      My Order #********* was stolen. I spent $135 and also tipped. The order was claimed to be delivered but when I went to retrieve the items they were not at my door.. I reached out to support and they claim that after its been delivered they are not responsible for the order. Not knowing that just because its marked as delivered doesnt mean the order got to the customer it could be marked to save the other person from getting in trouble. I want my money back this isnt fair at all its unacceptable and I will not be using this app ever again. Its not fair to the people who work hard for their money. Yall are scammers and do fraud and need to be shut down

      I placed an order through the Shipt app rather than through the target app fully knowing that this is a target brand and would treat my purchases and/or returns in the same manner. I purchased three pairs of jeans and the shopper was able to secure two that werent the size they I asked for, but would try on, because I needed them. When I arrived at my friends home, where the delivery was sent to I found the bag drenched and as well as the two pairs of jeans. It first upset me because why would a delivery that is not in a packaging to withstand these conditions be placed in the wide open to these elements? Fully knowing that the product was wet I still tried on the items and they didnt fit so I referred back to the app to request a refund in effort to get a pair or two that would. Their weee only a few options i could choose and I choose damaged. The app assured me that I would receive a response within ***** hours and heard nothing. I wasnt sure the process so I called because I have the original receipt, but the items were purchased on the shoppers po card so I wanted to make sure the funds went back to me and what the process would be. I explained via phone call and was put on hold extensively. I was then denied credit? I didnt ask for credit I asked how my funds will be returned fully knowing that Im out of any fees or upsells associate with Shipt. It fathoms me to know that Im using an app that I thought was reputable to an app that is a all sales final platform for the customer without making the customer aware. I want my money back for these items. I have been a loyal customer to Target/********************** and wouldve never imagined that If I purchase the wrong size pair of jeans with such a platform like this that Im out of luck? When I said that I will return it i asked where the money would go and they said indirectly its theres!!!

      This complaint is in regards to the terrible treatment of customers and members by ********************** customer service. I have placed several orders with Shipt and have spent a ridiculous amount of money on their platform due to the price gouging. Nonetheless when it came to my most recent order, not only did I receive salmon that was not covered (the packaging was damaged whether by fault of the shopper or the store), I also had three other missing items which I reported in a very timely manner. As soon as I realized these items were missing and damaged I reached out via chat as well and the only response I received was that they are denying to assist me further with this. Shipt knows the payment method I used to place this order and they need to refund the missing items and damaged item back to that payment method. There is no reason at all to deny someone for something they provided you proof of within ************************************************* If customers cannot trust to receive their items in good shape or be refunded when those items do not arrive then Shipts platform cannot continue to operate. There can be no faith in grocery delivery services when this is the way they handle issues.

      We would like to express our sincerest apologies to this member for the poor experience and frustration this caused. Our records show that the Atlantic Salmon was credited back to the Member's Shipt account and put towards the balance of Order #*********. We have issued a refund for the remaining items today for the $51.96 charge associated with order #********* to satisfy this BBB complaint.

      We would also like to inform the member that we noticed that we have extended an unusually high amount of credit and refunds to their account compared with what we typically see. Of the members $459.86 spent on purchases since September 2024, we have refunded or credited $344.28. We are happy to review any feedback or insight the member would like to provide on their experience using the contact information below.

      SHOPPERS and BUYERS BEWARE I was hired as a shopper years ago and never actually started work with the company. Shipt has been charging my account for years. I reached out to them multiple times to resolve the issue. They claim to have no prior knowledge of my account, that it doesnt exist and the charges are not occurring on their end therefore this is not their problem. There is no process for escalations, no chain of command or anyone to appeal to. It just seems a little too convenient that when someone has told you they requested an account cancelation years ago to suddenly have no trace of them? Especially when the potential refund due might be significant.

      Shipt has stoped me from being able to order things from their app. I was trying to purchase some things for my household but they canceled my order. I talked to their support and they said my account was on hold and that i had to email their payment team and so i did, 3 days later they tell me i have to show my ID. I just wanted to buy some things for my household and I have to show my ID to use the service now? This is unacceptable I dont trust shipt with my ID and I hope we can come to a satisfactory resolution because i'm a paying customer who just wants to use the app but since my account is on hold i cannot do that. I refuse to show my ID as it is unnecessary and an invasion of my privacy.

      There are number of things wrong with this service compared to other delivery services. First off, why does the shopper have the liberty to buy a completely different item if the originally requested item wasnt available? Not only did they buy something completely different, they never called us to confirm the substitutions, AND they added a reusable bag to our order (which cost money!!). I DID NOT ask to buy a bag, why is this being added to my order?? Why wasnt any additions or substitutions communicated before delivery??So now I need to know physically go to Target to return the incorrect items, because I was given no courtesy call about the substitutions. And now the process to refund the tip is incredibly difficult, because why would I tip someone who bought all the wrong things? Why cant this be resolved through the app like other services like DoorDash? The mistakes isnt want bothers me, it is the PROCESS TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE that is awful.The process is intentionally predatory for those who dont feel like going through a 30 minute phone call to refund a $5 tip. Im not saying $5 is a lot of money to one person, but to a company which probably has several incorrect orders daily, those tips on mishandled orders probably add up fast. It is so obvious what the company is trying to accomplish with this customer service policy, to take advantage of their shoppers, by implementing a hidden, inconvenient, and tedious refund process for their customers. I will NEVER support ********************** again.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:


      I want to clarify that I promptly notified Shipt about the non-delivery of my order as soon as I became aware of the situation. After reaching out to their customer service team, I was advised to contact the payments department for assistance with the refund. However, upon doing so, I was informed that they could not help me with this issue.

      Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that I confirmed to your team that I did not receive the order, and the drop-off location indicated was different from my actual address. This discrepancy has added to my concern regarding the handling of my order.

      Given the circumstances, I believe I have followed the appropriate channels to seek resolution and support. Therefore, I would appreciate your immediate attention to rectify this matter, ensuring I receive the refund I am entitled to.

      Thank you for your understanding and prompt assistance in resolving this issue.



      Sincerely,

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
