Updated review: Dec. 8, 2022
Had to contact Sam's CEO to get reimbursed for the wheel damage. The issue is now resolved.
Original Review: Aug. 23, 2018
Sam's Club in Easley SC ruined the 4 rims on my Cadillac installing new tires - dents, scratches, scrapes. The store manager took pictures of the damage, agreed with the issue and sent pictures off. 2 weeks later I got a call from someone saying Sam's would not help compensate me for the damage. I called the number on the back of my Sam's preferred card asking for a manager to discuss. No manager available they would call me back. No call as of today. Sam's cannot ruin my rims and not pay for the damage!

I have RECORDED ALL CALLS FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN HEARING HOW INEPT SAM’S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT IS. I’m a on my 10th call to Sam’s Club customer service re: this order. I have been disconnected twice, once by Alexis, and once by Sherry. I have been given MISINFORMATION SEVERAL TIMES and I have the recordings to prove everything I’m saying. It was our first order with Sam’s, we signed up online for a membership and paid. Then we placed an online order for a trampoline and the system took the Billing address as the Ship To address (even though I put the default address as the correct shipping address). I placed The ORIGINAL call to change the address 12 mins after the order was placed, the website clearly says “You have 1 hour to call and change the order before it’s too late.”
But according to the 1st rep (Eddy) and a Supervisor (Kendrick), since we paid $55 more and upgraded to the “better” Plus membership (like the computer said to do so we didn’t have to pay $35 shipping fees), “the system” automatically put the order into “order pending” and NO-ONE could change the order (including the shipping address) until it comes out of that status, so it was on me to call back AGAIN and get it changed before it was shipped to the wrong address. Of course at this point the funds are already on hold and that would take a few days to drop off if we cancelled and reordered. So I am now on my 10th call having to explain this over and over, one rep (Jeannie) not sure of the name b/c she was hard to understand, said, “Don’t worry it will probably ship to the right address since it’s the default address,” even though the system CLEARLY SHOWS THE SHIPPING ADDRESS IS INCORRECT.
Rep #7 Sherry at least gave me a REFERENCE number to use and said to call back after FedEx gets the package “IN THE HANDS” give that # and whoever I get on the phone will call FedEx and get it changed. NOT... I called back and got Jeannie or Jeanine who said she couldn’t do it tonight b/c FEDEX is closed (at 8pm), only after I told her I just got off the phone with them. She said she’d call and put me on hold for 14 mins, meanwhile I called FedEx and had them on the other line, and she never came back.
I finally hung up called Sam’s back and got Sierra who spoke with the FEDEX rep that I had gotten on the line, but said she had to call them directly with their acct number to change the address, it took her 4 Times to get the address correct then she Put me back on hold to CALL, so I get off with the FedEx rep and SIERRA comes back to say they wouldn’t do it. FEDEX WOULDN’T TAKE HER ACCOUNT NUMBER AND THE ADDRESS??? So I ask for another Supervisor and guess what? After being talked to in a completely condescending manner Andresia the supervisor tells me she can’t do it because she doesn’t even have the account number that Sierra just said they had. In all the calls NO OTHER REP EVER MENTIONED HAVING TO DO THIS.
I asked for Corporate and ANDRESIA the supervisor said “this is corporate...” Thank God I have nothing better to do after just moving in a new house, 6 states away than talk to unprofessional, ill trained people that have no interest in doing their jobs! Again I have recorded all calls for anyone interested in hearing what Horrible Customer Service Sounds Like.

I have contacted my local Sam's Club to ask why they quit stocking Nonni's Biscottis. I have been told that Corporate make these decisions. They also told me to contact Corporate direct. I contacted Corporate and was told by them that the local Sam's Club takes care of these matters. This has to be the worse company that I have ever seen for customer service. I need to consider joining Costco in the future.

I placed a order for several products on July 31. After a week when nothing had arrived, I called customer service. The representative told me that the products had been damaged in shipping and were on their way back to Sam's Club. After almost an hour she successfully processed a replacement order which she said would be delivered on Friday 10th or Saturday August 11th. Finally on Monday 13th, 5 of the 6 products arrived. I logged onto Samsclub.com and discovered that the 6th product had had a label created but had never been handed over to FedEx. I called Sam's Club straight away and after a lengthy period of deteriorating conversation, the representative said that she would escalate the issue to a back office team.
I have just spent over an hour on the phone only to be told that I have to wait for the back office team to get around to working out why the product hasn't shipped and then rectify the issue. It is amazing how Samsclub.com didn't have to wait or lose any time in getting payment which they have had for over a week. It is also amazing how quickly they coax you into upgrading your membership to Premium. With Sam's Club, life is a one-way street, their way. Whatever you do, DO NOT do business with this incompetent and mismanaged organization. At this stage, I would have to rate their activities as FRAUD.

I ordered a TV from Sam's online and it was to be delivered today. The truck had the wrong TV so I called customer service and they told me that they had knowingly sent a different TV because the one I ordered was out of stock (listed for $300 less than the item I ordered). I received no calls prior to the delivery. They just sent me the wrong item and I guess hoped because it was a bigger brand name that I would be pleased with it, despite it being a much inferior product. I have never had any experience this poor ordering items online. They offered a refund and nothing else at the end of all of this. This could have been handled the day after the order had they just called me.

I hope this message finds you and your family well. I am reaching out to you because I am in a state of confusion after working with Sam's Club Credit Card division. I have heard great things about you and I have been a member of your company for the past 4 years and have recommended your services to countless small businesses. I am requesting your assistance as this event is not what I have come to expect in terms of quality and outcome from your company's products. I'm hoping we can work together to resolve this as amicable as possible.
Here is the data: I most recently paid 90% of my balance. In response, Sam's Club credit reduced my available credit by 75% negatively impacting my credit score. I understand that there are automated processes in place that can cause these things, I thought that surely this is a mistake, In response, I called and eventually spoke with a Supervisor, all standard procedure. The final response was "I'm sorry and there is nothing I can do."
As a businessman who sits on the boards of various non-profits / for-profits of which include a chamber of commerce and other small business focused organizations, I am concerned. I am concerned that the companies that I have recommended a bad product to my colleagues, friends, and family. My life's work is to put communities and small businesses in the best possible position to succeed based on my past experience and expertise. I am no longer I can champion Sam's Club as a quality product. From your reputation with support of Small businesses, I have great hope that this situation is not standard procedure and that we can work together to resolve this issues.

On 10/7/2017, I purchased 4 new tires at club 18-8160. Now, about 10 months later, I went to a different Sam's club near my home (club 06651), and they said that my vehicle is too rusty to safely lift the vehicle to rotate the tires. Sam's club won't to stand behind their poor decision to install 90,000 mile warranty tires on a car that won't be able to get one tenth of the mileage warranty. If they would have told me that my vehicle was too rusty, I wouldn't have purchased new tires. Sam's won't reimburse me for any of my out-of-pocket expenses. It looks like Sam's just wants to make the sale, and forget about the customer.

I paid $200 for a battery and tire rotation. When I went to pick up car the power steering was disabled because the connection to the battery was broken by a Sam’s employee. Now I have to bring it to a repair shop, miss work and out of more money. The Sam’s manager says they will reimburse me up to $250 of the cost, then I need to go through their insurance department. Well I paid for the battery and could not move my car, So why do I need to wait for the insurance department? The repair bill should be paid in full as I give it to them. I am also out of transportation for who knows how long until it is fixed.

I have a complaint about action of local manager Athens, GA. Over the last two months I sent 4 emails to "Sam's Club Help Center". I received an incident number: ** and there was no follow up. I feel that we are treated badly by Sam's. We are a member for over 10 years with more than $70,000 in sales. Please bring this issue up to CEO; Your Sam's Club Help Center is ineffective and is probably in need of an internal review and management replacement.

The nearest Sam's is thirty minutes from me. It was advertised as the best place to buy in bulk for a family. I saved money at my local place (Kroger) but wasted money on the membership and the lack of sale items. Why would anyone spend $45 a year on a membership to something that has high prices? Used my card once. I wish I could get my money back. Frozen bulk vegetables are twice as high as any other place near me, it's over crowded, most of the clothing is poor quality. I'm chalking it up to a bad decision that I'll never repeat.

Dealing with Samsclub.com has been a nightmare! We ordered a sectional and 4 mattresses which were suppose to be 2 day shipping but because items were not in stock it was going to take up to a month to receive so I cancelled my order. The lady from Sam's Club said, "It wouldn't be a problem," that nothing had left the warehouse (because it wasn't in stock) and I would receive my refund of $1400 within 3 to 5 business days. On the 3rd day instead of getting my refund I start receiving the mattresses and bed frames that I had cancelled. I called Sam's Club to inform them (which they were unaware of) at which point they start holding my money until they receive all of their merchandise back. The merchandise they didn't even know they were sending me. I have called Sam's Club 16 times now to try and resolve this problem (and it has became a big problem.)
We are a working class family, $1400 is a lot of money to us for Sam's Club to be holding hostage till they can figure out their mistake. It has now been a month and I still don't have my $1400. FedEx will drop off boxes and say they only have 1 label and can only pick up one package. I call Sam's, Sam's is suppose to have it worked out with FedEx, couple of days later, same thing. As of last Friday, the last 16 people I had talked to I guess forgot to put my account in the "automatic refund category" so I can get my money back. I am now waiting AGAIN 3 to 5 business days to see my refund. They have received all of their merchandise as of last week. YET I STILL DONT HAVE MY MONEY! They took my funds hostage and made my family suffer because of their own mistake!!! I will never shop Sam's Club again!

Ordered 4 tires during Sam's 4th of July sale online. Not given the opportunity to pay online when ordering, just said I would be contacted when the tires were received at my local store. My tires arrived a couple of days later after the sale had ended. Went to store for installation and was told I had to pay full price because the tires had to be paid for during the sale not just ordered. At no time during the ordering process was this indicated, but on the receipt that I printed after ordering there was a statement in fine print that said it needed to be paid during the promotion. Why would I be able to order tires online and then have to go to the store to pay and then have to go back to the store for installation when the tires arrived? Totally deceptive practice.

Don't bother with free Plus Member shipping. It may seem like a great idea to use your free plus member benefit and have items shipped... it isn't a great idea. Head to the store or use someone with experience like Amazon. I ordered 3 items recently and chose to have them shipped because I didn't need them for a week or so. When the box showed up only one of my items was inside. The box said it weighed 24.85 but when I picked it up from FedEx it weighed 3.70 pounds. They also tried to tell me that three large items fit inside a 13x11x8 box. One item fit inside. Dealing with their chat to get my items or a refund was absolutely horrible and ridiculous. Them telling me that they would refund the items as a "courtesy" and implying that I really did receive them is horrible customer service.
I offered pictures showing only one item fit in the box that included the tracking label visible in the photo but they aren't actually set up to receive anything logical like proof. They just want to make you feel like you are trying to get one over on Sam's Club. I'm including a picture (without tracking because my address is on it) to show that they tried to convince me that I really did receive a the 4 pack of Ziplocs in the box as well as a 24 pack of 5 hour energy drinks and a 225 ounce bottle of Persil laundry detergent. Where would the other two items even have fit in that box?

Store manager did not let me return an iPad Pro because she did not understand her own return policy and she insisted iPads were cellular devices that needed to be returned within 14 days. (This iPad was not a cellular device and could be returned within 90 days.) Despite all my efforts to explain to her, she kept ignoring me and going to the next customer, which was really rude especially considering how polite I was being.
Anyway, went home and talked to Sam's Club corporate. They confirmed that I was right and she was wrong and told me to return it. I said I tried and she's refusing. So they sent me a return label to ship it to them instead, which I did immediately. However, they simply kept the device and never gave me my money back. I called and called, and emailed a million times. All I keep getting back is that they will escalate the issue and someone would get back to me. But the person who gets back to me answers something that has nothing to do with my returned item or refund. They either talk about another item that is unrelated, or they tell me that the other unrelated item has already been refunded.
Finally got someone who understood what I was saying. He told me to go to the store for a refund and to show them the proof (which he attached) that they have received the iPad and to give me the refund. The store said they couldn't refund without the item... which I no longer have because I sent it to Sam's. This has been going on for 3 months. I don't understand how no one is able to simply issue me the freaking refund even though they can see that the item has been returned? It's $1000 we're talking about. If an employee is reading this please contact me on how to get my money back!

I have bought 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab As from Sam's Club and 3 of them have been defective. Twice there were verticle lines on the displays and one drops the internet connection and has to be restarted 5 or 10 times a day. Based on this, I believe that Sam's Club is selling factory seconds.

This has been the worst experience I ever had ordering online! I placed an order to be picked up in one of the clubs in another state, so a family member can pick it up for me. The website does not give you the option to pay for it before pick up. The huge issue if you are outside the state or city, no one in your family can get what they need.
Try to cancel the order, five minutes after I place it, the website does not allow you to do it, I call the club to trying to pay for it before pick up, they couldn't help. I called customer service, they couldn't cancel it, take a payment, or charge it on my account. They suggested to call the club, the club suggested to call customer service, customer service suggested to cancel online and reorder it, they are not even aware that the website does not give you the option to pay for it online when is a pick up... Two hours later you still in the same loop with no answers at all. Unbelievable! It is worthless to order from Sam's.

I ordered a special order tire online for in store pickup. Said 3 to 5 days. I ordered all 4 of my tires this way previously and had no problem. One of my tires has a bubble in it and I am unable to drive it safely. I wanted to keep with the same tire since I am unable to afford all new tires. And they are in good condition otherwise. On day 5 I call to inquire about the location of my tire and cannot get through to the club. Was to pick the tire up at. So I call online order support and was on hold for 12 minutes before talking to a person. He said he was going to call me. The club put me on hold and after a few minutes someone else picked up the line and the customer service rep was gone. After a few minutes talking to the new guy I realized that this was the wrong Sam's Club. So I called online support back had another 12 minute wait. Talked to a lady who basically said she can not help me and I need to call my Sam's Club.
I explained that I did and I cannot contact them. She suggested driving there. Which I can not because my tire is bad. I asked if I can talk to someone that can solve my problem. She said I need to call my club. Hung up and recalled my club and again the tire department was unavailable. Transfer to member assistance and she transferred me to someone in tires. After another 10 minutes he told me he found my tire. It is as in the back. Probably just came in this morning. Long story short I spent Almost 2 hours of my morning trying to find out where my order was. Sam's needs a better system for this. I will never order anything online through Sam's again. One of the tire employees even said it’s best to special order them in the store so you can bypass the online process. What’s that tell you.

All in all my last Sam's Club purchase went well. But their customer service sucked. It seems like me asking them to fix their overcharge was a hassle.

I stopped shopping at Sam's Club due to the check out cashier's sales pitches and offer questions. It was extremely annoying and rude. It's only obvious Sam's Club is desperately try to milk as much money from customers as they possibly can. It's not enough that we are purchasing items, but the cashiers molest customers with offers and sales pitches, too? I strongly resented it and it took every bit of strength for me not to let the cashiers have it. It is so annoying. But I know the checkers are told by employers to harass the customers this way. Gone are the days when customers were treated with appreciation for shopping at stores. Sam's Club employees don't seem like friendly human beings.

My biggest issue with this store is that they don't have a fitting room. Why sell clothing if your customers can't try it on? I found 4 different swimsuits that I wanted to try on and I knew they didn't have a fitting room so I asked if it was possible that I use the family restroom to try them on. She tells me no. I would have to purchase them all and then bring back what does not fit. They are $30 a piece!!! Do I look like I'm made of money? What kind of nonsense is that?!

After walking into a local Sam's Club I was looking to purchase a printer and came across a model that had been marked down. The item was sold out at this location but the store searched the local market and found one in stock at a store about 30 minutes away. I called the store to confirm they had it and they offered to hold it for me since I was on my way over. When I went to check out the price was substantially higher and I alerted them that the item was marked down and told them what had happened at the other store. They promptly told me that it did not matter and that was that store's price.
I promptly handed them my membership card and told them to keep it and walked out. I then called the corporate office to file a complaint and after spending 30 minutes on the phone was told that the first store manager had called the second store to resolve the issue and was told that they would not honor the price. The representative then offered me a gift card for the difference for my inconvenience and told me I would hear something in a few days.
Below is the response: "We hope you are having a wonderful and successful day. My name is Leticia an associate from Sam's Club, it is a pleasure to help you. I apologize can't help you, in this case you need visit our club where they provided you information about Item with less price. We cannot honor the same price with gift card because we don't have history about your purchase. Please contact a manager from this club 4418 W. Wendover Ave. Greensboro, NC 27407. In advance a thousand apologies for all this inconveniences but I'm doing my best in order to assist you the way you deserve."

My wife is the membership owner, SamsClub.com decided to do a unauthorized credit card test run on her card for $1, just so they could send her a card stating: "Great news!

I ordered 15 rolls of Shrink Wrap from Sam's Club for a Feed the Hungry Charity Event. The stated delivery date was well before the event. Four days later, I received a notice from FedEx stating that my 2 items were on their way. I called Sam's Club to find out where the other 13 rolls were. They "investigated" and found out that they (Sam's Club) had incorrectly filled the order. I explained very clearly during my hour phone call that I needed all 15 rolls within the next two days. They said they would fix it and I would hear back from them. I frantically searched all online suppliers but none were able to meet the two day turnaround. I heard nothing back from Sam's Club all day... Then I received a notification from FedEx that the missing 13 items were at their facility being packaged for shipment.
I called Sam's Club and had them verify that they were doing a two day or overnight ship so that the rolls would make the charity event. They saw the notes stating that it was Sam's Club's error and the items were needed within 2 days BUT they could not call FedEx and request a priority ship. The items were going to arrive the day after the charity event. I told them that I can not use the shrink wrap AFTER the event was over. They told me to just return the items for a refund. REALLY??? No concern what so ever with wanting to correct their mistakes and keep a customer satisfied.
I had to beg volunteers to drive 60-75 miles out to various stores to find and purchase the Shrink Wrap that Sam's Club wasn't going to deliver on time. I am so furious over such an unprofessional way to run a business. Yes, I am just one customer out of their very large customer pool but if they treat us all like we are insignificant they will find themselves having a Going Out of Business Sale.

Do not believe the "White Glove" shipping claim. The company that Sam's Club uses (MDX, Ryder) for shipping your furniture uses an automated scheduling system that provides you with a time that is convenient for them. I never was able to receive my furniture because I could not get a time scheduled. Even when I got close to a time I could be there to receive my product they were unwilling to wait 10 minutes for me to get home. Terribly frustrating if you work! I spent time calling all of the phone numbers I could find to get scheduled, which resulted in being transferred to automated phone messages.
When I did get ahold of a person, they were extremely rude and nothing was resolved. After over a month, I still have not gotten any furniture or my money returned to me. So if you want to get totally ripped off and waste your time buy your furniture from Sam's.

On Saturday April 14th, 2018 we were getting ready to attend our grandsons’ baseball game when we noticed we had a flat. I thought I could fix to get to the ballgame. Unfortunately, the hole was too big to plug, so I called our local Sam’s Club to see if I could get an appointment. I was told it was first-come-first-served, so I proceeded to the store.
I was told I had violated the warranty by attempting to fix it. The receipt I had from 11-11-15, the original purchase date, had no warranty information attached that explained these road hazards stipulations. One of the associates procured a laminated or framed copy of a document with these rules stating that I had signed these, without ever capable of producing my signed copy – there was none. The puncture could not be fixed and I asked if it could be prorated. I begged if there was something Sam’s could do, and one of the associates said I could take it back to Gainesville where I had originally purchased the tires after a tire blowout and about 140 miles from my home. I had no choice but to ask to replace the tire.
Notwithstanding the lack clarity in the warranty, the way it was explained to me seemed to imply that in the case of a flat, one must call Sam’s roadside assistance, so they can change the tire and determine if a replacement is needed. So, if a motorist is stuck in the middle of nowhere and a local helps that motorist and fixes the tire to get the motorist back on the road to a safe place, the act of attempting to fix the tire immediately violates the warranty. That is a horrible thought of being stranded and refusing assistance from any other service but Sam’s roadside service to validate the warranty.
I caution all buyers to be aware of the fine print and understand that the warranty requirements can only be satisfied in those rare occasions where one can drive to a Sam’s Club; or where one can drive on a donut (unsafe) until the flat tire can be driven to a Sam’s Club; or worse yet, forced to use services other than say, AAA and risk unsafe conditions with unknown services. Every document is vague and misleading.
I have contacted Sam's and the email response I received says, "We're sorry, but Sam's can't do a thing," and was told to call the tire manufacture. It seems unreal that the 24-hour roadside service, the road hazard protection, the lifetime tire balance, rotation, flat repair and the waste disposal are all manufacturer’s warranty whether it’s Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin, etc. Again, I hope this letter will help other consumers weigh the true value of Sam’s auto and tire warranty. This scenario cost me another $118.09, but more importantly, stained my perception of Sam’s Club.

So I previously reviewed a mattress from here. It was my only purchase from Sam's. I made sure my profile was set up to NOT auto-renew. Guess what? They charged my account 45.00! My option to get my money back is drive 45 min to store, get a gift card that can be used at Walmart or Sam's only or get this... wait 8 to 10 WEEKS to get my cash back!! They had and have no right to my money. I am curious as to how many others have been screwed like this.

Once again, I win an auction item and it isn't received. I fill out the Sam's Club online order issue form and get a confirm w/ a reference number. The usual happens - no one ever does anything about it and no one responds to follow-ups. Don't bother with online chat assistance after 5 p.m. (maybe even before 5), I'm pretty sure those working are overseas (by the language used). No help whatsoever. In the recent past, I've been asked for inappropriate info. for a customer service request (such as date of birth). WTH? I also had a charge on my account that was never made - and I suspect they had a data breach that was never reported. I'm very concerned about what's happening to Sam's Club and think I need to quit ordering online from Sam's. NO WONDER THEY ARE CLOSING A BUNCH OF STORES...terrible. A good business model run straight into the ground.

I am a plus member, pay the additional membership cost. They offer free flat tire repair. I had a tire that would lose air after a week or so. Took to Sam's Club for repair, they informed me the wheel needed cleaned as was losing air along the bead. Upon removing tire from the wheel they notice an old patch inside tire. Now they decide it is unsafe to reinstall the wheel on the rim. Want me to buy a new tire because the tire I own had a tire patch. They put my spare on. I let the store, took my wheel & tire that Sam's removed but wouldn't reinstall to another tire dealer. They installed with no questions. I had to pay the mount & balance. I have taken numerous tires which mostly were purchased at Sam's Club in for tire repair...they never agree to fix as they state when selling you a membership. Only want to sell you a new tire or set if all wheel drive. I would never purchase another tire or membership from Sam's Club.

Aurora CO Sams Club: I am 100% disappointed in the customer service I received this evening. I speak to someone stating my membership had expired, she had told me because of the circumstances I could do a one day pass... Then I could renew my membership, I wish I would have gotten her name because she was very helpful and polite. However, I go to purchase one item and in line told the cashier what the lady I spoke to had said. She greeted me, smiling, just happy. The cashier had said okay she may need an override, has a lady nearby and calls her over... We told her I was just wanting one item and that I was doing a one day pass. She rudely responds "who told you that" and then takes me to stand in line at the service desk, (after I had been standing in line already before) she goes to a lady at the desk and is telling her the situation and is then yelling across to me IN FRONT of all the customers.
"Well it wasn't her!" "I don't know who told you that" etc. She then has me come to the desk as I'm asking her twice "does this mean I can't get this?" (I'm already appalled at her lack of professionalism and VERY embarrassed). Then asking her name, (it's HEATHER) She's still raising her voice as she's asking the cashier Bertha to ring me up... Walks off and then gossips to ANOTHER employee of what's going on. (This whole time other employees are watching this).
Long story short, I was able to purchase what I needed and after being a member for years I'm highly disappointed in the lack of customer service and I would be very surprised if myself, friends or family ever go there again. I wouldn't be surprised if half their employees dislike their job because of her and how many other consumers have been disappointed in how she treated them too. Instead of apologizing and helping me, she made sure I was fully aware they are charging me an additional 10%.

This experience was a disaster. The product is okay. The problem I had was with Sam's Club. The first file cabinet delivered was badly damaged on the back side from the top to the bottom, even though the packaging did not give any indication of this. Once I tried to return the item I had to make at least 10 phone calls to the Sam's Club call center. I was promised that they would email me detailed information about the pickup of the damaged product and the delivery of the new product. But that never happened. The day before expected delivery, FedEx showed up saying that I had called them for a pickup. I had not, but I asked them if Sam's Club had ordered a pickup. They said no, and they had no idea of the item to be picked up or where it was going.
The next day, the new cabinet was delivered, but it took Sam's Club another week before they were able to pick up the damaged cabinet. Even then, despite my asking them to email me detailed information about when the pickup was going to happen, they gave me nothing, not even paperwork to have FedEx sign to verify that they had picked up the item. Interestingly, FedEx came to my office a few days later and picked up the damaged item without having anyone sign any paperwork and without leaving any paperwork saying they had picked up the damaged cabinet. I will never go through this process again with Sam's Club, and I strongly discourage anyone from buying anything online from this company.

They didn't fill second my order because someone called out at 04:00, but they wouldn't cancel it or provide me with proof that I wouldn’t be charged. The associate had me walking around the store at full speed just so she could show me it wasn't filled. She could have just filled the order... just saying. I am 7 months pregnant. Was having a hard time keeping up with her pace. If someone called out at 0400... my order was supposed to be filled by 09:00. I was there at noon which left them plenty of time to fill it. When I asked for a receipt that said it was cancelled, she said there was no proof that she could give me. I didn't buy it so I called corporate. They said they would tell her how to cancel it.
She wouldn't answer the phone when they called. As I'm standing there explaining how they all work in the same store and that they could easily ask someone else with HANDS to fill my order, she touched me. I was already angry so I just stopped and said..."don't touch me... I'm irritated and I don't know you." I took my stuff from my first order and left. I got a call at 13:30. My order was ready to be picked up. I told the lady on the phone what happened. She said "I don't know why she told you that. We were filling the order when you were here." I’m in the military.

On 1/04/2018 @ 18:18:07 I attempted to make a purchase at Walmart for a All In One Computer. The amount was $740.94. This would of been the largest purchase since getting my Sam's Credit Card. Prior to this purchase, I called Walmart.com & Sam's Synchrony to make sure of the proper way to do this. Upon arriving at Walmart I attempted to do this purchase. While at the "pick up center" after the lady working there did her thing to gain this purchase, I was called by Synchrony to verify legitimacy of person attempting to do so. Synchrony verified by Me stating the last three purchases... and I did. A text message was sent to further verify & all was good. The next day the order was cancelled at 11:16 am. I did not know this until getting home & seeing it in email.
Since 1/04/2018, I have been trying to alleviate & correct this to remove it from my Sam's Credit Card. I no longer want the PC, but even after promises that "All would be corrected..." I am stuck with a $740.94 on my Sam's Credit Card. I have been working with Synchrony & their Dispute Team. They have been "no help!" They will not allow me to return all the money to my "Sam's Credit Card!!! Sam's was the people who told me what I had to do as well as Walmart.com. We were on the phone during the transaction, handing the phone back & forth. This is a violation of trust. I only did what I was told. They purposely gave improper advice! I mentioned how Sam's Club & Walmart were brothers & was told otherwise, by management. I'm stuck with a gift card that I will never spend at Walmart. I am retired & limited income.

I've been a member of Sam's Club since the 80's and for the most part have been satisfied. In the last 10 years I've seen the quality of customer service at Sam's dwindle. It wasn't till I joined Costco that where my eyes were opened, especially at the check out isles. Sam's really doesn't seem to care how many people are in line or how slow the lines are moving... But when you go to Costco they have at least 2 employees working each checkout line and it moves fast. The Costco employees are friendly and helpful also. I would have thought that Sam's would have copied Costco's model at the checkout. It got to when I went to Sam's Club and standing in those slow moving lines I would get stressed out. It's not a matter of selection or pricing at Sam's... It's their poor customer service which continues to get worse. I doubt I will be renewing my membership.

I have been a Sam's Club member for over 5 years. I was very excited to get the sale flyer they sent out before Christmas this year. I ordered a 75 inch Samsung TV from Sam's Club Online for their Nov 11, 2017 special sale. My charge card was not charged until Nov 21, 2017 when it finally left the warehouse. That was the only thing positive about this transaction. I was disappointed by the lag time between the order and the actual shipping. We needed the TV for a huge party on Dec 2 and I was trying to find if the item would arrive on time. I thought I had left plenty of time to reasonably get a TV from a good sale. I could not reach anyone to tell me. The customer service phone number was not working and the voice menu system kept hanging up. Really, in the middle of busy Christmas shopping season, the phone lines don't work? I had to physically go to Sam's Club to talk to their customer service.
Apparently the in store customer service cannot help with the online items. The in-store customer service rep told me she had heard there were problem with the phone and she called for me, was put on hold, and we waited 20 minutes! I was looking at the TV I wanted right there in the store, when I was on the phone. The same TV was in the Sam's Club store, more expensive, but they would not let me get one from there for the sale price. How frustrating. When I asked the customer service why the TV took 10 days to ship, I was told the sale generated more business than they were prepared for and the TV was on back order. By Dec 1, 2017 I still had no TV. Between Nov 21 and Dec 1, it had made it from the Dallas warehouse to Denver warehouse. Costco, in store, had the same TV on sale for the same price, but offered the extended warranty for free...so I would save $120 going through Costco.
On Dec 1, 2017, I still had not received the TV. I canceled the order with Sam's Club and was told I would get a credit card refund in 4-7 business days. I drove over to Costco and picked up the TV that day. How wonderful! All set up and ready for the party! By the middle of Dec, no refund. I emailed the Sam's Club customer service and received a reply telling me the case was "resolved," and a refund was issued. I had no refund. I called them and was told my bank must be holding the refund up. I called my bank and they told me there was no refund activity from Sam's showing on their end. Two weeks later, I sent another request via email to customer service who, again, told me I had received a refund. I responded to them requesting they provide a receipt for the refund. Never got a response.
On Dec 21, and still no refund, I filed a dispute with my credit card company. I was not going to pay the charge, nor the interest for something I never received. This last week, Jan 18, 2018, I contacted Sam's Club customer service one more time via phone. I was told the refund had been "submitted" but not "finalized" because they were waiting to get the TV back. What??? I never received the TV. She told me the shipper must still have it. What??? How is that my problem?
After 30 minutes waiting for her to do her research, the customer service rep for Sam's Club told me she found the TV in the Denver Warehouse! It had never left! She could not explain why the mix up or why it had taken 2 months to get my credit card refund. She was polite and did apologized. I told her that I realized it was not her fault and thanked her for actually researching my problem, when no one else did. I did let her know that was my first and last time to order anything from Sam's Club online. I know this month Sam's Club is cutting back a lot of stores due to poor performance. If anyone from Sam's Club management is reading this, I would really encourage you to get advice from an expert at Amazon. On Jan 18, 2018 I did get my $2,200+ refund. One can't help but wonder if Sam's Club was holding the money until their shareholder report came out so they could show better earnings. Just wondering?

I called customer service, they were so rude that they told they dont have anything to do in this. If I want I need to go to Sam's club - this is the exact way representative talked and kept the call.

I have been a member of Sam's club for several years. Have never had an issue with my local club. They are always helpful and courteous. BUT-- SAMSCLUB.COM is a totally different story! We ordered a treadmill and had it shipped to us but then decided to return it within the required time limit for the return... It has now been about 4 months now what I have been trying to return this item. I have spoken with Customer Service so many times it's ridiculous. Been told they are escalating this request, been given numerous new Incident numbers... but nothing.
Each time they act like they have no idea how or why anything is happening or hasn't happened. I have been given so many excuses or lies telling me a Manager will be calling... but nothing! I have been put on hold and the operator never came back. A Supervisor "accidentally hung up" never calling back. Each time I have to tell them the whole story even though supposedly each time the Rep is putting detailed notes in the account. I am to the point that I will be cancelling my membership as soon as this is resolved! Worst Customer Service I have ever experienced!

Ordered a TV on Black Friday as a Christmas present, received confirmation email that the item shipped and would arrive by 12/13. Called Sam's and was told it was in the process of being shipped. Waited and then called the shipping company and they said they never received the freight from Sam's. Called Sam's and the item will be out of stock before all shipments are fulfilled, so basically they oversold, but in the 4 wks they never bothered to notify or update buyers but had no problem charging our credit cards. Just let us go on thinking we would receive our merchandise.

I bought online in November 5th, 2017 an Igloo Chest Freezer (7.1 cu. ft.). They supposed to delivery November 11th, but they did not. So I call samsclub.com on November 16th, and they told me that my Igloo Chest Freezer (7.1 cu. ft.) was not shipped so they ordered a replacement, that was coming in 5 business days. Unfortunately it never came so I called customer service and after 2 hour of waiting they told me that it was late. I am talking about December 4th. I asked them to cancel my order; so they told me that they cannot, that I have to call the shipment company for that. So I went to chat with Josseline online, she just told me that I have no other choice that to wait. I printed all the chat because I could not believe it. They did not want to refund my money.
The time past and in December 6th, I called the shipment company to cancelled everything. They told me they did and that I can called samsclub.com back in to hours to have my money back. I waited one day and so in December 7th, I called. Guess what??? They did not have that information, what a surprise!!! I talked to representative and the give me a ticket number that going to allow my refund. In December 8th a live assistance online give me the information that my refund was in my way.
December 13th, they called me to delivery my Igloo Chest Freezer (7.1 cu. ft.) Omg!!! It was my reaction. I was out of $190.00 and I really do not think and this time that I going to have my money back. So, I accepted the delivery, so I can have at least the Igloo Chest Freezer (7.1 cu. ft.). The delivery was on December 15th and when I opened the box, the freezer was damaged. I went to Sam's club location at 40 minutes for my house this Sunday December 17th with the freezer, just to be told that they cannot refund my money because a refund started more than a week ago. What???
I have no money and I stuck with a bad freezer. After all this nightmare, you just can say that. They do not take back the freezer and no money for me. They want me to call a shipment company to take the freezer back to them and for all the trouble a gift card of $20.00. Are you kidding me? This is a scam company. I will never buy online with them. I will advised all my friends and family do the same. It is not worthy all the bad days, the long calls and the end is I am out of $170.00.

I purchased an electronic piano, Yamaha P45 model, for my daughter on Samsclub.com on 11/25/17, I paid 499.98 plus tax. The piano was delivered 12/8/17. On 12/10/17 Samsclub.com advertised the same exact electronic piano I bought for 349.00 as a Shocking Value. I called Samsclub.com for a price adjustment, I was told even though I just received the piano two days earlier it was over the 8 day price match guarantee. I was told I needed to have UPS pick up the piano, mail it back, then reorder the same piano at the one day sale price to get the sale.
I was on the phone with Samsclub.com for over an hour trying to figure this out. When I got off the phone to reorder the piano it was sold out. I called Samsclub.com back, spent another 90 minutes on the phone just to be hung up on. I called back again and was told, "Too bad, we can’t do anything." I spoke with Sam’s Club representatives in Texas, Colorado and Indiana. Corporate said their order numbers are 15-16 digits long and couldn’t locate my order, Samsclub.com could find my order but not the item number 892073 because it was sold out. How sad at Christmas time Samsclub.com has to treat hard working people like this. How long does it take to make the 150.00. I should have been refunded. Makes me sick to be treated like this.

I went shopping after getting a membership online. $45. I went online and said items were carried in the store and not online for some things but figured the store is a mile away so I'll get a membership and go shopping. I walked in the guy said they don't check memberships anymore only at registers. I said okay cool. Walking around I had placed a few things in the cart that weren't a super deal but needed nonetheless. I needed cauliflower. Nope, canned salmon. Nope, unsweetened coconut flakes. Nope, milk 2xs as much as my local grocery, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. 2xs the price as my local grocery store... now I was getting very irritated. They didn't carry the items I looked at online.
Everything was super expensive. I got items I didn't want to put in the cart and $175 for only some of my list. I had to go to my local grocer to get the rest. While I was there I looked at some of the things I bought... per unit (because Sam's is bulk) I could have gotten everything at my local grocer for the same price I paid for only some of the items at Sam's.

It is now 12/9 and I still have no tv. I have contacted the shipping company MXD multiple times only to be told that the dates have been changed, however the last update on my tracking is 11/22. I've also spoken with representatives from Sam's Club and they advised me that the tv had not left their warehouse in Texas and stated that they were not sure when it would be. When I asked what the next course of action was. I was told to give it until 12/12, a month from the time I ordered. This tv is supposed to be a gift for my husband. After visiting my local Sam's Club store twice, a manager told me to come back on 12/13 and he will see what he can do. As of now I've paid $930. Received no product.

I have been a Sam's Club member since 1992 and have never written a negative review. However, on 11/23 I purchased a Samsung 55" Class 4K Ultra HD Curved Smart TV (UN55MU6490FXZA) for $598. I was promised a delivery window of 11/13 - 12/11. After receiving an email from the shipper, I scheduled a delivery on 12/11. I later received a call from the shipper saying that they could honor the delivery until 12/18. I called Sam's Club to arrange for a store pickup, and after being on the phone with their representatives for 2 hours, the original 12/18 delivery was cancelled because I was told that I could pick up a television from a local store.
Later a manager came on the line and said that the information that I have been provided was incorrect. I was then told that a new order had to be placed and a new shipping date arranged. Prior to this being resolved, I was disconnected. I later went online and discovered that the same television is being advertised for less money ($589.77) available to store pickup or a delivery date of 12/13! Throughout this process, no one could provide me with contact information, name, or department to file an official complaint. What a disaster!

I ordered a Vending machine on October 30th. The estimated delivery date was showing as Nov 5 - Nov 15. Throughout this whole time the order was showing as "PROCESSING". On the 13th I called to see if I could cancel the shipment and was told that I couldn't because the item had been ordered more than 1 hour ago. On the 16th I called back to get a status on the order and ask why it hadn't been shipped yet. No one could give me an answer. I was told that I needed to give it another 2 days and then call back to see if the order status had changed.
Later that day I checked the Sam's Club website and the status showed as "SHIPPED". I called the link to track the shipment and nothing. I called the company and they said they did not have the item yet, they were waiting on payment from Sam's Club. I asked if they had an estimated date of delivery. Nothing. I asked the maker of the Credit Card port for the vending machine and they could not give me any information as to when I would get it either. I received an email from Manna on Nov 20th saying my shipment was nearby - called and was given an Estimated delivery date of December 6th - - 16 days later!!!
I received another email on Dec 1st saying my shipment was nearby - called and they couldn't locate my shipment. Received yet another email on Dec 4th, called and same thing. Last attempt was today, Dec 6th and was told that it was in San Antonio, they don't deliver to San Marcos, and that they had to deliver it to the Austin location that delivers to San Marcos. So the machine will actually go right past where it's supposed to be delivered, drive 35 miles north then back another 20 miles to get to me. When? Good question. Last: the Sam's Club policy on returning Vending machines is 30 days past the Purchase Date. I didn't even have it then so I couldn't refuse delivery! What a piece of work this Sam's Club system has been. I will NEVER go through them again!

Placed an order for a 65" Vizio SmartCast 4K tv at 12:01am on Thanksgiving day (11/23/2017) that was listed in the Black Friday ad. The sale began at 12:01am and I completed the order and received a confirmation email at 12:03:46. I checked my bank account and saw that Sam's Club charged me. When the order was placed, the order status in my account stated the item would arrive between 11/30/2017 - 12/4/2017. On 12/1/2017, I noticed that the charge was no longer showing in my bank account. This prompted me to look at the order in my Sam's Club account. The order still showed a status of "Processing" but still stated it expected to have the above arrival times. I called Sam's Club online and spoke with a representative who told me that those dates "really mean that's when it arrives at the shipper" and she understands this is confusing.
I told her it wasn't nearly as confusing as it was misleading. I asked why, after over a week, the TV had not gotten to the shipper, she stated she didn't have an answer for me besides that they were overwhelmed with Black Friday orders. After looking at the order a few more moments, she stated she found where it had arrived to the shipper and that I should expect a call within the next couple of days to set up delivery. I asked her to give me the name and number of the shipping company so I could call directly to set up delivery--to which she replied "I can't tell you that because it could be one of three companies". When I asked why she didn't know which one if she saw the TV had arrived, she stated that her system "had not been updated yet".
Twenty minutes after ending the call, I received an email stating the item had shipped which included a tracking number and that the shipper would update the status once the product arrived at their facility. On Monday, 12/4/2017, the shipper had no further updates and the tracking information still only said to check back for an update once the item was received. I called the shipper directly who stated that Sam's Club had sent them an electronic message to begin the shipping but had not yet released the item to them despite daily trips to the Sam's Club warehouse. The rep connected me to Sam's Club and after going through their automated system again and holding for approximately 20 minutes, a representative answered the phone and I was not able to understand most of what she was saying because she was breathing heavily into the microphone of her headset (or the mouthpiece of the phone.)
Despite my asking her several times to repeat and explaining that I could not understand her because of the breathing into the phone, the rep continued to do so. This representative was very rude and abrasive throughout the entire call. In the end, the representative put me on hold multiple times to a) verify the shipper did not have the item, b) "look at the order", and c) "try to find you a manager". When I asked to speak to a manager, she ignored me more than once until I finally demanded it. That's when she placed me on hold very briefly only to return and tell me that there wasn't one available. When I asked her to confirm to me that they are in a call center and she was telling me there was no manager or supervisor on duty, she told me that's not what she said. She stated "I said no one is available". I told her I would hold--to which she responded "You'll be on hold several hours if not longer".
I ended the call by saying I would speak to the manager at the local store. Fifteen minutes after ending the above call, I called Sam's Club online back. This time I spoke with a rep named Michael (neither one of the two previous would give me their names). Michael looked up my order and honored my request to speak with a manager. I spoke with Terrika, the floor supervisor. She gave me a spiel that they were overwhelmed from Black Friday sales and that the warehouse was back up. She stated the warehouse had sent out an internal communication that "orders placed by 5 pm on Black Friday would be delivered by 12/15/2017." I explained that that was unacceptable given that my order was confirmed by email within 2 minutes of the sale starting.
I asked for the number to the manager at the warehouse to which she replied "oh, it's after 5 pm so they're closed". My response was to exclaim that therein lay the problem. She took my name, order #, and contact number and told me she would have a manager higher than her call me first thing the next day (Tues. 12/5/17). It should be noted that the funds were removed from my bank account for this purchase on 12/4/2017. I followed that call up with a call to my local store where I spoke with the manager. He explained that although they are both "Sam's Club" he had no access or control to the systems for Sam's Club Online. But, he said, he understood my frustration and would try to assist me in any way he could.
I explained that I understood they were different divisions but also understood that he has much more access than I do. I asked him if they have the TV I ordered in the store (I checked and the online system says they do) but he stated they were cleaned out on Black Friday. I then asked him to escalate my issue up to whomever he can reach at their corporate office to get this resolved. He assured me he would work on it the next day and either have someone call me or would call me himself.
On Tuesday, 12/5/2017 I received a call from the local store manager at approximately 5pm. He told me that he had finally managed to get an email address to an "escalation department" and had sent them an email with my details and the details about the issue I was having. He expressed the hope that since the email had been sent at least an hour before that department closed, he expected that I would receive a call within the hour. That didn't happen. This afternoon (Wednesday, 12/6/2017) I received a call from William, a "Corporate Agent" with Sam's Club. William proceeded to "regretfully inform" me that the TV was out of stock and that they would have to cancel my order.
I was very firm when I told him that he absolutely better not cancel my order. He wanted to refund my purchase price and accept a $110 Sam's gift card. I declined as that would not get me an equal product. I explained that I wanted the issue resolved and the only acceptable resolutions were either THAT TV be delivered as ordered or Sam's Club would replace it with one of equal or better specs at no additional charge. He stated he was there to help me resolve the issue and suggested that I look on their website for alternative TVs in the price range. I explained to him that would be TVs in the price range of the normal pricing for that TV. And under NO circumstances would I accept a substituted TV that did not equal or exceed the specs on the originally ordered item.
He sent me an email (from an anonymous email address) and asked me to respond with links to the acceptable products I would like him to consider. I indicated to him that this, along with the numerous complaints I found on here (Consumer Affairs) led me to believe that there were some possible breaches of trade laws going on and that I fully intend to pursue all avenues if this is not satisfactorily resolved. I do not hold out hope that any satisfaction will be obtained here and am already exploring options to bring action. I strongly recommend anyone else that has documented their encounters with Sam's Club Online to do the same.

Leading up to Black Friday 2017 all of the marketing for Sam’s Club stated you could buy items from the store’s inventory on Thanksgiving day and pick them up at the store on Black Friday. I thought that was a nice convenient thing. The website allowed me to place my order and even pick a time to pick it up. However, on the morning of Black Friday I received a notification that my order had been canceled. I called the store and they stated, “We do not do click and pull on Black Friday deals. We have them in stock, but you have to be here.” I told them that that’s not what the website said. The website allowed me to grab the deal and hold the item on my credit card. So why would the website allow me to do it if the store was not going to honor the deal?
I then called Sam’s Club corporate. They told me they could not help me, and asked why I didn’t just order it online. I told them it was because their website made so convenient to just go pick it up at any time of my choosing. Why would a company sell something to someone under a false pretense and then take it away? Seems like a marketing ploy now, and I will not be returning to Sam’s Club. Emotions are of involved in a big purchase and Sam’s Club toyed with mine.

It said to call local Sam's Club if they have it. I called like 8 to 10 clubs in 100 miles area. They were sold out. Then again in the evening getting another email about extended sale for one day more. So checked online again to see if they have that item. It was out of stock. Online showed none stores have it.
On Monday November 13th guess what? That item is in stock but at a regular price. Why would they advertise and make big hype if the item is not going to be available and waste everyone's time. So I called customer service to see what they have to say about this scenario. Guess what. It's against Sam's Club policy to honor the price for the the unavailable item they hyped about it.

Sam's tire service told me that they would mount one rear tire on my wife's van and had me pull the car around to the Bay door. Then after I got back in I waited 15 minutes while they helped other customers only to be told that I needed to buy both rear tires because the tread had to match for safety reasons. They never even looked at the other rear tire that was nearly new. They were trying to get me to replace a perfectly good tire in the name of safety just to sell more tires. When I got home I called to complain and they said it was because van is all wheel drive (it's not) and they couldn't mount it because other tire didn't have enough tread. When I said that it's not AWD, they said they were thinking of someone else. I felt like they were uninformed about safety rules and dismissive of my complaint. They didn't offer me any remedy wasting my time. Now I'm left thinking don't expect reasonable people when you go to Sam's Club.

I gave these to my dog twice a day for a year or two. She loves them. She gradually got very sick. Vet did Kidney panel several times. I would bring my dog back month after month trying to rule things out getting tests done, and repeat kidney panels. Finally she mentioned I should check everything I am feeding her to make sure nothing comes from China. She said that the Veterinarian community has seen kidney related problems with Chinese sourced products.
Three months ago, I stopped feeding her these. I changed nothing else. Yesterday she had a follow-up kidney panel done. It came back 100% normal. This isn't proof that this product is dangerous to animals, you'll have to decide yourself. There was even a sign up at Sam’s Club talking about this issue, right above where they sell these."

I've never been so stressed out over a refund. I have been trying to get my refund for a mattress that was an awful mattress for over a month now. First I called to get the refund, and was told I did not have to return the mattress. And was given a confirmation number for the refund. 2 weeks go by and no refund. I call again, and according to the lady I spoke to, there was no refund processed and that I HAD to return the mattress. It didn't make sense that I was given a confirmation number for a refund that wasn't even processed. The lady claimed the first person I spoke to did nothing to take care of the refund. And that I had to return the mattress. That she would schedule a freight company to come pick it up. I asked how I would even know SHE did anything to handle the refund. She claimed she would give me a confirmation number...
I was skeptical and said how on earth do I know that she isn't lying since that is what the other lady told me as well. She got mad and transferred me to a supervisor... who told me the same stupid stuff. Then transferred me back to her the schedule the freight pick up. Said they'd call me to set up a good time. I got an automated Sam's Club message about it. That someone would call me in 24-48 hours. That never happened. I had the message as a voicemail which had a local number I called, and left a message. No one ever called me back. I called Sam's Club again... sat on hold for 30+ minutes, and a lady answered and I explained my issue and she instantly hung up on me. I called again, super pissed off. Sat on hold for 30+ minutes again. And then I just hung up. I have stuff to do during the day. I have a job that I need to do. That I can't do because I am stuck on hold with Sam's.
I sent one website inquiry. No response. Days later, I sent another. Finally got a response to the first inquiry I sent... They claimed to schedule a FedEx call tag... which is FedEx ground. It had to go freight. It is a mattress. I emailed back that it could not go ground. No response. FedEx also showed up at the wrong address, and called the wrong phone number. No one even asked where it was supposed to be picked up at. I had told the lady who supposedly scheduled the freight where to pick it up from. After a month of waiting though, we had moved into our new house. And we had to haul this bed with us since no one would come pick it up. I finally called Sam's again for 5th time. And asked if I could just return it to the store because I was over this nonsense. They said yes. I take it to the store. Guy claims their systems states I've already returned the bed and been issued my refund. Well I hadn't I showed the guy my statement for my card.
NO CREDIT. So yet he gets on the phone with Sam's Club there... and then I have to talk to the lady. The lady tries to tell me she will schedule a freight pick up to get the mattress. The mattress is at the damn store. I am not taking it home. I tell her this. This is ridiculous, I am on the verge of tears because I am so damn angry that no one can do their job here. She talks to her manager or whoever. Tells me the credit will be issued and taken care of. And if not to call again. The guy at the store tells me I can also call that location and speak with him. I spent over an hour and a half at the store just to try to return this damn mattress. Then finally it is taken care of. Right as the store is closing of course. Then 7 days pass, and I STILL have not received my refund. I call Sam's Club again... Lady claims it has been finalized. Should be on there in 3-5 days. Nothing in 3-5 days.
I send another inquiry through the website beyond pissed and tell them I want to speak to a corporate person as this is getting ridiculous. I haven't paid the balance off on my card because I am getting this credit, so if I paid it, I'd have even more credit on it... So because of all this hassle and no refund I have been charged interest, when the credit should have paid the card off and then some, as my balance was smaller than the refund. But nope still not refund. Finally someone calls me today, from an unknown number stating that the refund was processed and that it shows that it was taken care of. So I tell him, "No. I've been checking my account every day and it is not on there". He tells me I have to get a letter from Synchrony bank stating it's not there on their letter head. I am on the phone with Synchrony bank now and they claim they don't do that. They can give me a statement.
My statement closed the day before the refund was supposed to be processed. So the guy says they can get Sam's Club on the phone. And I said good luck. I sit on hold for 30+ minutes each time waiting. Well he makes me wait too, saying it's taking longer than usual. I am at 29 minutes now on the phone. She finally just got on the phone. But is asking me to explain everything all over again, when there should be notes on my account. And she put me on hold now too. She also claimed my credit has been processed. There is NO credit on my account. I am so pissed off right now. I really want to just smash my phone and tell them all to ** off.
No one can do their job over there. I will never ever buy anything again like this. I have never been so damn annoyed. I hung up because she claimed it was Synchrony that has a hold on it. I just spoke with them. There is no credit. I called back and this lady is trying to help me. Yet on hold over and over, but she actually asked for a call back number in case we get disconnected. Let's hope this resolves it, but still NEVER AGAIN SAM'S CLUB. EVER.

I ordered tires online, and I was notified that my tires had arrived at the local store. I went to the store, to get them installed, but had forgotten my phone at home. The person at the tire desk said I needed the order number, I inquired "can’t you bring it up by my name or account #." (I did have my membership card with me.) He said he couldn't. So, Instead of making an additional trip back and forth for the order number, I informed the technician or manager, that they could just keep the tires. He said 'OK'. I will buy my tires where they at least have the technology, to pull up an order. Which is not SAM’s.

My wife and I are 62 years old and have been using Member's Mark Baby Wipes for over a year. After about 4 months of use we developed a severe rash on our personal areas with pain, bleeding and severe itching. The Itching was extreme! We thought we had contracted a fungal infection as I am a Registered Nurse and this was classic symptoms. We used anti-fungal cream for 6 weeks to no avail. We then switched to topical steroids which did not work. We tried everything we could get our hands on and the pain and itching just got worse. I finally told my wife we should stop using the wipes and in three weeks the rash was gone. I tried to report it to Sam's Club and they hung up on me. I wrote a review on the product just like this one and they removed it so I am placing it here to warn mothers who might be using this product as it should not be used on a baby's skin.

I have been a member of Sam's Club since PACE closed over 24 years ago. They were great! Carried what the average person uses at reasonable prices. No, they offer only reduced fat buttermilk - I live in the south. They do not offer Ragu, or whole buttermilk, Sun Maid Raisins, their milk is not as good tasting and most products are changing over to Member's Mark Brand. Their store appearance is more like Costco. We already have a Costco. The Scan & Go app worked for a while and now gives a constant error message stating, "Go to a register." Products are difficult to find because Sam's doesn't carry them anymore.
Since Sam's Club wants to be like Costco, look like Costco, etc. I see no need to keep my Sam's Membership. The employees are very good people and I believe should be taken care of and money spent on them instead of spending more money on copying to look like an already existing store in the area, another warehouse grocer like Costco. It is very sad Sam's Club seems to want to force consumers into using their products alone as they have stopped offering brand name products as well.

Today (9/26/27) I received an email indicating that order # ** has shipped. I placed this order from Sams.com on Aug. 7 and the order remained in processing status for over a month. The order was for my grandson's birthday (which is 08/14/2017). The order never showed-up and remained in a processing status. I called and tried to cancel the order in excess of 12 times. (Check your records). During which time I was left on hold, hung-up on, transferred numerous times, told it was nothing that can be done, told they do not have a corporate headquarters, etc. Because of the processing status and that I was not allowed to cancel the order, my credit card account was left open for over a month for Sam's Club to enter it at their convenience at a later date. This is an illegal and unethical practice of keeping the ordering status frozen in a processing mode.
As I first indicated, today (almost 2 months later), I received an email that the item was shipped. In addition, the same email indicates that the item was delivered on Sept. 15, 2017. How can the item be shipped today (9/26/2017) and at the same time delivered on 9/15/201? This item was never delivered on 9/15/2017. I have already notified my bank to be aware of the fraudulent practice and my bank as well as myself are ready to dispute any transactions of funds taken from my account in regards to this matter. Never ever again will I conduct business at Sam's Club or Sams.com. Their business practices are unprofessional and illegal.

My experience has been it is of lesser quality and it seems that they are no longer stocking name brand products which reduces the choice. There is no need to continue my membership to PAY for the right to shop there and not have access to the products I want to buy. Two recent examples are the 1 gallon of Member's Mark hand soap and Member's Mark chicken tenderloins have been substituted for Tyson chicken tenderloins. I sent Sam's some feedback and got the form letter just indicating if I am unhappy with the product, I can return it. I am not interested in returning, I am interested in telling management to re-evaluate their product choice if they want me to continue to be a member.

I seriously regret having purchased 4 new Pirelli Cinturato P7 Run Flat Tires for my 2015 BMW X3 last week! Even though I am well aware of the difficulty of installing the low-profile, run flat tires, I "assumed" that anyone who had the correct equipment to install them (and not ALL tire shops do), would do so professionally. Sam's runs a lot of cars through their shop, right? Should have plenty of experience, right? Not so much! Although I "saved" almost $100 on the set of 4 (still putting me back over $1K) compared to the very reputable local tire specialist, it is now going to cost me up to $500 (depending upon the provider) to have my rims repaired. Not to mention to also have the generous portion of black rubber/sealant "goo," which they were so kind to leave for me, cleaned off the wheels! I wasn't even asking for NEW wheels, but Sam's insurance provider is my claim and WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME A DIME!
Believe me, I personally hand wash my car and wheels and know every door ding, scratch, bird poop etch, chip and, yes, scuff on the wheels and I'm highly confident that the new scuffs (between 1-4" long, depending upon the wheel) were NOT there when I dropped off the vehicle. So, my advice to you is DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR TO SAM'S FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT - unless you don't care about wheel damage. If you decide to give it a try, AT LEAST TAKE PHOTOS BEFORE THE SERVICE AND MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU DID SO! I certainly wish I had done so! At least I could have defended my claim that their installation techs are the ones who "ruined" my wheels. One other note... Three of the new tires were manufactured in November of 2016 and the 4th was manufactured in April of 2017. Not terribly worried about that, but they aren't all that fresh.

For the last couple of months I have been trying to resolve an issue with my Sam's Club Android pharmacy refill app. While over the years most of my experience with Sam's Club, their products and apps have been quite favorable. I have one annoying problem. I choose to refill my prescriptions using their pharmacy refill app (Android) by scanning the UPC code on my prescription. Unfortunately it never works for any of my prescriptions. I can refill with their app if I manually enter the prescription number but I prefer to scan it as I have before with other pharmacies. Over the past couple of months I've talked, called and emailed trying, if not to get it fixed, at least some confirmation that the problem exists.
My answers have been from "I didn't know that prescription refills could be scanned" (local pharmacy personnel), "Is it possible that you need a photo id for your prescription?", to just no response at all. I believe I have given them a simple, complete explanation (multiple times) of the problem I am experiencing. All I ask for is a response that they have looked at the issue and agree that there is or is not an issue, and if there is that they hope to have it resolved with their next software update. As I tried to politely explain, I have 20 years experience in retail pharmacy programming (retired now) and partially diagnosed the issue I am having. I want no compensation of any kind. I just would like to scan my refills since that option is given to me. My results 'nada'.

Even after spending almost 2 hours on the phone sitting on hold trying to find some answers. They finally found my 3rd box in Nashville (I live in Pittsburgh) and I asked what I could do. The woman I spoke to said they could try to get the box to me by the next day (day of the wedding) but could not guarantee it. The box contained all of our corsages and boutonnieres.
I explained to the woman at customer service that I could not wait until the day of the wedding to know whether or not I needed to make 8 of each. She said she understood and that I would not be charged for that one box. I did tell her the other boxes of flowers were beautiful and I was fine with that. Some of my family, friends and I ran to the store (again the day before the wedding) and bought flowers, clips, pins, floral tape etc and make everything we needed.
The day of the wedding the box did arrive shortly before we left for church. The flowers were all brown. I understand that probably happened due to the extra shipping time but was SO relieved that we made what we needed the day before. I came home from my honeymoon and saw my credit card bill and that I WAS charged for all 3 boxes. The box in question was $120.00. I called Sam's Club and explained what happened. They told me I had to email my complaint. I sent a detailed email explaining everything and the response I got was "We need a picture of the flowers". I said why would I take pictures of dead flowers that I was told I wasn't being charged for anyways? I did have a few things going on that day and the last thing I was thinking of was the flowers.
I received another email back saying that they never offer refunds without a picture, but they'd be happy to reimburse me for the supplies I had to buy to make my own if I have a receipt. Again, I explained to this person that I did not have pictures, nor did I save the receipt when I didn't think I was being charged for the missing box.
I received another email that basically said they do not offer refunds without pictures and I stated (yet again) that I shouldn't be asking for a refund. I should have never been charged in the first place! I received the same email (obviously tank responses from Customer Service) and I informed them that I would be contacting my attorney. What could have been an easily remedied situation was made out like I did something wrong! If the flowers had been delivered when they should have been or if I wasn't charged for the missing box, I would have been completely fine. Even with having to sit for hours on the phone then running around town for supplies to make my own. It was awful how I was treated and I know that I will never step foot in a Sam's Club again.

PURCHASED A TV. Didn't notice it was only HD and wanted to purchase a smart one so I take it back. Here comes electronic rep and checks everything is fine but forgot the instructions so he hand it back to but hits a monitor when handing it back. I didn't look at it that day when I go back with the instructions, of course, they have to check it again. THE REP BROKE IT WHEN HE Handed it back to me and now they won't my money back even after they saw the surveillance. The supervisor was joke. Erick no good. He was a sorry human being. Such a bad experience. I'm going back to Costco where I never had a problem and they valued their members.

Nowhere during the ordering of the furniture was it stated that the delivery would only be to a "garage" and that you could not open the boxes unless you agreed to ownership. We were under the impression that the boxes would be opened for inspection, that the delivery charges would include bringing the furniture inside the house. The drivers said NO, that they were only responsible for dropping off the boxed furniture. That is pure stupidity to expect someone to accept a delivery and not be able to inspect the furniture before the drivers left. We did not sign for the furniture, and the order went back. Sam's just lost business on this deal... either your policy needs to change or the delivery people need to be changed... that is Sam's problem now.

I typically buy my K-cup coffee pods at Sam's Club - There are only 2 brands that I buy - 8 o'clock, and Folgers, both of which are sold for a good price. Since I was running low and there was no stock in my local clubs I decided to place an online order, thinking that this will be a good test to see if online ordering is any better than physically going to the store full of inept employees. I placed the order on May 30, 2017. My order confirmation indicates that I should receive it between June 2 and June 6th.
As of today (June 6th) my order has not been shipped. I contacted Sam's customer service on June 2nd to find out when my order will ship. All the woman on the other end of the phone could do is read to me what I was seeing online. When I asked WHEN my order will ship, she had no idea. So today is the last straw. If, by the time I receive my daily mail from the post office, my order has not shipped, I will not only cancel the order, but I will also close my charge account and cancel my membership.
I stopped shopping at Walmart because of a) Disorganized/messy stores, b) Rude employees, c) Rude customers, and inept management. I've been a Sam's Club customer for 17 years and over the past 5, the employees are turning out to be just as rude/crude as Walmart employees! Additionally, the other customers in the store are about as ignorant as an immigrant on his first day in America. They walk right in front of you & cut you off as you walk down an aisle - And I mean RIGHT in front of you. They never say, "Excuse me"' or apologize - And yes, the employees do the same thing! After this online ordering experience, I will never step foot in a Sam's Club again and I will file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I ordered Patio Furniture online for a special event this weekend, June 3rd. I placed the order on May 16th, which was in stock. The order showed processed and shipped that day with a delivery date of 5-30 to 6-2. I thought, ok, kind of a long time but it's under the wire. A half month later and no merchandise. I was tracking the shipment which went from Virginia to New Jersey to a local delivery company in Ohio for shipment to Pittsburgh. (This is patio furniture, not flat Stanley.) Luckily... I happened noticed on the website to call to schedule a delivery if no phone call was received in 24 hours. No notification, no email... nothing. Just a new message in the tracking website. What a poor process.
Needless to say, I had to call. I was then told that the delivery schedule was full and the soonest I could get my delivery was June 7th or 8th. The furniture was for a surprise party for my wife's birthday... June 3rd! Guess who is not getting a gift and will be host to a party on an empty deck. I guess we could turn it into a dance party and dance on the deck... LAME. I called to try and reason with the delivery company who told me it wasn't their concern and to contact Sam's club. I even offered to drive the 2 hours to pick it up from the warehouse myself... nope! Sorry that's not how the process works. The individual was extremely rude with zero customer service skills.
My next call was to Sam's help line. I was told that once the merchandise leaves their warehouse they have no control over the delivery. Wait... WHAT?? This is YOUR process. This is YOUR vendor. YOU hired them to fulfill deliveries and you take no ownership. Wow!! That's pretty convenient. After repeated calls to the help center, with no feedback or return calls, my last attempt was to get a supervisor. I thought we had an agreement worked out, however 24 hours later, crickets... again.
This is the absolute worst customer service experience I have encountered. I will think long and hard about ordering from SAM's club online. Why should I. I can get better customer service, faster delivery and oh yes, FREE DELIVERY from Wayfair.com. I paid close to 300.00 for shipping, and poor shipping at that. If I could give minus points for satisfaction I would. One star is way too generous. Let me just state once again... worst customer service experience ever. EXTREMELY unhappy with SAM's club online and their poor delivery process and attention to customer retention. Many thanks Sam's Club for ruining a special surprise.

I recently relocated to Orlando from the Caribbean. After hearing so many good things about Sam's Club, I decided to get a membership with them. Unfortunately, the customer service was far from what I expected. Upon check out, the cashier came across a an item that did not had a price on it. Apparently, the item had to be weighed. The price per lbs was $2.68. For whatever reason, the item could not be weighed at check out. She called a supervisor for advice. Unfortunately, the supervisor was in the same position as the cashier.
While I waited in line, the supervisor came to me and said she will sell me the meat for $20. I looked at her as if she was out in space. Clearly, the meat was not worth that amount, which I told her. She then said, okay, how about I sell it to you for $15. I felt insulted once again. I told her Walmart sells the ham for less than that. I gave them back the meat and left. I wanted to get everything at one spot, as a result of their incompetence, I had to waste my time to go into a different supermarket and wait in another line. After this experience, I am thinking really hard if I should shop/recommend Sam's Club to any friends or family.

Received the wrong medication for my wife's heart condition. I would understand if the prescription was handwritten, but this was sent electronically. Wrong medication at incorrect dose. I looked up what it was and it was for lowering blood pressure so I gave it to her as I did not have the script from her Doctor. Later had to call 911 and get her to the hospital, firefighters actually said they were scared because her BP was through the roof and could see her chest pumping. At the hospital they diagnosed the condition, with several procedures, even restarting her heart to try to get to a normal rhythm and BP. Finally found the meds were exactly opposite of what she needed that Sam's Pharmacy had given us. Thankfully she has now made a full recovery but we are stuck with the bill. Good thing she is still in her 20s so she didn't have a stroke with her BP off the chart. Thanks Sam's for almost killing my wife.

Terrible Ordering Process. I ordered this item and upon receiving shipping confirmation, we threw out our original mattress and box springs. When the product was delivered only one piece of it was dropped off at our residence, when contacting Sam's Club about the other two pieces we are advised that we would have the replacement within 5 days. We still have not yet received the replacement for this product and Sam's Club advised us that this was on back order and they could not issue a refund to my credit card because the vendor Zinus, had to release the funds for my purchase on Sam's Club.
It has now been close to two weeks. Still no bed. I have contacted Sam's Club multiple times and when reaching out to Zinus they do not answer the phone and the customer service is to leave a voicemail. Sam's Club advice that they cannot cancel my order and Zinus, the manufacturer of the product stated that they had sent it sent it to FedEx and FedEx advise me they have never received it. Sam's Club will not intervene and the 1800 customer service number is worthless. I have called close to eight times and I get a different story each time I have called. I will be going to Costco and canceling my Sam's Club membership. Also I would never order a Zinus mattress again.

I was told on multiple occasions by phone and in person that a particular prescription would be $60 before my Sam's plus membership discount. I have them fill it and it's $305 for 12 pills which is what my prescription called for. They acted like they didn't know where I got the $60 amount from until I went to the store to complain and a young girl working told me that was an old price not updated. They told me it costs them $300 for 25 pills and they are charging me $305. They mess up and they need to fix it.

I ordered 2 large cans of Folgers coffee online. I never thought of looking at the date on the cans. The coffee had the most horrible taste. I smelled my half & half. I was good. My bun is only 3 months old. So I washed my coffee pot out good. Same thing. Then I noticed Sam's club stickers on the lids. It was a long code, & right under it said expired 10 of 16. I paid over $5 for shipping alone. 4 days later I still don't have the replacement. By the way I am a member. I just checked online today & they charged me again. WATCH YOUR EXPIRE DATE. I can't believe people ignore the dates. Where is the managers? I will not renew my membership next month.

I purchased a wicker patio set in 2013 and was sold on the fact that it was warrantied for 7 years from the date of purchase. We used this beautiful set in our high-rise apartment on a shaded balcony. We moved into our home in 2015 and we kept it on our side patio and rarely used it. I kept it clean by following manufacturer's cleaning guideline and it looked good. Last March 2017, I went to move one of the chairs to another part of the patio and the wicker simply broke with the touch of my fingers. I looked and all the other pieces were starting to break and it looked terrible.
I went to the Sam's location by my home and was told to call customer service since they only keep records for two years. They were not very nice but I simply smiled and left. Trying to get a hold of someone in customer service was the most awful experience in my life. Long story short, I was told that since I did not have a receipt that I could not return it. I showed them all the labels clearly showing a SKU number and Sam's logo but that was not sufficient enough. I then got on a mission to have them print my last four years' purchase history. Once again, they sent me the wrong information when I specifically asked for what I needed.
After over a month and almost 27 hours of phone calls, emails and now this, my issue has not been resolved. They tell me I had a different card and that I need to provide them that number. I thought they had all of that since I upgraded to a better account! Sam's Club prides itself on customer service but I can honestly say they are awful and I have not renewed my membership and will not be doing so in the near future. I don't think they have any intention of exchanging or refunding my money and I am just another angry customer to them. I never got a phone call as I have asked to speak to a supervisor to no avail. My next step is to file a complaint with the BBB and Attorney General.

Upon receipt of this order I found the products to be of extreme poor quality, mushy, rotten, and some dead. Before I had a chance to return them, my husband, unknowing about the quality, planted them as a surprise. I understand that it is my fault that I did not return them or let him know my intentions. I want to register my dissatisfaction with these products and let Sam's know that I will not purchase these from them again, even though I have for the past several years.:(

I bought a pair of sterling silver earrings in Tallahassee Florida at Sam's Club. I love those earrings though unfortunately they both broke at the post. I went into Sam's and was told that they do not repair. I took him to a jeweler and have them repaired and unfortunately the metal that they used to make the post I am allergic to. I called Sam's Tallahassee 5 times for the jewelry department there was no answer. I called for the manager after being on hold for 11 minutes and 28 seconds he (John-new mgr) never came to the phone. I then asked the customer service rep to give me the number to file a complaint, she gave me the one 800.
After being on hold nearly nine minutes, Walmart told me that I had to call Sam's 888 number to file a complaint. I called Sam's, they told me I had to go back to the store where I purchased the earrings. During our brief conversation, the Sam's Club representative at the 888 number if I checked to see if any other Sam's had the earrings, yes, I've driven to Valdosta Georgia, Pensacola Florida, Mobile Alabama, Loganville Georgia, Albany Georgia, and Tallahassee Florida no one has these earrings. (Whenever I travel I stop at Sam's to try and find these earrings).
I really like these earrings and I would like to have them repaired with the correct metal for the post. Though, I am very upset over the runaround I have received from Sam's Tallahassee Florida. I think a customer service stinks. I left at one time and went to Costco, but because I really like Sam's I transferred back to Sam's. This time when I leave Sam's I will not return and I will also share this with other members that also have complaints with Sam's, about the awful customer service. Sam's Club you need to make this right! Look at all the complaints you are receiving... SHAME ON YOU!

I recently discovered over $25,000 worth of fraudulent purchases at Sam's Club from my BUSINESS checking account. The charges were ACH charges, NOT credit card. I called my financial institution immediately as there was another pending change that same day. My next call was to Sam's Club... I've received the run around before but this was insane. I felt like I was the criminal! After numerous phone calls and being put on hold I was told to go online and complete an application of sorts to be able to POSSIBLY obtain information on the person that created the account and their membership information in order to stop further charges. WHAT??? The application asks for notarized documents, a signed police report, sworn affidavit, etc...
With all the reports of fraud I'm seeing online with Wal-Mart AND Sam's Club, they need to have their own fraud hotline. Fortunately, my financial institution will be refunding my account with the fraudulent charges, however, this still does not resolve the issue with this person and their membership connected to my account. Sam's Club... if you read this, I am not a member of your organization and I never will be. I'll take my business elsewhere!

Ordered a bistro patio three piece chair and table set online. Received one big box to be put together which was expected till I found no nuts and bolts (hardware). After cutting box apart to open and checking carefully I called customer service. They wanted me to send entire set back and they would ship another. Well that was near impossible since box was cut up and I'd have to wait another week. Even if they paid all shipping, how would I know next box had hardware? I told them I just needed the parts shipped. Well then I was told it was out of stock and they would need call manufacturer in California. I then was send paperwork I should have had but didn't via email and had to pick which parts I needed. Well now it's weekend so waiting till Tuesday for reply. Told parts finally were shipped, yup from China. Now I will be waiting another week.
They did not have set in local Sam's Club, but did have a bigger set with same chairs, which I'm sure they had other sets in Sam's warehouse. Rather than open another box and pull parts they are making me wait. That's the first and last time I will order anything online from Sam's. Had this set not been exactly what I wanted. I would have hauled it to local store and got my $400 back. Terrible customer sat/service.

I had a medical walker sent to my Aunt in Ohio. I spoke with customer service rep (Claudia) first, but she did not have any decision making authority so I asked for her supervisor, Charmel who basically put the burden of the return of the item on myself and the Assisted Living facility. I am located in a completely different state. They agreed I had done everything right with the order and were not sure why the error occurred on their end. My elderly Aunt needs the walker to travel to see me in less than a week and a half. They would not allow the correct walker to be sent to my home and have me return the wrong order when she arrives. They said it was a system thing and they could not change the delivery process. But I can bet that if a Sam's Club Executive had the same problem they would quickly rectify the issue.
Additionally I was told by Charmel that she had escalated the matter to the next level on March 30, 2017 and she said someone would contact me. However, it's been 7 days and no one has contacted me to date. In my opinion, Sam's Club is purposefully choosing not to deal with this matter and most likely will never contact me as promised by Charmel. I see Sam's Club as a corporate giant who ignores its patrons and who deliberately chooses not to do the right thing. Perhaps a misuse of power.
In my call I repeated that I was in another state and this was a Sam's club error, but they basically put the burden on my plate. The Assisted Living center does not have the manpower to handle this and my Aunt would never receive the correct walker in time for her trip. In addition they needed time to train her on how to use the walker before her travels (she is 85). Why does Sam's Club think I can make it happen from several states away? I just want the correct walker shipped to my home address and I will return the wrong item. Please can someone listen to the recorded message from March 30. I was on the line for over one hour with no resolution. Sam's Club gets an A+ for incompetence.
