Sam’s Club management really needs to control this…… I came to the Dickson City location for a pickup order, NO PARKING SPOTS IN THE PICK UP AREA, the fat, lazy ** customers that are afraid to walk 50 feet are parking in the pickup spots, I go to get my pickup order order & zero parking spots, this is absolutely ridiculous & totally unacceptable! Start towing them, every car that was parked in the pickup spots was completely empty, so they were inside shopping & again, too lazy to walk!

Sam's Club is a great place to shop because it offers several convenient checkout options, including using your phone, traditional cashiers, or self-service attendants. That flexibility is a big advantage. Leaving the store is also quick and hassle-free. In terms of product quality, Sam's Club carries many well-known brands as well as its Members Mark brand. So far, all the products we have purchased have met or exceeded our expectations in quality. One area that could be improved is the way customers are greeted in some stores. Since English is the language used in the United States, I believe customer interactions should consistently begin in English, while still accommodating customers who prefer other languages when needed.

Would like to recognize Cassandra from Colonial Heights VA for providing truly exceptional customer service. If there were a score higher than 100, she would deserve it. From the moment we entered the club, Cassandra greeted every member with a warm smile and genuine kindness. She went above and beyond her duties by assisting members with carts, answering questions, and making everyone feel welcome. What stood out most was seeing her patiently help an elderly woman who appeared to be struggling. She treated her with compassion, respect, and care.
Cassandra's positive attitude brightened the entire store. She was not only helpful to me, but to every member she encountered. It was clear that she genuinely cares about people and takes pride in her work. Her friendliness created a welcoming atmosphere, and I noticed many customers smiling and responding positively to her greetings.
My family and I have shopped at this club many times, and Cassandra is one of the few employees who consistently acknowledges members and makes them feel valued. She is professional, hardworking, and has a truly kind heart. Please recognize Cassandra for her outstanding service. She is an excellent representative of Sam's Club and a wonderful example of what great customer service should look like. Employees like her make customers want to keep coming back.

Great service at Sam’s Club! Scan & Go is honestly the best feature and their customer service completely blew my mind. We accidentally scanned a product twice and didn’t realize it until we got home. We went back to the store, explained what happened, and they adjusted the price with no hassle at all. We had a very similar situation at Costco before — a product was scanned twice, we noticed after getting home, and when we went back they told us we should have caught it before leaving the store. Sam’s Club simply honored our word and made it right. That level of trust and customer care really stands out. Definitely appreciated!

I shop at Sam's Club in Brunswick, Ga quite often. I do not have any complaints about the employees. Every time I had to interact with the employees, they have been very pleasant. Each time I checked out of Sam's Club, my bill was never less than $100 plus. Check the records. However, your policy about the Sam's cash is outdated. When I tried to use the Sam's cash, after presenting my ID, the supervisor said the primary person needed to be present. When my husband and I opened the account, years ago, no one mentioned anything about the primary person. I consider myself primary. We have been married for 40 plus years, I don't need my husband's permission to buy anything and therefore, I shouldn't have to have him present to use the Sam's cash that's a percentage of my spending at the store.
In 1974, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed giving women the legal rights to open credit cards and bank accounts without their spouse co-signing. Now, you have a policy, at Sam's in 2026, that in order for a person to use the Sam's cash, they have to be listed as the primary. Our account is joint. We are married, my ID proves that we are living together showing the same address and last name, what other proof do you need? I have shopped at Sam's on several occasions and had credit that I refused to use because of the hassle that the primary person can only use the Sam's cash.
My husband doesn't shop at Sam's anymore, I do. When we initially opened the account, I paid. He never came home to tell me he needed me present to cash out a credit. Why is that? Women don't ask men for permission to buy things anymore. Please get with the new laws and reevaluate your policy. I have decided not to shop at Sam's anymore. I don't need the aggravation.

I ordered dog food. I paid extra money to have it delivered within 3hrs just to have it never come, and they just kept saying it was delayed by 45 minutes. Because they delayed so long, I never got my dog food. I used my last money to order this did for my dogs. When I contacted customer service, I basically got too bad so sad. I'm going tomorrow. I want a refund for my membership; they are a bunch of crooks. I should have known not to trust a Walmart company.

I paid for four tires and Made an appointment for the same day but when I got to tire center they said did not have an appointment for my truck. I called customer service but after spending 35 minutes it is very disappointing. I lost a day of work and drove 100 miles extra. Very bad service of Sam’s Club. Don’t buy tires at Sam’s Club.

I had two Sam’s accounts we closed one two years ago. At the time my wife and I were in different states and when we sold our first house and I moved so we were back together, we no longer needed two accounts. So we closed one. On July 17, 2026 Sam’s charged me 128.94 to renew a closed account. Then refused to fix it. No account listed and a verified charge on our checking account. After a month of run around and no help they have my money.
My second account I’ve had since 2005 which is renewed by charging my card. I will have to eat the loss. I’m on a fixed income but I guess they needed my money more than I did. Even after proving they made a mistake they kept my money. I will no longer do business with Sam’s Club or Walmart. This is a loss of thousands for them probably not going to affect their bottom line much but I will not be cheated by a company that takes a retired man’s money then keeps it without providing any information about why they took it where it went. Shoppers beware. My wife signed up for automatic renewals but they used that renewal two years after the account was closed. Now they admit the account was closed but still took my money and will not return it.

A very stressful experience met with a Sam’s Club employee who went over and beyond to help. Art was the best! Wanted to write and thank him in hopes he gets acknowledged by his employer for doing such a great job. Arthur or Art is his name and works at the Little Rock location. We bought tires from Sam’s Club and then got a flat. Brought it in and Art took really good care of us. Very kind and helpful and he made an awful day a lot better.

I visited the Sam's Club in Independence, Missouri, on three separate occasions to register my business as tax-exempt. Unfortunately, each visit was unsuccessful because I was repeatedly asked to provide documentation that was not required and that my business does not possess. The employees assisting me should have been familiar with the correct requirements, which resulted in unnecessary delays and wasted my time. Before my third visit, I contacted the appropriate state agency to confirm exactly what documentation was required. When I returned and provided the information given by the state, an employee named Paul (last name unknown) became argumentative. Rather than assisting me professionally, he raised his voice and yelled at me during our conversation, which I found to be unacceptable and unprofessional.
Following this incident, I asked to speak with the store manager. However, no employee was able or willing to provide the manager's name or assist me in contacting them. I am disappointed with the level of customer service I received. My concerns are not only about the incorrect information I was given over multiple visits, but also about the unprofessional behavior I experienced and the lack of management assistance. I respectfully request that this matter be investigated, that employees receive appropriate training on the tax-exempt registration process, and that appropriate action be taken to ensure other customers do not experience similar issues.

Went to Sam’s Club for a simple tire service and had my spare put on—somehow they ended up breaking my lug bolts. That’s not just careless, that’s a serious safety issue. What’s worse is they’re not taking accountability or offering a real solution. Now I’m left dealing with damage that THEY caused. Definitely not the level of service I expected.

Purchased a Thor outdoor kitchen for $3999. Saw same item on sale at a BBQGuys for $700 less. Sam’s online matched and gave me Sam’s cash. The same day I received the order, the item went on sale. A few days later, price was reduced to $1216. I asked for the difference and they reluctantly provided a refund to my visa for $516. A week later, it was reduced by $1662. I asked for the additional $450 and they were adamant they would not provide this additional amount. Original price $3999 to sale price $2336. I do not feel I was treated fairly. All of this was within 10 days of my original purchase.

I have been a member since 2005 and every 2 weeks spent no less than $700. The cost of membership keeps increasing as well as all the items in the store. Membership is now $120 unless you're an illegal then it’s FREE! I am senior citizen and was told there is no discount because getting old is NOT breaking the law so therefore not rewarded with free membership or discount. I tried using discount for membership with Groupon, paid $55. However, Sam’s Club will not honor the discount, now I am going through hoops to get my $55 back. Social Security does not pay much to senior citizens so I HAVE to watch my money.

⚠️SAM’S CLUB TIRE SERVICE SAFETY CONCERN⚠️. After waiting 45 minutes for my tire installation, I was told the employees did not have the proper tools to remove my tires. Their solution? Go to another auto shop, have the lug nuts loosened, then DRIVE BACK to Sam’s Club so they could install the tires. Yes—you read that correctly. I was advised to drive with loosened lug nuts. When I explained how dangerous and ridiculous that suggestion was, I was told my other options were to get a refund or buy the tires and install them myself. This was not simply poor customer service. It was unsafe, irresponsible advice that could have put me and others on the road in danger. I have been a Sam’s Club member for years, but this experience was completely unacceptable. Sam’s Club needs to address the lack of proper equipment, employee training, and basic concern for customer safety before someone gets seriously hurt.

I would like to sincerely thank Christy at the Sawgrass location for her outstanding customer service. She was patient, friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly to me. I was concerned because my annual membership fee had increased from $60 to $120. I truly appreciate her help in explaining the situation. The mistake may even have been mine, but she remained kind, smiled throughout our conversation, and explained everything with great patience and professionalism. Thank you so much, Christy. Your excellent service is truly appreciated.

Online tonight to try again for Pokemon drop an hour early. I was kicked and never able to load back in. How is it that your long-term customers don't have a chance for this? Most people sign up right when they know it's happening. Limiting was great. Them bots have the money to have whatever amount of accounts. It's not right! I am writing this for my mother-in-law, as she was the one trying to buy. Site crashed, and it was sold out in 15 minutes tops? We need better for actual customers. Thank you.

I use the curbside service at the Orlando store on West Colonial Dr. They have repeatedly messed up my orders. I have spoken with the “manager”, Pedro, about the service I have received. But actually he was the one that messed up my last order. When I questioned him about missing items, he said he put it in my trunk already. When I told him he didn’t, he demanded to see my order on my phone. When I showed it to him, he handed me back my phone and said he’d get my missing items. He then got my missing items, put it in my trunk and walked away, no apology or anything. Just simply walked away. So I called management to once again complain about the curbside service.
Finally got someone who barely speaks English, and he assures me he will take care of it. He ASSURES me that something will be done and that “customers are very important”. Well I’m here to say that after 5 more calls with “upper management” nothing was ever done. Their customer service is non existent, and NOBODY ever answers the phone inside the club. Save your money and aggravation and try the other big box stores.

So I just joined Sam’s Club, it’s close to me and I drive so need it for the gas prices. That’s why I didn’t give a 1 star. So past two times I went to get gas they have put a $100 hold on my funds from my debit card. Plus the actual total of what I needed for gas. Gas I paid went thru but a week later they still have a $100 dollar hold on my account. They say it’s the banks fault. How can it be the banks fault when Sam’s Club is putting that hold on your card. I regret joining them. I’m going back to Costco. There is also the fact they never have enough open gas tanks and how to read where to go when you get there.

We closed account. We had noticed a drop in quality of items in the last couple of years. The final straw so to speak was when our Sam's credit card was closed by synchrony bank. We had never had a late payment and paid off bills each month. Synchrony claimed a risk assessment and they closed our credit accounts for no reason. We did an internet search and apparently the risk assessment is conducted on good paying customers because the bank is not making any money. We talked with Sam's as the Sam's credit card had their name on it. But they said it wasn't the bank not them and transferred us to the bank. We decided to close Sam's account and was told they will not renew but there is no refund as account will remain open until January when membership runs out.
When I decided to write corporate there is no one to write to and make a complaint. We spent around 12000 a year in Sam's club food and other items. We also bought tires and gas. Not anymore. I know my worth as a customer and Sam's does not value its customers. The quality of everything has went down and they took us for granted. We can shop elsewhere.

Shame on me, I didn’t realize that the Sam’s Club membership I bought several years ago had been automatically renewing all this time. I’m furious that I didn’t receive any notification about that and that I didn’t get a chance to consent to it. I did get a refund for the most recent renewal, but probably literally flushed over $100 down the drain for the previous two years of auto renewals. We never felt like Sam’s was worth the price. Groceries at Aldi are way cheaper.

Today 7/6/26 I purchased Kellogg’s Raisin Bran cereal since there was a sign above the cereal with a sign that clearly read price $6.48 showing regular price $8.48 less $2.00 discount. After getting home I realized the price on my receipt was $8.48. I immediately called customer service to verify price and was told price was showing on computer as $8.48. I asked if someone could check the Raisin Bran store display and verify that sign was above which read price of $6.48 with $2.00 discount. She eventually said she would get someone to check but after 36 minutes there was no one responding to her request do in my opinion their was no request for anyone to check…. I believe if a price check was requested an employee would have answered since that’s part of the job.
The customer service representative came back to the phone and got my information and said I would get a return phone call. Now 3 hours later and no call! This may seem very small in some people eyes 👀 but I expect to pay the price listed in the display no more no less.. Please watch what you are being charged at Sam’s Club!! Just always check your receipts to make sure you are not overpaying… Yes this may have been a sign not removed after a sale but I should not have to pay the original price. I am going to shop Sam’s Club less often they do not deserve my business until they hire and retain customer service reps who actually DO THEIR JOBS!!!!

I am beyond frustrated with the curbside pickup here in Southfield MI located on 8 Mile Rd. I waited in my car for 50 minutes before finally giving up and leaving empty-handed. Shortly after I drove away, I received an automated email claiming my order was completed at 3:59 p.m. I tried calling the store repeatedly to speak with a manager, but no one ever answered the phone. I was essentially charged for the item I never got. I had to call the 800 number the following day and deal with an automated AI service just to get my money back. This is a completely broken system. Save yourself the headache and just go inside to shop or take your business elsewhere.

I will never, ever set foot in or order from Sam's Club again. I have know that they are inferior to Costco for almost 30 years, but recently I found it was just easier to get in and out of Sam's...Because NO ONE is in these stores. I have had a membership and it has been my custom to order office supplies and snacks delivered to my office. In recent months delivery has never been on time, it is usually incomplete, and it is often delivered to the wrong business. Now I have an outstanding order that is marked as delivered but I never received. I am told I cannot get help until I pay to renew my membership. They will not replace or refund the missing order until I renew a membership, which didn't expire until AFTER my order was purchased, paid for and should have been received.

Very discouraged with the customer service for online orders. I received my online order damaged. It was canned chicken. One of the cans was dented so badly it was leaking all over. I called the customer service number. I was transferred to a customer service rep who told me I would receive a refund and that since the item was perishable, I did not need to return it. After waiting 2 weeks and still no refund, I called customer service again. Was on hold for 20 minutes, before talking with someone regarding my refund. I was told that the first person I had talked to had mistakenly marked the box that stated I must return the item. I had not received my refund because I had not returned the item. It went downhill from there. This 2nd person said had it straightened out and that my refund was on the way. Keep in mind, that most of these customer service folks are out of the country and speak very broken English.
Well, after 2 more weeks and still no refund, I called again. This time I was on hold for 35 minutes. This person told me that the refund was processed so there was nothing she could do. I explained I had NOT received any credit back to the card I had used for this purchase. She said she was sorry and valued my Sam's membership, but I would have to go my bank and submit a list of my transactions, proving I had not received this refund. She said she would send me a link to my email as to where I could send my bank statement of transactions. I never received the email she said she was sending. I have no desire to even go through this hassle and run-around of trying to get my money back. I will not ever use online ordering again. My experience with Costco Customer Service has it all over Sam's. I'll stick with Costco.

I had a disappointing experience with Sam’s Club in Lake Nona Florida and feel other consumers should be aware. I visited the store intending to purchase a grill, but the only available unit was visibly damaged. I brought the damage to the attention of store staff and asked whether they could offer a discount because of the condition of the product. I was told they would only sell the grill at full price. Since there were no other grills available, I left without making a purchase. What concerns me most is that after the damage was pointed out and acknowledged, the grill remained on the sales floor and continued to be offered for sale to other customers.
I later contacted the company directly to express my concerns and give them an opportunity to address the issue. Unfortunately, I never received any response—not even a basic acknowledgment that my message had been received. My concern is not simply that a damaged item was available for sale. Merchandise can occasionally be damaged. My concern is that the item continued to be offered at full price after the damage was brought to the company’s attention, and that the company chose not to respond when the issue was raised afterward. Based on this experience, I was disappointed by both the handling of damaged merchandise and the lack of customer service.
