      12/22/2023 - I have placed an order for Best Buy Apple Watch Series 9 ($450.00) value, same day delivery through Shipt, but never received it. Shipt promises you a tracking number and proof of delivery but I never received it. Their delivery driver snapped proof of delivery of a random building and called it a day, clearly running off with my order. I contacted customer service a handful of times only to find out driver is ***, whom they cannot reach out to. But first calls went to voicemail and second time out of service. **************** claimed they are not responsible, but its their driver. I just want my refund! They need to be held accountable!

      I placed a same-day delivery order at Target around 2pm. It said that it would be delivered between 4 PM and 5 PM. At 4:15 PM the driver texted me and said ** on my way to your house. After 5 PM, I called shipt to tell them that my order was not delivered, and that I needed to leave my house to get to an appointment. They kept telling me to give the driver more time. Shipt tried reaching out to the driver, and they could not get an answer from him. They kept telling me to give him some more time. I Explained that he was already an hour late, as he had told me he was on his way at 4:15 and my house is 10 minutes from the store. I kept being put on hold and disconnected from the people I was speaking with at shipt. In total, I spent about an hour on the phone with them, with nothing resolved. I had to drive to target, have customer service refund, my order, go shop around the store for my stuff again, and lay out the money again. The refund does not go back into my account. They said for up to five days, so I technically had to lay out double the amount for my groceries, which I cannot afford to do. I am extremely displeased with the customer service from the ********************** company, as they did nothing to resolve the problem or to compensate me for having to lay out a double payment and the time it took.

      12/20/23 I placed a Target order for $129.60 to be delivered by Shipt today from 6-7pm. My shopper, ****, contacted me at 5:15pm to let me know he was about to begin shopping. He contacted me about an item at 6:16pm, and I texted the substitute. I had no other contact. At 6:07pm Shipt sent me a text that the order was in progress. I continued to check the order status that was out for delivery. At 8:59 I texted the driver to see if he was ok. Then at 9:17pm I called Shipt, since the driver didn't respond. Shipt told me that the driver would be there in 22 minutes. At that time, I asked for compensation for my late order and was told to wait until the driver arrived. At 9:49pm I contacted Shipt again. The driver still had not arrived. I asked for compensation. At first they offered $10 then $15 then $20. During this one hour call, each time waiting for supervisor permission, the driver did not arrive. I wanted compensation for the refrigerated and the frozen items adding up to $73 - at the very least. Then I was offered a Shipt credit which I didn't want, as I canceled my Shipt membership through Target tonight. Shipt said that I needed to contact Target since the prepaid order was placed with a Shipt membership through Target. Now that it was 11pm, the virtual chat indicated that a customer service agent wasn't available and that Target's fix an issue was an option. I tried it and it also wasn't available. I then called Target White *** ******** ***** Services who told me to contact Shipt. I explained that Shipt referred me to Target, and Target provided two corporate numbers. Only one worked ***************). After 11pm the recording at this number said that I should call back during business hours. Now after spending over 7 hours ordering, waiting, and calling, it is 11:34pm. I still have no groceries, and I am out $129.60. I now don't want to continue wanting on this order, and I demand a full refund & credit for remaining Shipt membership.

      Complaint: 21039271

      I am rejecting this response because:this is completely bogus.  In the two calls to Shipt lasting well over an hour, there was no customer service at all.  They simply didnt care.  They only wrote what they did due to this BBB complaint. I already contacted Target for a refund.  However, I blame Shipt completely for this ordeal, and Shipt should face consequences.  I demand a Shipt refund for my remaining Shipt membership of 8 months, Offering an extended membership and Shipt credit does me absolutely no good, as I am never interested in doing business with this company again.

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because: there has been no additional response from Shipt.  You are asking me about what I have already previously rejected. I will accept nothing less than a refund of the 8 months that were remaining on my Shipt membership prior to my cancellation.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      I am reaching out to file a formal complaint against Shipt for the loss of an expensive item, Apple Watch series 9, bought for $479, which was supposed to be delivered to me but went missing under their service.

      On Dec5th, I placed an order through ******, order number **************** choosing Shipt for the delivery of an item worth $479. The package was marked as delivered by Shipt’s driver, yet it never arrived at my location. When I approached ****** to address this issue, they directed me to Shipt, stating that the delivery service was responsible.

      Despite my efforts to resolve this matter with Shipt, I have been met with inadequate responses and a lack of resolution. This lack of action and responsibility is particularly disconcerting given the high value of the missing item.

      Therefore, I am not only requesting an immediate investigation into this incident but also demanding a full refund of $479 or same amount ****** gift card. The financial loss, coupled with the inconvenience and disappointment caused by this incident, warrants prompt and appropriate action.

      I am hopeful that the Better Business Bureau will assist in this matter and ensure a fair and swift resolution. Your involvement is crucial in addressing such service shortcomings and ensuring accountability.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Sincerely,

      I utilize Shipt multiple times a week. Recently orders will be claimed and supposedly delivered. However, I received no items. I contact customer support and they refund my order.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because this is nothing but a generic response to my inquiry. I have had several situations in which a delivery is said to have been completed and my credit card charged. I then find out it's not delivered and I have to call to get a refund. I think it's fraudulent and it's intentional. It has happened many times on my account. Deep dive my situation and figure out what's wrong. Someone is using our money for a period of time likely gaining interest on it and returning it back to us.

      On 11/11/23, I placed an order via Target.com. I was scheduled to receive the delivery between 9pm-10pm. The order never arrived to my home. I contacted Shipt customer service to resolve the matter, the representative stated that the order did not go through in reality I was charged for the full transaction. The representative placed me and hold and stated I would receive a receipt showing I would receive a refund this never happened. He then proceeded to transfer me to Target. I asked him not to transfer me because Target is now closed. He hung up on me. I called back again the representative I spoke to refused to transfer me to a manager. So I am now I lost ******. The customer service at ********************** is poor, I am still sitting here with no resolution.

      If you order something from this company, they add money to your finale bill and says it will refund. But they don't refund and are skimming money off each order.With **** of orders it adds up real quick.

      As a company, Shipt always seeks to provide an exemplary member experience. We consider anything less to be unacceptable, and we definitely want to make this right.

      We apologize for the cause of concern. When a member places an order with Shipt, we preauthorize the amount the order is expected to cost plus a small allowance for substitutions and/or additions. Any tip left on the order after it has been placed will be authorized and captured separately. If there is a special request on the order, the member may see a higher pending total because we estimate $6 as the cost of each special request into the hold placed on the card. These will be pending charges, but we will only capture the amount of the order total based on the items the shopper delivers. For the members most recent order, their card was preauthorized for $54.07. Since the total came to $48.48, the members card was refunded $5.59 and a receipt has been sent to the members provided email address for confirmation. 

      If for some reason we do not preauthorize for enough, we will take the remaining amount out as a second payment. If the preauthorized amount is more than the actual order total, we will partially refund part of that preauthorization and only charge the member based on the accurate order total which will be reflected on the itemized receipt received via email.

      Our Experience Team can be reached directly at ************, via email at *********************************** and via live chat on our homepage at Shipt.com. This information can be found on our website at ***********************************************.
