Sam's Club Optical Department - Maplewood, Minnesota

I had an eye exam and purchased two pairs of glasses. I purchased one pair for the computer and one for driving, both made me dizzy and blurred my vision.

I went back to the Optical Department and the person told me, "We have to go by the prescription, there's nothing we can do."

I would like a refund for both pairs of glasses.

Sam's Club refund

This is the second complaint as I never received a response from the first and we are turning this over to the fraud unit against Sam's Club and the card company that the charges were made through. Someone took over $194 out of my account twice for something that I did not purchase on line or in the store, and per your people with samsclub.com and the store, there is not order from me or transaction, but it clearly shows on the bank information that it came from samsclub.com. The bank is giving us the run around on giving the refund back telling us to contact you and to give it time when it has been a week, long enough, in fact too long. You all keep telling us to get with the bank. Someone ...somewhere...better get this resolved fast as it is preventing me from paying my rent. It has already been turned over to the fraud department for the bank, Sam's Club will be added to the complaint if this is not resolved asap.

Sam's Club online/APP orders never received

I ordered new mattresses for myself and my 2 sons on July 18, 2020. I regularly checked the app, the same one I use to shop in the brick and mortar Sam's club thinking there was a delay due to Covid. 1 zinus full mattress was delivered which was supposed to have a metal base with it at the end of August. I never received the full metal base, zinus queen mattress and Serta perfect mattress/ box spring combo. I started contacting Sam's club online in September 2020 I spoke to 17 different employees through email and phone calls some claiming to be management from corporate and back office all had the same accent, most didn't seem to understand english by answering me incorrectly or not at all, they could be very rude at times one guy who claimed to be a manager at corporate was so rude and started shouting at me telling me I did receive my order. I got fed up so I contacted my local Sam's clubs several times trying to find a corporate number they gave me the same number that I called for customer service, the managers at my local Sam's clubs also said that their stores and the online Sam's is 2 separate entities even though I used the app I used to shop online that I used for the shop and go app in the store. The app still shows my items are on the way, I received a portion of a refund after I requested a cancellation, but still have not received my other items or my entire refund. each time I contacted customer service I was told the person I spoke to would take care of the problem most I never heard from again and some didn't understand english very well so I got nowhere with them. I did get a refund for all other items but not my serta matress and box spring

Desired outcome: refund for serta mattress and box spring

Sam's Club Tires and warranty

On july 26, 2021 I went to sam's club in regards to the tires I bought in feb.2021. I took my car to get aligned and they said the tires are not good (they have bumps). Sam's club is stating the car needed to get aligned within 30days of purchasing tires, but the receipt and warranty states they recommend alignment and if it's not done it would void warranty. Sam's club said the balanced the tires. I took the paperwork from good year in regards to the tires and they would not honor the warranty. When I called on july 25, the employee that answered said I know about those bumps on the tire. All of a sudden today, it's because it wasn't aligned. Today no one knew who said that, but there aren't that many employees their and you should have a schedule.

Desired outcome: replace the tire(s) with the bumps

Sam's Club Tire service

On July 15 I walked into the Sam's Club by my house. My daughter who is away in college needed to have her tires replaced. So we went to the on 7810 West Colonial, Orlando, fl 32818. We spoke to the sales person and explain that we wanted to order the tires but have them installed in Tampa because my daughter goes to college in Tampa. He explained that I needed to go online to order because he can only order if they are being installed at his store. He tries to assist us ordering online and after several attempts it did not work. He then stated it may not be working at this time, but he can order and we will have to set an appointment to have them installed in his store. So we went ahead and ordered the tires, he stressed that my daughter needs to be on time at 12 pm for her appointment. We said ok. I asked two questions, 1 will she need the actual receipt and 2 do we need to be present. He stated now because it is in the system and she is linked to the account. So here comes the day and my daughter gets there at 11:30, she just drove 1 hour and 45 mins to get these tires installed. First they advised her she needs to pay for the tires because they show no recorded of payment. 2 they see no appointment. I proceed to send m y daughter the email I have from them showing it was paid and the appointment. After they gather the information, they then tell her she has to wait till 2 pm to have them installed. This is completely unacceptable, I called the store to request to speak to a manager and was on hold for over 40 mins. My husband had to call from a different phone and ask the operator to please get the general manager. These tires costed 337.90, we usually go to a small tire center to get our tires done. But because we did the plus membership, we thought we give Sam's Club a try. Needless to say, their customer service sucks, why have an appointment if you are not servicing at that time. My daughter checked in at 11:57 and time out at 3:19 pm.

Desired outcome: They need to discount the service fee or discount the tires

Sam's Club 2 pack caesar salad kits

Hi,

I have purchased the 2 pack containers Caesars salad kits lately and the very last ones had a abundance of pink blemished leaves and core. I barely ate any salad for lunch due to the removal of the blemished pieces.

Thank you in advance.

Sam's Club Bread

Over 2 months, I have spoken to the managers in the store about the baked breads. All of the breads are burned. I have been trying for over 2 months about the dinner rolls.

They are terrible and not fresh. Each manager I speak with they say they will speak to the bakers, but apparently never do. I spoke to one of the ladies in the bakery on Saturday, she showed me three bags of burned rolls and explained to me some would be freshly cooked Monday. Monday I went in there the same three bags of outdated rolls were on the shelf. I decided to buy some croissants they were raw in the middle. Not cooked long enough. Terrible bakers and the managers refuse to ask then to do better with the breads.

Desired outcome: Fresh, not burned dinner rolls.

Sam's Club Mastercard

Sam's Club Mastercard automatically charges your card membership fees every year. This year, they charged my card without my knowledge. Furthermore, they double billed me, making a second unauthorized charge. When I complained about it, they offered store credit. If you cancel your card, it damages your credit score. Once you apply for Sam's Club credit, you are trapped. They also charged me a late fee for paying my bill on it's due date, claiming it "took four days to process" an online payment.

Desired outcome: I would like to cancel my card without damaging my credit score

Sam's Club TNT fireworks mega star, packaging totally deceptive

On July 4, 2021 I purchased a box of TNT Fireworks Mega Star for $99.99. This box was a total misrepresentation of its contents, the pictures and the wording on the box are very deceptive, the box contained nothing illustrated on the box, Four of the fireworks did not ignite, My kids were disappointed that none of there fireworks went up in the air like the other kids, all of the remaining fireworks were mere fancy sparkles, nothing went in the air over 5 feet and just made a lot of sparkles.

Sam's Club Membership for manager

Blackbeard's Restaurants -- Paula Bonillas #101 59170 [protected]
July 3, 2021
Sam's Club website makes it appear you can add people from your company, but after going through the process, adding my manager's name (Brandon Marshel), etc., my credit card was charged $11.18 for what? I don't know. And Brandon wasn't added! (Order #[protected].)
Prior to going online, I had attempted to call Sam's. I called 5 times and never got a live person. In fact, the calls were dropped. Then after the online fiasco, I went to the Chat option on their website and, after explaining the problem, I was told they couldn't help me. I was then given a number to call, which I tried 6 times! The agents actually hang up on their customers! After trying Chat once again, I was given the same nonsense, and was told I could just "come in" to resolve this -- or try calling the number to reach Membership "CARE" Representatives (laughable). ... I decided to take a break. It's a holiday weekend and now I have shot an entire morning simply trying to add a manager to our membership. It shouldn't be this hard.

Desired outcome: To add a manager! And refund the $11.18 for whatever that's about.

Sam's Club Denied service

While scanning my items, I was approached by a Sam's employee, who said that if I was not a prime member, I could not shop early, even though my business card clearly says early shopping 7:00-10:00 am. I said "I've shopped early before with no problems" and she said that it has always been this way. She was wrong! Our business has Sam's First Data credit card services, in which you make a percentage on each of our credit card sales. And, I am denied early shopping! I am so angry! I was essentially kicked out of the store and denied service! So, what is the advantage of having a Sam's business card, if I have to upgrade to prime in order to shop early? Are you kidding me? Are you really that greedy? By the way, the only thing offered to me from this Sam's Club was a toll free number for customer service, in which it sounded like you were talking to some foreign guy (whom I couldn't understand) in a chat scam room. I still have received no response from anyone!

Desired outcome: Simply to shop early with my current Sam's Club business card. I think you make plenty off of our business through your First Data services!

Sam's Club Customer service

On 6/28 at 12:10 P.M. I was checked out by a clerk, I refuse to do self checkout because I am not an employee of you store or any other. I spent a total of $195.71. When going out the door the girl scanning said my mushrooms weren't scanned in and she wanted me to go to a register and pay for them. Remember an employee scanned my things. I told her I wasn't going back and she could take them. She handed me back the register receipt and I saw that indeed the mushrooms had been scanned. She said the price was not the right one. This has nothing to do with me, it was scanned and that's what it came up as. The price she had was 40 cents more than what I paid. She said I must have some other mushrooms in my cart, which I told her I did not. She proceeded to go through my cart. With a line gathering behind me. I was embarrassed. She finally gave me back the receipt and said I could go. Don't think this is a good way to treat customers. It will be a while before I go back. This Sams Club is located in Dickson City, Pa.

Sam's Club Sams Club Member helpline

I called the number on the back of my Sams Club Credit Card to ask about a charge that i had not made. They ask me over and over to repeat a whole lot of personal information. They never did get me to Customer Service in reference to what I was calling about. They then wanted to charge a lot of fees for a Walmart gift card which I kept declining but none the less they then tried to give me a Confirmation Number! Being such a good member of sams club, I found this to be like sheer Fraud! I never got the help I needed until I went on line to Contact sams customer Service. I fear that they will try to put a lot of unauthorized charges on my account. This experience was Very Disturbing to say the least. Very Truly, Sharon A. Goodbub Tel. [protected]

Sam's Club business relationship vs. political/social activism

I have been a member for close to 30 years and have always loved shopping in-store and on-line. However, I take issue with a place of business becoming involved in political and social modern trends. Many Christians (followers of Jesus" as we have condescendingly been called) take offence at your recent efforts to make Sam's Club politically and socially acceptable to the secular or agenda-driven segment of society. I don't expect to be greeted by articles on employees and their personal issues when all I want to do is purchase tuna. I had already recognized the futility of taking on Walmart, but I had hoped Sam's Club had more respect for the Judeo-Christian ethic. I am seriously considering dropping my membership at renewal-time, but I wonder if it will matter to anyone but me.

Sam's Club Home Delivery

I order delivery once or twice a month. Today my order arrived with banged up items due to the lack of packing pillows. They did not put any in. They also packed food with deodorant and Nair hair remover, which one of the hair removers opened and leaked. I have tried calling the store, but they dont seem to answer calls. Probably the end of my Sams days...

Sam's Club Customer Service/Worker

During Covid we switched from Costco to Sams Club because you catered to the Seniors better, and have been with you since. But something very upsetting happen to us on 06/16/2021 at about 11:06 am. We just left the self check-out and was walking out when a worker was looking down at her phone and almost ran into us. We stopped fast and the lady behind us ran into us and ran up on my husbands heal. (hurt!) My husband was upset and said to the worker that it was her fault and she needed to put the phone down. The worker pushed my husband and told him to get the F... away from her. We then left the store very upset. I do believe that the worker should be fired! Can't tell you her name, she was a little heavy. This all happened at the Palmdale store. We normally go on early senior days and the people are so nice. Just want you to know what kind of workers you have on staff.

Desired outcome: Person needs to be fired
