    When I got there to pick my order up, the Bj’s representative said to go to make the line with all the rest of people that were there to buy at the store, They did not organize the customers like divide them by groups – those who wanted pick orders and those that went to buy, nonsense. But in the Bj’s website are encourage people to skip lines and get your items faster. However it is a mess to pick your order since you have to make long lines and now with Covid19 they are putting people lives on risk, a lot of them are not using masks or dont keep the right distance as directed by department of health and disease control.

    I own an essential company who is been working and doing things through all of this and I find it kind of disappointing that I had to pay for a membership in order to be able to shop at BJ's. Now I see online that they're letting essential workers shop there without a membership and it's a load of crap because I've already paid for the membership and I was attending the store because you had to have a membership in order to buy things from there which means that limits the people that are going in and out of the store.

    Ordered a TV on 4/2. On 4/3 got notification it shipped. Their website said the order was complete. The tracking info said a label was created but, item never shipped. They have no way of getting in touch with them. Let the phone ring for over an hour, on two days, with no response. Sent an email that they never responded to. Tried to cancel, online, wouldn't let me. Don't buy from them.

    I ordered 12 items through BJ's delivery service yesterday. I received only one item worth 8 $ and they charged me 14 $ for service charges. It came at middle of the night about 5 hours late. Please think ten times before ordering from bj's in future, because you may not get the items you ordered and they would charge service charge.

    When I first went to BJ's, the promotions for discounts were easy, just buy $75 groceries. Then they started selecting which groceries count. Now they are having us fill out forms on a website and upload pictures of our receipt. They have all that information at the cash register. This is just obnoxious and rude, and difficult for senior citizens. They advertise these promotions but aggravate their customers and make them give up by having them jump through so many hoops.

    Although this store is not available where I live, every few months when I go back to the east coast, I always shop there. They have a deli with the best brand meats and cheeses at bargain prices and the store has many other brand name bargains at well below retail cost... they regularly send out their own coupons and they accept retail coupons. You can't beat that! I wish Costco and Sam's operated like that!

    BJ's is a big box store but small enough to navigate easily. They have monthly coupons on many items and also have gas at the most reasonable price in the area. They have specials with coupons so you not only get $1.00 to $5.00 off an item, but it also qualifies you to purchase gas that day for extra off per gallon. I also like many of the brands they carry, as well as a variety of organic products. They offer self checkout so you don’t have to wait in line and many times, the service person will come and check out your items. Great customer service from all there. Very satisfied with the store since it opened.

    I purchased a pair of glasses from BJ'S in August 2018. I liked the glasses and was very happy. I switch glasses because I have a few pairs (purchased elsewhere). When I went to put the BJ's glasses on a week ago, the coating was coming off the lenses. I can no longer use the glasses. I went back to BJ's hoping for some satisfaction. This is a manufacturer's error, not mine. I have several pairs of glasses with Transitional lenses and this happened to one other pair. I went back to that Optical store and they told me it was a manufacturer's problem and they replaced my lenses for no charge, even though I had the glasses for two years. However, BJ's now says they no longer deal with the company that made my lenses and nothing came be done after a year and a half. I am very disappointed in the business practices and will no longer use them for my optical needs. I will also let my membership end. So Beware!

    I put coupons on my phone and half go through. I got Cheerios, ribs, peanuts, 2 types of Kleenex. About $15 in coupons did not go through. I did not realize till I got home and they were still in the clipped. I even checked when in the store. They have no one to help. I thought they went through but when I got home about half were still in the clipped area of my phone. It is very had to decode in the store when at the register. I thought they were all there but they weren't. They also sent me coupons and I tried to use those and half did not go through. I looked at the items bought and the coupons still sit in the clipped section of my phone. The App does not work. At least when I loaded when in CA at Safeway they had the same type of program. No troubles there. On my phone also. Here at BJs they suck when it comes to coupons.

    Recently ordered television at BJ's Online site; guaranteed 3 business day delivery. Didn't arrive after one week, called customer service, said it must have been over site. They will expedite the order. Another week, no TV. Called back, was assured it would be taken care of and shipped out. Another week passes, NO TV, called again; on hold for 40 minutes. Asked for supervisor who once again assured me she would handle it and call me back within 24 hours..no call ever arrived! Sent email detailing above to BJ's customer service department; received no reply. Finally wrote letter to VP Customer Service and guess what? STILL NO REPLY! Are you kidding me?

    THEY JUST DON'T CARE WHATSOEVER!!!! Finally went to local BJ's store and brought all my correspondence along. Spoke with store manager who refunded my original purchase price and offered me a great deal on a tv that was in the store that I could carry home. That was the only bright spot.

    BJ is a perfect example... of how not to run a business or how to run a business in the ground!!! In Jacksonville FL, we had 3 BJ clubs now, there's only one!!! The food court was permanently (I had to return, nearly everything I got from there )!!! Their baker(???) makes "Little Debbie" taste like a Master Chef!!! I often, let my membership expire cuz, I rarely used it and hated the lines "Due to very workers"!!! About mid-Nov, choose to try again with the holidays coming up!

    1) Only 1 person at the desk (again!!!) I paid more, "Not to do, auto renew"!!! Got my receipt and they did the auto renew anyways!!! Now, there are 8 people behind me and I'm told to come back to remove it. :(
    2) I do some shopping and go to check out... There is only 1 cashier in the entire store (Friday afternoon) & most of the self checkout don't work!!!
    3) I return (again Friday, 2pm) and notice a retirement bus, dropping off about 30-35 seniors (many in scooters & walkers) a few days before Thanksgiving!!! I went to check out and "Not one cashiers, was working"!!! The management said "She didn't come in today"??? They only planned to have 1 person working, the weekend before Thanksgiving (bright guy)!!!
    4) I went to desk (still only 1 worker) and cancel my membership (of 1 week)!!!

    5) The final… I contacted the corp. office and explained all that I've seen and had to deal with. I was told "Someone" would get back with me.... Like others, I heard nothing.

They were out-of-stock on this item and would not provide a raincheck for me to use when stock was replenished. Maybe this is not a major problem, but it was irritating since I purposely made the trip before the coupon expired. My Shop-Rite supermarket gives rainchecks.... Why doesn't BJ's...

    I purchased an item for in-store pickup on 12/8/19. On 12/10/19, I contacted customer service because I have not heard anything regarding the item. Later on that day, they cancel my order due to item not available. The coupons that I used to purchase the item are now considered "used" and no longer available if I want to repurchase at a different store. I emailed customer service again but no word from them. I guess I should stick with Target. At Target, if you order pickup but item is not available, you can either select a different store or they will ship for free.

I called Bj’s and they told me that they would send me a return label for the fryers and provide me with the replacement dollhouses. Instead they issued a refund that I would not receive after 10 business days once they received the item. I had to buy the houses all over again so that they get here on time for Christmas. Have not received the labels nor the refund yet. No apologies from them. Never again. Going to Costco.

    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. I called BJ's again and was told that my membership had been canceled, but the refund request had not been processed. The agent told me she would do so, however.

    Another week or so went by with no cancellation and no refund, so I posted a review the BBB web site. A few days later, A BJ's manager emailed me and asked for my phone number, which I provided by email. 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?

    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!

    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?!

    Please don’t believe you will get your money back if you cancel your membership after a few months. I had to cancel my membership because I have cancer and moved to Columbus so I can receive treatment at The James at OSU. There are no BJ's near me but I kept receiving the catalogs in my husband's name? When I called customer service, the agent was rude and couldn’t find record of me calling previously. Then I was told my membership cancelled itself because I wasn’t using it and I would not be getting my money back. I was contacted by another person but they only address my husband when the money came out of my bank account. Very disrespectful.

    I used to be a member of BJ’s. I went in with my young nephew, 6 years old at the time last year. The man behind the deli counter screamed trying to scare my nephew when he was looking at the different meats and cheeses in the case. My nephew backed up frightened. The deli man started hilariously laughing at the young child’s reaction. My nephew was embarrassed and didn’t understand why someone that worked there would try to frighten him and laugh.

    Just went in tonight to grab something for a work party tomorrow. Had permission to use my coworker's card, plus my mother has a free trial anyways and our licenses are at the same address. I simply and kindly asked the redhead woman behind the counter for a coupon book... She asked me for my member card and my license to get a coupon book??? Really? Then told me since my mom just has a free trial currently I cannot get a coupon book and refused to give me one...like seriously? She was so rude...

    For sure this store looks like it’s poorly run. Deli department is dirty, unsanitary and folks behind the counter are rude. Regardless of the time of day, the slicers are filthy. The folks behind the counter use gloves but are touching everything, never changing their gloves. The meat and cheeses are put down right on the counter that has crumbs from everything that they’ve cut previously.

    The associates talk to each other but when it comes time to speak to customers they show no customer service training. I went to the store this past Saturday and shredded the card when I got home. The checkout had one register opened and we waited a long time. This is why I keep my Costco card. Far drive but you can’t beat their dedication to a truly good, CLEAN customer service experience.

After the salespeople left, I decided to check the paperwork for warranty information and lo and behold it states clearly that labor is not warrantied (most of the cost is in labor).

    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?

    The services I received from customer service at BJ’s were above and beyond horrible. I purchased a TV from their BJ's site in December of 2018 and it was not scheduled to be delivered until January 4, 2019. When the TV was delivered the screen was severely cracked. I refused the TV and called BJ's wholesale for a replacement per the delivery company instructions. When I called BJ's customer service the first time they stated that I would have to wait for them to receive the TV back from the delivery company before they could refund me my money. I asked the lady to contact the delivery company to verify that they had the TV. She did and they advised her that the TV was broken and they will be returning it back to BJ's wholesale.

    I advised them that I just wanted another TV not my money back. Customer service proceeded to tell me that they don't replace broken or damaged items. They just refund the member their money back and they purchase another one. I inquired when they may receive the TV back and I was advised January 7 or 8. Which was Monday or Tuesday. I contacted them Tuesday and they said that they have not received the TV back yet. I inquired about what else could be done so that I can get another TV. I asked could they just apply the money to the new TV I would like to purchase and they said no. I was advised that they are not set up to do business that way. I was then advised that once I return the TV then they can give me another one.

    I advised the representative that I did not have the TV. I sent it back with the delivery company because it was cracked. She stated that I was supposed to take the TV and return it to my local store myself. I made her aware that I was never told that not to mention I was not going to sign for a broken TV. She then went on to say I can buy another TV while I wait for my return to go through. I advised her that no one just has 618 lying around to spend again and have 1236 dollars of my money held up. She stated there was nothing else she could do. I asked to speak to a supervisor and no one was available. She had put in for a callback. No one called me back. So over the next 7 business days I would be calling BJ's to get this matter resolved.

    I had requested to more callbacks in that time and no supervisor called me back. I filed a complaint with the company and nothing was done about it. I felt that I was just another membership holder and meant nothing to them but a number even though I spend hundreds of dollars almost thousands a year at my local BJ's store. This is the worst customer service I have ever received. Then on January 16, 2019 I found out that BJ's didn't not start the return process for my broken TV with the delivery company until January 10. Which was 6 days after my first call in to report the issue. I then was advised that the TV should be deliver January 16 or 17 to their warehouse. When I asked about getting the TV at the original price with everything that came with it (Additional 1 year warranty from BJ's free of charge, and white glove delivery service) the young lady stated that they would have to put in a request to see if that was possible.

    She then advised me that the TV I purchased previously that was delivered damaged is now out of stock and I can’t purchase it. I was beyond upset. I was taken through days of back and forth. Not being called back and mixed information to be told I cannot even repurchase the TV I original purchased. This is beyond bad customer service and a complete disrespect to me as a person. No one should ever have to go through this and I believe that they have to be required to do better and be held to a standard when it comes to helping a customer and providing a service they are being paid for.

    I have a BJ's Perks Mastercard through Comenity Bank? If you are considering a Comenity Bank credit card, USERS BEWARE! I pay off all my credit cards in full each month via my credit union's on-line bill pay. Last month, I had a larger than usual balance on my BJ's Mastercard due to a furniture purchase and final payment on my daughter's wedding. When our credit union attempted to make the electronic payment, Comenity Bank wouldn't accept it because of the larger amount and insisted the credit union issue a draft check by mail.

    Long story short, our credit union (in Maryland) mailed the check on November 13th (five days before payment was due) and Comenity Bank (in Texas) claims they didn't receive the check until November 26th (liars), thus charging interest and a late fee to our account. After speaking with three Comenity Bank credit card managers (and having a credit union rep on the phone for the third call), Comenity Bank waived the late fee, but refused to credit the interest charged to our BJ's Mastercard account. I was told we can submit a letter from our credit union through Comenity Bank's dispute resolution process. Comenity Bank is playing games, and I DON'T TRUST THEM!! Needless to say, we won't be using that credit card anymore!

    BJ's advertised a one day promotion on November 10th for a Samsung 58 inch Led TV and a free Samsung soundbar with free shipping. I purchased this offer and my credit card was billed for the product/offer. I did not receive a confirmation number, but I could see the charges on my credit card. Later, a credit for the charges appeared on my credit card. I spoke to the BJ's Customer Service and had to tell the story many times to individuals. I spoke in the chat room, on the phone and made a follow up call.

    Bj's Customer Service could not see a transaction for the offer but did see a transaction for me for a lesser amount and this transaction had a confirmation number, but I had no record of this mystery transaction. This raised additional concerns. BJ's or whoever was in their system, was able to charge my credit card and make other strange charges. The bottom line is that they would not honor the offer and did not care about the issues that were experienced in their online order system. I feel my information was compromised and this should be a concern for BJ's but they do not care.

    People, I cannot stress this strongly enough. DO NOT BUY TIRES AT BJ's. I swear this is 100% true and still I have correspondence from BJ's employees to verify it. BJ's buys 8th rate garbage tires from a shady distributor called Simple Tire LLC and Simple Tire floods BJ's supply chain with old tires. Tires degrade even when not being used and rubber has a finite shelf life. The lifespan of a tire is 4-5 years now even if the tire has never seen the road. It doesn't matter about the mileage rating or the mileage you've done, if the tire has sat in a climate controlled warehouse for 48 months it's about as far along in its lifespan as one that's been on your car for 48 months, it's almost dead and has very little time left before it becomes useless. And these are the tires BJ's is allowing Simple Tire LLC to send them. In fact, those are the only tires that Simple Tire LLC stocks and that's why BJ's uses them.

    When you log onto the BJ's website, place an order through your BJ's membership, pay BJ's, set up an appointment with a BJ's Tire Center to have tires installed by a BJ's employee it's probably Simple Tire LLC that ships the tires from their warehouse to the BJ's Tire Center and they send out old, almost dead garbage. And BJ's doesn't care. This is all verified, direct from BJ's employees. I had an appointment to have tires installed today. Placed the order through BJ's, paid BJ's, got confirmation from BJ's, went to BJ's and the tires that were waiting to be put on my car were almost four years old.

    They had been manufactured in January 2015 and had, at most, 12-15 months of life left before the rubber started to crack from age. And it could have been a lot less than that. But because these tires has never been installed and were aging in a warehouse rather than in a junkyard they were technically "NEW" according to Simple Tire LLC and to BJ's Tire Center. I of course refused to have them installed and contacted BJ's about what seems to be a pretty significant problem, one that is dangerous to BJ's customers and borderline illegal to pass off 4-year-old product as "new" when BJ's knows the lifespan of tires is 5 years.

    BJ's response floored me. I had hoped that maybe BJ's wasn't aware of the problem, but they are. The CSR knew and the guy at the tire center knew. I was told point blank to shut up and go away, that it's not their problem and that even if I order from them, pay them and have the tires installed at their stores by their employees its Simple Tire LLC's fault and BJ's refuses to do anything to rectify it or help customers who get screwed by their tires having a reduced lifespan. They're knowingly allowing their customers to buy old, worn out, dangerous tires that are advertised as "New". Simple Tire LLC IS NOT an authorized factory distributor of most of the brands they carry and the manufacturers disavow any relationship with them or their actions. Simple Tire LLC is essentially a tire clearinghouse that buys the garbage that other more ethical businesses won't sell.

    When an authorized distributor of a name brand tire gets hung with old merchandise that they don't want to sell to THEIR OWN customers, Simple Tire LLC buys it for pennies on the dollar and then resells it to BJ's who sell it at FULL PRICE to their "members". That's the truly infuriating part of this sleazy relationship. The tires that Tire Rack won't sell to their customers because they're too old, the tires that Town Fair Tire won't sell to their customers because they're too old are the tires that BJ's buys and resells to their MEMBERS.

    You are paying to belong to BJ's and you get treated worse than Tire Rack and Town Fair tires treat people who walk in off the street. BJ's is plenty big enough and has enough clout and buying power to source tires from anywhere. They can set up deals directly with the manufacturer. They can source from legit national distributors or resellers like Tire Rack. But they don't. They intentionally source the tires from the sleaziest re-seller they can find because those are the ones they can buy cheapest and resell to you at the best margin.

    This relationship is dangerous and is designed to hide the business practices of both BJ's and Simple Tire LLC from the buyer. Simple Tire claims that what they're doing is okay because they "disclose" it on their site. That much at least is true, it's on their site 22 clicks deep if you know where to look. But the buyer who goes through BJ's is not given that information. They order from BJ's, pay BJ's and deal entirely with BJ's employees at BJ's locations. BJ's does not tell people they're dealing with Simple Tire LLC, BJ's does not tell people they're getting 3 or 4-year-old tires with a short shelf life and the customer has no way to know if they're not familiar with DOT codes.

    BJ's knows what's happening and hides the very existence of Simple Tire LLC age disclaimer which is well hidden on Simple Tire LLC and almost impossible to find even if you know it's there. This is an ongoing case of fraud on a very large scale. BJ's Tire Center customers are only getting a small portion of the tire life they're paying for and both BJ's and Simple Tire LLC conspire to hide that information from them. To make matters worse, even when caught out, both BJ's and Simple Tire LLC throw up a joint smoke screen to keep the customer spinning around without recourse. I have correspondence from both companies trying to resolve this issue.

    Simple Tire flatly refuses to get involved because BJ's buys the tires from them and knows what they're getting and therefore, according to some rather sketchy ethical justifications, it's BJ's fault for not stopping them from sending out old tires. BJ's flatly refuses to get involved and insisted that I contact Simple Tire LLC directly because they shipped the tires and it's their fault, not BJ's fault. That can go on forever unless somebody else gets involved. How about you? If you got involved maybe a little public pressure might force them to stop tag-teaming the consumer to rob them.

    BJ's needs to disclose the source of its tires, BJ's needs to warn consumers that they're accepting tires that are far older than what is acceptable by industry standards and that those tires would have a vastly shorter lifespan than a new one. And maybe someone should audit the tires that have already gone out the door at BJ's Tire Centers to see how many customers have already been fooled into thinking they were getting new tires and instead got tires that are worth far less than they paid. And while you're at it, look into how this marriage took place in the first place. Simple Tire LLC is known to do stuff like this and it's hard to believe that BJ's could fail on such an epic scale to properly vet a business partner. Follow the money.

    If you are thinking about buying tires from BJ's, DON'T. If you have already bought tires from BJ's, check them or have them checked by a legit tire dealer or installer. Every passenger car tire sold in the US has what is called a D.O.T. code on the sidewall. Most people don't know it's there and BJ's wants to keep it that way. But that code is very important to the consumer, it's the date of manufacture. It's a four-digit code that is week and year that the tire was made and you should check it on EVERY TIRE that you buy. If it says 2217 that means the tire was made during the 22nd week of 2017, 0218 means that it was made 2nd week of 2018.

    You should check that code on every tire you buy or plan to buy, it's as important as the sell-by date on milk or ground beef. If you've bought tires at BJ's recently, check it now and see what you REALLY paid for. You might have paid full price for a tire you thought was new and you might have gotten three to four-year-old junk that has 1/10th of the lifespan you think you bought. If you got hosed, go back and raise hell. BJ's ethics or lack of ethics on this matter means the only way they're going to stop is if their members stop them. DON'T PAY FOR OLD TIRES. DEMAND BETTER. You're a "member" at BJ's and that should mean something to you because it doesn't seem to mean much to them.

    Don't trust BJ's and heck, don't even trust me. I ask you to not take what I've told you on faith. Research it yourself. Look up Simple Tire LLC and the string of complaints against them. Consult with a legit tire seller/installer and ask them to explain DOT codes to you, check yours and explain why they don't sell old tires. And ask them what they think of anyone in their business who sells three and four-year-old tires as "new". Tell them that's what BJ's does and they'll tell you exactly what I'm telling you, word for word. DO NOT BUY TIRES AT BJ's TIRE CENTERS. EVER!!

    I was told by BJ's that they have an option called "Add to card" online where you can clip the coupons to your membership card. That's nice, but still why? We are members, the sales w/ or w/o coupons should be automatically given to the members at checkout w/o all these extra work in advance. Are you kidding me? I can understand if they have a special promotion like giving out a $10 coupon or $20 coupon if you make a purchase over $50, maybe they can still justify for clipping those special coupons but as far as coupons are for in-house merchandise, they should eliminate coupon clipping (or pre-load to your membership card before shopping), save work for everyone, no need to have a special app to save coupon electronically to our membership card before we go shopping at BJ's, no need for the checkout software to see if sales price should be given to the member depending on whether or not the coupons are preloaded on their membership card.

    Come on. Do you know how ridiculous this sounds, almost as if BJ's does not want to give the sale price to the members if they do not do any extra work--clipping coupons or preload coupons to their membership card? What's the point of being an annual paid member there? We have to clip coupons or load coupons electronically in order to get the sale? If we do that, we can go to supermarkets for shopping. Why bother to pay to join BJ's? What is the upper management of BJ's thinking? They ought to spring into the action of getting rid of this ridiculous policy. I cannot believe all the BJ's customers are allowing this coupon thing to happen, to continue to happen... I don't get it... I will not continue my membership if they do not stop this nonsense. I will join Costco instead. No coupon clipping there, all sale is automatically given to the customers at the checkup.

    I am seeing the downward trend at BJ’s. I've been willing to forgive the few times I've had bad experiences there (bad food, rude employees). But today I was made to feel guilty through no fault of my own. It might sound dramatic, but that's how I felt and I can't shake it. Basically, the employee at the exit who checks outgoing carts caught an item that the cashier had missed (I wasn't paying attention either so I missed it too). The employee at the exit was very thorough. I've always wondered how these cart checkers did their job; I suppose they should count everything, right? What if someone has 200 items in their cart? Will they spend the 2 or 3 minutes counting, and maybe counting again (like what happened with me with only 19 items)? They should, right?

    But in all my years as a BJ shopper, I've really never had a problem being held up on the way out; either the checkers weren't really counting or they were very very fast and good at what they do. But I figured that, setting aside actual shoplifting (which this occasion wasn't), the scales should balance with cashiers missing a scan here and there and cashiers ringing items twice here and there with my dozens of shopping trips. But to shame and make customers wait because of their cashiers' mistakes? Come on, BJ’s. I hope this employee was just an overly zealous one-off, and you realize how much this is costing you in good will.

    And I hope race doesn't have something to do with it. I am Asian-American. The employee checker says she checks everybody's cart very thoroughly. Yes, even very full carts with things buried? With only one of you at the exit, are you going to move things around to count everything, and maybe count more than once? How about the lady behind me with even more items than mine? You waved her through in less than 30 seconds. You counted all the items in her cart, you say? That Costco membership is looking better and better.

    In a positive note, the products at the deli are great. On the negative side, the assistants who work in the deli need some education on slicing, speed and attention to the customer. For example, there is usually one person and often a line waiting. Almost every person who slices is very slow. This happens at both the BJ's where I shop. The one in Brier Creek and the BJ's on Capital Blvd... Raleigh, NC. Sometimes, there is more than one person behind the counter, but the second person is attending to other duties while everyone waits.

    There is sometimes conversation between the employees, or employee and customer that holds up the customers. A little friendliness goes a long way. When asking for a pound of one or more of the products, a pound and a quarter is not acceptable. On one occasion, I bought approximately 6 or 7 lbs of cold cuts/cheeses. Every item was 1/4 lb over. Customers in line are usually talking about the slow speed and long wait that is the norm... as am I. Thank you.

    I’m extremely dissatisfied with the entire ordeal that I’m STILL going through with the Abingdon BJs Tire location. My husband blew a tire on 95 6/28, we’ve always had a great experience in the past so it was a no brainer to call our local BJs store and ask for help. First off, the associate who answered the phone on 6/28 at 530pm was extremely rude, lazy, and downright opposite of what we’ve experienced before. He stated that if we wanted tires, go online and set it all up because ‘I don't have time for you’. Then we stated our emergency situation and he asked why he should care. We hung up extremely frustrated, figured it wouldn't be hard to figure out online and hoped that we wouldn’t get that associate when we dropped off the car.

    The second disappointment came when we tried to make an appointment and nothing was available until 7/5. Knowing we had to go a week with a donut on the car was unnerving while carting two young children along. Then the night before the appointment, I received an email from BJs confirming my appointment for 7/5. Okay, at this point I thought things were turning around and this professional courtesy was definitely setting a better tone. We have an appointment at 630 and show up at 615pm. The associate greets my husband and asks if he has an appointment, he replies yes, then proceeds to check our Appointment. He asks if we received an email that the tires were delivered. We advised we received the appointment confirmation, the receipt for the transaction, but nothing else.

    The guy starts going on a rant that he doesn’t have time for this, they are short handed and everyone in the tire center is lazy, he gets no support from management and everyone is starting to have a poor experience. I ask what can we do to rectify the situation? Where are the tires? When do shipments come in? He proceeds to shrug and say he is just a mechanic and can’t help us. If the tires aren’t here, he can’t do anything for us. He refused to call any additional assistance whether his supervisor or the store manager, when we asked he said he is busy and can’t be bothered. We leave the tire store and walk to the store front and speak to the on duty operations manager who was very kind and did try to search through the entire delivery area in case it was delivered store side instead of tire side.

    He took our names and phone numbers and said he would reach out the following day, offered a gas card for the wasted trip but we declined. Thinking it was just a slight misunderstanding and we would have our tires the next day. Friday comes and goes with no follow through from the tire store or the main store, Saturday we call in the morning and are told it’s the first time anyone is hearing about our problem but the only way to find the tires is to call the online support team because the store has nothing to do with the orders.

    We were told we needed to call and they couldn’t assist in any way. So we call the online support center and were told that the tires are unable to be tracked but if we call back at 1pm on Sunday, there will be a manager on duty that can assist. I’m trying to be patient and wait calmly for someone to find these tires but my patience is growing thin. Not only is this a poor customer service event but you're increasingly placing my family in jeopardy with making us continue to use of a donut for a tire on an everyday use car with a max speed of 45mph. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had and will make sure that it’s a known experience until something is changed in the process.

I want concentrate my point that nothing changed for today. Also a lot of frustrated shopping carts throughout the parking area. But when you come inside into the store (that area, where supposed shopping carts to be - is empty) and I have to come back and grab cart from the parking.

    We have a little kid and he loves to pretend that he is driver, when we do shopping with special shopping cart designed with a toy car in a front. BJ's has only few of them. And every time we come that carts becomes more and more in horrible condition. Finally, instead to chance for a new ones they disappear completely. But all that complaints above are nothing in comparison our yesterday’s experience. As usual no shopping carts in the designated area.

    Big unpleasant surprise was later. BJ's changed human cashier for a self service machine. We stayed in a line for 40 minutes, although we were second in a line!!! What I noticed wasted my time in a line??? That every customer asked for help during scanning products on every second thing. That’s why the line becomes longer and longer. Surely it was two or three lines with a real cashier, but it is not enough for that amount of customers. BJ's corporate wants to save money not paying salaries for cashiers, but it is no good for us, customers. I am thinking to stop shopping in BJ's if they doesn’t resolve that issue.

    I will never do business with BJ's Wholesale Club Tire Center again. First, they never answer the phone during regular business hours. They are always too busy to take walk-in service, and they work on an appointment system that is often a week or more backlogged, but, because they don't answer the phone, you must go there, make an appointment, then come back to have the work done. Very frustrating waste of time. Also, I was required to pre-pay for tires they didn't even have in inventory, and for which they couldn't provide a definitive ETA.

    I had a 3-month-old tire replaced under warranty a few months ago. I dropped the wheel off and was told to come back to pick it up at a specific time. When I returned, they hadn't start the work yet. Rather than apologize, the tech behind the counter had an extremely confrontational and condescending attitude. After talking to the store manager, he agreed to "expedite" my replacement... the next day. When I arrived the next day they had replaced my tire with one that had a COMPLETELY different tread pattern, claiming that it was "approved" by the manufacturer as an equivalent tire. Note that this is a front tire, and that two substantially different tread patterns affect handling. I looked it up later and found that it was a substantially cheaper tire. Fed up with their incompetence, indifference and unprofessional behavior, I chose not to continue arguing and told them to put it on my truck.

    A week later I lowered my tailgate and found that they had put the spare in the bed of my truck rather than re-mount it underneath where it belongs. I had a similar terrible experience with my wife's tires a few months before. In the future I'll chose to pay more to do business with a company who employees techs who know what they're doing, and who actually take some pride in what they do.

    My family purchased a Vizio 39" tv on 4/3/18. It was for $199.99. I come to find out Walmart had the same exact tv identical model for an everyday price of $179.99. My family called BJ's and asked them if they priced matched. They were very rude and arrogant. They said, “No.” I called the store and asked them who do they think they are speaking to with that type of behavior. I demanded a supervisor and I explained everything. She kept on trying to tell me that was a sale price at Walmart. I told her it was an everyday price and confirmed it with Walmart and still on the phone she had an attitude. Then she said, “I will check with my general manager. He'll call you tomorrow 4/4/18 at 2:00pm.” He never called.

    I called the store. The general manager did not want to get on the phone. The assistant manager said to me, “We will not price match.” Mind you BJ's is a wholesale club. In my opinion they are deceiving customers. I will never buy an appliance again there. The is my first year of membership. Now they refuse to give me my membership money back. I will never buy there again. It’s a rip off, scamming people. Good luck! I brought back the tv and got my money back! Beware people. Compare prices. They'll rip you off with no shame.

    Purchased an LG dryer online on January 31st. The dryer was delivered and installed on February 22, when I attempted to use it the next day it kept tripping the breaker. Had the breaker looked at, no problem. The problem was the cord was broken while being installed. Called and they sent someone out from the installation company on 3/17 and he confirmed that not only was cord improperly installed but there was a plate that was broken. He took pictures and sent them back to company. Have called BJ's numerous times and they say that the new dryer has to come from LG and they haven't heard from them. So here it is the beginning of April and I still have no dryer but I had to pay my credit card bill so they have their money. I will NEVER again purchase anything major at BJ's.

    On 2/19 I purchased an item online described with a specific product model #. Item was part of a kit consisting of a leaf blower, weed trimmer, and 2 batteries. Item shipped late and finally arrived 03/02. Well something arrived. They shipped wrong item... Different part # consisting of trimmer and DIFFERENT, inferior leaf blower and only one (smaller) battery. I immediately contact phone CS and they said they made a mistake and listed and sold me the wrong item - and that the item that arrived WAS the correct item. I was offered $25 credit to keep it. HA! Blower is inferior and missing battery had a replacement value of $60. NO THANKS! I was emailed a UPS return label with RMA. I printed it out and it went in mail next day.

    Item was large and return shipping was VERY slow, but on 3/12 item was signed for and received. BJ's stated within 2 business days after return was received I should have my refund. On 3/14 I received email asking why I hadn't shipped the return back yet. On 3/15 I contacted phone customer service and told them my story and asked why I still had no refund. I was assured by end of 3/19 I would be refunded. It's 3/22 and today I received another email requesting my return to be shipped - and I still have no refund. This is beginning to sound like a charge-back will be necessary. I am very thankful UPS tracking is much more reliable than BJ's. I am just wondering how are they still in business?

    I'm completely dissatisfied with a former club I belonged to. BJ's Wholesale Club is a joke that falsely advertises to their customers. I went in to buy a mattress and box spring set advertised with a manufacturer coupon for 100 dollars off... Still a $299 purchase. I started in Riverhead where they searched the store and found no box spring to sell with the mattress. Then I tried Bellport who also had no box spring for the mattress. They tell me they will be getting a shipment of mattress one month then box springs the next. Who wants to wait 2 months to get a mattress and box spring to sleep on when they advertise the SET?

    Then I call corporate to see if they can keep a customer and the only thing they could do was look up locations that have the set upstate New York and tell me it's the club's fault when the club blames corporate. Needless to say I have terminated my membership and will deal with a competitor that will appreciate my business as a customer. If you have a BJs membership I recommend you open your eyes to what they are doing to you and if you don't like the way they are treating you as a customer CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

    We had been members of BJ's Wholesale Club in Sarasota, FL, since 2007. Until recently our relationship had always been good. The staff was friendly and the prices were decent. Returns were easily handled. Our friendly relationship with BJ's began to deteriorate in June, 2017. We discovered BJ's own store-branded “Berkley & Jensen” alkaline batteries in our television remote control had leaked or exploded and caused a deep, permanent acid burn in top of our media center. We immediately contacted the store manager. At his request, we emailed him a statement explaining exactly what happened, along with photos of the damage and batteries, and a scan of the sales receipt for our media center. In addition, we included a photo of even more B&J batteries that we subsequently found were leaking inside their original packaging. All the batteries were well within their marked shelf life, and all had been properly used and stored.

    BJ's never bothered to contact us again. Instead, we were contacted by a third-party negotiator, Sedgwick Claims Management in Pennsylvania. We again emailed all the details, plus a $600 repair estimate. Sedgwick, however, seemed to have only one job: to get rid of us. Instead of dealing with the issue directly, Sedgwick told us to contact the battery manufacturer in China—despite that BJ's store-branded batteries did not list a manufacturer. As we discovered in our legal research, all parties—retailer, shipper, manufacturer—have potential liability regarding defective products. But BJ's and Sedgwick were not interested in any of that.

    We emailed Zhongyin Ningbo Battery & Electrical Appliance Co in China. They requested, once again, all the information on the incident, which we sent. Plus they wanted the actual leaking/exploded batteries shipped to them for “examination”. The shipping company told us what we already expected: that hazardous materials such as this cannot be shipped. After explaining that to Ningbo, they eventually offered us $100 for our troubles. We countered their offer and have heard nothing from them since.

    So there you have it: BJ's does not stand by their products. More and more of the products sold at BJ's carry their own store brand, and you may have no idea what company actually makes the product. We also found, too late for us, that BJ's batteries have a history of being defective. In addition, BJ's membership agreement contains an arbitration clause that severely limits a customer's ability to recover damages for defective products that cause damage. Nice. Bottom line, If you are looking to join a wholesale club, check out their membership agreement and any complaints from members.

    This review is only for the optical department because no major problems in other departments. I tried to take advantage of what they called a half price offer for a pair of glasses. I ended up paying over $400 for all the specifics of the kind I got and that included the half price and two other discounts! When I called another Warehouse Club to compare all the specifics of the kind of glasses I got I was quoted a price of about $50 less and that is their regular price! The other problem at my local BJ's Optical department is that one person there acts like a robot! So they do not even respond appropriately when you talk to them. Thus I would say steer clear of BJ's Optical because they are not a discount place and also they charge higher prices for comparable eyeglass frames than the other store I mentioned!

I explained all of this to the girl at customer service. She explained I could shop and the cost would be $5.00. Ok. I agreed. I used my debit card and off we went shopping.

Why would I join? I called the store to question the charges after I explained it to the girl that answered the phone. She said, "Hold on." Didn't ask for any of my personal information. Just hold on. There I sat for 25 mins before hanging up.

I was there 1 time in your store and I want a refund - end of story." He said, "Ok. I will call you back and let you know when you will get your refund." I asked him when and he said today...

    We have belonged to a BJ's Wholesale Club for a good 15 plus years (not at same location) and we are not going to renew this December when our membership expires. It is too frustrating to shop at a store that you pay to shop in but still have to cut coupons. Even more frustrating is the coupon books come in the mail and have different expiration dates. We have to go through 2 books of coupons since they overlap and then there are coupons in other books that you get in mail or at the store. I have received emails about downloading app so coupons can be saved there but I can not sign in. It does not take the membership number, my email and name. We find this very frustrating and we spend hours going through all these coupons. If items are on special why don't they just ring up on special - why these frustrating coupons?

    Not only do we frustrate ourselves for hours 1 -2 times a month but when getting receipt you can not tell which coupon items have been scanned. The check-out clerks can not force coupons to go through and try to hand back ones that didn't work so then there is a trip to the customer service desk where you have to wait again. BJ's can just lower their prices on certain items or have a sale with NO COUPONS. This has driven us away from continuing our membership.

    We shop here EVERY month for groceries with 6 children. We do not get any assistance and live on my VA disability so we have to budget. As a veteran I get a discount on the membership so we get the 2% back membership and almost every month, because of what we spend for groceries and other sundries and household items, we get a rewards increment (paid oUT in $20 increments). This past April (2017) we spent upwards of $500 and our rewards thing on the receipt tells us you need to spend (this amount) to next reward and the previous receipt said we needed just over $400. When I went back later in the month for milk and stuff, I fully expected to see that rewards there for me to use. Our membership never recorded that entire purchase! I had the previous receipt to compare it to.

    We went into the store with this info and was told that sometimes it can take a while to show. Still nothing by the next month and gave up on it and the ONLY way to explain this huge discrepancy was the employee used her own membership card instead of mine. By the time we came to this realization we didn't have those receipts to compare the membership numbers (at the time I never paid attention that it's actually printed on the receipt).

    Since then I have watched as I hand my card to them and ensure they scan it. Well just a few days ago I firmly believe it would've happened again had I not been paying attention. We already had the belt full and I handed over my membership card. She took it, stood there holding it behind both her hands instead of scanning it and handing it back. I counted in my head. She stood like that for 51 seconds before she scanned the card and handed it back. And we were waiting for her to start scanning items so we could put the rest on the belt.

    In this particular case instead of scanning and packing she did something unusual where she took the hand scanner and worked her way down the belt. Since we budget I add our cost as we go to try and ensure we know how much to expect to pay at checkout and to ensure we don't get overcharged. That simply struck me as odd. Now, I haven't seen any other complaints of this but I am willing to bet it happens pretty often since most people hand off their card and go about loading the belt, not watching the cashier. My recommendation is to physically watch them scan your membership!

    BJ's promotes its credit card in all of its stores. They promise cashback rewards in addition to $.10 off the price of gas at its pumps. The gas is, in fact, discounted; however, you receive no cash back for gas purchases. Moreover, when you finally spend enough to get to the $20.00 cash back, the reward cannot be used to pay down your balance on the card, as you can on other cards and you must spend $20.00 all at once in-store to receive the bonus. In other words, after working hard to get the $20.00 cash back reward, you have to give it right back to BJ's. And the reward expires in six months and cannot be reissued!

And why did I waste an entire hour filling my cart in the first place? Every other food item I looked at was at or very close to expiration!!!

Packaged ham, bacon, cheese, juice, milk, virtually every item I had to dig thru to attempt to find a decent expiration date. The Thomas english muffins (18 pack) had 5 days left. And this was a full sized bread cart fully stocked.

    After 15 minutes in line they finally opened another check out and I got there first. I told the girl, "This place is really going down hill." And that all the food had very short or expired expiration dates, she just looked and smiled. If this is the way "members" are treated by BJ's, I can't imagine how bad it would be if they operated a regular grocery store where they don't gouge you for yearly membership!

    For a company like BJ's which is third behind Sam's and Costco and has a new CEO I don't think not listening to the customers' voices might speak the end of BJ's. I, am thinking of not renewing our membership and going to Sam's Club in the future. When your upper management does not want to hear from its members it does not say a great thing about this company.

    I purchased a pair glasses and pick them up by their records in June. Today is July 31. I don't wear these glasses. Deli in the frames are ready came apart from the glasses appear to be Sarder. They want to charge me $15 to replace frames that I don't wear them that often and already broke in less than 20 days of wearing time. It is a defect but it happened after deer 30 days. I guess I should've bought him the whole 30 days to see how their product stands out. Very dissatisfied customer. I'll never buy frames again from BJ's and I guess it's my fault because I should've looked at the ratings and they weren't high for the optical department. Lesson learned.

    I am furious over the non working online coupon system. I went through the process of logging in, viewing 182 coupons, selecting a lousy 10 coupons to print, entered my phone number, received the verification code, entered it and NOTHING. So I called customer service which has a phone system hell for 10 minutes before getting a live person... No. I was connected to billing who was of no help. I was then told that she would give me another number to call??? When I refused that she said she could conference me into the correct department - did she??? NO. I did tell both reps that this has irritated me so much that I will not buy a subscription for next year since Sam's Club is just as close to my home. DO NOT TRY TO REDEEM COUPONS ONLINE OR PRINT THEM - NO BJ'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL. In total I wasted 45 minutes of my life.

    Your mailer does not include sale prices. With nothing to compare to, ads that say "$N off" don't give me the information I need. I'm sure you hope I'll drive to your store to find out this information and spend on unplanned purchases. I won't. Instead, I toss your mailer in the recycle bin without looking through it.

    I am disappointed by the tire service in the East Rutherford BJ's I received on July 14, 2017. I needed one tire repair which took more than three hours to complete. Three hours I sat in the tire store watching dozens of customers come in and there was only one person able to sell tires/answer the phone/answer customer questions and on top of that go back and forth to fix my tire. I am completely frustrated by this extraordinary poor service. I bought all four of my tires from BJ's with the belief that I would be able to receive great service but it was the complete opposite.

    I got into a line where the woman was already checking out, didn't know she had a coupon for every item she bought. Needed assistance 3 times and all 3 times the big guy that was suppose to be assisting was just spacing out. The 3rd time I got out of line and went to a young lady who was also there and asked if she could just help this woman. After close to 8 minutes she finally finished. I tried starting the check out process while her things were still on the belt. (I have seen employees start putting thing in the cart before, this lady definitely needed help but the big guy liked staring into space better.) After the 2nd time trying to start the check out process I got a 'put item aside, someone will assist', took a deep breath and tried a 3rd time and the item went through.

    Scanned the rest of my items and big guy comes over asking if I need help. I say no, not realizing that since the light is flashing, I cannot finish paying for my order. Big guy, you should have realized this since this is your job. Once realizing this I walk back up to the young lady and said, rather exasperated I will admit, and said "can you just take care of that so I can pay". She looks at me and says “what did you say? that is what I am trying to do and I am not even on the clock!” Ok, you got the BJ's shirt on, hanging out, I am suppose to know you aren't working? Sorry I was taking my frustration out on you but big guy was clueless. When I finally left, big guy was chatting up the Dunkin' Donuts employee. Another dedicated BJ's employee.

One item I doubled couponed (because I had two of the items), she voided out my entire $300 purchase. I asked her to void the doubled coupon and she stated she needs to void everything and I need to rescan all my items. For a $1 coupon...

They stated it would be resolved within 24-48 hours. Now I understand why the manager has not responded.

However, the workers there were very confident that I bought 4 and they said they even checked the security camera. I asked if they wanted to see the only 3 bottles that I bought and they said "no, that's fine".

    I was shopping at BJ's in Jensen Beach, FL, when I was approached by a man who was wearing a BJ's badge. He said the store was promoting a MasterCard offered by Comenity Capital Bank. I looked on his badge. His name was Carl. He went on to explain if approved, the credit card would come with a 7.99 Apr for In store purchases, plus double cashback, if you bought electronics. I asked if the Apr was accurate and real, Carl assured me that it was. I applied on the spot, was approved and spent almost 400 dollars. I also asked if my credit report would be pulled, he said "no it's a soft hit."

    When the card arrived, and I read the enclosed information on my Apr I was shocked to see it was 25.24%. Thinking this was some sort of mistake I called the number on the back of the card. I spoke with Sam from Comenity Bank. I spoke of my concerns about the incorrect Apr. Sam told me he saw I was approved for the Apr but he would have to speak to someone on how to correct the problem. Sam put me on hold, for a bit, when he came back to our call, he apologized and said that promotion was no longer in effect. Sam said the promotion had discontinued for a while.

    I was very upset, and he transferred me to someone else who basically said nothing could done, and they wouldn't lower my Apr or contact credit bureau about the hard pull of my report. I said "I felt deceived." What about everyone else who was lied to on January 21, 2017? How many others got roped into this deceptive and fraudulent scam? I called BJ's and no one knew about the credit card scam, the mgr confirmed to me that the Apr was not 7.99% as promised.

    BJ's represents itself as a "wholesale warehouse club" and charges an annual membership fee. What I am unable to understand is how is a wholesale club, representing itself as offering the lowest wholesale prices in exchange for the annual fee, have and offer substantial numbers of discount coupons for products which it regularly carries. They can't actually be doing both and also making a substantial profit. It seems to me that BJ's is charging (membership fee) for something that that don't really offer (lowest wholesale prices). BJ's mails out discount coupon booklets approximately monthly.

    I recently purchased a Samsung television at BJ's for what I was led to believe via a $100 discount coupon, that I was getting a great deal at $229. The part hard to accept is that about a week later I saw that very same television at Wal-Mart regularly priced at $218.99. Retail pricing, by its nature, is higher than wholesale pricing. This is not the only time I have felt cheated at BJ's but it is the reason I have not renewed my membership.

For years I would let the rewards program points accrue until my membership renewal time and cash in the reward points once a year when my membership was renewed. Unknown to me BJ's changed the rewards points program to have the points expire after six months, (use them or lose them). But I am still expected to pay for a membership fee on an annual basis. I think the membership fee and the reward points should have the same longevity cycle.
