Review of Kohl's customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is Kohl's registered on BBB?
Kohl's is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
I was an excellent customer of Kohls for more than a decade and I had an exceptional credit history with my Kohl's charge. Last September our home was damaged in Hurricane Sally, we had to move and change our address and regretfully there was a delay in getting our mail forwarded. I made an $85 charge in November, didn't get a statement in December but I since I knew I had a balance, I went online and made a $50 payment (the minimum would likely have been $10). Busy with renovations, etc, storage units, etc. I didn't notice that did not receive a statement in January. In February I finally received a statement in the mail. I had a $15 balance with interest and late fee for a total of $65.92 which I paid immediately. In March, I applied for a mortgage loan and learned that Kohl's had reported me to the credit bureau and having that negative report would increase my rate of interest on the loan. I reached out explaining the situation to Kohl's and Kohl's declined to remove this negative report. So... I was a great customer, excellent credit, experienced a hurricane and since I didn't receive a statement, yet they reported me to the Credit Bureau... for $15 without ever attempting to call me about a past due account. I have never experienced anything like this so I feel it my responsibility to warn others about Kohl's unethical business practices. Since this is how they treat their good customers, I suggest you find another place to shop.
I've been on a lot of websites that has ways to make extra cash... I've noticed that there's a lot of different ways that you could get a free gift cards PayPal Cash Ect. But one website that I do love is InstaGC. I've made so much money off of them so if I and love and things to do and the website is easier then most. I love it because if I'm on my way to Walmart I can cash out and boom there is my money right there on my phone instantly. I just had to let everybody know because I have been through a lot of different sites/apps. To find the real paying ones. I have read soon many reviews Ect. Just to find the ones that pay the easiest and the fastest. I started doing that about eight months ago right before Christmas time to make a little extra cash for some gift money for family members And my children. Let me tell you I'm addicted now lol. I'll let you know that I really does work you just have to pick and choose which ones are the best ones and ends the instaGC is definitely one of the best. I go on the instaGC as well as swag bucks if you want my referral actually for an extra bonus when you sign up or even if you have any questions or need some pointers my link is

Like I said I would be happy to give anybody tips Ect. So any questions don't hesitate. I just think it's so exciting lol :)
My last attempt to resolve the problem was to speak to someone at headquarters. The manager then suggested that he walk me through the website to find the number. I reminded him that I had already spent too much time on the phone with Kohl's and now you want me to get on a computer and search for a number when you could just provide me with the number? Which he later did, after he walked me through the steps of finding the number.
I called headquarters last week and still have not received a return call from them. I have also reached out to BBB and also left a few reviews and will continue to write more and share my experience with everyone.
I shared this experience with all of my colleagues and one told me she had a similar experience this week with Target. There was a huge difference with how they resolved the issue. They offered to accommodate her by re-shipping the orderthis was their offer and not something she had requested. Now that is customer service!
This whole experience is highly disappointing to me, because I really did enjoy shopping at Kohl's, but because of this incident I will no longer continue to do business with an establishment that refuses to do the right thing for their customers, especially around the holidays.
Since I still wanted the duvet cover, I figured I would go online and triple check that I was putting in the correct shipping address (because at this point I thought maybe I had made the mistake the first time and not put in my new address) and reorder it. After doing just that, I resubmitted the request. Two hours later I went online to check my email, and I was horrified to see that this new order was ALSO going to be shipped to my MA address and not to my TN address. I selected "Manage Order" hoping to remedy the situation either by changing the address or by merely cancelling the order. I wasn't given either of those options.
I promptly called Customer Service. I could go on and on about what occurred, but suffice it to say that the woman told me that it was impossible to do either of those things and that the only time anyone can either change the address or cancel the order is in the 30-minute time period right after placing the order. WHAT?! In this computer age, a quick change for either of those options can't be done just two hours after placing the order?! I got angrier and angrier in talking with her as she kept asking me the same useless questions over and over. I was yelling at her telling her that she had already asked me some of those questions and that I had already answered them and that the answer was the same. I wanted to speak to her supervisor, which also took some time as supposedly her supervisor was on another line. I told her I would wait. She would come back and tell me her supervisor was still busy. I told her I would wait as long as it took. Oh, the package isn't even scheduled to arrive between 7-10 days from now--sure seems like there should be enough time before fulfillment to make one of these simple changes.
Eventually I was able to speak with her supervisor. She assured me that she would make a ticket and that the order would be cancelled and that I would be refunded that amount. I asked her to be sure I understood what she was saying, and she assured me that it would be cancelled and not shipped.
HA! I wake up this morning to find an email from their customer service telling me that she understands that I have not received my package. You think?! I just ordered it two hours prior to the ticket to cancel the order was made. The email goes on to refer to the first package, even though the purchase order number is for the second package. OMG! The service is horrible. Do NOT purchase online from Kohl's unless you want to work with the worst company communication possible!
Order 2 (~$12): Order online pick-up in store - placed for another pajamas that said available and verified by their customer service rep on phone - did not hear anything for about 3 days on when should I pick-up the order. I checked the order status online - it said "order cancelled". Called the customer service - I was told "item is not available" - same thing again, online the item was still stocked.
Order 3: (~$740): Ordered online on November 29,2015 to ship home: order for two self balancing hoverboards and one pajama pant. Received Pajama pant on December 21,2015. When packet was opened, it was curtain valance instead of pajama pants. Called the customer service and he refunded the money after few days.
Received hoverboard on December 9,2015. It was only one hoverboard instead of two - the size was smaller than what was on the order (6.5 inch instead of 10 inch). I called the customer service on December 10,2015 to ask when is the second one coming. The response was "both hoverboards are in the same packet". I told them it is not true because the packet is in front of me and it's one. Also, the packaging slip said shipping weight of ~22 pounds which was consistent to item description on their website and weight of one hoverboard. After about half hour argument, the lady agreed to check on this and get back to me. No response for few days.
I called back on December 14,2015. The customer service responded they have made inquiry from their vendor who supplies/ships the product - it should take about 7-10 days to get response and have the item shipped or money refunded. Note that the item was bought for my children as a Christmas gift which they were really disappointed on not getting.
On December 26,2015: I called again since it was over 10 days. The response was that they are still waiting to hear back from the vendor. Please call back after few days. At this time, I asked them to refund money since I placed an order with Kohls.com not with their vendors. I explained to them that their vendors is their problem not mine. After a long argument, the representative transfers me to another department to process refund - another 45 minutes of discussion and I was assured that the money will be refunded and deposited in my account within 24 hours.
After about 11 days, the money was still not credited my account (Kohl's charge). I called Kohl's credit card company explaining that I am waiting for the credit to my account for item that was never shipped to me so I should be allowed to not pay the monthly bill until my account is adjusted (only the $349.99) but Kohl's credit card company told me in clear words that if I don't pay full amount, I will be responsible for late payment/interest charges per my terms and conditions. It doesn't matter if I am waiting for Kohls.com to refund my money.
So on January 6,2016: I called customer service again and received the same response that they are waiting to hear back from vendor. At this time, I was frustrated so I asked the agent to let me speak with their supervisor. After about half hour wait, the supervisor comes on and asks me to go through all details that I have to supply every time I call them. It takes good 2 - 3 minutes to verify your information. Then the supervisor sings the same story as their original customer service rep. I asked to be escalated to their next level supervisor - another 15 - 20 minutes wait - goes into their voice mail. I left the message to contact me back with phone number and email address. No response.
Later I called again - same exercise - this time I got the representative's name (Bee **) and also asked for Supervisor's name (Joshua **). Left message again. I asked the rep to also leave a note for the supervisor - no response for another few days. On January 15,2016: called again - same story about waiting from the vendor. After a lot of arguments, I was told that this time the credit will appear in my account within 7 - 10 days.
No credit in my account, so I called on January 25,2016: they are still waiting to hear from the vendor. This time I told them that I will file a complaint against Kohls.com - the customer service representative was Jennifer. She transferred me to her supervisor (Andrea). She told me that she is going to open a manual ticket to refund my money back (I already paid the Kohl's credit card by this point). I asked for confirmation of acceptance and processing of manual ticket - she told me that she has to wait for another department to process it. I offered to be on call for as long as it takes that day. She responded asking for my cell phone number with a promise to call me back in an hour or two with confirmation. When I said, I don't trust anymore, she said "Don't worry Mr. **, I will not go home today until I call you - this is my promise to you." I fell for it. Obviously, no call for few more days.
Called back on February 10,2016: Representative: Rasheed (maybe my spelling is not correct). I was asked to call Corporate Refund Center at *******302. Called back on February 11,2016: After providing all the details, I was referred back to another department for another 17 minutes wait on hold. Finally, Justin came on line and went through all my verification. He confirmed that my account will be credited for purchase price - Kohl's Cash. About $100 less than what I had paid about two and a half months ago.
Learned a lesson, never buying from Kohl's again. I will pay more at other store or leave without the item but no more Kohl's. I am writing this because overall, I spend about 15 hours to get my money back after two and a half months later. If my review helps anyone out there, I will consider my time writing this review is worth. Thanks.
Kohls likes to repeat repeat We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. Really? I dont think so!
In my opinion Kohls will destroy your credit and rip you off with an astronomical fee.
In three months after Kohls sending the bill to the wrong address, Kohls forced my credit rating to drop MORE than 120 POINTS and gouged me with a fee of over 330%. THREE HUNDRED THIRTY PERCENT? Can you believe that? In just three months. Kohls says its all legal. Do you really want to do business with a company like that?
Kohls says that Kohl's appreciate the opportunity to assist you. I would like very much for this bully of a company to repair my credit and refund my over payment for using a Kohls credit card and for being a customer.
Kohls has just asked me for a PM and incident number from their brutal treatment of one of their customers. I have no idea what they are asking me for. I would like to point out again that my bill with Kohls is paid in full.
Kohls never gave me the courtesy of offering me any assistance or any PM or I# when kohls sent bills to a wrong address. Kohls it should have been obvious that a contact was needed in your company, but you offered none.
Kohls customers you have been warned!
Dragging my oxygen, I proceeded to the jewelry counter. The girl was new and her manager was off that day. So the best she could do was offer me a diamond tennis bracelet the cost $125.00 and nothing else. She said I would have to come back when her manager was there. That understandable, I totally agree that I would rather deal with the manager.
To make a long story short, I went back several times, also went to other kohls stores. I call kohls corp. They told me they don't do the exchange or refund, that I would HAVE to go to kohls store, and to try more than one. I went back to 2 different stores and got rejected again and again. Drug my oxygen and stood in line,( for what seemed like forever). Called corp. again and yes again... End of story, I'm stuck with it and am out all that money. FROM KOHLS EVERYONE, REMEMBER THEIR POLICY, THEY TAKE THINGS ANYTIME AND EXCHANGE OR MONEY BACK... I finally gave up, couldn't drag the oxygen around anymore, and couldn't deal with corp. any longer as my illness has severely progressed.

SO BE AWARE IF YOU CATCH AN INFECTION FROM KOHLS FROM STEPPING ON THEIR PRODUCTS THEY DO NOT CARE! I WROTE THE PRESIDENT AND HE READ IT AND DIDN'T EVEN RESPOND, my claims representative (Jill) told me he read it but I have yet to hear from him. So I'll be perusing this further. I'm spreading the word to all my family my BLOG family an FB and Instagram friends DO NOT SHOP AT KOHLS IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN GOOD HEALTH AND STRESS FREE. One day of shopping there can cause you months of legal pain so BE AWARE
Not, OMG! I ordered a coffeemaker Keurig (not a cheap item) sent Fed Ex, delivered 10/1 left on porch. Amazing the party I sent to the garage is always open, and usually right there, so when understood it was not received I have spent the last 3 days talking to the Phillipines. Not only was the connection awful it was difficult to understand, finally diconnected the call and then you get a survey in the inbox "How did we do"? Tried agian same issue wanted me to authorize the new charge to resend the gift, and the credits that were applied would be refunded to me? Kohl's could not resend for the same amount, and then I had to wait 10 days for the refund. On the 3rd call I requested the US, he asked me to call the post office to see where the package was? I said FED EX says it was delivered to the porch, he said that is the internal process? Do you think he knew what he was doing? Finally had the order replaced, still not shipped though? And I still will have two charges until the tracking is complete on the first one. I received a 30 credit to make me feel better, now my original charge was 65 the new charge is 75. Somewhere in this process it made sense to the agent, I was done fighting.
So I called the Corp office left 2 messages, finally got a call back at the end of the call I had exactly as much information a policy quotes as I did the day before.
Christmas season is going to be awesome for this company. 128.00 that no one wants a signature confirmation, even on the second order but for some reason Fed ex can't just say here is where it was left and go get it.!
Unless you have the time to waste pick it up and mail it yourself. Or find another source.
** update, had to reorder unit credits were to be applied for the original! Credit issued to CC 45.87 (charge 65.87) and I'm told gift credit in process 49.00. (gifts $ 62.87) even reversing the original order was an issue with math. I spent 30 minutes tring to find out why there was a difference no one could explain. To boot I have to pay an additional 10 for the replacement to be shipped. Bare in mind nothing I did caused this issue..
I tried to place an order for a total of $178 after discounts, and was to also get free shipping and $30 Kohls Cash.
I used my Kohls card, of course and input everything correctly.
When I reviewed my cart and hit "continue" there was an error page that the website server was unavailable. I tried for 25 minutes. Same page kept cropping up.
Then of course it's 1 minute after midnight and my discounts, kohls cash and free shipping are no longer valid. Am I an angry customer? You bet!
Furthermore, when I write to Kohls and complain, all I get is a 'we're sorry for the inconvenience... blah blah blah." Kohl's will not make good on the offer even though the problem was with their website.
Perhaps they had too many customers trying to take advantage of the discounts before the promo ended. If so, they need to fix their site to handle the traffic.
This is grossly unfair, as I could have saved over $200.
Even under normal circumstances, their website stinks. It takes forever to get to an item's page. It's not possible to filter several criteria at once such as shoes, women, size 9, blue, dressy. No. You have to do one filter at a time and wait, and wait and wait.
What's worse? Kohls really does not care.
I returned my defective shoe, was denied an even exchange with the statement, "this shoe is in back-stock and no longer offered..." thus, no even price exchange, only an in-store credit. In fact, I was offered less than 1% of the box-priced $75 - I was offered $6 in-store credit with the statement: "you are given the lowest sale price of the shoes when you return without a receipt and an even exchange is not possible." I asked Kohl's "when did you sell this shoe@ $6 and where?" Kohl's did not extend the courtesy of a reply. Kohl's previously said "our system" fixes the pricing for an in-store credit [$6]; mind boggling, as if some rogue computer or artificial intelligence in the "system" took over any common sense practiced by Kohl's - the policy is set by the person who programmed the "system" - which, cheats the customer of a refund and is contrary to a fair and open disclosure announced in the return policy - "hassle-free"? Only if you're will to get less than one percent 1% of what you paid.
Kohl's has had an opportunity to reply to me but has declined any reply or answers.
Kohl's unwritten "system" policy & practice cheats the customer

The problem for me is that I hate to shop. And Kohls, like most stores, is designed to disorientate you and make it hard for you to find what you want (remember the 70's when everything was where it was supposed to be?). Anyway, once you find what your looking for they don't have your size.
Kohls.com has proved to be a good website for me to shop at. Everything is easy to find, they have a better selection of items than in the store (they have "online exclusives") and they have the items in most sizes. They also have comments and ratings by shoppers on much of the merchandise.
One thing I don't like about the website (to be fair) is:
You can only cancel your order within an hour (or was it a half-hour) of placing an order. They don't tell you this on the website. They make you call and a recording tells you this. They did, however, tell me I could return the item at no charge or drop it off at the store. I drove by the local Kohls and dropped off my return and they only asked if the product was defective.
Their website allows you to enter up to 2 discount codes. You can usually get free shipping and other discount coupons by googling "kohls promo codes."
But... I would never again order furniture through the website! I had two separate experiences (thought the first was a fluke, but it happened again) where items received were damaged beyond belief. Not just nicks or scratches. The table we ordered came with an entire (long) end bashed in from damage in shipping due to very poor packing. A chair came with deep gouges in it from the little bag of screws, etc. opening and rolling around. I realize that both items came directly from the manufacturer, but I feel Kohl's are somewhat responsible for choosing their vendors carefully. Returning the items was a pain - they were too large for me to get back to the store in my car. The first time it took 2 tries to get UPS to come pick it up. They set it up so someone had to be there to sign at first. Thankfully, I live in a neighborhood where I can leave a package out to be picked up. Otherwise I would have had to take time off from work as they only pick up M-F.
Worst part about the whole experience is that when I tried to leave a review on their website, they sent me an e-mail saying it didn't meet their standards. Trust me, there was no inappropriate language!
Last time I had a chance to talk to one of the supervisors (Tin), she promised to resolve an issue and call me back within 24 hours. Also told me she will apply credit of $50 to my account towards my next purchase. 10 days went by, she never called me back. So I called them today again, and spoke with supervisor named Gabriela. She was rude altogether
Told me that they did refund $30, and they will send me $20 Kohls cash within a month. Even though there was another items in this order they could of applied my Kohls cash towards to. They decided to charge me full amount for that item, and use my cash towards the boots I have returned. And when I asked her about the $50 credit that Tin had promised, she said I do not see anything like that under your account, and we don't offer anything like that anyways.
Very not helpful customer service, makes me very disgusted. So, if you don't have Kohls store near by, don't waste your time and money shopping at Kohles.com. There is always a good chance you will have to return something. I am going back to Macy's and Nordstrom.
1. I placed several orders online, which if combined right would have resulted in more Kohl's cash. So combine your purchases to maximize the Kohl's Cash. Received two Kohl's orders at my house from UPS or FEDEX, but the truck wasn't identified as either. You can track your online order and the last one said "delivered". Couldn't find that order and called customer service. While speaking to her, noticed that it said "mailbox" - so I ran outside and down the driveway with my cordless phone and voila! There it is in the mailbox. OK - my silly fault. Customer service was polite but if I have a general question, I prefer to call my local store.
2. This is the only place I could find a decent selection of Black Hills Gold and with two discounts, the price was excellent. The Kohls Cash was a bonus. Downside would be if you need a ring sized, it is not included like it would be at a jeweler. You would have to take it to a jeweler to size it and that adds considerably to the cost. I ordered 3 different styles and ended up keeping an inexpensive silver one with gold embellishments. It fit and I liked it the best. Was able to "model" the rings for my husband (without dragging him "kicking and screaming" to the store), select one and return the others to the store easily. I like being able to "model" or compare purchases and ask the opinion of my husband or daughter in the comfort of my home.
3. Black Friday prices are excellent, depending on what you are purchasing, especially with the Kohl's Cash. Ordered online instead of fighting the crowds. However, I wanted to use the $10 Black Friday coupon and went to the store at 1:00 pm, when I expected the crowds to be gone. Wrong! The checkout line wrapped around to the rear of the store and I estimate it would have taken more than an hour in line. Crabby husband waiting in the car, so I gave my coupon to a random stranger, who appeared to be willing to brave the long checkout line. Second time I have tried Black Friday shopping at Kohl's, but think I finally learned my lesson. Was happy with my online bargains.
4. Kohls Cash: Understand the rules before you calculate the final price. The Kohls Cash will be applied first and if there is a balance, any % discounts will be applied to the balance, not the other way around. Used my Kohls Cash to purchase a sweater and shoes for my Grandson. Kohl's were on sale and free with my Kohls Cash.
5. For my online orders, I log into UPromise and then Kohls. This gives me an extra discount, which is paid as a separate rebate. UPromise gives discounts on a wide variety of companies, and it's pretty easy to work with. I selected to have them send me my earnings automatically, and they are automatically transferred to my checking account when the earnings reach $10.
Among the problems I had most recently is one where two items out of a fairly sizable order (around 20 different items) were not shipped. The enclosed invoices in two of the partial ordersthe 20 items were shipped in 6-8 separate mailings for some reason (suggesting to me that perhaps they ship from their multiple stores around the country, not a central warehouse)showed bills for two items I had not ordered and in fact did not receive.
On the latter, when I called, at least kohls.com confirmed I was only billed the full amount for what I ordered, not for what the enclosed invoices showed, items that were not shipped. Why on earth does Kohls do that in the first place? They really need to clean up their shipping invoices.
Howeverand more importantlyI did not receive two items I DID order. And two items that I WAS charged $50+ for, as my credit card statement clearly showed.
So I called kohls.com and asked them to ship the two missing items. They said they could issue me in-store credit (I live several hours from the nearest store) or if I wanted the missing items shipped, I would have to pay for them again (I already had paid for them!) and pay the $8.95 shipping. That is beyond bizarreI already paid for them but to receive them I have to pay for them twice? That obviously makes no sense and surely is illegal as well, so I asked to talk to a supervisor who told me the same thing.
I tried contacting support online and also got the same ridiculous responses.
Note clearly the items were in-stock or several representatives, including supervisors, would not have said they could ship them to me if Id pay for them again.
In the meantime, I had gotten a mailed thank you card signed, supposedly, by the president and CEO of Kohls, Kevin Mandell. The card says, Customers like you are the reason we work so hard to deliver the great shopping experience, products and value that you deserve.
HUH? What great shopping experience that [I] deserve? Ripping me off on two items, expecting me to pay for them twice?
So I searched online and found the email address for Mr. Mandell and sent him an email. The same day I got a reply from Joni, identified as ACE Sr. Executive Correspondence Advisor, Office of the President. After several rounds of email and phone tag with her, she again asked for my name, email address, and phone #all three of which I had given her earlierand said shed process a refund for me.
She too claimed she cannot have the items shipped to methe items I have been billed for! I replied to her that she certainly can. She can place the order herself, charge it to the CEOs credit card if need be, and send me the missing $50 items. I have not had a response from her on that yet.
Of course any company that understands mail order, whether amazon.com or any of many, many others I frequently order online from, would have instantly sent me the two missing items with an apology. Not Kohls, however.
Well, at this point Joni has refunded a whopping $12+ to my credit card and given me $15+ in ridiculous Kohls Cashwhen I had paid by credit card for more than the $50+ owed to me for the missing items. So $27 out of the $50shorting me still $23 if one includes the Kohls Cash, shorting me $38 if I exclude that (which of course can only be used on their products and only for a very limited time period, and if I cant get to the distant closest store, I have to pay more than half of that amount again for shippinganother $8.95).
That obviously is not acceptable. I have not heard back from her after I told her again to send me the missing items, but I believe shes been out of the office for a couple days. Ill update this review IF anything improves with kohls.com, but with the horrible experience so far even from the Office of the President, I am not holding my breath.
In my experience, kohls.com is a total disaster, including up to the top of the organization. I will be avoiding them and warn others to be prepared if you try doing business with them.
Update:
Besides other very questionable (at best) practices, Kohl's apparently prices items very arbitrarily, trying to see if they can lure in gullible consumers, perhaps. Specifically, I ordered a $12.60 set of earrings, on sale from a regular price (they claimed) of $15.75. And a $27 ring on sale from a regular price of $35. Neither item was shipped to me although my credit card was charged the entire amount. I called customer report, talked to several supervisors there, and even contacted the Office of the President. All said they could not refund the cash I paid (just give me most of the refund in their Kohl's Cash which is worthless to me, several hours from any of their stores and their minimum shipping charge is $8.95). They said I had to reorder the items. I went online and found the "regular priced" $15.75 earrings are now listed as $45 and the "regular priced" $35 ring shows as $100! Almost a four-fold increase from the sale price to the current price, and roughly a three-fold increase from the supposed very recent "regular price" to the "regular price" this week. Something doesn't smell right. Are Kohl's business practices legal? I certainly don't find them ethical.
