I am deeply disappointed by the appalling experience my husband and I had at Sam's Club on July 29, 2023 around 4:45 pm. As upstanding members of this community - my husband is a sheriff's deputy and I am a speech-pathologist in Davis School District- and loyal customers of Sam's Club, we expected better treatment and respect from this establishment. During our routine shopping visit, my husband was subjected to what I believe was racial profiling by one of the store managers. It was embarrassing and distressing, and it made me never want to come back to this location despite it being one of the main places we buy groceries.
While shopping, we used the Sam's club app to "scan and go". We double-checked and counted our items and paid for them as usual. When we went to leave the store, the person who checks receipts told us he was going to have to detain us. I thought he was joking, but he wasn't. He was listening to a manager on his headset telling him that we did not pay for our groceries and our transaction had been voided. They also accused us of abandoning another cart at a register. We had no idea what they were talking about. We used the same cart for the entire time we shopped, and we never went to the registers (as we used the scan and go app).
The man checking receipts said, "In all the time I have worked for Sam's this has never happened before. My manager is telling me I can't let you leave. You have to give us your cart. She said to stop the man in a green tank top". My husband was wearing a green tank top; that is the only detail they had correct in the entire exchange that we had. We thought it was weird they only mentioned my husband when our son and I had been with him the entire shopping trip. I was holding the baby and he was pushing the cart. I scanned and paid for all the items on my phone.
After going back and forth, counting our items, counting them again, scanning our items, and making a huge scene, they finally determined that we weren't stealing, and we had paid for everything (as we had told them from the start). The man checking receipts told us we could just go, even though his manager was telling him to hold us there. He was very nice, and seemed incredibly frustrated by his manager on his headset who kept insisting we were stealing. We told them we wanted to talk to this manager, but the checker just told us to go. In the time that they held us at the front of the store, they caused a huge back-up of store traffic, and I was starting to cry from being so frustrated and embarrassed, so we just left.
We hope that by sharing our disappointing experience, Sam's Club will have a chance to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and take appropriate disciplinary action against the manager involved, as per your company's policies and anti-discrimination guidelines. No one should have to endure such humiliation while shopping, regardless of their background. Even if it was just a simple mistake and there actually was another 6'3 ** man wearing a green tank top who abandoned a cart and had his transaction voided- which seems kind of improbable to me since we don't typically see many individuals who look like my husband- the manager should have at least taken the time to come to the front of the store and apologize for the mix-up.
In light of this deeply distressing incident and the inadequate response, we cannot recommend Sam's Club as a place of business that values its customers and upholds the principles of fairness and respect. We implore the management to take immediate action to address this issue and ensure such incidents like this are prevented in the future.

To a customer, this is one huge store. If I use the app that they provide that allows to store the credit card with them too- I expect to use it at the cash register to pay for all items. Well I can’t- and employees are clueless when can I not use the app- so I have been finding out this the hard way after esos it f time picking items - to find out I can’t scan any go or scan certain items or show them my form of payment store- so I can’t pay and they can’t understand why- only that it can’t be done because they do not know how. We have a shared credit card so two people can’t carry the physical card at the same time- so the person (me) that only carries the app (with card in it), is affected by not being able to pay for certain items.
Of course employees also have no clue that this can’t be done until you are standing in front of them and they discover they do not know how. I asked for a list of items that can’t be paid with the App- no answer. And employees get mad at the customer for the many things they don’t know- not understanding this is a huge failure from this giant store- that can’t advise customers or their own reps about their many limitations.

I usually never order more than three items at a time from Sam's Club online, and delivery is usually two days, if not delivered the next day. This time I ordered seven items. This was on Sunday and the estimated delivery date was Wednesday. When I checked the order on Tuesday evening, it was still "processing." So I canceled the order. The website confirmed it was canceled. Wednesday morning I checked the website, and it did not say it was canceled so I called Customer Service. The polite lady verified it was NOT canceled and said she could not cancel the order even though it had not shipped. No tracking information was available. Something to do with the vendors? The polite lady said I could not cancel my order and I could not request a refund until after my order was delivered, but she could not give me an estimate for when it would ship.
Because this was a particularly difficult month for me, and I was trying very, very hard to stop adding to the burden of my credit card debt, I had used my debit card for payment. After all, it was only 15 days until I would receive my pension and these staples would help get me by. As it turns out, Sam's online is not sending me my staples and is holding $112 of my money hostage, until God knows when, and I have 12 days left to get by. All my decisions, all my own fault.
I believed a Sam's Club Plus card was a positive decision and would save me money in the long-run. I thought processing and shipping standards for online orders were consistent and reliable. Thinking shipping might be a day or two late, that's possible. I had no idea it would just be in limbo. My fault for using my debit card (the last of my available cash) instead of my credit card, which I have never done before. Just trusted that Sam's would keep up their end of the bargain. The very one time I needed them, they let me down. Never again, Sam's. Never again.

Not worth what they're charging for membership. I'm pretty sure they are stocking the stores at the southern border states, saw on CNN that due to migrants coming over border the government and charity agencies are buying all goods needed through Sam's Club to maintain the people coming from all over. I live in the Northern Midwest and can't even buy a bag of Doritos! The meat section was totally empty as well as the produce section, smack area, no tide for laundry, etc. When you look online it says items are there but when you show up it's empty of the items you want. Cosco here I come!

Taxes that are paid on purchases using split payment method EBT and a bank debit card..Consumers are paying full amount of tax for the total purchases for food using the EBT card, and the bank card is charged the taxes which are supposed to be exempt on food purchases made with EBT but not at Sam's Club. This practice is not encompassing of Government standards for residents of the State of Alabama shopping at Sam's Club. Unfair and unethical!

I ordered a large furniture item for delivery only to be delayed nearly 3 weeks, took 3 attempts and waiting most of each day to get the item delivered. Customer service was zero - I was on hold for 1 hour and 3 minutes, hung up on twice and transferred over 5 times - only to start the same repetitive nonsense over each time. My item was dropped in the house, left in the box - stapled shut.
I will now have to hire someone to remove it from the box. I have been a long time business customer at Sam's but will not purchase anything to be delivered again from this store. I am disappointed beyond belief and believe I have been taken advantage of by this retailer. Costco will now get all of my business. We need to demand quality customer service and not settle for substandard efforts.

I have been a loyal Sam's Club member for over 20 years and was happy shopping there until they implemented deceitful practices and lied to me. The Customer Service Staff (Vrindra and Joseph) perpetuated those same lies and practices. Hence, when I returned an item today, I was informed that I paid for it with CREDIT! NOT SO!! I showed my bank statement and was STILL TOLD that I made a CREDIT CARD purchase!!
I make ALL purchases with DEBIT, so that if I am disappointed with the purchase, I may return it for my CASH back. The days of Debit Card returns being honored for cash at SAM'S CLUB in Sterling VA are OVER. Sam's Club now changes Debit Card transactions to Credit Card transactions on their receipts and the refund must go back to the original card, received 1-2 weeks later, instead of CASH that I need for Gas, Food and other necessities. I am being generous with a One-Star review. Needless to say, I am NEVER going back to SAM'S CLUB and would never recommend it to anyone. I will spend my money at a honest wholesale club, not the deceitful SAM'S CLUB! I also shop at COSTCO and this is NEVER an issue and I am now a COSTCO member for LIFE!!! SAM'S CLUB can con and scam somebody else and I am sure they will!!

My wife and I made an appointment for a battery check and battery replacement approximately one week ago. We told them the year and model of our car. When we got to Sam's Club yesterday (12/19/22) we waited 10 minutes to check in. Once checked in we waited again. The staff came back in about 15 minutes and stated their battery checker was not working. I asked and they stated they only had one battery checker. Why only one I asked with no reply. They stated they would not be able to get another one for about 2 weeks.
We then told them to go ahead and replace the battery we needed that they knew about 1 week ago. They came back and stated they did not have the battery even though they knew for one week prior. It would be 10 days before they could get another battery. This level of customer service is so poor! I would hope Sam's would learn from this story, but I highly doubt it.

Sam's Club has fewer items available with each visit. Their website lists the items as available but after taking the ride to the store I find the items are not in stock and not available. I also find that they are constantly discontinuing items I regularly look to purchase. Their membership is becoming more and more WORTHLESS as each day passes!

Twice, I order groceries through Samsclub.com and my order was delayed over a day without notice. I called and asked them to re-order and also requested for an inconvenience credit but I was told I should expect a call. In other words, they decided to continue to delay hoping when my items is delivered in a couple of days I would be happy. I still need my inconvenience fee; I will continue to post my displeasure.

They gonna give you a hard time returning the items as long as they stopped accepting online returns in their store and most of their jewelries from a third party and each vendor has his own returning roles. I have been waiting for over a week now after I return the item via FedEx and till now did not receive the refund back.

I stopped at Sam's Club in store café and was surprised to see that they had Dropped the price of the hot dog combo from $1.50 to $1.38. The large sign above the counter said "NEW LOWER PRICE". I thought, "Wow, nothing ever goes down in price but I guess I was wrong." I then ordered two combos and was charged $1.50 for each. I know I am only talking .12 cents each, but I said "Hey your big sign above me says new lower price". The response was that no one had changed the registers and they can't give refunds. I guess they should work on the timing. Either way it's still a great deal.

I've been a member of Sam's since 2000. Ever since Covid hit, these stores have gone downhill fast! In 2020 I could purchase all of my food needs in one spot for three people for about $350 for a month. Eggs were about $8. Butter was about $4-5. Turkey patties $8. A box of 40 count hamburger patties $20. A box of hot dogs, same. Tater tots $6.
Now, eggs were $21 before they went down to $17. Butter is now $8. Turkey patties $13. Hamburger patties $40. Hot dogs, same. Tater tots which they seem to keep stop selling was $8. Speaking of not selling, I would buy pastries, cakes, and the like for a sweet fix for breakfast. They took out the things that sells and left the things that barely or won't sell.
I went from spending about $100 and some change on each of us to about $250 per person. When you're on a limited income and is trying to keep people fed daily for a month, that stuff really adds up and kills my pocket book. Plus they went up on the membership. Because I can't find some of the things I usually buy in bulk I'm stuck. If there was another alternative I would most definitely go somewhere else. Since 2020 Sam's has been a huge let down.

Never order a large item from them. The 3rd party delivery company they use is horrible and will have you waste your day expecting the delivery only to have them never call (supposed to call 30 minutes ahead), and never show up. They are understaffed, and they can't handle the work they have. The driver will lie and say nobody was home, doesn't matter if you are. Plus they are supposed to call, but they don't if they are running behind and just don't want to deliver that day.
I am on my 3rd scheduled appointment for delivering my mattress and not holding my breath they will show up this time either. They lost a loyal customer permanently with this. I will go to Amazon, Lowes, or Home Depot. They show up. If Sam's and Walmart want to be big players in online retail, they need to get a website that is useable at WalMart.com and a delivery system that works at Sam's Club.

Went to my local Sam's club gas station to buy gas. Purchased $14.03 in gas with my debit card. Once I got home from other shopping I checked my bank account balance and saw a $100 pre-authorized debit charge to Sam's club. I called my bank and informed it won't be returned to my account for three days. I have two autopays pending and once those go through, my account will be overdrawn now. And my bank says they can't do anything about this. My advice is to NOT use a debit card there. And I will never purchase gas there again or have anything to do with this business.

Our order has been cancelled about 4 times. I keep contacting customer service and am told they will give me priority or they will call back in 24 hours. Nobody calls me back. This is very frustrating. I have researched and others are having the same problem and get no answers. Apparently there some shipment companies that are scamming Sam’s Club on refunds. I am just an individual and they only refund I have gotten is when they cancel my order and put the money back into my account. What good is a membership that you can’t use? They just take your money and run.

Customer service seems not to exist at store level, or at corporate level. If you call the store, you will be put on hold for 20 to 30 minutes and no one from management will ever pick up the phone. Regardless of whether you want a local manager, or upper level management at the corporate level, comma you will never be allowed to speak to anyone of any importance. I am moving my membership to Costco's where my money seems to be appreciated as well as my membership. Kudos to Costco's. After 30 years of loyalty with Sam's club, I'M DONE!!!!!

I have never received worse customer service in my life. I have had an issue for 2 months, have been on the phone with 10+ representatives fully communicating my issue, being told it was fixed, and it wasn't. Communication is poor, Sam's Club will block your orders without telling you why, and you'll be left paying for a membership that you can't actually use.

I purchased a clock online from Sam's. When I discovered it was damaged, I called to get a return label, and was told by the rep that the Supervisor would not authorize my return because my membership is no longer active... Mind you the rep agreed to return my item initially. Then mentioned that my membership was expired (it expired 2 months after the purchase). Since I declined renewing my membership. They declined my refund. They put me on hold for 10 minutes to speak with the Supervisor. When I finally spoke to the Supervisor, I requested a copy of the return policy where it states that previous members cannot return items purchased before membership expiration. She could not find it. I've yet to receive the documentation.

I was added to my wife's account and I paid the add-on fee using my credit card. When it was time to renew her account, Sam's charged my credit card $140.00 without asking me. At the time I signed up, I was not asked or given the option to opt out (if it's their standard policy) of auto renewal. My wife had 3 credit cards already on file with them, which had been used in the past for renewal.
I tried to contact Sam's on multiple occasions (at least 7 times) and each time I would get passed to another department who was suppose to help resolve the issue. Most of the time it was a call center outside the United States. I don't have a problem with outsourcing as long as the representative on the other end understands the issue and can resolve the case. However, that was not the case. They spent more time saying that they "understand and apologize" and less time getting me to the right department to fix the issue. Each representative told me something different. I was told that notes would be annotated in the system to let the other representative know what the issue was; however, I had to explain the issue over and over again.
Each time I called, I was given a different reference number about the same issue. Bottom line, their telephone customer service sucks. They are good at passing the issue to someone else to relieve them of the responsibility; however, nothing got resolved. After 7 days I eventually had to go into a local Sam's Club and explain the situation all over again, in order to get resolution. I will no longer use their services. If I could give them less one star, I would.

Sam's Club is dirty to customers. I paid my credit card on time and usually 30 dollars over the minimum payment. What did they do? The company lower my credit limit without any warning. Why? I have no clue. They didn't care by lowering my credit limit, that I would max out my card. I went from $1,200 to $430. I have never had any company do this to me. I owe a total of $289. Once that is paid, I'm closing the account and turning in my membership card. These days where gas is so high, I used my card for gas mainly. What a dirty way to treat a customer that paid every month 20 days before time.

Sam's Club sells the liberty hearing aids, I purchased a top of the line with bluetooth capability less than a year ago.

Well I recently upgraded my cell to iPhone 13. But could not connect to my hearing aids. So I went to Sam's club to fix the issue and was told I bought the hearing aid for android it will not work with iPhone. This is my WARNING you can never switch phone types after purchase.

They advertise their hearing aids all the time on TV for incredibly low prices, but in the store, you are sold hearing aids at $2,000 each ear. That is fine. I would pay that to hear, but they told me they were rechargeable, but that took an extra 4 months to get. The rechargeable batteries don't even get me through the day (the replaceable batteries got me about 4-5 days). They go in and out with my phone controller. The brand they sell is "Lucid" and I would not recommend these hearing aids at all. I have had nothing but trouble and I need to hear clearly for work.

Wasn't a member but my family member was and I was going to the store with them. After done looking went on with my day until I got an email saying I got a temporary 24 hrs card. I was like, "That's really nice." I'll go check things out without my family member so I didn't have to wait for them to go shop. Get there and I only bought 1 thing (a new tv) and I saw the price online and above the product on the display, so I didn't even think anything of the price.
I get home and check the receipt and was charged a 10% fee of $49.60 dollars. I called and they said cause it was a temporary card I got got charged 10%. I checked the email. Nothing stated anything about the 10% upcharge and the girl at the register didn't say anything either. Now they are saying I can return the tv but not the the 10% charge refunded. Livid due to the employee or the email not stating this charge. And they won't refund. I could of waited until my family member was off work.

Talked to manager and she was like, "You should of know it's stated" and I looked at the email nothing is stated and the employee never said anything of any upcharge at the register. The manager had me call the online store, "cause they can help me this this issue" then the online store told me to call the actual store". They have me going back and forth with no answers like it's a game. Poor customer service! I checked the email and the site multiple times and nothing is stated about this 10% upcharge.

I joined this club to be able to benefit from discounts. I discovered that the clubs do not often have varieties of items which means visiting a club still ends up visiting another store for the rest of my items. I decided to still hang on at least for gas discounts but then I discovered while driving around that some though few non-club gas stations offer either same or even lower fuel prices making me to wonder more if I really need the membership. An example of a fuel station which I previously mentioned to a club member is K-Circle at Tower Rd Aurora where I get gas without membership but lower than Sam's.
The worst thing that triggered this review is that I purchased a smart tv from a club on Nov 24th 2020 then by the end of 2021, the tv has started displaying lines all over the screen. I contacted the club who told me that because I did not purchase coverage, they have nothing to do with the tv. My understanding is that they are buying low priced Chinese electronics then shying away from responsibilities thereby making huge profits.
This is not even the end - I pumped gas at one of the clubs in Aurora, so then I discovered the next day that my credit card was used in that store for purchase then I returned there to file a complaint hoping that they can assist or at least investigate but they simply drove me telling me that this is an issue between me and my bank- something they could either check the footage or so. Because of the experiences with the clubs, I ended my membership - it is not worth it.

If you take the extended warranty on something from SAM'S you will never be able to put the warranty together with the item you bought. I bought a $500 printer with a $50 extended warranty. It has been impossible to put the printer with the warranty. They say I have to go to some third party web site, enter a bunch of information and then mail the receipt to the third party company within 30 days. Best Buy has it all on one site. It shows the warranty next to the item you purchased it for. You don't have to do anything but pay.

If you already are a member do not pay your membership fees with a credit card or debit card. Use cash only. You do use any kind of card at Sam's Club. Be very very cautious. My advice would be either used cash or don't shop at Sam's Club at all.

Sam's Club member services are a joke. I ordered a $1000 plus. for a week now I have been lied to with promises of a refund and a gift card for me to get the item in the store for a item I ordered LAST MONTH!!!! Again I was promised call backs, updated emails and a refund. Here it is a week later and another call to 888-746-7726 to those who do not understand and continue to tell me the same script. "We will refund you", "The case is still being worked". WTF. It's been a week and you can't honor what you said a week ago, Monday, Tues, or Wed? I am so disappointed in the way I have been treated. Charmaine hung up on me and lied again. I can't believe a item ordered November has given me so much trouble. Now I am being told they can not refund my money back but issue a gift card to the store and I still have to spend more money to get what I paid for. Unbelievable to say the least. Not what I expected from the worldwide company.

12/6/21 In the distant past I ordered a Royal Sovereign RBC 4500 money counter from Sam's Club. Twice recently I have ordered the same Royal Sovereign RBC 4500 money counter from Sam's Club & twice they have cancelled the order with the explanation that it is out of stock but, it is still advertised online as being available & even says that it will be received within about 3 days. The first time I ordered they cancelled the order the next day. The second time I ordered they took about 5 days to cancel the order. Both times they tied up the full amount of the "purchase" price, several hundreds of dollars, on my credit card.
After the first canceled order I logged into Sam's Club online & looked for the RBC 4500 money counter. I found that the item was still advertised as being available. When I clicked on the item it did NOT say that it was Not available or out of stock but gave a date about 3 days in the future when it would be received. (When I added it to the cart there was no indication that the items was not available -- same both times for when I actually ordered it.) I then called the Sam's Club chat line, explained the situation and asked the Chat rep if the money counter was available for purchase.
The Chat rep took a few minutes to review the item and then came back and said that, yes, the item is available for purchase. I ordered it for the second time on December the 1st and then on the 6th Sam's came back & e-mailed that they were cancelling the order and that the item was out of stock. I went back to the Sam's Club site, logged in and checked for that particular money counter and found that it still indicated online that it was avail and that it would be delivered within 3 days. Even when I added the item to the cart there was no indication that it was not available.
I understand that during the pandemic era/shipping issue tie ups, merchants won't have full control over their stock but they do have control over their online advertising. If the RBC 4500 money counter is not available for purchase then the online ad should say so. They should stop advertising something for sale which they do not have the ability to deliver.

Placed digital order. 1st order was never processed. Was advised from Sam's Club agent to replace order. Repurchased item. Waited 24 hours and never received. Called again and was told I had to wait 48hrs. 10 more days pass and still no order. Called to receive refund. Agent confirmed order was never received and processed a refund. The very next day, I received order I no longer needed as I had to purchase with another company. Called today to inquire about refund and was told I was not going to get a refund since I received digital order after all. All they can offer was a gift card for the amount.

I was in the process of ordering Sam's Club merchandise online. There were 3 options for taking possession of the $500 purchase: store pickup, shipping to home, and home delivery. I was nearly at the point of submitting my card information when I noticed the option to tip the delivery driver. Granted, it was not required to tip, but if I did tip, the "recommended" amount was 15%! That means I was expected to pay a $15 delivery fee, PLUS $75 tip for delivery to my front porch of two small kitchen countertop appliances. I thought that was absolutely ridiculous.
The driver is not working in an industry like restaurant servers or hotel housekeeping where tipping is needed just to make a basic wage. The driver is being paid a full wage. A tip in this case should be for a service above and beyond the minimum. I don't think that putting a box on my porch and ringing the doorbell constitutes a service above and beyond what he is already being paid to do. I cancelled my order without completing it.

I go shopping at Sam's almost every week for grocery. They don't have as much as a regular supermarket in variety but for what they do have the prices are terrific. Ever since I've been introduced to Sam's my food cost have gone down so much in meat, chicken, laundry detergent, fruit and produce. I mean whoever heard of getting smoked Salmon for about 12.50 a lbs and it's delicious. At Sam's I get a 3 lbs Rotisserie chicken for $4.95 and it's 10X better than PUBLIX who charges close to $8.00 for a small dried up chicken. Bj's has more variety in certain things like tv dinners Hebrew National Salami and they have a Deli Department but for most things I get in Sam's because Bj's is a lot more expensive.
As Far as gas one week Sam's is cheaper. The next week Bj's is cheaper. Lately though I have found if you have Bj's Mastercard you do get an additional .10 off which at times beats Sam's price, but if you don't use Bjs CC then most of the time you are better off getting Gas At Sam's. I am a plus member. I hardly get stuff shipped unless it's out of stock in the stores or if there is a super deal. I've heard complaints about Sam's shipping. I'm not a great Fan of their shipping dept because of the 3 to 7 day ship time and I am a plus member. Would I like better shipping? Yes but the prices right now is a more important priority. If I really need fast shipping I use Amazon Prime but then again at times ever since Covid they have slowed down and their prices have gone up. Sometimes I might get lucky with eBay with price and overnight shipping but that's rare.
If Sam's would improve I'd like them to package their pre made foods tighter twice. My taco chicken meal dropped and spilled all over. A few times their Rotisserie chicken the juice dripped out of the pan while putting it in the box. But for now I have to treat certain products with kid gloves. If they got more variety and a deli department and were cheaper than Bj's I'd be in tenth heaven because right now every week I shop 3 places and it would be great to be reduced to one. Of course I'd love to see Sam's improve their shipping timeframe.
Getting in touch with Sam's on the phone is terrible but so is calling any other company. Some stuff the CS reps can handle in the store but not everything. I don't expect Sam's or any other company to improve hold time. They need their money for their shareholders plus in 2021 it seems to be that the trend is if you call a company you are going to wait 30 to 45 min. But how many times do I need to contact Sam's? I just call this complaint a minor nuisance. Improvement I've seen already this new scan the food on the phone and checkout and skipping a register is a godsend.
Overall I really like Sam's. I live in the Daytona area. I do miss them being around the corner from me So now I drive 10 miles like anyplace. They are not perfect no store is but overall their discounts are nice. I mean $16.00 for 3lbs of jumbo shrimp. Woo woo. Bj's gets $24.00 but Bj's carries Lean Cruzen Hebrew National Salami, Knishes, Gifilter fish and has a deli dept and Walmart HAS EVEN more variety and SOME stuff cheaper than both, LIKE Frozen fruit and 15 cal ice pops and turkey pastrami. Then we have Publix Grossly overprice but they have the best roast beef and the only one that carries Turkey Balona. As you see all stores have a purpose but sam's is my goto for most of my major shopping. I love Sam's.

This isn’t about a product, but the service I received from Sam’s (which I have been a member for 30 years). I purchased patio furniture on May 10 and the website showed that a delivery company would get in touch with me within a week. I finally called someone on May 19th to find out when delivery would be scheduled (originally told it would be delivered by the 26th). I was told I would be contacted some time the next week. I called back on the 26th, as I had heard NOTHING. Sam’s contracted with AIT (a horrible, unreliable delivery company) who had no interest in getting me my product. After calling Sam’s as well as AIT, I was told it would be delivered on June 5th. I waited all day at home, no call, no show, no nothing.
AIT said they tried to deliver, but were unable to find our house. I asked why they did not call us, they said they did, and we didn’t answer. All lies. When I contacted Sam’s the following morning, they seemed like they would be helpful, but they did nothing to try and remedy the situation. They told me to contact AIT which I informed them I had several times. Then Sam’s told me it would be delivered by the 6th and offered me free delivery and a 10% discount for my trouble. I thought, ok, one more chance. It never showed again. The very next morning I messaged Sam’s for over an hour trying to resolve this matter. The lady tells me she has to disconnect to call AIT and will send me an email.
So, I get the email a few minutes later and it tells me to contact AIT (which she was supposed to do). I called AIT again and their rep told me my furniture had been delivered in front of a metal building. I said, "What metal building?" She said, "In front of a metal building." I said, "I don’t have it," her response? "Not my problem, call the place you bought it." My husband intervened at this point and called Sam’s and seemed to get a delivery date the next Friday. He explained the discount I was offered and the customer service guy (I use that term loosely) basically called me and yelled at me asking me the incident number and told me there was no way I was getting that discount. I was shocked! I finally yelled back and told him to cancel my order that I no longer wanted to do business with Sam’s or AIT.
Both companies were both horrible to deal with and I received the WORST service I’ve ever had. Shame on Sam’s for using such a unreliable company for delivery (not to mention that they lied about everything and gave zero customer service) and shame on Sam’s for treating a long time customer with zero regard. I am going to cancel my Sam’s membership and join Costco.

I call Sam’s Club, and they say they never shipped them, because items were back-ordered!!!! Your website said they were available on the date ordered. My credit card was billed on 12-9. Sam’s Club had almost 3 weeks to notify me that item was NOT available, and to order something else, in time for Christmas. Instead, they sent me an email on 12-16, assuring me to relax, my items were on their way in time for Christmas delivery, and Sam’s Club was handling it! As a result, NO Christmas present for 3 families... No opportunity for me to order somewhere else, for Christmas delivery, because Sam’s Club never bothered to take the time to notify me (via Email, phone call or mail, all of which Sam’s Club had from my order). And Sam’s Club’s solution to fix this, is to simply refund my money on 12-26-2020, the day AFTER Christmas, and almost 3 weeks after the order was placed, saying “Too Bad. We are Sorry... We should have notified you”!

Cleaning shopping carts is a good way to promote hygiene! Lately I've been bringing my own disinfecting wipes with me to various stores, because not all stores provide them and even those that do seem to be rather slack in cleaning the carts otherwise. Well in terms of being 'slack,' our local Sam's Club is just that when it comes to cart cleanliness! On our most recent trip to Sam's, I got a cart from the storage area (where there are no wipes immediately available to customers) and wiped down the cart as part of my normal routine--taking a very damp disinfecting wipe to rub well the handles, seat area and cart edges. The filth and dirt that came up off the cart was shocking! As I entered the store, greeters were there offering cart wipes. I showed them the dirty wipe in my hand and they just offered me one of their 'courtesy wipes' after I had already cleaned the cart!
I mentioned that they needed to do more to sanitize their carts and that's when I got dumb looks, vacant stares and rolled eyeballs from the greeters! Has anyone at Sam's even bothered to consider logistics when it comes to wiping down carts? Offering customers a wipe AFTER they've already had to handle a cart is definitely "too little too late." And how often do they actually wash or sanitize the carts? Apparently not nearly often enough based upon the amount of grime that came off the cart that I had wiped down. To clarify, I'm pleased with other aspects of the Sam's Club shopping experience. However, I feel quite disappointed by the way they are handling cart 'sanitizing.'

Again customer service refuses to resolve this issue. By the way the promotion doesn’t end until 8/9/20. Their customer service is impossible to contact directly and they do not resolve the issues. I have found several reviews through other sites where people have the same problem with getting in contact with Sam’s Club customer service.

We purchased the Vizio Sound Bar in the last week in May of this year online. Shipment was good but we could not use the item due to our television. So we immediately returned it in 100% new state. We were advised that our Visa debit card which is not Sam’s Club but State Department VISA would be refunded within 5 to 7 days. We could not obtain a receipt per clerks in the store. However we were allowed to take a photo of the computer screen transaction. Well we are in July now & no refund to our State Department Visa card. We have made several attempts to speak with someone who has capabilities to help us and no one seems to know what a manager is or know what to do. This is pretty shady at such a time as we are in now. We have not as much got a call back & no one answers the phones at any store.
So here is the remedy our attorney has advised us, it will cost Sam’s Club more than $158.78 they just ripped from our senior fixed income. By the way, one of the clerks did state, there are many people in this same situation since last year. So what or who owns this oversized building that treats its customers like a mom and pop corner store? For such a small amount of money to Sam’s Club, EVERY DOLLAR WE HAVE MUST BE USED WITH ACCOUNTABILITY!!!

As I got in line to check out a woman came up to me and told me that this line was closing because the woman had to go to the bathroom so she directed me to the next check out line. After getting into the new lane he started raising her voice and telling me that the lady behind me was in front of me and I have to go to the back of the line. Well, I was confused because she told me to go exactly where I was standing and the lady she was talking about was standing about 5 feet away from the line.
I looked over to the self check out line and saw that there was nobody standing in one of the lines so I told the lady I'm gonna go over there. She responded by sarcastically telling me whatever in a nasty voice. The last thing I expected was someone at Sam's Club talking to me like that because I love shopping at Sam's and never had any sort of problem at this branch. Someone needs to talk to her and give her an attitude adjustment. Her name is (**.) I think she's some sort of manager. She works at the 7175 Spring Mountain branch in Las Vegas Nevada.

Today I went to Sam's for senior citizen curb pickup, first off they deleted the paper towels, bath tissue, and solo cups that we use to keep from having to wash dishes. So when I got there there was no tent as I was told on the telephone to check in at in the parking lot. So I called the store from my truck and I was told I had to download the app, well I do not have the app nor can I download the being as how I only have a flip phone like most people my age. I was treated very rudely by the people in customer service and told that if I did not get the app they would not bring my order out to me again! The only reason I went there to begin with is because they had curb pickup for the elderly being 76 years old with bad legs this was today 7-9- 2020.

When considering where to make your next Tire Purchase. STRONGLY think about going somewhere else other than the Sam's Club in Kissimmee Florida. There are multiple reasons why I suggest chose other places. I went in on the 27th around 4pm in the afternoon knowing I would not be able to get the tires that day because I called the store earlier in the day and was on hold for 35-40 minutes after being transferred 4 or 5 times between the bakery, pharmacy and the electronics. Finally I get thru to someone who seemed to be more interested in the funny conversation in Spanish him and I assume his co-workers were having. I asked him if he could give me some prices because my tires were a size not normally carried. As we spoke to get details on the tires, he kept putting me on hold but only for a second or 2 at a time as the laughing continued in the background. I told him I would come in to pay for them to start the process to get them in..
My lady and I show up about an hour & a half later. There is only one person at the counter so I approach and proceed to see if he was the one I spoke with on the phone. ... nope. The gentleman seemed annoyed as I spoke with him and in mid sentence he cut me off and told me he was on lunch and he could help me as soon as he came back.. (this may sound odd ), but if you're on Lunch, why would you hang around the department you work at with your uniform on and and your name badge. He went to the back and got another employee who seemed overwhelmed with work. He was sweaty and had car grease all over him. He asked the gentleman who was on lunch if he could take my order as the tires were special order. He told the overwhelmed worker he was on lunch and had 10 min left.
The 2nd worker apologize to me and asked if I could give him a few min as he was almost complete with the car.. No problem I said and he left. A few other people came to the department as well and the 1st guy walked right away. A page was sent over the intercom and a Manager came by and asked who had been helped or not. The manager sent a page for help at the tire department and here comes the 1st guy. The manager said he would help and she walked away. The 1st guy says, "I told you I was on lunch and was coming right back," in a stern voice. I told him I didnt call for a manager to call for help but he seemed even more upset. After going thru some choices I chose a set and paid for delivery. 4 days go by and no call, so I called just to get an update. When I finally got thru the tires had been there for 2 day already.. Since I had already paid for the installation I told him I would be in on Monday the 6th for install.
When I arrived there was nobody at the counter so I asked a worker to page someone to the tires dept. 5min later guess who walks to the counter...with a look of disgust on his face. I spoke with him and let him know I was ready to have the tires put on (seeing how they were there for a few days & no one called to let me know). After the installation the annoyed worker torqued all the lights except the one that required a wheel lock. He said they dont need to be because the impact gun was just fine for those.. OK.. I was already frustrated because of the experience that I just wanted to get out of there.. After everything was done and I'm driving away I noticed my car's tire pressure sensor light on. I pull over at the local 7-11 & all my tires had a different pressure. One tire was as high as 44 and the Driver's front was at 28.
Hand down if you value good customer service and peace of mind, DO NOT get your tires for the Sam's Club on 192 in Kissimmee. You will be Extremely DISAPPOINTED with the work and the employees you deal with at the Tire & Battery center. I have full receipts and 640$ dollars later I wish I had gone somewhere else.

I returned an online dining table that was picked up by Pilot Freight via Sam's Club over three weeks ago. The item has been received into Seattle warehouse with email confirmation of the return. I have spent every single day calling the 800 number to receive my credit back to my credit card to no avail after hours per day speaking to the most incompetent employees escalated to supervisors who now claim it was credited back a week ago despite me putting my credit card Chase Bank on the phone to confirm to Sam's Club that that is false. No credits back shown for over two years on my card.
They can’t figure out how to manually credit me 550.00 and yet keep my money and the returned item. Completely illegal and I have tons of receipts, recorded conversations, names of supervisors, email exchanges and after three plus weeks no resolution on my refund and when you call the 800 number you are speaking to the Philippines with people who are incompetent and unprofessional. It’s insanity. I hate this company and they make Costco look like heaven on earth.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! We purchased an outdoor table online on April 21st. They delivered it & since we read reviews we knew to open the box before the delivery person left & check it. Good thing we did because the tile was shattered in multiple places. We rejected the delivery & had them take it back on May 11th. I called customer service & 2 weeks later they delivered another table. Same thing, we opened it & once again the tile was shattered. Again we denied the delivery & sent it back. I apologized to the delivery man that he had to come back out to our home twice. He made the comment that it didn't matter to him because he got paid either way. Therein lies the first problem. They send out 1 person to deliver a table that weighs 200 lbs. & he could care less if he breaks it because in his words he gets paid either way.
I called customer service again & spoke with Gracie & requested a replacement since we really wanted the table & got it on sale. We figured we'd give Sam's one more chance. Big mistake! Not only did she not order a replacement but she didn't input the rejection so it basically showed that we had the table. She told me she'd send an incident email to the back office and I should hear from them within 24 hours or less. I never did. I called 2 days later & after holding for over 30 minutes I spoke with a supervisor named RJ. At that point I was obviously furious & requested a refund. He told me he couldn't give me a refund because their records didn't show we rejected the delivery. I told him we had no product & I wanted a refund ASAP! After holding for what seemed like forever he finally came back & said we would get a refund in 3- 5 business days.
After an entire week we still had not gotten a refund. I called on June 1st & spoke with a supervisor named Marjorie. She told me that RJ never competed the refund process. I told her I wanted a refund pronto. That it had been over a month & a half at this point. I was on hold & our phone call took well over an hour before she finally came back & told me we'd have a refund in 48 hours. It took 5 business days before we got a refund finally! I also told her I'd like to cancel my membership.
We've been members of Sam's for over 30 years. She offered to extend my membership for another year at their cost, but then told me she was only able to give me 6 months. Not surprising after the shoddy customer service I'd already dealt with. We purchased a table from Costco & the experience was like night & day compared to Sam's. I highly recommend cancelling your membership with Sam's & going with Costco instead. You won't regret it. Sam's Club will not be getting our business ever again!

I have been a member of Sam's Club for over 21 years and there are few instances I have experienced issues. However, the most recent visits have been extremely unpleasant. On 06/06/2020, after shopping, I stopped in the Lady's Room to find it was an atrocious mess. I approached the manager, Brandi to let her know the condition of the bathroom.
Her response left me feeling as a child after a negative scolding from a parent. Another employee responded and stated, "We know Honey, it's been like that for hours." I asked if she was aware there was TP full of stool scattered on the floor and she replied this was known as they had been in there. The location of this club is not an area where customers are used to this type of filth and the condition of the bathroom, response from the manager and employee, acknowledging they were aware, is extremely unacceptable.
Today, 06/09/2020, there were several issues. 1. A new futon was sitting outside the customer service desk and I wanted to purchase. I asked an employee for help with obtaining the sku to purchase as the item was not yet on the shelf. I wanted to purchase and return home for a trailer to transport the item. The employee told me he felt it was best for me to come back after the item was put on the shelf. He refused to obtain the sku from the item. I explained I was not available tomorrow and would pick up today. He told me to come back and purchase when I had the means to take the item at that time. I had to go and obtain the sku, go to customer service who summoned the manager who would ring up at the register.
Brandi was the manager.... The cashier was Meeka (not sure of name) who I perceived as unapproachable. As she scanned my items, she kept turning a box with 2 plants over, breaking the stems on one plant and the sign in the pot... (no attention to detail). At the registers, there were bottles of Coke with a note attached stating, customer would get a Coke if cashier did not ask customer about Sam's credit card. My son asked me if we would receive a free Coke... I asked the cashier, Meeka, who states, "What are you talking about." I pointed to a Coke on the register behind us and she states, "I don't have that sign."
This was not TRUE, there was a bottle of Coke placed under the counter where the credit card machine was on Meeka's register and I pointed it out. Brandi interjected and stated the Cokes were for a weekend promotion and not today. Okay, this would have been acceptable, but Meeka then stated, "You can have a Coke if you want one" and when I stated okay, she pointed to the Cokes at the Deli, just before my daughter grabbed a Coke, Meeka rolled her eyes and stated, "You can have one but you are going to pay for it, you cannot have it for free," then rolled her eyes again with a smirk on her face. I felt this was unnecessary!!
I walked out but with the urge to say something to Meeka but held in my emotion. However, I called the service desk to let them know I would return in an hour but I was very upset about Meeka's behavior. NOT only did she lie about not having a Coke bottle at her register, she behaved very unprofessional. It was unnecessary for her to offer a Coke, demonstrating poor behavior and what I perceived was taunting me and my children. The Service Desk member told me she would get me a Coke when I arrived... Unfortunately, she was not at the desk. Instead, Brandi responded and proceeded to argue with me and in her arguing she made me recognize her unprofessionalism and recall the incident from 06/06/2020.
Brandi proceeded to argue not as she was having a discussion with a customer but rather an enemy in the street. Brandi ultimately walked away and could not be located. She lied when stating - Coke not at Meek's register and Cokes at every other register... I find it very unprofessional and poor taste to lie to customers. I learned Meeka is also a manager and Brandi was looking to locate her. So what I found, Brandi and Meeka are managers, and in my opinion very unqualified. What type of quality customer service Sam's has to offer...? What happened to hiring qualified individuals? There are SO MANY people out of work and much more qualified. Where does Sam's find these folks. I spend so much money at this store and I will not be going back until Sam's makes it right.

Ordered a Member's Mark outdoor patio furniture set from Sam'sClub.com. When it was delivered, the box was so badly damaged that I should have refused shipment. The delivery guys apologized and said that Sam's Club makes them deliver products regardless of damage to packaging. He noted on the delivery invoice that the box was crushed and torn open.
As expected, the furniture had several small dents and scratches, one of the chairs had a hole in it and it was missing several cushions. I called the number on the order, which turned out to be the vendor, and they told me that they have no parts and cannot replace the damaged items. I called Sam's Club and after spending 45 minutes on hold they told me I need to talk to their Members Mark customer service group. After another 30 minutes on hold, I spoke to someone and started the return process. They scheduled to have the furniture picked up and gave me a 3 hour window the following Monday. That window has now passed and I've been on hold for over an hour trying to get someone to help.

The member care rep stated it would not be a problem to cancel even though the order had already been processed and my account had already been charged $880. He even went ahead and said if it was picked up by FedEx they would have it returned to the vendor without issues. He said I should receive my refund 3 to 5 business days. Everything was great until a week later I still had no refund.
A month later and after speaking to about 10 member care reps I have still not received my refund. I have written down 6 different reference numbers for my records and every time I call they tell me the same thing "sorry mr. ******, we made an error on our end and I assure you will receive your refund from 3 to 5 business days".
I am to the point of calling my bank to file a fraud claim. As of today 6/4/2020 I gave them one last chance and spoke to yet again another member care representative. He gave me the same answer "there was an error on their end and you will see your refund 3 to 5 business days". I wish I would have known from the beginning it would have been such a hassle to cancel an order and I would have just kept the unit. At least I could have sold it and recouped some of my money.

I have been a Sam's Club member for over 30 years. Along the way I have had some problems and mainly manged to work them out with the Customer Service Representatives or the Store Manager. I can not say the same for Samsclub.com. Almost every time I have ordered something there have been major issues. This last order is no exception and I will never use Samsclub.com again.
This time I ordered a mattress and the vendor (Zinus, Inc.) messed up the address and Fedex delivered it to a wrong address. Eventually, they sent it back to the vendor. A month later and I never got the mattress. I had to do all of the work to try and get my money back. This ended up being five calls to Fedex and more than that to Samsclub.com after talking to about five tier 1 people and two supervisors and never getting a call back or email as promised and 28 days from the initial order they are telling me I have to wait another 10 or so days.
There are tier 1 people who don't know what they are doing or what their options are and the supervisors are no better and give to followup as they promised. It doesn't help that they outsource their customer support. This is one of these incidents where you are fighting with 3 systems, Samsclub.com, Fedex and the Vendor (Zinus).
I may be old fashioned but in the past when a system goofed up the merchant took responsibility and made it right with the customer. They offered a different item, an upgrade, express shipping, etc. These days you have to do all of the customer support and fight the systems for yourself. I spent approximately an hour on the phone every time I called. It is easy to blame it on the covid-19 virus and not accept any personal responsibility. I will order from Amazon in the future who delivers their own stuff and they take pictures of the delivery in case the porch pirates attack you!

I signed up for a Sam's Club membership recently and it was pretty awful. First, registering took forever. We waited in line for about 15 minutes. When it was finally our turn, we had to keep moving around the customer service island. I felt like cattle eating at one of those circular hay bail feeders. We changed kiosks 3 times.
When that was all over, I had my membership and shopped in the store. They were out of quite a few things. Not just Coronavirus essentials like toilet paper, but also diapers and laundry detergent. So I wasn't impressed. When I checked out, I had to wait in a long line to get out because they have to check your receipt and there were at least 12 people in front of me. Not a great 1st experience.
A couple days later, I went back to try them again. Not as chaotic as the first day, but still low or missing inventory. Fast forward. I tried to buy a Nintendo Switch online. The app said they had some. I added it, paid and received an email about my order. Curious, I went back to the app an hour later and my order said Sam's canceled it. I never received any communication that it had been canceled. A day later, another store nearby had some. Repeat. Canceled. No communication. I chatted with support to find out what was up. The service was awful. She didn't directly answer any of my questions and just said it was canceled due to low inventory. I asked about the lack of communication twice and she never answered that question.
Fast forward. I go to order some stuff off the app for pick up two days later and I couldn't log in. I call, per the instructions given, wait on hold for 10 minutes, finally press a number for them to call me back and they called almost an hour later. Dude told me my card was invalid and they had no record of the card # I was holding in my hand and he kept giving me a different number. While the guy was apologetic, he had no idea why my card was revoked and didn't understand the card I was physically holding had a different ID number than the one in their system. I went to the store the next day and got a refund and the woman there had no idea why the original card was revoked. Will never do business at Sam's Club again. My experience is with the Tallahassee, FL location. Hope this review helps someone else. Go with Costco instead!

My first two orders were a king size mattress and memory foam (2 separate orders), which both got lost in transit and after calling and weeding through the horrible customer service agents each time, I finally got new items shipped out. I received each item about 1-2 months after the original expected delivery date. Since then I have placed a few online pick up in store orders, which prove just how dysfunctional this store really is. I show up and they can't find the first order, leaving me standing there for over 20 minutes. Next time they cancel part of my order even though the website shows the item as in stock, and they don't provide any alternative (such as shipping the item, or replacing it and having me pick up at a later date).
This place is truly trying to be Costco, but they will never be as well ran or have the amazing customer service that Costco provides. Honestly just save your money and your time. Plus, Costco has a way better food court (the food is actually hot and doesn't make you sick like Sam's Club's food court). Overall this business deserves less than 1 star.

I rented an Enterprise vehicle via Sam’s Club. It was a prepaid rental scheduled to begin on February 4, 2020 and end on February 11, 2020. When I picked up the car on February 4 I mentioned that I might return it one day early. Enterprise staff said “No problem - we only charge you for the days you have the car.” When I returned the car on February 10, I mentioned that I was bringing it back one day early. Enterprise staff said “No problem - we only charge you for the days you have the car.”
When I did not see a credit on my card, I called Enterprise. They told me that I needed to call Sam’s Club because the rental had been made through them. When I called Sam’s Club (and after waiting perhaps 15 minutes on hold) I was told that neither Sam’s Cub nor Enterprise were going to give me the credit that I should have received. They said that it had something to do with the rental having been prepaid but THAT’S UTTER NONSENSE. LESSON - DON’T DEAL WITH SAM’S CLUB car rental.

Beware of the Sam's credit card sham. The card offers credit back to the newly opened account if you make a purchase on the same day the account is opened. However it should read if you make a purchase with the new account for which you have no number or any way to make a purchase. I made the purchase with another card and the company refused to honor the credit towards the new account. I would not recommend this card and would think hard about a company that condones that type of behavior. I am sure Mr. Walton would roll over in his grave if he was aware of the way fellow Americans are being treated.

So over a month ago I went on their website. I ordered 2 twin mattresses and paid for them. After like a week I got a delivery scheduled and had to be there when they showed up (thank GOD I did). They brought out 2 of them off the truck and I noticed something wrong with one of them. There was a hole in the middle of it. So I asked the guys if they can take them back or they will just need to replace the damaged one. They said they will deliver one and return the damaged piece for replacement. Cool. When it came to signing off the delivery form I made sure to write that 1/2 only was delivered plus I have a camera above my door recording anyways.
I waited to hear from Sam's Club about the second half of my order but nothing for over a week. I decided to give them a call just to hear that my order was completed and delivered! Hold on a sec. That doesn't sound right. I asked the agent that barely understood English to figure out the issue and the call was fine. I don't hear anything for a few days so I call again. I talk to someone and then on hold and then someone else is on the phone. I ask who they are and it's Serta and she was all cocky. Why am I dealing with serta anyways. So she tells me they need a confirmation for a delivery company and they cannot do anything for me unless that company reports it. Boom out the window goes my second mattress and 421 dollars...
Sam'sclub is not even trying to help. I call and tweet with them almost every 2 days and oh "our team is reviewing", "it's escalated to back office", "we will call you in 72 hrs"... Now it's over a month to get a mattress or my money back and neither is happening. Their people are barely able to help or understand you. The people in store tell me they do not deal with online orders except to take a return and confirm it but no refund or anything. I am just fed up with their service completely.

Ordered a couch online and was never told about this "white glove service".. The delivery company sent me a link to choose a date and time for delivery so I picked a day and took off work, only to wait the entire day before calling and being told it was never out for delivery bc they "werent in my area" so I called Sam's Club and requested a refund for this extra charge and explained I could not take off work again for this and to leave it on the porch ASAP. Two days later I get a call saying they are 10 minutes from my house and require a signature. NO COMMUNICATION. The delivery company had to fax me a paper at work to sign saying I received the couch when I had no clue if it was really on my porch or not. I still havent received a refund.

I ordered 1 month ago and cake for my Father in laws 75th birthday. The employee at the time was so nice helping me with the cake. This past Saturday I called the bakery in Augusta, Ga first thing in the morning to see if my cake happened to be ready. The lady on the phone was very rude. She was short and snippy and told me it would be ready at 12. I was fine with that.
At 1 pm we showed up and they couldn't locate my cake. AMANDA started yelling at me saying I called this morning and said to move it to Sunday. I explained that no I didn't, that I called asking if I could pick it up early. She proceeded to tell at me saying that is not what I said. I explained that the party was that night a 6pm. She was extremely unprofessional. I was asking her when my cake would be ready and she started throwing a tantrum saying she can't work in this condition with me talking to her. I then spoke with the bakery manager and she made excuses like she told her employees not to take orders 1 month in advance and a lady is coming to make my cake. This was by far the worst experience I have had. People have said you get the customer service at Costco. I guess we will go there now. Shame on you Sam's!

Sam's Club is my favorite place to shop. They have great prices on many items that include some really neat things which are unexpected. Even though most of the items are sold in extra large sizes it makes sense to buy them because you save a lot of money and time. They also have a rewards program for the plus members which gives cash back at the end of the membership year. They are part of Walmart so you know they're a good company. I recommend Sam's Club highly because it gives you great value for the money. They also have a pharmacy, photo center, optical department, tire department where they not only sell their tires but also install them. They have great prices on mattresses, appliances and even clothing. Sam's Club also sell liquor at a discounted price.

I am a plus member, one of my benefits is 20% off eye glasses. My local and only Sam's Club in Connecticut does not have an optical department. So I called Sam's club customer service, please see the attachment of my call log showing the number I called and that I was on the phone for one hour and forty eight minutes.
My reason for calling was to see how I can take advantage of this benefit that comes with the $100 membership fee. I was hoping that it would of been a quick and easy fix. For example maybe given the option to go to my local Walmart and given the 20 % discount there. Instead I was told to go to Medford, NY. This is their next closest Sam's Club that has optical, I told their customer service representative that would be a three hour drive one way. He then put me on hold, he came back after 15 minutes that was my only option. I asked to speak to a supervisor, without exaggeration it took over an hour for someone to get back on the phone with me. The phone call started in my home, I was able to dress and load my children into my car, drive 20 minutes to Walmart, do some Christmas shopping, load my children back in the car and as soon as I got in the car a person came back on the line.
I explained everything again to the second person and mentioned that I was on hold for over an hour and just looking to receive the benefits I pay for. After he put me on hold again, he came back to tell me the same thing. Except this time he offered to downgrade my membership since I wasn't happy that I can't receive all my benefits.
I kept it for now, but if this is how Sam's Club treats their plus members who are just looking to receive the benefits that they were sold on I will definitely return my membership the day before it renews since it's 100% guaranteed. I hope to hear from someone who can explain to me why I have to make a six hour drive to get a 20% benefit discount. The two other clubs that were in Connecticut had optical, but they were closed. Can I suggest that If you're going to sell plus membership and sell people on optical and tires service benefits for plus members, that the only club in that state actually has those departments.

They probably do this all the time to many customers.

I contacted Sam's Club membership services a month prior to my renewal date in order to cancel my membership. I spoke with Jon in the Philippines regarding the cancelation. It was my understanding that the membership had been canceled, but today, a month later, I received a pending charge for the $45 membership renewal fee. I reached out to Sam's Club today to speak with someone and was told I would have to wait approximately 25 minutes to speak with someone. This is unacceptable.

Me and my spouse have purchased clothing from this store a number of times throughout the year, and are emphatically pleased with each item we buy. Each time we buy clothes from Sam's Club, the quality and durability is quite exceptional. Most of the time we are looking for clothes for our children, with an occasional splurge on ourselves. The clothes have the same quality as big box retail stores, there are name brand items, as well as not so well known vendors. However, the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and lasting comfort have well indeed sold us on buying from this member's only store.
The colors are wide ranging, the designed clothing is current with styles folks are wearing, and they withstand washing without color fading, shrinkage, or fraying. Which is more than I can say about some of the popular name brands consistently advertised on television. Not all of the items I can say for certain, are made in the USA, since I didn't look through each and every rack, but for the most part, a lot of the clothing that I seen was developed, and manufactured right here in our own backyard factories of America. I do continue to buy from other places too, but for the assessment of my recent purchase, it came from one of my favored places to shop for quality clothing, at a reasonable price.

I have been a business member since 2003.

Called customer service and was told that the district manager was going to call. This was almost a month ago and still no resolution. I expect this from Walmart not from a membership store. Caitlyn was very rude and was making faces. We told them that we drove 30 mins. and had a response from Stephanie (lead) that it wasn’t far and she drives an hour. Ridiculous!

I bought a Sam's club membership for a one-time purchase. Almost a year later, I began receiving emails saying my membership was being renewed. Apparently there's an automatic renewal unless you opt out. Before the renewal, I sent sent two emails and a chat message telling them I "absolutely" did not want the membership renewed. It renewed anyway. I went to the local Sam's Club three times to get it cancelled. They finally directed me to a phone number which I called while there. The agent said she would get back to me to complete cancellation. She never did.
Today I called that number again three times to cancel. The first agent transferred me to someone else who hung up on me after I said I wanted to cancel. The second one kept directing me back to a main menu. The third one, John ?, stayed on the line until he confirmed that the next agent actually would help me cancel the membership and she did, giving me a reference number for the cancellation. I think this is now resolved. It's really mean of Sam's Club to take so much of my time and aggravation just to let me cancel the membership. Be sure not to sign anything re automatic renewal if you can help it unless you want automatic renewal. Nancy

I purchased a trash can online. It took a long time to get delivered and when it finally got delivered it came damaged. I immediately called customer service and spoke with someone that I could barely understand. She charged me for a replacement part before I even gave her the go ahead to charge my credit card again. They said I had to go to the store to return it before they could refund me my money. I felt like I should not have to waste my time and my money bringing the item that was shipped to me damaged, and that someone should have came and picked it up. They would not do this so I asked for a manager.
After being on hold for over 20 minutes a manager came and said the same thing. I told her I didn't think that was fair and feel I should receive some sort of compensation for my time, money and hassle. They told me again they couldn't do anything for me and that there was no one else to speak to me. She said these exact words "listen to the words coming out of my mouth, there is nothing we can do for you".
I am completely disgusted with the absolutely HORRIBLE customer service Sam's Club has. So like they told me, I went to Sam's Club to return the item. I drove there, waited in line at customer service for them to call a manager over and tell me that they couldn't take the item as it would throw off their inventory. So the online customer service is telling me to take it to a Sam's Club and the in store Sam's Club is telling me they won't take it and I have to call customer service back.
In store they actually said "the customer service people on the phone were probably just telling you whatever you wanted to hear to get you off the phone, but we can't take this here." I have never dealt with a more un-helpful and unprofessional company and will never purchase an item from them anymore. Still no resolution.

I like Sam's Club overall. I like the clubs, the people who work there, the selection, the prices, and the quality of Sam's Club's private-label brands. In fact, I do most of my shopping there (usually at the Kingston, New York club). The quality of their store-brand items is one of the reasons I shop there. Their Members Mark denim jeans, for example, are the best jeans I've ever worn and are quite inexpensive. Their coffee, olive oil, and in fact every private-label item I've bought have also been excellent.
If I were reviewing only the in-club experience, in fact, I would give Sam's Club five stars. But alas, their online experience is lacking. They've never failed to fulfill an order, but it's a coin toss whether the orders will arrive on-time. In summary, overall, I like Sam's Club best of the three big-name wholesale clubs. But they do need improvement in their online operations. I'm sure they'll get there; but as it stands now, I'd be hesitant to recommend that you buy a Sam's Club membership unless you plan to use it primarily in-club.

Rep called his Manager who referred him onto the carrier rep, who in turn referred onto their supervisor. Ultimately they would not honor the price and sent me to the store Manager.

I was then referred onto the online customer service and received a similar answer all why standing at the customer service counter. I had the store manager talk to the online CSR, but both pointed to the other. The CSR tried to get me a gift card for the difference but it was not approved by their manager. After 2 hours of talking to everyone in the store and online they decided their was not anything they could do. This was an unfortunate experience and hope no one else wastes their time on a fake price like I had to.

No flavor or seasoning at all.

My husband said we bought this and it was terrible. She then said, "I bought it for my husband and he love it and he is very picky." In a hateful tone and frowning the whole time.

It was Father's Day June 16, 2019, my wife ordered a Rascal Elite II mobility scooter from Sam's Club online site. It was supposed to be a surprise for me because I am disabled. I can only walk or stand for short periods of time. Well, no more than 30 minutes after she placed the order she decided to tell me about the surprise.

This notice was sent to me from Sam's Club and I received a text from FedEx that it would be delivered in a few hours. I immediately went into hyper mode to stop the delivery.

I purchased Serta Wynstone mattress to replace an 8 year old Serta foam mattress which my doctor suggested might be part of the cause of back pain. So far I am very pleased with the mattress quality and comfort. The "Sam's-Serta White Glove" delivery service left a lot to be desired. The mattress was received in good condition so I have no real monetary claim against Ryder. My complaint is regarding the quality of service.
The mattress was received by Ryder in Tempe, AZ on Monday, May 6th, which was 7 days BEFORE the quoted arrival date. I immediately called the Columbus Ohio scheduling department and was told the truck would not be in my area until Thursday, which would have been acceptable but they would not guarantee a morning or afternoon time period. The delivery time would be established by the dispatcher during the routing process. As a result of Ryder's policy and the fact that I had appointments scheduled for Thursday and Friday mornings, that left me with Saturday only, which I accepted reluctantly.
When the routing was done, I was informed it would be delivered between 3-5 pm on Saturday. About 1 pm I got a call saying the truck was being delayed by other deliveries and would arrive about 6 PM. At 5:30 pm I got another call saying the truck had broke down in Tucson and would need to be towed into the yard and my delivery would need to be rescheduled for the following week. I told Dan, the dispatcher, that was totally unacceptable unless he would guarantee me a 8-10 am time on Monday. He would not agree to that.
During the conversation he mentioned that he MIGHT be able to get the other Tucson delivery team to pick up the mattress from the disabled truck and then deliver to me. The MIGHT statement was made because the dispatcher could not require the other team to assist because the drivers are contractors, not employees of Ryder. Thank you to the 2nd driver-contractor that stepped up to satisfy his customer. That is what eventually happened by 7:30 PM on Saturday.
As someone who was in the transportation business, including final mile delivery service, Ryder's attitude and corporation to me as Sam's customer was totally wrong. They were unwilling to meet my schedule requirements, 6 day delivery delay is not good and they allow their operation to be controlled by independent operators that, apparently, use unreliable equipment.
When I complained to Sam's Club, I got a very polite reply from Dejan'e advising me to call the shipper with my claim. I just thought Sam's Club might want to be aware of how their customers are being treated by the delivery company. Save yourself the aggravation and have your mattress shipped to the store. If Sam Walton was alive today and running his company I think he would agree with my assessment. I will remember this when my Sam's Club renewal comes up.

I wrote the following review about an order I placed for a swing set for my daughter and received the below reply from Sam's Club about my review. I will never do business with them again. "My wife and I purchased this swing set on April 22, 2019 with the delivery date set at May 1, 2019. We purchased it with enough time so we could receive it and set it up in time for our daughter's birthday on May 11th. After the transport company that Sam's Club uses sent the swing set to Texas instead to my location in Maryland it did not arrive until May 10th at 1:30pm so needless to say not nearly enough time to set this swing setup.
Sam's Club was blaming the transport company and only offered a $100 off once it arrived and told my wife and I we would have to contact the transport company for further information on delivery. Sam's Club did not honor their delivered by date and did not respond to further emails from me about this issue. They also tried to blame the delay on the fact that the swing set weights 1100lbs and would take time to get here. Well only a week before we had an 800lbs pool delivered to us from Amazon and it only took 3 days to get to our residence. If you can afford the $400 more Amazon was charging for this swing set I would use them not Sam's Club."

Paid for Membership in early March. Tried to buy a few items in late April. Was auto-charged again for Membership. Club personnel could not fix or find the receipt. Told me to go home and find my receipt from March. They could not find on their system. Went home. Found my March receipt with the membership charge on it. Also found online after logging into Samsclub.com. Called Sam’s Club Member Services. Eva advised that there was nothing they could do, she could not see receipts from the club, only online orders. Advised to take the receipt to the club. Seems they have modified their systems to keep auto charging for membership renewal until you jump through hoops to actually get their systems to reflect that you paid for membership.

Called customer service, told them that you had sent me an email to call you regarding an order. Customer service told me “this is strange, why would they do that, I never heard of anything like that.” Customer service didn’t even want to ask me what the order number was. After some debates and arguments, and I had to TELL HIM to ASK me about the order number, he transferred me to the “Verification Department” which asked me about my name, my address, last 4 numbers of my credit card, expiration date of the credit card. Finally, I found it ridiculous that he (after all that) wanted me to give him my date of birth. Seemed to me as if I’m applying for a government assistance. The result was: Sam's Club canceled my order.

I used to love getting gas at Sam's Club but today I put $20 of gasoline in my car and they charged me $100 plus the $20 I put in my car. When I went to customer service they proceeded to tell me it was a “soft charge” and eventually would be returned to me. Regardless, a $100 for $20 is ridiculous!!! I will never get gas at Sam's again! I may not even renew my membership!!!

Sam's Club closed most of the stores in NJ. For getting the cash back Sam's Club forces to go to a store and renew your membership which you would not be using because you do not have any stores close by.

The tires I bought a sam's club never held air. I was constantly going back to have them checked. The only reply I would get is it is due to the weather. Please... I have had many tires in my life and never this much trouble. Needless to say they wore out in record time. Save yourself from stress and go anywhere else. Terrible service and even worse tires.

I have had three accounts (Sam's Club, Gaps and Amazon) credit limits raised then suddenly lowered and then closed without notice or correspondence. Since I review my monthly statements, I noticed this trend only on my Synchrony accounts. My hardest hit account is my Sam's Club account. Synchrony raised my credit limit from 1000 to 3000 then suddenly lowered it to 1800 without notifying me. Since the outstanding balance was already over 1800. I was charge a over limit fees. When I made a payment that was well above the minimum payment amount. Synchrony lowered my limit again. This continued on for three months.
Each time Synchrony charge me a over limit fees, which has ruined my credit. I continue to make payments to avoid the over limit fees, but Synchrony continue to lower the max limit right below the outstanding balance and charge me an over limit fee. This trend appeared on my Gaps and Amazon accounts as well. When I called Synchrony to get an explanation. The agent told me Synchrony has closed my accounts and sent them to collection. When attempting to settle my debt with the collection department. The collection agent told me I will need to pay $9,000 to settle my debt. My original outstanding debt was $3,000. It is impossible to pay this debt back. I paid all my payments on time, never was late and usually paid over the minimum. Now, I am being harassed by Synchrony collection bank. Synchrony will not allow me to pay off my original amount until I pay off all their fees. Consumers beware!

Went to Sam's Club to buy Samsung Galaxy S10+. Byron was excellent sales associate. Had phone shown to be defective. Called cell phone service provider. They had told me about the phones had glitches and that I should take it back to store. So I drove to Sam's Club. From minute one sales associates were no help. 1st I had to wait for associate to get back from break. He then tried to put responsibility on the service provider then said the 14 days had run up but when I showed my contract to him with 30/14 day contract. He said he'd go talk to another Sam's Club associate. Came back. Said I could only deactivate phone. After talking to him for a bit he called Byron head of the wireless. They looked through the PC thru facetime and I even seen the extension on 14 day warranty.
Byron told him he would call the wireless distributor. They said they instructed him to go to corporate provider store. For exchange defective phone. I said, "Well let's just deactivate phone then which was stated that my contract would be able to do". And then the sales associate. Told me I could even do that. I asked to speak to another sales associate then another gentleman came over. Said it's a manufacturer's problem. I needed to contact Samsung. I stated that the phone was defective and asked if they could even help. They wouldn't stand behind something they sold even within contract details. They were polite in telling me "Your problem not mine." Worst experience with Sam's Club ever.

My husband and I went to Sam's for eyeglasses. We have been members for over 20 years. The woman in the dept. never got out of her chair. When I mentioned to my husband that she would help us once he chose some frames, she commented "If you're happy with them, I am". She did not help with the choice. She did fit the lens according to his prescription. She waited on him again when he picked them up. She did not fit the glasses to his face. She was no more helpful than a cashier. They were lopsided and the bows were not adjusted to his ears. He went to another optical store near our home to get them adjusted- but then ended up returning them to Sam's. The man at the optical dept. was gracious about his returning them. We will not attempt to purchase glasses there again.

I have tried to get my rewards several times. First at the checkout, mid month March 2019. Then today 1 April 2019, chatted with my Sam's Club account verifying both amount due on credit card & my reward amount. I even asked about how to get my rewards, this morning. The response was Customer Service. Today before noon, I go in & want to get the rewards to apply to my bill. I was told that I had the wrong credit card with the wrong expiration date (2/21). That my rewards was put on another card with a longer expiration date. How odd? First this current card was issued in May, 2019. Second, never was there any mention of this before by anyone. Third, I do not have another card. Sam's Club is customers inconvenienced & MISLED & MISINFORMATION EVEN WHEN ASKED. Don't be an April fool 2019, JOIN COSTCO instead.

There was only one cashier at the check out at 7 am. The girl was nice not rude about that she was unavailable to check me out by herself. I talk with the assist manager after leaving my cart there, there was no apology was offered but she said that she would help. My outlook by then was I was going to leave and come back other day. I tried to call the general manager to leave feedback on what happened. When I call the girl that picked up the phone was nice, when she transferred me to the general manager the phone ring for about 4 mins. Not the way to be the boss. Thanks. Rob.

Do not buy tires from Sam's. Bought 4 Michelin tires almost 1 year ago... Tires were an 8 when I bought them. They are now a 4 (tread wear). Went to Sam's. Told them the tires are not holding up and wearing. Sam's would not offer any help. Said tires have to be a 2 in order to help. :( Very poor service. I even asked if they would pay 1/2 for each tire and I would pay the other 1/2 and they said no! I paid $600. For all 4. Do not buy tires from Sam's. They never answer phone in tire department. I had to end up going there in person!

I was a Sam's Club member from November 2017 until November 2018. I had the Sam's credit card issued by Synchrony Bank. At this time, I have $27.77 in cash back rewards. Sam's Club will not honor this and give me my money because I am no longer a member. The money was accrued under their old system which they changed in February 2019. I feel it is totally unethical for them not to issue me my earned cash back either by check or cash. Please be aware of my situation and don't let it happen to you. If I would join again, they would give me the money. I feel that they are holding my money hostage.
