Review of Sam's Club customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is Sam's Club registered on BBB?
Sam's Club is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
So i sent my wife alone up there and low and behold the tire was unfixable and she would need a new one that would costs$180 a tire.
SAMS CLUB said the Tire was unfixable and would need to purchase a new one but didnt have the same one as her other but could get her a package deal on 4 BLAH BLAH BLAH
I told her to have them put her spare on and leave.
After that she went to Auto Tire up the road where i have taken my vehicles many times and guess what, 20 min later and $20 spent she drove home with a fixed tire And kept what would have been over $700 in our pocket!
AND GET THIS, later after leaving one of the workers had put a note in her car stating if she didnt have a husband that she should call him and left his number!
More worried about hooking up than actually doing a honest job!
AMAZING HOW PEOPLE CAN GO TO JAIL FOR STEALING BUT SAMS CLUB HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR?
Just my 2cents anyway
My story:
On Aprill 30th 2020 my girlfriend and I ordered a 3 piece couch set off of Samsclub.com which came out to be roughly 1,700 and were happy that we finally found a couch set we really liked. The ordering process was super simple and the transaction went as expected and the money owed was imediaetly taken. We were excited and ready for its arrival. A few days later (not exactly sure the specifc amount of days or the specific date) I checked my bank account and had noticed the 1,700 I spent on the couch was put back into my account. Slighlty worried my girlfriend contacted samsclub customer service to figure out exaclty what the issue was. After speaking with the samsblub representative she told us that once the couch was shipped that we would be charged the amount of the couch. It was a little odd that they took the amount when we processed the order just to give it back a few days later but whatever we were happy and still anticipating the arrival of the couch set. Fast forward a week or so later we checked our account on samsclub and were excited to see that the couch had shippped! I then checked my bank account and sure enough the money had been taken out. Great! 5/12/2020 came and I was looking over my account just to realize samsclub had put the money for the couch back into my account again! A little more worried my girlfirend contacted FedEX (that who it was supposed to have been shipped to) and was told that they did not have the couch but only had the shipping label. Fustrated my girlfriend got ahold of samsclub customer serivce again (was on the phone for over an hour) the rep had NO IDEA where the couch was and put us under the impression that FedEx had pocession of the couch. He contacted FedEx hisself and to our surprise neither Samsclub nor FedEx knew where the couch was. The samsclub rep then gave my girlfriend a reference number and was told she would be contacted back (not sure by who) once they knew what was going on. The end of the day came and we had not heard anything back from any rep from Samsclub nor FedEx. 5/13/2020 came. Fed up I call samsclub myself while my girlfriend sleeps (she works 3rd shift). Im able to get ahold of a rep pretty quickly and while talking to him he tells me the reason why FedEx does not have my couch is because Samsclub is OUT OF STOCK on the couch set I had ordered. I did not know this because the day my girlfriend and I ordered it the website said it was in stock. While on the phone with the rep I went to their website and not only seen for myself that the couch was out of stock which previously wasnt when I ordered but also had jumped up in price! 400 extra dollars! Super annoyed with the whole process I canel the order with the supervisor for samsclub call center and he explained to me to that I can still get the couch that it would come for the manufacturer. I started to ponder on it and almost decided to just wait it out and try and recieve one from the manufaturer. However I asked the supervisor why the website said it was in stock when I orginally placed my order and if there was a chance that I would still recieve my couch today 5/13/2020 (the day is was suppose to arrive) and asked what exactly going on with it all and he was also unsure of what was going on. Fustrated with the whole process and how unsure Samsclub members about a 1,700 order I decided to go ahead and cancel the order. The most fustrating part about this whole ordeal is if a consumer buys a product from you (one that is over 1,000 dollars) I would expect that not only do they have that item in stock but know exactly where the item is and give fast and reliable shipping! I not only cancelled my couch but will be cancelling my samsclub membership that I had purchased in order to buy the couch. I will never purchase from the website nor stores and will NOT reccomend the store to ANYONE. If this review can help anyone looking to make a big purchase from Samsclub.com I encourage you either find a store thats more reliable or dig deep before you order from them.
"At Sams Club, everything we do is to serve our members... we keep our members at the heart of everything we do."
As I write this email to you and as you read my story, I believe you will agree that as a member I have not been served and truly not at the heart of everything Sam's Club does.
Have you ever had that feeling of pure excitement that's generated because you are relieved that you have finally found what it is you are looking for after endless hours of researching a project? I am certain that you have.
Have you ever been assured, been promised, and believed what you have been told to be the truth? I am certain that you have.
My story begins in the morning hours of Friday, May 20th, 2016. I was again online researching for the right product as I have been for several weeks and came across the perfect match on samsclub.com. The product met all of my needs for both of my stores and my home. I took a screen shot from my computer and sent it to my partner in business to be sure he agreed along with the web address at samsclub.com. He agreed. I then placed a quantity order for 3 of the product into my basket and proceeded to check out. It was then that I discovered that I hadn't registered my membership online and headed to my office to retain my card/information. I then completed the registration and continued with my order.
There was a momentary pause and then the screen went to the main product screen. Only now the screen did not show any pricing information and noted to contact store for pricing information. I reattempted my efforts as I could not understand what was happening.
I then called customer service. The agent said she could not understand why this was happening. She said that her records showed some of the product available in a warehouse but didn't know how to obtain it. She also said that the item was available at two other stores (one in South Carolina and the other in Texas) and that I could contact them. She said she wasn't sure if the item was out of stock or what was going on. She assured me that when/if the item was available/in stock/etc. That the pricing would be honored.
When I called the store in Texas, I was on hold for almost 30 minutes before someone answered saying that Sam's Club did not have the item in stock.
Throughout Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday I continued checking samsclub.com and continued to see the same error - and to contact the store for pricing.
On Tuesday, May 24th, I checked the site and was first elated which quickly turned to confusion and disappointment. The item now showed exactly as it had on Friday, only now the item was priced hundreds of dollars more.
I called customer service and explained my situation. The experience was horrible. The agent could not locate the item until I literally read to her the full web address. She then attempted to order the item and said she got errors. I was then told to attempt to order the product, quantity 3 as I had on Friday, with no errors. I did not complete the order because the pricing was incorrect compared to Friday's. She then said she needed to create a ticket for the web issues and away she went. There was no resolution. She provided me the ticket number and said that I would hear from someone in the next few days.
My confidence in speaking with customer service was shattered. I then wrote of my issue directly online through the contact section of samsclub.com and was given a reference number. What happened next was I received 3 emails responding to the 2 reference numbers. One email said the agent was closing the case. Another said that the pricing I spoke of was never offered. I was also asked to provide the same information that I had given prior and should have been part of the record.
I responded to each of the 3 emails I received and asked that my situation be escalated to management for resolution. I heard nothing back for several days so I again called customer service on Monday, May 30th. As soon as my call was answered I asked to speak to a supervisor. The person said they were a supervisor. I explained my situation and he reviewed the reference numbers and the materials I had submitted to support my case. By the end of our conversation, he understood the situation and stated that he was not authorized to resolve the situation, was forwarding all information to the marketing department and that I would absolutely hear from that department to resolve/honor the situation.
As of this moment, I have not heard from anyone.
My feelings as a member of Sams Club have gone from excitement and relief to utter disappointment and disbelief. I have been assured and promises made that have not become reality.
Here are the specifics of my order gone bad:
On Friday, May 20th, I placed an order of quantity 3 for item 624093 Q-see 16 channel 1080p hd security system with 2TB hard drive, 16 1080p bullet cameras and 80' night vision available. The item showed a Tech Savings of $930 that was to expire May 31st for a total price of $369.00 with free shipping. The original price was $1299. Again, the order was being made for quantity 3 sets of this item at this price. As stated, I called customer service and was told that this price would be honored when back in stock. I checked the site on Saturday and Sunday where it noted to check store for pricing.
On Tuesday, May 24th, the exact item number and product showed but the price had been increased by $430 noting then Tech Savings of $500.00. I called customer service again, and the agent had several issues. A ticket was created by the agent *******07265. I also sent for help and another ticket was created *******07647.
On Monday, May 30th I called customer service again - spoke with a man who identified himself as a supervisor who then stated that the marketing department would only have authorization to resolve this issue.
All that I am asking for is what I was promised and assured would be honored - Quantity 3 of the item at the pricing that I had placed my order for.
STILL NO RESPONSE. THREE PLUS PHONE CALLS/HOURS OF EMAILS - AND NOTHING!
I explained the situation to the manager and she nodded her head and then said, 'So what's the problem, you have your items correct"? I told her that her employees have not manners nor do Sam's Club care about the customers. She stood there looking at me with a blank look. So I told her that I was going to write this up online and let everyone know how Sam's club treats their customers. To which she replied, "Super"!
This is the kind of service that you will receive at the Sam's Club in Roseville, California and I recommend that you do not do business with them if you can avoid it. They do not have good employees working there and the they could care less about their customers or how they treat them. They want your money and for you to get the hell out of their store. Sam's club has lost a customer for life!
COSTCO Here I come. Now let's talk online purchases with IN STORE PICK UP. After you buy online and go thru the normal procedures the FUN begins. You now have to down load the app. OK, you figure it's a normal app. (LOL) well they give you choices when signing up that you have to check in order to proceed - it has a button that say's NOT NOW - but if you hit the NOT NOW - you can't proceed. LOL. So I'm already to get my "STUFF" and it say's when you are in front of the store let us know. So I hit the LET US KNOW button and it states, MEET YOU BY THE PICK UP. Another LOL moment. After 15 minutes of waiting, I went and got my order.
The picture below is the line getting out of the store that I took from the SERVICE COUNTER LINE so I could complete my order. IS THAT STUPID OR WHAT...
It was so hectic, I brought my order back to the pick up area and left. 40 minutes has now gone by.
I returned today and after 35 minutes, with two service counter help they still didn't know how to check me out. I was given a paper that stated paid but was not the final receipt. On this paper it stated a receipt will be mailed to my email address.
AND that's what you need to walk out of the store. LOL moment #3. To make a long story short I'm still waiting for the receipt. I finally walked out of SAM's for the last time telling the exit person who was yelling at me, to call the cops and then go to the service area and find out.
I am going to COSTCO as soon as I post this review.
One last item. When I purchase at WALMART online and pay for it I am given a receipt. I go to the store find the pick up area, show them my Dr. Lisc., and the receipt - they give me the item(s) and I walk out. Now, since Sam's Club and Walmart are owned by the same parent company why can't they make the online buying experience the same.
They can't because at Sam's they probably hired a PHD in computer science that doen't know the 1st thing about buying online and made so difficult that you want to scream.
Anyway, COSTCO HERE I COME...
Sam's Club MINUS ---5.
Pet owners, DO NOT GIVE THEM PHARMACY BUSINESS!
My reason for calling was to see how I can take advantage of this benefit that comes with the $100 membership fee. I was hoping that it would of been a quick and easy fix. For example maybe given the option to go to my local Walmart and given the 20 % discount there. Instead I was told to go to Medford, NY. This is thre next closest Sam's club that has optical, I told thre customer service representative that would be a three hour drive one way. He then put me on hold, he came back after 15 minutes that was my only option. I asked to speak to a supervisor, without exaggeration it took over an hour for someone to get back on the phone with me. The phone call started in my home, I was able to dress and load my children into my car, drive 20 minutes to Walmart, do some Christmas shopping, load my children back in thre car and as soon as I got in the car a person came back on the line. I explained everything again to the second person and mentioned that I was in hold for over an hour and just looking to receive the benefits I pay for. After he put me on hold again, he came back to tell me the same thing. Except this time he offered to downgrade my membership since I wasn't happy that I can't receive all my benefits. I kept it for now, but if this is how Sam's club treats their plus members who are just looking to receive the benefits that Sam's Club were sold on I will definitely return my membership the day before it renews since its 100% guaranteed.
I also attached my membership card. I hope to hear from someone who can explain to me why I have to make a six hour drive to get a 20% benefit discount. The two other clubs that were in Connecticut had optical, but they were closed. Can I suggest that If you're going to sell plus membership and sell people on optical and tires service benefits for plus members, that the only club in that state actually has those departments.
I will No Longer Use Sam's Club I will use BJ's I just opened a business but Sam's club No longer wants my money, because Sam's Club DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. And will definitely loose.
I am going to tell as many people as I can YOU DO NOT WANT A SAM'S CREDIT CARD BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. And your customer service is Rude and unempathetic.
Yours Truly Disappointed
Back then, Sam's Club were worried about the "customer experience" and bent over backwards to SERVE the customer (as they PAY to shop there) vs what hit has become today (they are more worried about profit over customer satisfaction -- IN MY OPINION).
The lanes have gone from being fully staffed and taking care of you, to 2-3 lanes open (out of 7 or 8) and horrendous wait times, and then they went to 1/2 staffed check out lines, and 1/2 "self check out" lanes, as well as the "app" to check out (which I prefer - scan, check out and pay on my phone).
The tire and battery center went from "first come, first served" to having to wait almost 4 weeks to get an appt to get new tires... completely understaffed, and the ones that are there, have a horrible attitude and NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. Even though I have bought tires and batteries at Sam's for 25+ years, I am NOW going to Walmart for batteries as Sam's Club went from 3 year FREE REPLACEMENT and then pro-rated to 8 years - -they are now ONLY 3 years FREE REPLACEMENT. So, if you battery craps out at 3 years and 1 month, too bad, so sad for you -- you are screwed. Even Walmart, the sister company that you do NOT pay to shop at, even has 3 years FREE replacement and "pro-rated" to 5 years.
I also joined COSTCO over the past year, and hands down, IF there were more COSTCO's around me, I'd switch in a heartbeat as Sam's has forgotten that THE RETURNING CUSTOMER IS THE BREAD AND BUTTER of the company... When I move, I am moving warehouse stores, too...:-(
I am very disappointed and unhappy with misleading me. I planned my budget accordingly. I expected her to say that she would give it to me with the given price because it's their mistake.
I joined Costco for 3 months but it was inconvenient because it was far. When I spoke the manager, he refunded the full amount of the membership not even a penny was deducted. This is the 100% customer satisfaction.
