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.

My issue with Sam's is the delivery service. Several times I have placed orders that never showed up. No. They weren't late. They never came. Today I was waiting for a delivery when I got a notice that my refund request had been processed. I didn't request a refund, I was waiting for my delivery. I looked at my app and it said my refund had been processed and to return the products to the store. You mean, return the products I never got? Because of a refund I didn't request? This is stressful. It's too stressful. I just renewed my Sam's Plus Membership and I almost didn't because of the delivery issues. Now I'm sorry I renewed it and want to cancel it. Buying products from a company shouldn't be stressful and getting a notice to return products I never got is beyond that. No. Just, no.

I’ve just had the worst customer service with Sam’s Club store #4872. I placed an order for delivery and for it it to be left at the door. I’m told the delivery driver attempted to deliver but didn’t leave the groceries as requested. I called customer service they told me to call the store. I called the store no one answered called back to speak to a manager and was told no managers were available and when explained about the delivery his response is we do not deliver we use a 3rd party to deliver and my delivery is not his problem they have nothing to do with delivery and there’s nothing he could do for me. I just wanted some help to understand why the groceries I had delivered to 75 year old disabled veteran dad meant for his dinner was not delivered and why Sam’s representative said it’s not their problem, suck it up and go to the app and order again. Very rude and poor customer service.

I wish they had an option to leave negative stars. I am so sick and tired of Sam’s Club pharmacy. They are the worst pharmacy in all of Dubuque. The only reason why I go there is because my partner works there so we get it cheaper since we’re on Sams Club health insurance. The pharmacist is always asking why I’m getting my prescription filled the day before it’s due as far as I’m concerned, that’s none of their business and who wants to pick up their medication the day it’s due when you don’t have the medication that you need.
I’m on disability for my mental health. I need my medication when it’s due and it’s my right to pick it up a day early but the pharmacist there seems to always have a problem and then they sit there and question my Husband on why I need my medication a day early that’s none of her business by far the worst pharmacy. I would recommend to never go there. You deal with nothing but attitude and hassle zero out of 10 would not recommend. They need a serious attitude adjustment. I’ve been getting my medication there for four years and every single month. They have something negative to say or they try to say my husband can’t pick up my medication. Absolutely ridiculous.

Do NOT use Sam’s Club Scan & Go. It is subject to hacking and Sam’s Club will not respond to help you recover your lost funds. My account was hacked and they used my Sam’s Cash and charged my Credit Card. My Credit Card company refunded me the illegal purchase money, but Sam’s Club has not. I have repeatedly called their fraud number beginning May 5 and each time they say they will investigate and get back to me in 48 to 72 hours. To date, no calls, no correspondence, or any communications from Sam’s. Even the folks at Sam’s service desk said Scan & Go has been easy to hack. What a poor way to run a business.
Again – DO NOT USE Sam’s club Scan & Go. Also, do not let your Sam’s Cash get too large, because if you get hacked Sam’s will NOT help you get it back. Additionally, you have to always have a credit card attached to your Scan & Go account and if it gets hacked, you can’t delete it from your account. Worst Customer Service ever. I suggest joining Cosco instead of Sam’s Club. Better customer service.

I've been a member for 2 years now. They never have half the items I order. I currently have over 100 dollars tied up in items that were canceled. It takes over week for the amount to update on my card and to get my money returned. I don't have tons of money to just go reorder everything right away. This seems to happen quite often and I'm left without any of the items I was needing. Very displeased on how this is handled.

I actually love Sam’s Club, but I HATE that they ship through FedEx so I am trying my best to make them switch to a new carrier service. Continually my packages have been busted open and retapped, they arrive FILTHY - covered in gravel dust from the driver leaving the back door open while plowing down country roads, they rarely arrive when estimated - our local FedEx hub out of Danville, IL will track a package as ‘loaded on carrier vehicle, delivery: today’ and the package arrives the following day, they nearly always dump the box at the end of our driveway as the drivers are afraid of our dogs, however, if they had come on the expected day our dogs would be locked up for their comfort. So, Sam’s Club, please switch to a better carrier service!!

1-Star Review – Very Disappointing Customer Service. I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I received from Sam's Club. On Friday evening, I purchased a sofa and recliner online. By the next morning, I had changed my mind and contacted customer service to cancel the order. The items had not shipped yet, so I assumed canceling would be a simple process. Instead, the customer service representative told me that the order had already been "processed" and could not be canceled. I was then told that I would have to wait for a shipping confirmation email and call back in hopes that they could notify the shipper before the items were sent. If they were unable to stop the shipment in time, I would be forced to accept delivery and then go through the return process for furniture that I never wanted in the first place.
This policy makes no sense. The order had not shipped when I requested the cancellation, yet no one was willing or able to help resolve the issue. It has now been four days since my initial request, and I still do not have a resolution or confirmation that the order has been canceled. A company of this size should have a more customer-friendly cancellation process, especially when a customer contacts them before an order ships. Instead, I have spent days dealing with uncertainty, multiple contacts, and the possibility of having to coordinate the return of large furniture items that I tried to cancel almost immediately after ordering. Very frustrating experience and poor customer service. I expected much better from Sam's Club. ⭐☆☆☆☆

We have always purchased from Costco’s but decided to make a large purchase from Sam’s Club but unfortunately, they rely on FedEx and cannot deliver. Twice, so far, they have scheduled our delivery of a 335 lb item and had to cancel a few hours before delivery. Unlike Costco, they don’t offer White Glove so the item whenever delivered will only come to the threshold and we have had help waiting to assist us to get the item in its permanent place that we have had to cancel last minute. As of today, our item is more than eight days late and I have spent countless hours on the phone with both Sam’s and FedEx to no avail. Save yourself the frustration and don’t purchase from Sam’s Club.

I purchased a Sam’s Club membership so that I could buy a mattress online for my daughter. I purchased the mattress online to ship to my house. The order was cancelled after 15 minutes. I chatted with customer service and they couldn’t tell what the problem was so they escalated the issue and said I’d receive a response within 24 hours. I never received that response so I went ahead and ordered it again. It was cancelled again. So I tried chatting with customer service again. Same response - can’t do anything, must escalate the issue.
I have literally ordered the mattress 7 freaking times! I’ve chatted and talked to customer service on the phone 8 times! The item is in stock according to customer service. There is no issue with my bank or credit cards I’ve used. And I’ve received NO RESPONSE from the escalated customer service claim and it’s been well over A WEEK. The sale is about to end so I had a friend order the mattress for me and it went through just fine. I WANT MY $55 MEMBERSHIP FEE BACK AND I’M WILLING TO GET A LAWYER IF IT'S NOT REFUNDED! You don’t make people buy a membership and then refuse to let them buy anything. This is fraud! This company’s lack of customer service is mind blowing.

Membership keeps getting canceled less than 24 hrs after purchase. And every single time I try to find out why customer service just gives me the runaround once they find out I've already been refunded. As far as they are concerned I've got my money back so I shouldn't complain. Currently on week 2 of waiting for a reply concerning why I can never retain a membership with them as well as a growing list of names of service reps I've talked to.

I have just been informed that Sam's Club does not offer "top tier" gasoline. That is not good for your engine because it doesn't have the detergents needed to clean your engine. It may just be worth the extra pennies per gallon to go elsewhere to save your engine.

We have been using a Sam's Club CC for company purchasing. We have always paid the full amount every time we received their bill. Evidentially, they don't like that because they put a hold on our account almost every payment. We spoke with their customer service person, and they said to pay the full amount with her over the phone, and they would turn the card back on again in 24 hours. We paid the full amount owed with her over the phone from our bank account, and we still can't use our purchasing card. It's been 9 days now.

Sam’s Club canceled my grocery order totaling $349.34 without explanation while continuing to hold the full amount from my bank account. When I contacted customer service, I was told they had no reason for the cancellation, no explanation could be provided, and the suggested resolution was for me to simply place the order again. When I explained that I could not do that because Sam’s Club was still holding the money I needed to buy groceries, I was told to wait.
That response demonstrates a serious disconnect from the real financial impact these situations create. For many customers, nearly $350 tied up due to a retailer’s unexplained system failure is not an inconvenience — it is the difference between being able to feed their family or not. I am a divorced single mother, and this was my grocery money. Sam’s Club effectively made those funds inaccessible while offering no meaningful solution, no escalation path, and no urgency.
If your company chooses to authorize customer funds, then cancels the order for reasons even your own representatives cannot explain, there should be an immediate process to release those held funds or provide an actual remedy. Telling customers to “just wait” after your company created the problem is unacceptable.
Operational errors happen. What defines customer service is how those errors are handled. In this case, Sam’s Club failed at both the transaction and the response. Customers should be aware that if Sam’s Club cancels your order unexpectedly, your money may remain inaccessible while you are left without groceries and without answers.

Dear Sam’s Club Customer Service, My name is Lori **, and I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the extremely poor experience I recently had with both your online ordering system and in-store customer service. In preparation for my bridal shower last weekend, I attempted several times to place catering orders through the Sam’s Club app. Each time, my orders were canceled under suspicion of fraud, despite the fact that all of my information was verified and accurate. I called customer service four separate times trying to resolve the issue. During those calls, I was repeatedly told that someone would contact me back, but no one ever did.
Because the app would not allow me to complete my purchase, I went directly into the store and placed two catering orders in person: one for pinwheels and one for a fruit tray. I trusted that the orders had been properly placed and would be ready for pickup on the day of my bridal shower. However, when I arrived to pick up my orders, I was told that no orders existed. I was then informed that all catering orders must be placed through the app — the same app that repeatedly canceled my verified orders and prevented me from ordering in the first place.
This entire situation caused significant stress and embarrassment during an important once-in-a-lifetime event. Because of Sam’s Club’s system failures and lack of customer support, I had to scramble at the last minute to purchase food and assemble a fruit tray myself for my bridal shower. The experience completely disrupted my event planning and left me extremely upset.
I have been a loyal Sam’s Club customer for years and have spent thousands of dollars shopping with your company. I am not an occasional customer spending small amounts — I regularly spend hundreds of dollars per visit. To be treated this way after my loyalty and support is beyond disappointing. I am requesting that Sam’s Club properly address and rectify this matter. At minimum, I believe I deserve:
A formal apologyAn explanation as to why my verified orders were repeatedly canceled.
At this point, I am seriously reconsidering whether I want to continue shopping with Sam’s Club in the future. I hope this matter will be taken seriously and resolved promptly.
Sincerely,Lori
