balancing and rotating tires
We purchased some tires from Sam's Club on May 3rd, 2021, and we got time to take our Van down to Sam's to have its first tire rotation and balance for the first time. I went on August 20th to get that done. My wife started driving the Van a few days afterwards and she felt a vibration on the front driver's side tire so I took the Van back up to Sam's and I was informed that a nut was missing on the front driver's side tire, and they could not do any rebalancing because the nut was gone. I told them all the nuts were there the last weekend I took the Van up there. It looks like the hub stud bolt on the tire was sheared off. I was informed Sam's tire department has cameras that record all the workers while working on the vehicles. I was told they saw nothing wrong I feel I need to look at the tape myself to have my piece of mind about the situation at hand. I would also like to point out that a quick internet search will tell you that wheel studs will only break off if you have a loose wheel on your car which could be due to over- torquing or under- torquing the lug nuts when the tires were rotated or balanced last (which would have been at your establishment).
Desired outcome: I would like you all to fix the wheel stud that has been sheared or provide monetary compensation to get it fixed elsewhere.
McCafe Coffee
I purchased a box of McCafe Premium Roast regular and decaf K-cups around Aug 13, 2022. I love this coffee, but I keep getting coffee grounds in my coffee. When I use other brands this doesn’t happen. I have used this before and it was fine, so I don’t know what’s going on with these k-cups. Also, my Keurig has been totally cleaned as required and it still does it.
Desired outcome: I would like to know if other people are having the same problem and what their outcome was. I would like to be reimbursed for the boxes of coffee.
Pulling money out of my bank acct. for dues when I was not told they did that.
Last year we bought a years membership to the Sam's Club in Johnson City Tn. When we got the card and got some items and went to check out an associate helped us in checking out for our first time. We have shopped there a lot this past year. A few days ago I noticed that I was overdrawn at the bank and got a $25.00 over draft fee in the process. When i went to check on it. I was told it occured because Sam's Club took out $45.00 which caused my acct. to be overdrawn and I was charged $25.00 fee. I told them I did not authorize that and went to Sam's to talk to them about it.
I asked to speak to a manager and told him what had happened and that I was never asked or told that they did that when I got the card. He said they automatically did that. I told him I was not told about that and did not want that to be done. He then told me that if you opened an acct. with a debit or credit card that they did that but if you paid cash to open the acct. that they did not do that. I told him no one told us anything about that and it was not right to do a person like that.
I instantly closed my acct. at Sam's and got my $45.00 back but they would not refund the $25.00 which my bank charged me and it was due to them pulling the $45.00 out of my bank without my knowledge. I went to the bank and talked to them and told them what had happened and that if they did not refund my money back for the $25.00 I would close my bank acct. there and they did refund my money back.
When we did our very first transaction a girl associate did the transaction for me and I did not push any button to say take out a yearly fee automatically and she had to be the one to push a button to do it. Because the manager said a button had to be pushed. We absolutely did not push a button or know about them pulling out a fee automatically and never ever was told about this practice, which I find very deceiving and wrong to do a customer like this. I feel that we should be compensated for this ordeal and that this should have never happened to a customer in the first place.
This was not right to happen to a customer and then to have it to overdraft their bank acct. and then have to be charged a fee because of something that they knew or were told nothing about. My name is Ronnie Goff and phone number is [protected]. I would like to be contacted about this, because the manager at the Johnson City Store didn't seem to helpful or willing to understand the issue.
Desired outcome: I think they should give me a years membership for doing this without my knowledge or explanation.
Curbside pick-up! Augusta, Maine
I went to pick up my order's at the Augusta Sam's Club! The first problem was when I called, They just placed me on! After 10 minutes we hung up and called again! Asked for curbside pick-up! Gave name and location number! Waited another 15 minutes! Gave name and location again! Waited another 10 minutes no Associate! Called again and stated my name, location and the fact that now other customer's are being helped?! These customer's did not have to wait! Each time I called they told me someone would be right out! This did not happen! I saw an associate bring thing's out, I waved and then yelled to get her attention! She turned away! I know she heard me! I then called Customer Service and asked for the Manager over pick- up! She stated they are short handed and busy?! She did not comment, When I asked how they can take other customer's around me! I was there a good 25 minute's before other customer's that were before me! They even did a Customer return before me! I asked were is the Customer Service at Sam's Club?! Another 10 minutes The manager came out with male Associate! My order's were small! She never told us that she was sorry... Maybe retraining should start at the manager and go from there! I have been a member for almost 30 year's! Most of my order's are online!
Desired outcome: I would like an apology and better trained associate's and starting with the manager!!! I wasted almost 2 hour's!!! A gift card might be nice!!!
My online orders have been continuously getting canceled each time I make one.
I placed on order on August 15, another on August 21, and another on August 25. Each time I received an email confirming the order and that I would receive another email when the order ships. A few days after each order, I checked on line and the SAMS site showed each of my orders were "cancelled". I did not cancel any orders.
I attempted to use their totally useless CHAT line and they had no idea why they were cancelled even though they acknowledged my orders. The first two orders were placed into some sort of investigative department and I was told they would try to get an answer in 72 hours.
I then re-placed an order on August 25 again because I needed those orders. Today when I went into my account, it shows my order from yesterday, August 25, is now cancelled. This is ridiculous. If they cannot provide an order, they should at least notify me. I only found out by checking into my order history.
Desired outcome: 1. I want to know why this occurred three times.2. I want to know what will prevent this from happening again or else I shall not purchase from SAMS again.3. I would like items I ordered and paid for.
New club member. Premium I think. I get free shipping and reduced shipping on deliveries. No problem with shipping. However my first experience w/ delivery was a no show order scheduled 6-8pm. I waited two hours as I requested the order be handed to me becayse I had perishables. I tried online chat who said: only “the club” can help me resolve my situation. That’s when I realized the delivery was considered an order through “the club”. The next morning I tried “the club “a total of three times with the longest hold time being 30 minutes. That’s the 3rd time I’d requested to speak to a manager. Each time I was placed in hold, I disconnected the call because no one picked up. My total whole time was 50 minutes. Customer Service who initially answered, transferred me to curbside, both times telling me they didn’t handle deliveries and that I would need to talk to customer service. Then came the dreaded: hold please. As a final attempt, I went back to the online chat feature. The agent had informed me that operations had canceled my order that I would be receiving a refund and I would need to place my order a new. I never received an order cancellation email and my Sams app still shows my order is pending. The last agent I spoke with offered me eight dollars to cover my next delivery. When I asked if there was anything more they could do, she offered me an additional five dollars totaling $13. The previous night an agent had offered me $20 for the no-show which I had not accepted. All in all my impression of Sam’s Club has been poor to say the least and I no longer want to be a member. I recently moved to the area and Sam’s is closer than Costco so I thought I’d give “the club” a try. I do not recommend Sam’s Club as they cannot fulfill an order nor can they adequately service the order. Highly disappointed.
This is also happening to me. I have successfully received my orders from Sam’s for years. Now, my orders are being canceled. Attempts at chat and calls (including chatting with a supervisor) are being referred to some mysterious “team.” I was promised a response in 72 hours which has not happened. I hate to give up my membership but I live an hour away from my Sams and a senior citizen. Membership is up for renewal next month. Anyone have a so,uti on?

I had a pick up order missing items. I called and was told to come back today, call in, and they would bring it outside
On August 24, 2022. I had an incomplete pickup order. I called the store and was asked old to come back, call inside and they would bring it out. I did and the store left me on hold for fifteen minutes then hung up. I call the tire, bakery, and optical department to see they could transfer me. They never answered. That is unacceptable. I went to the Sam’s club on West Florissant in St. Louis, MO. I used my Sam’s club Master Card. I would like the charges for two eighteen carton of eggs taken off.
Candace cattage
The acting cos at Sams Club 8107 candace cattage has been extremely disrespectful since she started. Whenever I am working I have to have contact with her cause she is the cos on my shift yet when I come to her with a need for her to do her job she doesn't acknowledge that I am even speaking to her which cause distress in the work place causing the line to get backed up so i have to scramble to find another cos or ms to do the task. She has a horrible attitude with me and customers. On many occasions I've had customers come to me with complaints on how she spoke to them or how she treated them badly. I have went to management once before about her speaking to me like I am a child seems like nothing came of it. the other day 8/18/22 candi stood behind me while I was on a register telling me how she wanted me to do the task at hand and I did it despite the way she was talking to me the customer even said that he was sorry I had to deal with being treated that way. In this moment I brought it to her attention that when she is standing with anyone else on a register that she's helping them, so I asked her if she was going to help me, but she just stared at me and then walked away. I was then informed later that she was telling the ms not to help me (I was the only cashier open) therefore causing customers to stand in line that much longer.
Desired outcome: She should be held accountable for the way she has treated me, customers, and fellow coworkers.
Mt. Dew
8/21/2022
On the internet 36 ct. 12 oz can of Mt. Dew is listed as $12.48/case. I selected my store (8266) and selected pick-up. It also showed "out of stock". I went to the store and there were MANY cases on the floor. The price shown was $12.98/case. As you can clearly see in the attached photo, I chose my store and "pick up". I did not order on-line. I asked the check-out clerk if Sam's price matches and was told yes. It did not take in the computer so she called for a manager. She declined to price match. Granted, it's only $.50/case but that's not the point. If there is a price shown (in this case the lower of the two), that price should be honored.
Desired outcome: Fix your pricing or at least say "on-line only" so customers aren't surprised to find a difference. I would also like some Mt. Dew coupons for future visits. Not the treatment I expect for a 30-yr customer
I placed an order for an item not available in the store to be delivered to my office. For some reason, Sam's Club decided to cancel my order (even though it still shows as available for shipping). I called the North Rock location (my local store) and they said they can't do anything and gave me a number for SamsClub.com. I called and when I FINALLY got a person on the line and asked them why they cancelled my order, they hung up on me. So I called back and had to wait for a person again. And they won't tell me why they canceled my order or respond to my request that they refund the money that has been taken off my credit card. I've always said Sam's was a lot better than Costco, but after this, to hell with Sam's. I'll go to Costco.
Unauthorized use of debit card to renew sam's membership
Review of my bank info on 9 Aug 22 showed a Debit Card Payment for a SAMS MEMBERSHIP in the amount of $100.00. In the past, I always received via USPS mail a notice that my membership was due. No one notified me this year via mail or email that my membership was due. Matter of fact, it was my intent not to renew. To auto renew using debit card info on hand w/o permission is theft.
Desired outcome: Refund $100 + $35 for adm fees. Membership is canx. Proof debit/credit cards info has been canx or non-disclosure statement by CEO stating Sam’s will not use/disclose debit/credit card info for any purpose. An apology from Sam’s CEO.

A Sam's club customer, with an account card, can let any relative, friend or an acquaintance, or anyone, use their card to shop at Sam's club. Great News!
One Sam's club membership can let Hundreds, or Thousands of different unauthorized users shop and pay for the merchandise, and Sam's club is OK with this.
Let your friends, relatives, neighbors be a part of your account and save them the yearly club account fee!
I experienced this today at Sam's Club and the management at Sam's Club did not seem concerned about this at all.
Andreas, a manager at the Burleson Sam's Club, said "You could get me fired if I helped you." That statement relates to this info.
But, it would take to long to explain why this comment surfaced and why it is so important to this issue.
And, this is how I found out about this incredible new savings system, and anyone can use anyone's account...Just show them the Sam's Club card, shop and pay for the goods! Does not matter whose account name is on the
Not offering to pick up water pallet
Dear sir,
We have very nasty behavior from Sam's Club in Pearl. My GM at Pearl Sam's Club and to get pallet load of water for my guest at hotels. Black lady with no uniform and name tag shouting and screaming at my GM and refused to sell him palette. You can check out our history we always bring palette at a time.
When my GM try to get hold of GM at location, they said no one there to talk to him.
They suggested on place a pickup order and pick up 48 cases in afternoon.
Why you want to increase labor to you employees and my employees.
On palette it is easy to carry on truck and no labor at your store.
I would like to talk to someone ASAP about this.
This the way you treat your customer really.
I did call the pearl Sam's Club to talk to GM no answer.
Thanks, is advance.

Service
As we all know, we are still in the midst of a pandemic, and now we can add monkey pox to the health crisis.
I have been to Ohio Township Sam’s club and voiced my complaint to a corporate person who happened to be visiting on my one trip, as to why are there no wipes or dispenser at the entrance so consumers can at least wipe the carts down……the carts are NOT being cleaned, and there isn’t anyway for customers to wipe them off because the lady in charge of the store had them removed.
I have complained several times to no avail. Why do your other stores have them? I asked several employees and they said SHE HAD THEM REMOVED , and tons of people are complaining.
Is it because of COST effectiveness that SHE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT MEMBERS?
this has been going on for the last couple months, and I was there yesterday, still no wipe dispenser at the entrance.
Maybe someone needs a lesson in CUSTOMER SERVICE!
It’s no problem for me, because BJ’S is just a little farther out the road, and they CARE ABOUT THIER MEMBERS !
I have no problem joining there instead if Sam’s Club is worried about the dollar instead of members well-being
Desired outcome: A wipes dispenser and wipes at the entrance of the store
Paycheck
Good Day,
My name is Chris Eichor.
I was hired at Sam's Club located at 1851 E. Butler Ave, Flagstaff, AZ. 86001.
I was for accepted for a position in the rotisserie department.
I worked a four-hour orientation on June 22nd, 2022 and worked a full day on June 25th in the rotisserie department for a total of 12 hours. Unfortunately, I have neck problems and the constant heavy lifting was causing me a lot of neck pain. This forced me to resign my position. Sam's Club could not place me in another department.
Since leaving Sam's Club, I have not received a check for the 12 hours I put in. I have called numerous times and spoke to several managers that assured me I would be contacted. I have not received such calls.
I would greatly appreciate Sam's sending me a check for the 12 hours that I did work. It has been over a month trying to rectify this situation.
My address is 10255 Aurora Rd, Flagstaff, Arizona. 86004
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Chris Eichor
Desired outcome: Mail me a check for the hours I worked.Please respond!
50th Birthday cake ordered
The day before I ordered just a plain 3 tier white cake, very plain minimal decor on July 15th, 2022. The day I picked it up July 16th before I left i opened the box inside the sam's club on forest drive columbia, sc.
The cake was sitting on a rack in a box, which should have been inside the cooler. The cake was falling apart!
But the party was about to start so I was forced to leave, however I still paid for the cake.
I had to go to the party and try to reconstruct the cake and use ribbon to cover the falling cake and open spot.
Desired outcome: I'm not sure how to rectify this. I've been a sam's club member for over 20 years....I chose sams over costco, but I may change my mind.
Product handling and FedEx and FedEx delivery driver
My package was delivered (?) on Thu, Jul 28 at 11:52 AM.
The package was not in good shape at all.
The package was dropped directly in view of the street, when
just a bit more effort and common sense would have placed it out of sight
for reasons to prevent theft. I tried to explain this to the driver who refused to respond.
I filed phone complaint and was promised a phone call from customer service which
didn't happen.
Desired outcome: I will not purchase another item, requiring shipping, that involves FedEx, a company that has no respect for it's customer base. Do not ship anything to me, using FedExI desire a response to this
Simply Safe door bell return
The Hattiesburg store refused to return a simply safe door bell. My wife attempted to return just the door bell and they refused the return citing she was required to bring in everything. This should have been a simple swap, instead she was made to wait and will now have to drive over 50 miles to make this happen. I'm a new member to Sams Club (about two months) and I will be letting everyone know about this experience and the poor customer service. Looks like Costco will be getting my business.Just FYI, I have now been sitting on hold for 15 minutes waiting for a manager to answer the phone at the Hattiesburg store.
Desired outcome: Fed Express a new door bell. Request contact [protected]

Potential scam impacting our business & sam's club members
Keila: Hi, my name is Keila with Sam's Club. I'm here to help you.
Emily Snare: Hi Keila
Keila: Hi, Alyssa,
I hope you are doing great so far. How may I help you today?
Emily Snare: We are a Michigan based concrete company that has been getting several phone calls and website submissions trying to reach Sams Club customer support
Emily Snare: they are now reporting us as spam and it is hurting our business
Emily Snare: we have nothing to do with this and I tried calling about it and no one has been able to help
Keila: I am so sorry to read about it, Alyssa let me do my best to help you today! Do you have a membership with us?
Emily Snare: no
Keila: Did you contact your phone server and communicate them the issue?
Emily Snare: i have not yet
Keila: Understood, in this case Alyssa our best recommendation is you can report the issue with them directly and see if they can correct it for you. Our phone number is [protected] and it is the only phone number for our business.
Emily Snare: My name is Emily
Emily Snare: and i will contact the phone provider but how does that help with the website submissions
Emily Snare: This has been going on for far too long. It is costing us time, money and clients. I am thoroughly shocked that this isn't being escalated considering the number of Sam's Club members that genuinely need to reach support and are not able to
Keila: I am so sorry that is the name reflected in the chat Emily. I completely understand you and my sincerely apologies for it, but our best recommendation is you can contact them directly because it could be an issue with their system.
Emily Snare: And I will but I request this issue get sent to someone in Sam's Club's IT department
Keila: I would love to be able to escalate it but we have a main phone number and our website to send publicity and other information related the company. We do not use any other server.
Emily Snare: If there is a scam going on where someone is using our information and collecting Sam's Club membership fees I would hope you would handle that
Desired outcome: Please escalate this issue to your IT department ASAP
