Called to dispute the charge, obviously for the second time. Talked to three different associates and a manager on customer service. The 2nd person was the most helpful and was agreeing with me that she found what I was talking about but ironically the call got "disconnected". The other two associates and the manager swear they don't know where the charge is coming from. How can I have a pending charge from your business and you can't find it? It was unauthorized especially considering my membership shows expired. They will try to cheat you out of money.

Ordered a product for delivery today and while processing I realized I ordered the wrong flavored applesauce. Chatted first and then called the store to see if it could be swapped less than an hour into processing and was told no I couldn’t. I was told I would have to go into the store to exchange it. There wasn’t a bar code in the digital receipt one, two I ordered it for my child to have while away for the summer so I’m not present. And to put the cherry on top. I used my debit card to make the transaction and didn’t realize Sam’s Club does an authorization charge for the full amount and then charge when you pick up or when it’s delivered. Most companies charge a dollar authorization that will fall off. These greedy imbeciles take the full amount “to make sure it’s there.”

I am not sure why my membership was revoked. I simply contacted Sam Club regarding a purchase of a tire that has blown out. Why am I being retaliated and discriminated against? Are you covering this issue to avoid liability? Tony stated that he will look into the tire purchase as he stated it was sometime between 2021 to 2022 but I told him I was not sure exactly when it was purchased. I also had simply inquired about the annual membership as your store assistant manager told me it will be waived until I receive the tire sensors and they are installed. I just sent an email to ceo Kathryn.Mclay@samsclub.com and Chris.nicholas@samsclub.com and they retaliated and discriminated against me.

I have had poor service from Sam’s Club at Sam’s Club in the store and online for waaay too many years. Enough is enough. Rude employees, rude “managers”, employees untrained in handling returns or basic customer service issues. I just got off of the phone with “customer service”. The worst experience ever! A 40 minute wait to speak with someone, meanwhile, I was disconnected 3 times from virtual chats. One time by a supervisor who asked for my phone number and promised to call me right back. Well, he didn’t. When I called in a 4th time, the wait was shorter, but the cs rep said she needed to transfer the call and hung up! That’s over an hour that I will never get back. Meanwhile, I’m stuck for the 2nd time with a product that was delivered with an expired date.

My husband & I stopped by store #6368 in Chesapeake, VA on May 12, 2024 to get toilet paper, yet we bought more items as would be expected. We got three mixed salads in the food area (Broccoli, Mediterranean & Chicken Salad), 4 lbs. of 88%/12% ground beef, 2 packs of lamb chops, & the bath tissue (I always buy this product at Sam's--best value). The salads were really good, especially the Chicken Salad. We had hamburgers yesterday for lunch & those are the meatiest burgers that we have ever eaten. It was like eating a steak! And my husband says that he "loved" the lamb chops. We were very much satisfied with our visit & purchase there. A lady that works in the meat dept strongly suggested the Med Salad, therefore she was very nice & personable. This is one of the best stores overall that we've ever shopped. Thank you.

I've been a member over 15 years and service has been getting worse in the last couple of months. Orders have been incorrect for the last 2 months. Always calling to get a refund for items left off the list after they indicated they double checked my order. No longer carry variety of frozen vegetables; no longer carry variety of turkey and chicken sausage. Starting to carry less and less food that I've order something as simple as biscuits. Costco seems to have a better variety of healthy foods. This is the Laurel, MD location. They don't care.

I have been a Sam's Club member for several years, and up to the last year I was a happy customer. They started discontinuing items that I would buy regularly, and are only found at Sam's Club. Some of these items are Members Mark Organic Coffee Single Serve Cups (100 per box), Oregon Trail Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Aussie Bites, Zatarain's Frozen Cajon Rice and Shrimp, and a delicious whole grain bread (forgot the name, it may have been Milton's). When I called the corporate office to complain, I had a nice man named Ed who confirmed they were all discontinued. I am mostly upset about the coffee.
Why discontinue the organic, and the only organic in the single serve cups! He offered to try to order with me similar items, but I didn't have time to stay on the line. One of these items, the Cinnamon bread, had a similar variety already from another brand found in food stores. It pales in comparison to Oregon Trails! Discontinuing my coffee was the last straw! I will not be renewing membership.

I got a very sad experience from Sam’s Club Riverview Store yesterday Sunday May 19, 2024 while we are about to finish our shopping, I ordered foods from the Cafe Department in advance and I paid it to my Sam’s mobile apps. After paying our groceries at the register, I proceeded to the Cafe counter and pick up the foods I ordered from my Sam’s mobile apps which I already paid.
At the counter I asked Glori to please help me find my order. She told me she can’t my order and to my embarrassment she commented if I did pay my order or not. I replied yes and she kept on arguing me that they can’t find my order even though I showed her the proof, evidence and the receipt of my order. Glori did never apologize to me and she was rude and argumentative and it look like I went at the cafe and take foods of not paying which was wrong and this associate should be coached and should never be assigned to this area at all. They should remember that we are the member-customers paying their wages.

Tire Center review. I purchased 4 Pirelli tires that were installed incorrectly; the blue mark on the tire was not aligned with the valve on 3 of the tires. Sam's rep told me to come in any time to have them fixed. When I went, I was told they were too busy and to make an appointment. When I went to the scheduled appointment, I was told they were only going to turn the tires. I had to tell them to re-balance the tire after aligning the tire mark with the valve.
My car was raised, tires taken off, and nothing was done for over 2 hours while I watched and waited. Only 1 other car with a flat tire was worked on. They were going to charge me for the re-balance until I stated it was their error for incorrectly installing the tires in the first place. Then came the attitude. Now I have a new key-mark by my door lock, although I had gone nowhere else. Other than checking tightness of the lugs, just one person worked on my car. Never returning to the Lake Charles Sam's Club Tire Center again!

We pay a fee to shop at Sam's, and Sam’s and Walmart made 84 BILLION $$$$ In 2023 off you and me, with their price gouging. Yet Sam’s pays managers a pittance, and cashiers even less. Then on one of the busiest days of the year at Sam’s, they have ten people waiting in line to check-out and ONE CASHIER. I just left my stuff behind & went home. No other Store, where there is no membership fee, would get away with what Sam’s gets away with. Did you know that the head CEO over Walmart, & maybe Sam’s also, is paid $24 million per year? It’s all about corporate greed, & making the rich richer. That’s what drives this company.
I needed to make a small return recently to Walmart. It was 3 unopened cans of Rust oleum paint. I paid about eight dollars a can, but because I didn’t have a receipt, Walmart wanted to give me three dollars a can for my return for a credit. But this was after a “know it all clerk”, with zero authority, Chris, (Bay Pines, Fl), who couldn’t provide the return rules to me (and neither could the manager) told me that there is no store credit at Walmart. Which is a blatant lie.
I called corporate Walmart, and they agreed, it was a blatant lie. At another Walmart nearby I bought a bunch of clothes, took them home to try on and had returns the next day to the same store with my receipt, Again, an unethical, uneducated, untrained clerk told me that Walmart didn’t take returns even with the receipt. So, I packed the stuff up and went to a different Walmart where they took everything back. So beware customers. Walmart & Sam’s are poorly run & district managers allow peons to make up or change the rules as they go and managers couldn’t care less.

Beware when paying for your Sam's club membership at a register after it expires, a year later they auto charge you for it again with no email or warning apparently. At a premium price when I see ads offering memberships for far less. Congrats Sam's club, I will be shopping elsewhere.

I was accosted at the check out door in Woodstock after first purchasing my several items. The young man at the door asked for my receipt which I had just placed in my pocket. My arms were full of groceries but he demanded I produce a receipt. When I asked where should I put these items he stated "I don't know but I need the receipt". There was no table there nor did he offer to get a cart for these items. I had to place my groceries on the floor as you walk out to produce the receipt. I stated, "Well I hope Sam's is happy with this because it's all about Sam's Club right?" He looked at me then stated "yes it is" and dropped the receipt on the floor instead of handing back to me. Sam's has real issues in how they treat the customer. I have cancelled my membership.

I booked a hotel with an agent while driving, who could see a list of hotels and amenities. My family wanted a pool for our accommodation. The agent did not mention the hotel we were going to be booking was out of order. Upon arriving we learned of this and the hotel said they had it very clear on their website (which they did). We did not stay there. Sam’s Club would not issue a refund even though we didn’t stay there and the hotel was willing to refund us. I have made other reservations with Sam’s but this was a horrible experience and a loss over 330$. Very disappointed experience.

I call the 1-888 number on the back of my membership card. I was attempting to refund my membership. I was greeted by someone whose first language was not English. She tried to tell me the ref # but I couldn’t understand her. I asked to speak to someone who spoke English. I waited on hold for close to 10 minutes. I was finally connected to another person who, despite having shared all of my security information with the first person, asked for that information again. I gave it to her and was hung up on.
To eliminate further frustration I went online to Sam’s Club chat service. To enter into the chat you have to enter all of the previous information I shared on the phone with the two other representatives. The chat begins and I type what I need. I then am told someone else would need to help me. That representative joined the chat and proceeded to ask me for the same information I entered before joining the chat. When I said that I had already entered that information I was told that representative could not gain access to that and I could not be helped. Close to an hour of my life wasted because Sam’s Club out sources their customer service call center outside of the US to people who struggle to speak English.

I am writing this review for non businesses / small families. We’ve been SAM'S members for years. Membership was $10 a year and buying in bulk truly reduced costs. Years later for $35, then $40, then $45 but at least you had free shipping and most items there was cost savings. Today, to receive free shipping you must pay for ‘plus’ membership at $100 a year. Not all items are available in the store and have to be shipped. Regular membership is now $50, which only gets you access to the store. All perks only apply to ‘plus’ members. Bulk buying still saves or at least breaks even but the savings margins are much smaller, meaning SAMS is passing along less and less of their negotiated bulk pricing with suppliers.
I have now made multiple bulk buys from other sellers and without leaving my home - and have them delivered to my door for free. Yes, SAMS offers the same IF you also shell out $100 year. With savings now pennies on the dollar - that’s a lot of purchases to justify extra expense. I have found it so much more cost effective to shop elsewhere and now check almost everything before going to SAMS. Here are a couple of recent examples: McCafe Decaf Kcups 96 count, SAMS $39.98 box (must purchase online, not available onsite) plus $8.28 (modified) shipping. Other well known retailer $34.99 per box with free shipping. Compared totals for 3 boxes, $104.97 vs $128.22. This also results in paying less taxes.
Purchased gas at the Panama City FL SAMS recently, only to drive down the road and see it's 11 cents less per gallon at two regular gas stations. Savings also applies to quality; purchased their better ‘hotel’ line of towels. They were shedding terribly even after four washings and had thinned considerably. Two had thread pull lines in them. Returned them and purchased ‘hotel’ line at a department store. Paid $2 more per towel. However, they didn’t shed in wash even once and have gotten even softer after regular use. Low quality has been experienced with several other products bought at SAMS, meaning SAMS is also skimping on quality and selling it for more.
I know this is not on all products, not everyday on gas, etc, but it has been experienced so frequently now and cost savings elsewhere so significant, it can no longer be ignored. This has been our experience and thought it worth sharing should someone else consider paying a company to shop with them - only to find any savings do not justify that membership cost.

Went to my local Sam's Club - location #6540 - JW Clay Blvd, Charlotte NC on 3/28/2024 and purchased items. Was on my way towards the door to exit, but needed to have receipt checked by an associate. I waited in a single filed line waiting to get checked, so another associate comes up to assist with checking receipts. As the person is being checked in front of me, the associate that came up called for the line to split and she would start checking receipts. As I tried to move over to her line to have my receipt checked, she starts to yell at me and tells me not me and refused to check my receipt. I asked the associate why she couldn't check my receipt, her excuse was that I was splitting the line. This was the most ridiculous thing I had heard.
This associate was down right indignant. I asked the other associate checking receipts who the manager on duty was and this indignant associate blurts out, "The manager is right over there" and continues to argue and act totally ignorant while other customers are around. I went to the manager on duty who was running a register at the time to vent my frustrations with the associate and the assistant store manager looked as though she was a deer in headlights. The assistant manager indicated the store manager was on vacation and would be back the following Monday.
When I left the location, I called the complaint line for Sam's to report my experience. Needless to say, I had to call the complaint line back two times before I got a representative that even cared about my experience. I requested in my complaint to have the district manager call me regarding my experience. Of course, I received a phone call back from the assistant manager I initially spoke with when the situation first happened. This assistant manager was well aware of what happened because it was explained to her previously. As you can see it is April 30, 2024 and I still have not received a call back from the store manager, district manager, or received a resolution to my case.
I do understand that Sam's is very inefficient when it comes to customer complaints and caring about how their customers are being treated. I've never had this experience with Costco and I had a membership with both. Even though Costco is further from my home, I will make Costco my main shopping big box store. I will never shop with Sam's again. I spend a considerable amount of money when I shop and if Sam's Club is so unconcerned about what happens with the customers that support their business, I don't need to have any dealings with them at all. I would encourage anyone to make sure you're respected wherever you spend your money. Sam's officially dropped the ball and the associates are so arrogant because they work for an organization and leadership that will allow such behavior to go on.

The check out system Sam's Club makes you use is not fit for purpose. My wife and I went yesterday and spent longer at the checkout trying to get the app to work than we spent actually shopping for the items we had. The staff tried to be helpful but they couldn't get it to work either. Think about that for a moment, the actual employees can't get the system to work so what chance do you or I have? I would rather have a card any day of the week, I don't mind a new system based on technology but it has to actually work, And this one doesn't.

Store on Retail Road in Dallas, Texas has no customer service skillset. Call center in the Philippines is terrible. I was hung up on five times. Why would an American company outsource jobs to a call center that treats the ** consumer badly? Online order for pickup was sent to store not selected by myself. I had to leave this store and go to the wrong store in a very high crime neighborhood in order to get my order which included a bad tasting box of salad. My usual store did nothing and said they couldn’t help. I had to figure it out myself. I had to fix Sam’s mistake.

I had been doing business with Sam's for years, with all kind of issues doing so, to name a few, after having to drive 21/2 hours one way to get to the club in Charleston SC and buying stock for my store not being able to find what we were looking for, products out of date, being told by assistant manager after shopping for two hours that the product that I was looking for they had in the back but I would have to wait another two hours for someone from another shift to come in and stock, after several attempts at talking to the store manager and him never returning a call I started calling the 800 number and they claimed that they left messages for the manager also.
I have asked for the regional manager also to no avail, after several years of what I feel is no consideration and no appreciation as a customer I am fed up so I have decided to not waste my hard earned, and mainly my time, and the manager that I spoke with at the 800 said the issues I was encountering should be taken care of in the store, which was correct but if the assistant managers aren't managing, and the store manager is never available, and never returns calls, and the regional managers, when you ask for them you are not given the information to contact them, and when I asked her she said they can't give out that information in which I don't understand.

It is with great disappointment that I feel compelled to share my experience with Sam’s Club. As a paying member, I had anticipated a certain level of customer service and consideration, but my recent encounters have left me utterly disillusioned. One of the most fundamental expectations when patronizing any establishment, especially one that charges for membership, is the provision of basic necessities. Shockingly, [Store Name] fails to provide even the most essential amenity – water. In an era where hydration is paramount, the absence of a water fountain or accessible drinking water is an astonishing oversight.
It's almost as if the store's management believes that our membership dues aren't worth the provision of such a basic and universally appreciated service. What's more concerning is their blatant disregard for their patrons' well-being. The absence of a water source becomes an even more critical issue when one considers the necessity of taking medications promptly. Are we to believe that the health and comfort of their customers take a backseat to their profit margins? It's hard not to be cynical when faced with such a glaring contradiction between their stated commitment to customer satisfaction and their actual practices. The most alarming aspect of my experience is the apparent strategy of attempting to force customers into purchasing their products.
Not only are they charging for a membership, but they seem to continue to capitalize on the almost gone pandemic to exploit their customers further. It's disheartening to witness a business exploiting a global crisis to bolster their earnings, rather than genuinely supporting their community. This reveals a lack of ethical integrity and a misplaced focus on profit maximization. In a time when genuine concern for customer well-being should be a top priority, Sam’s Club appears to have lost sight of the essence of customer service. The absence of basic amenities and the evident profit-driven mentality only highlight the disconcerting priorities of this establishment.
As consumers, we should not stand for such blatant disregard for our health and comfort. I implore others to consider these factors before choosing to support a business that clearly values its bottom line over its customers. In conclusion, my experience with Sam’s Club has regrettably been marked by disappointment and frustration. The lack of accessible water, the apparent exploitation of the pandemic, and the overall lack of consideration for customer well-being are indicative of an establishment that has lost touch with the principles of genuine customer service.

I stood in line for 30 minutes for new membership. Sam's promotional flyer says "Become a member for just #25 after savings". After taking all my information, they tell me to pay $85 - because it's actually $25 off regular membership of $110. "Read the fine print. That's what fine print is for" said the arrogant ** at Sam's on 28 mile Rd in Kentwood, Grand Rapids. When I tried to get clarification, she says "I'm trying to help you understand" and simply calls the next person in line. Cheats employing Arrogant staffers to run their Swindlers game. This is what Sam's has become. I terminated my membership 5 years ago and thought I'd give them another try for $25. How can such misleading ads legal. How do people like AnnMarie work in Service and call themselves Manager. Zero Stars. This store is on its way to Bankruptcy. Quality of employees they hire or are able to keep is often signs of chronic illness! RIP

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sam's club took the membership fees off of card they had no business taking the membership fees off of. As a result I decided to cancel my membership. Was told in 3 weeks I'd be getting my refund of memberships fees. This was not true I never received the refund. Do not join Sam's Club! 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.

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.'

When I contacted customer service through their Sam’s club help - chat page they found all the documentation that I had purchased the phones and should have received the eGift card but they only offered to extend my membership for 30 days (it doesn’t expire until next year!) instead of honoring the promotion and sending me the eGift cards and then I was conveniently disconnected from the chat session. 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!

Since joining Sam's Club about 6 months ago I have placed about 6 online orders, all of which have been awful experiences. 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.

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.

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.

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.

I went to my van and realized that everything was exactly as before, they didn't even touched the tires, I went back to confront them and they started telling me that the "job was done" and they "could show me the cameras", after I start confronting them they ended up telling me that they couldn't do it because the van is too big to lift it up, but they gave a me receipt of everything been completed. 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.

Sam's Club was great for a long time. I was a member for 25 years. Over the years their customer service has reached rock bottom. The worst! I cancelled my membership and joined Costco and "WOW"... what a difference!

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. I was treated like an idiot for an online order that they cancelled and per Caitlyn and Stephanie from Newport Richie, Florida store since it was an error and was rude. 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! She goes there to work and get paid! I’m going back to Costco and ordering my business supplies elsewhere. Terrible customer service and terrible upper management.

I did an online purchase which went well, but the pick up procedure and wait time was excessive. I was not impressed at all with this, and there were not enough personnel to serve us, and now we have to scan and do our own checkout, after paying a high membership fee. Not happy. I use Amazon frequently and am pleased with this experience.

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

Hello Sam's Club, My account was setup on Auto-pay. I was billed $45.00 on 9/28/2019. I was forced to renew again in the store on 10/09/2019 and charged $45.00 again. Then I spent over an hour to "attempt" to resolve the issue online and by phone. Not a happy customer!!

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.

Sam’s Club provides an inexpensive experience at their food court when you go shopping. They have great deals for bulk buyers and return some of the money paid in for Plus members. They also have great WiFi to use while in store, complimentary to all customers.

I've bought Duracell AGM batteries for my RV for eight years, but not from the Sam's in Mechanicsburg, PA. The staff at this location are rarely around to answer questions and when they are, it's usually not helpful and borderline rude. After I bought two more batteries, totaling almost $400, Sam's Club asked me to write a review. So I wrote it and it praised the product but mildly criticized the Tire & Battery Department. After two days I got a note from Sam's saying that they would not publish the review because it criticized Sam's Club. If they ask about your experiences shouldn't they take the good with the bad?
