      I have been a loyal chewy customer well I ordered one of those Kong ********************** treats dispensers they bout choked my cat. My 3 cats do not chew on stuff they are , 3,7,and 8 yrs my older cat was getting a treat and I noticed purple pieces on the ground he was so close to swallowing the piece of treat dispenser I didn't know it was cracked and looked it up there were other people that had issues with the same one my upstairs neighbor too. This product should be recalled. Another item not so dangerous I bought what I thought was a flying chicken for my cats it does not fly unless u throw it, well anything will fly when u throw it lmao it's just another piece of junk I wasted ***** on I'm so upset. I ordered today Called 3 times for no one to tell me my account is locked one person hung up on me when I told her my cat was trying to eat the treat dispenser could have choked my cat I was so scared but thank God I caught it. That can cause a intestinal blockage!!!!!!!!!!!

      I ordered seven separate ***** food items for my puppy. Out of the seven containers, two containers ( ***** Home Delights Sausage ************* and Cheese in Gravy Case of 24 Qty:1 as well as ***** Home Delights Grilled NY Strip flavor w/ Vegetables Case of 24 Qty:1 ) were leasing juices and minimal food due to the "peel back" openers coming off the food containers.I called Chewy upon discovery and was told I would be called back within 24 hours. I was not called, but yet sent two emails with return labels in order for my items to be replaced.1.) The items were open and leaking and a shipper WILL NOT ship open and leaking items.2.) the items being requested for return are at the bottom of a city dumpster but yet they wanted me to obtain the item(s)........Now I am out almost $100.00 and Chewy WILL NOT replace the damaged food items.

This allows us to investigate any potential product issues and ensure quality control.

      Email sent with $15 credit code MISSYOU15. It doesnt work. They cannot figure out why either. Yet they keep sending emails reminding me to use it. They offered to credit my card $15 if I give them the number. There is NO WAY Im giving anyone my CC number. When I tried to use it I got the message below:Please add eligible items to your order to redeem this promo code (MISSYOU15).There is nothing anywhere indicating eligible items. They dont know that either. Either make the code work, give me one that does or stop sending invalid codes.

      Hey there *****,

      I'm so sorry about your recent experience. At Chewy, we strive to provide a positive experience with every customer interaction, and we dropped the ball here. We will certainly review your most recent interactions with our customer service representatives and follow up with the agents for any missed opportunities.

      We sincerely apologize for the delay and any confusion regarding your refund. Upon reviewing your order ending in *****, we found that additional validation of your return was required before the $22.39 refund could be processed, leading to an unexpected delay. I can confirm that the refund was successfully issued on March 6, 2025. Generally speaking, you will see the refund amount credited to the account associated with the payment method on file within 3 to 6 business days from the processing dates, however that timing may vary based on your banking institution.

      We really appreciate your understanding and thank you for giving us the opportunity to help with this. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here 24/7 to lend a helping paw.

      We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion regarding your refund. I did some digging and was able to locate your order ending in *****. On March 6, 2025, we processed a partial refund in the amount of $22.39 for the items our team was able to verify at that time. A secondary partial refund in the amount of $23.37 was processed on March 28, 2025, for the remaining items. Generally speaking, you should see the refunded amounts credited to the account associated with the payment method on file within 3 to 5 business days from the processing dates, however that timing may vary based on your banking institution.

      I placed an order on chewy and was told I would receive some items as soon as 1-3 days. I received an email saying part of my order shipped and would arrive on March 3rd. I contacted chewy after my order didnt arrive and they said that since I had multiple orders they were just going to wait and ship it all together so now the items werent going to arrive by the promised delivery date. They are blaming it all of ***** and refusing to do anything to fix the issue. I was never notified my order would be delayed or that the items werent actually shipped.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me and giving Chewy the opportunity to make it right.

      Hi there ******,

      I'm so sorry about your recent order experience. At Chewy, we strive to provide a positive experience with every customer interaction, and we dropped the ball here. I apologize for any frustration you may be experiencing because of it.

      Ive done a little digging and Im happy to provide an update on the order ending in *****. According to ***** GPS tracking, the package was delivered to the address on file. Additionally, we did some digging and located multiple accounts associated with your information. Based on our internal review, we have determined that your order history shows multiple reported missing deliveries across all your accounts. Due to this pattern, we are unable to process a replacement or refund for this order. If youd like to continue to order from Chewy, and to help ensure successful future deliveries, we recommend a secure pickup location, such as a Walgreens, ***** Office, or other authorized ***** pickup center.

      If you need further clarification, please give us a call at **************, and a supervisor will be happy to assist you.

      I placed an order with incorrect information, and contacted them immediately via chat and was told order was cancelled. When I went to place correct order a little bit later it told me pending autoship and then realized first one was not cancelled. Chat again....and Kayala told me she would contact driver and have first order returned to them...this was all on 02/21 - so...I looked again and she did not give me the correct autoship price for the order she placed - so, I gave up and called this time,, new girl, very nice...told me she was sorry and second order was locked - she would have to cancel and place a 3rd order to fix autoship price. I said OK, and she told me she cancelled it. NOW - I have 3 pending orders...had to call again on Saturday and they took off the 20 to correct price lady did not for 3rd order. I don't want any of them now!!!!!! and NONE OF THEM HAVE SHIPPED AND THEY WILL NOT REFUND ME...MAYBE TOMORROW. I guess this was worth losing a customer over and they could care less about my bank account

      My vet sent a prescription to Chewy for my two small dogs. The medication needed to be compounded and they were supposed to ship it over night and for me to receive it by Monday. If I did not receive by Monday and I had to get the medication elsewhere sooner that Chewy would reimburse me. I sent a copy of the receipt 4 times.

      This company should be ashamed of itself. I have now lost thousands of dollars of packages due to Chewys neglect and lack of accountability. I have confirmed my address, filed complaints, spoken to managers. All for the cycle to continue. I have lost speciality medication and food for my cats and my service dogs. You are purposely mistreating a disabled individual and her federally protected service dog. I have had employee after employee lie, gaslight, and shift blame. All as my pets continue to suffer. Shame on you for being profit greedy soulless monsters.

      Dear *******,

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your recent experience with us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

      I understand how incredibly frustrating and upsetting this situation has been, especially given the importance of these orders for your pets and service dog. I assure you that we take these concerns very seriously, and we sincerely regret any distress this has caused you.

      I did some digging and located your account. We understand that you previously spoke with a supervisor and were issued a $150 refund for the delivery delay on your order ending in ***** to assist with a local purchase. Generally speaking, you will see the refunded amount credited to the account associated with the payment method on file for the order within 3 to 5 business days after the date it was processed, however that timing may vary based on your banking institution. Also, I can confirm via ***** tracking that your order ending in ***** was delivered February 3, 2025.

      Lastly, I understand the importance of having an order delivered on time, and how this delay may have inconvenienced your pet family and your personal schedule. To that end, we filed a complaint on your behalf with the shipper to help address the ongoing inconsistencies with your deliveries.

      We really appreciate your feedback and thank you for giving us the opportunity to help with this. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here 24/7 to lend a helping paw.

I did some digging and was able to locate your order. I see that youve reached out to our team, and we processed a replacement order that is currently on its way to you, along with the original order.
      As a courtesy, and because you are a valued customer, I have refunded your order, as well as added a $30 eGift Card to your account. Generally speaking, you should see the refund amount credited to the account associated with the payment method on file within 3 to 5 business days, though that timing may vary based on your banking institution.

      Lastly, we have contacted our shipper about the situation, and are still currently working to get your order to you as soon as we possibly can.
      We really appreciate your feedback and thank you for giving us the opportunity to help with this. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here 24/7 to help however we can.

      Warm regards,
