return. BJ's is not honoring its return policy.
This is a prime example of a 'bait and switch' and after reading so many of the other complaints by consumers, BJ's is clearly making a statement that it does not value its patrons. By the way, Tracy never did follow up with me either. :-( That was a waste of 2 hours of my valuable time in that club. Absolutely disgraceful service!
Consumers need to do more than complain. Spread the word and discourage others from spending their money at "bad businesses". Stop patronizing businesses that disrespect you as a consumer providing poor customer service, dishonoring their written policies, etc. I will soon forget that BJ's even exists and hope that other consumers show BJ's that their behavior is unacceptable by canceling/discontinuing their membership and shopping elsewhere affecting BJ's profits. Apparently, that is the only way to get the attention of a business.

BJ's may possibly offer quality services on many goods to its members, but it fails miserably with the strategy in practice in the optical department. Years ago, the optical department would present the customer the options available with price once a frame and lens were selected to enable the consumer to make an informed decision. However, in the last five years or so, this practice has disappeared to the detriment of the consumer. Nowadays, the salesperson will quote one price with the most expensive options. To add insult to injury, the salesperson will also include a $20.00 insurance premium without ever informing you or requesting your consent. Should a mishap occur, this insurance, by the way, does not even cover 100% of the glasses, and, you will be responsible for additional copay under the terms of the policy.
Should you decide to ask for a detailed copy of the charges, the responses generally are "we will give it to you when you pick up your glasses" or "the printer is down" or at best, you will receive a faded and barely legible printout. Most people trust BJ's to operate along the line of a reputable company. But, BJ's optical department is not. It is taking advantage of their trust and operating more along the line of unscrupulous car dealerships. So, in effect, BJ's scammed me out of $20.00 when I am signing my credit card charges. $20.00 is not exactly a fortune, but soon add up to it when you consider all the glasses sold across all the BJ's stores. Is the practice of charging for a service that is not requested even legal?
