    I am tired of the crap they pull. Twice I have called to ask a question. The first time I called, I was put on hold while they checked. I waited 10 minutes without a response. I figured they were really busy, give them the benefit of doubt. Then a few days later, I called again and the same thing happened!! I guess they figure you will hang up after so long.

    This location has gone downhill fast! Every-time I do a pickup order either they forgot items or they are out of stock. I am disabled so going into the store isn't always an option. They don't have enough riding carts for people like me to use. They have messed up so much that I have a manager's personal phone number as well as the manager over the pickup department. Today was the last straw for us. Three items were "shipped" because my location didn't have them in stock. They came from Long Beach and were delivered at 7:05pm however only 2 items were delivered. I called Long Beach and they kept putting me on hold then hanging up as it was about 10 mins before they closed.

    So I called La Habra and spoke to Samantha. She was extremely rude! I explained what happened and she told me to call Long Beach. I explained I had been calling them. I requested that she please reach out and get someone on the line so I could explain what happened. She then told me "no I can't and it's not my problem". So I called customer service again for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. That was another disaster! They are resourced out to other countries so trying to get someone who understands you is impossible. I had to explain myself 4 different times. I told Josh (the rep I was talking to) I didn't want a refund. He kept trying to give me one. At this point I'm ready to cancel my membership with them!

    PHARMACY:: USED TO BE great, refilling, customer service, curbside etc. Now wholly SUCK. Owned by Walmart (who also doesn't respond) changing around the phone line to some VA idiocy you can't get through. RUDE staff who cut you off. NO updates like they used to, so you're stranded, wondering where the heck your meds are at. They HAD to keep changing a system that was never broken, for whatever stupidity reason that screws or confuses pharmacy customers. They can all go to Hades. I'm switching to someone better who PROVIDES A SERVICE.

    I have long stop shopping inside the club store because our previous bad experiences. I now solely shop online and pickup the items curbside. On Monday April 27, 2026 I went to stall No 23 at the Sam's Club located at 9400 S Western Ave at 4:50pm. My order was not delivered to my car until 6:07pm. I waited more than an hour and my order was missing items. When I questioned a worker to why it was taking so long he said people had been waiting more than an hour all day. I also questioned as to why there was a line at the door if this was curbside pickup, He said the people at the door were there for Instacart Orders. So it appeared that the Instacart orders were being given preferential treatment.

    I asked about the refund for the missing items and he said give it 35 days. I contacted the store while in the parking lot waiting on my order. They said the manager named Fernando was gone for the day. I provided my name and contact information. I called the store on Tuesday and again provided my name and contact information and no one called me. On Wednesday I generated a written complaint online via AI and still no one has contacted me regarding my experience.

    If I could give it -1000 I would. I have had sooooo many problems but this one tops them all. I placed an order for string cheese that was delivered on March 12, 2026, the best used by date is March 13, 2026. I called them on April 29, 2026 after looking at the date because several of my staff became sick over the past weeks and now we see why. They offered me $5 for the mistake. That is completely ridiculous and I will be filing a lawsuit against this company.

    I ordered an order for my office, it was delivered somewhere else and someone else's order was delivered to me. They state all they can do since the delivery company is a third party company (Spark), is to refund and I reorder, so I did. Also I still have the other person's order and no one wants to get it to the right place, we were told to keep it. When I did the reorder I did not receive one of the items on the order, they state when they delivered my order it was out but now is in, this was from 8 a.m. to 9:20 a.m., if it is not there, just wait and deliver my full order. So now I have to reorder and wait again along with I will be charged a delivery fee now due to the low cost of just one item. My biggest issue is that they take no responsibility and blame the third party (Spark), I told them that the company they choose is their responsibility and a reflection of Sams, and stated if the company is the issue then they need to change who they use. Terrible service

    Their customer service sucks... I was on the phone an hour about money they took out my account, tried to pay me back with an e-gift card. No, put my money back and then told me they would call me back 24 to 72 hours, and then I still had to wait 5 to 7 business days after that to get my money. Definitely not a member anymore, will keep my BJ'S account.

    I am disabled and it is very helpful when they scan things for me and put in my cart. They did not offer me this assistance this last time so I do not think I will continue there any longer. Yes, I put the items in my cart and yes, I put them in my car when alone but usually I have a family member assist with that. I tried going alone today. Having to lift the items additional times was painful for me. I asked why she didn't help me and she said she didn't know what I was talking about so I am assuming they no longer take the items from your cart to scan them and then put them in the buggy anymore. At least Costco still does that and Kroger will put them in my cart and even put them in my car.

    So sad, short notice, no call or text. I ordered two Tres Leches cakes, ICES and some other items. I suppose to have a surprise birthday party for two friends. The surprise was on me. I went to pick up my order and the ICES was substituted and there were no Tres Leches cakes. If they would have called or texted me, that morning I wouldn't have driven two hours to get there. I had to go inside to pick up another cake and other pastries. The Pick Up Area needs help only, short staffed and another worker was called to help me. He did with the scan and go, but that was a problem. The scan and go didn't want to scan the Garden soil. Then he left, my order in the Pick Up Area, I had to wait again for someone else to help me. Poor service at this store. This store doesn't live up to the Sam's Club reputation of the Sam's Club.

    We have been members of Sam's Club for about 13 years. Membership fees are never late and always paid the week of the due date... When cashing out at the register... Same way every time. This month though, Sam's did the slickest move ever and withdrew money from an credit card account that used to pay at the register 5 years ago. It's absolute nonsense the way they were trying to run the transaction through three different cards that we regularly use.

    Here's the kicker.. I AM NOT ENROLLED IN AUTO-PAY OR AUTO-DRAFT, we pay membership IN-STORE ... ALWAYS, when cashing out. SO who, shat, and why gave Sam's Club to operate like the IRS and use a credit card(s) that has only been used to BUY GROCERIES, once, five or so years ago. There is no debt here... They literally used someone else card info to pay my membership that I pay in-store only.. every time. I was told it was now automatic.. at check out you are automatically enrolled in auto-draft, auto-pay now.

    I asked the manager why wasn't this posted or notices sent out to members. The card they used was from an ex and they are livid that Sam's Club could withdraw money from their card being that they only bought groceries once, some years back.. Thirteen year membership @ $400-$600 a month and trust completely shattered with Sam's Club down the drain.. I have video of their managers clueless and helpless managers response to my questions. Time to get a lawyer.. just sad. You are not authorized to snatch cards from anyone anywhere to pay anything if mine.. I pay my own and always have. Seeking legal action now.

    Walmart has sunk to the bottom of the barrel, Walmart employees and managers turn their name tags backwards, they think they're hiding who they are. I have the right to record angry and verbal abusive, I start recording when I encounter a Walmart employee that's pissed off at Walmart. You're letting some of your employees ruin Walmart reputation, I send videos of my encounters straight to corporate. A couple of years back, my wife and I were shopping at the Walmart marketplace on Wilson Blvd.

    This is what happened, my wife and I made it to the store on Wilson at 21:00hrs, the cashiers working that night wanted to close the store early and when we walked in we were being cursed, yelled at. When we were trying to check out the cashier ** lady she would not turn on that belt for nothing so my wife and I we had to end up basically going up front putting our groceries on the top of the belt right where the cash register is and did you know when some other customer came up she turned the belt on. That's why it's discrimination, we did understand why.

    I reported this to Mark **, it seems like this incident was pushed right under the rug. Wilson on Walmart had video because Mark ** told me he had to play back the video to make sure what we're saying was true and when he saw the video he directly called me and apologized for that. To me that's not enough. We shouldn't had to go through that in the first place. In fact it's still bothering me.

    As you can tell Walmart got off with this but I they actually did not because I am disabled and handicapped and what the two ladies did that night is unacceptable. I have my rights. I've already contacted the Americans with disabilities act and they're doing their own investigation on why this was just pushed under the rug and nothing was ever done about it. What you do between your employees and your Walmart managers have nothing to do with the customers. This was not handled properly. Period.

    I frankly do not want to hear about what happened to this particular employee but I was told that's none of my business. Walmart should have handled it properly and you didn't. My wife and I we avoid the marketplace on Wilson boulevard like the plague because we're tired of being abused. We're tired of being verbally abused by Walmart employees. It's like your employees have chips on their shoulders. Okay when I was a manager you kept that stuff at your home not at work.

    Bought 4 tires for my vehicle. Brought it in for my appointment, and the techs decided they were going to draw “pictures” in the dirt on my tailgate. When I confronted them about it, they stood in the bay and laughed about it. I noticed damage on my front bumper. I went in and spoke with a manager who came out and took pictures of the childish drawings that were drawn on the back of my Explorer and damage to my bumper. He promised me he would call me back before the end of the day with an update… Never received a call. They clearly do NOT value their customers and support extremely CHILDISH behavior from their staff.

    I recently purchased a Sam’s Club membership through Groupon, and the experience has been extremely frustrating. After purchasing, I downloaded the voucher instead of gifting it to my son, and because of that, the membership was declined. I’ve been trying to resolve this directly with Sam’s Club, but customer service has been very disappointing. Each time I call, I either get transferred multiple times, given unclear information, or the call gets disconnected altogether. It feels like I’m being given the runaround instead of receiving actual help.

    As a paying customer, I expected a much smoother process and better support. I’m simply trying to correct what seems like a small issue, but it has turned into a stressful experience. I hope someone from Sam’s Club can review this situation and provide a clear resolution, because right now the customer service does not reflect the quality I expected from this company.

    I’m extremely frustrated with my recent Sam’s Club experience. I ordered a TV for $1,000, paid $100 for delivery, and even bought a $50 membership. The delivery date was 4/11, and I stayed home all weekend waiting — but the TV never arrived. Customer service gave me conflicting answers, one rep promised a $100 credit then reversed it, and now Sam’s Club has changed my delivery date to 4/16 with no explanation. What makes this worse is that a Walmart order I placed at 4 PM yesterday arrived in two hours. Sam’s Club, this needs immediate attention. I paid for delivery, I paid for membership, and I still have no product.

    I just called to ask about an interest charge on my account for over $50 because I paid the account balance and it was off by $0.71. I usually pay this with the button choice of pay statement balance. For some reason the system did not pay my full statement balance as I chose. I called to ask for the interest charge to be reversed. The man on the line was very rude to me and said there is no way to reverse it because I didn’t pay the $0.71. I usually pay my full balance, and have been a Sam’s Club member since 1992. He said he did not care and that any loyalty to Sam’s means nothing!!!

    I asked him to just reverse the interest charge as I usually pay the full amount and the system didn’t pay the $0.71 cents, and should not charge me over $50 for that!!! That’s insane!! He continued to be extremely rude to me, and say, "No way will I reverse it. It's policy." I'm thinking of ending my Sam’s Club membership as I did not deserve to be treated like that. The system made a mistake and should not have over $50 charge for that!

    I am filing a formal complaint regarding unauthorized recurring charges by Sam's Club and the handling of my concern by their escalation team. Two years ago, I visited a Sam’s Club location in Orlando, FL to purchase a one-year membership. During the enrollment process, the customer service representative communicated only in Spanish. I clearly stated that I do not speak Spanish and requested assistance from an English-speaking representative. This request was not accommodated. At the time, I was experiencing significant medical issues and severe pain after standing in line for an extended period. Due to my condition, I was unable to fully review or understand the documents presented but felt compelled to proceed.

    I have since discovered that my credit card was charged again in 2025 and 2026 for membership renewals that I did not knowingly authorize. When I contacted customer service to request a refund—particularly given that I was hospitalized for much of the past year—I was told that I had agreed to automatic renewal terms. When I escalated the issue, I was met with an unprofessional and unacceptable response, including being labeled “racist” for raising concerns about the lack of English-language assistance during the initial transaction. This situation raises serious concerns regarding informed consent, accessibility of service, and the professionalism of customer support. I am requesting a full review of this matter and an appropriate resolution, including refunds for unauthorized charges.

    Review is too long to write.. So this is a good Heads up. If you're buying flowers from Sam's Club, please check all the flowers for freshness. Tags with dates are deceiving. Roses squeeze at the bottom if Firm ok, if soft and squishy dead or about to die.. CHECK THE RETURN POLICY. If flowers die before the 7 day guarantee you must bring back full bouquet, so don't use them in an arrangement to give to a friend or family. No more breaking up the flowers and making arrangements for funeral flowers because you have to bring all the flowers back living or dead to get your refund and for Sam's to honor the 7 day freshness guarantee.
