      I ordered 10 bottles of ******* Natural Passion Fruit Juice at $2.99. I was charged before Safeway even made the order. Delivery came with one bottle of above named juice and I was charged $8.00 for the delivery. However they removed from my card $38.30. The same thing happened last month with different order. They removed transaction last month and kept $26.00. I called customer service and they ended up hanging the phone up. Im disabled and can barely walk. Safeway or any others company should not abuse elders. They said itll be 7 working days. You told me that last month. I still have not gotten money back.

      Greetings ***********************: 

      Please accept our apologies for the unavailable items on your recent order. We reviewed your receipt and found that 9 quantities of the Florida's Natural Passion Fruit Splash were out of stock, therefore they was not delivered, and you were not charged for them. All the orders are picked from the store shelves by in-store personal shoppers. Unfortunately, it is possible that items that are available for orders at the time of checkout may not necessarily be on the shelf at the time of picking. We recommend using the substitution feature at checkout, which allows you to choose options for personal shoppers when they find an item unavailable. 

      Additionally, as noted in our terms of use, a pre-authorization charge is made to your debit/credit card based on the estimated total in your Order Summary when placing an order online with us. In the event that your order is changed when fulfilled due to out of stock items, substituted items, or weighted products, the final charge for your order may change from the estimated total. 

      When a final charge is made from your order on the date of delivery/pickup, the pre-authorization that was made at checkout is then removed and will be released from your debit/credit card within **** business days. 

      Checking your recent orders, we have confirmed that no pre-authorization charges are still on your debit/credit card from our end, and only the final charges from your orders remain as listed on your delivery order receipt. For example, with your delivery order from 07/21/2023, our end only shows the final charge of $10.99 for the order that was adjusted due to the out of stock items. 

      If you are seeing any charges other than the final charges for your delivery orders at this time, we recommend contacting your banking institution for further assistance. 

      We can assure you that we are doing everything possible to provide an excellent grocery delivery service, and we are confident that in the future your orders will reflect that commitment.

      If you are experiencing any other issues or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reply, chat, or call us at **************.

      Thank you for shopping with us.

      I filed a complaint earlier and you do not allow further uploads of documents as I have tried repeatedly. I ordered online & 1/2 my order was not delivered for a 9 am delivery. After phoning customer service immediately I was informed there was NO possibility of a redelivery of my errant delivery until the following day. Given I was making dinner for guests I ordered from ****** Stones on Instacart to replace the items which were missing. Fast forward to 4:30 pm the same day & an extremely rude delivery person was waiting at the top of my stairs. I indicated I had already purchased all of the items which were missing & he just left it there. Upon NUMEROUS contacts w/ customer service via phone and email I asked for $52.18 of the original order to be refunded. Replacing these items cost A LOT more. In the interim I have received multiple conflicting emails via web, Yelp etc. to no avail. The latest asked me to jaunt on over to the Marina ********************** and fill out a form due to their ineptitude (hip ************** replacement don't make it easy). It's not that hard. You order from a Company, receive and pay for a product. **********************.com or Marina ********************** are delaying, obfuscating and lying.

      I placed order #**** or ********* on the app several days ago. I found great $5 deals on proteins and wants to stock up as much as I could. I am fixed income and on disability. During my shopping I found a listing for .5# ribeye a $5.99 per pound and decided to give it a try as a treat, I never do that for myself. I entered a 1 into the box and thats that. Fast forward I drive to Safeway with my kids, order is brought to my vehicle And I head home. Ive never once had an issue here the employees are fantastic. Ive lived in town for the last 6 years and frequent the store often. Once I arrive at home and unpack I immediately notice the two huge packs of bone in ribeye, listed at $9.99 per pound and priced at $71 and some change overall. I immediately contact Safeway through the app, tell them that my rent alone will not process with this much cash being deducted, and that I needed to return the items but theres no way I could get to the store that evening. I was told that a refund was in the works And the meat wasnt mentioned again. I put the pack into the freezer where they still are Today and now Ive been denied my refund and made to feel awful by three separate representatives on their chat feature. I ask that those chats be used as evidence here to show that *** said EXACTLY the same here as there. I need this $71 refund and if I have to go through my bank Im going to also file a suit in small claims for the added stress of the entire event. Please understand I did not do any of this to be greedy, I ordered bags of $5 chicken just to have meat at home and received $71 in ribeyes. Why in the world would I do that??

      Im disabled and ill, I depend on grocery pickup at the Safeway closest to me. Its the only Safeway within 50 miles. ***** time I order, there is something wrong or more. I got to the point that I stopped filling out the customer reviews they email because its doesnt do anything to help me, it just wastes my time and energy. The last time I did pickup was the worst so I had to report it to BBB. The meat they brought me was expired and parts of it were brown and hard. When we arrived at the store, the pickup signs were covered and I had to call in many many times over 30 minutes to get my order brought out. The guy acted like he wasnt in reality. And when he brought out our order, he was extremely inappropriate towards my 12 year old daughter. He acted gross and I couldnt believe my eyes. My son had to step between them because the guy was reaching for her hair before he turned and went back in the store like everything was fine. We went home stunned. Is this what I have to look forward to from Safeway? Rotted meat and inappropriate employees? ********* the extra miles to Whole Foods where Im treated with dignity.

      I placed a delivery order (#********; $69.62) that was scheduled for May 31, 2023. The driver called to say he couldnt make it to our house and that the delivery would be rescheduled. When it was not delivered the following day, I called Safeway and they said it would arrive June 2 and that I would receive a $10 credit for the inconvenience. When the delivery did not arrive June 2, I called again and was told it would arrive June 3 and that I would receive another $10 credit. The delivery did not arrive on June 3, and I called to cancel the order. During that call and on a subsequent call on June 5, I was told I would receive a full refund, but the credit card I used still has no record of funds credited to my account. Moreover, my ********************** app incorrectly describes my order as having been delivered and my $20 credit as a partial refund. I am still owed $69.92 for this undelivered order, and their customer support has surprisingly incompetent throughout this whole ordeal. I have wasted so much time trying to resolve this situation on the phone.

      Chronic overcharges and rude behavior from employees and store manager. I deal with this almost weekly yet the store mgr blames me for incorrect information pertaining to my account. Blaming customers for their incompetence and rudeness is unacceptable! Even the store mgr is unbelievably rude!

      Earlier this year, Safeway Delivery added "driver tip" to the billing for online orders. My primary issue is that when a customer selects a percentage of the order price, it doesn't get adjusted for the ACTUAL order being delivered. For example, if an order being placed is estimated at $200.00 before coupons/discounts and the customer stays with the default of 5% tip, the tip is listed as $10.00. But when the actual order is picked and the final receipt is created, the tip is NOT adjusted for the true 5%. Let's say the final picked/delivered order (after subs and out of stock items) winds up being $130.00. The driver tips remains $10.00, not the $6.50 it should be adjusted to be! This bad practice has cost customers (like myself) a lot of money and it's not okay! I have already voiced my concern to Safeway HQ, but was met with an auto-reply and the problem still exists. This sort of negligence is how class action lawsuits happen.

      I am rejecting this response because: this is the same automated blow-off response I received when I emailed the company directly. "Sharing with Management Teams for review" is code for "we're gonna put your issue in this nice little black hole where it will never be resolved." This is not a single-transaction issue. Safeway is bilking it's customers collectively of hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars each and every day! It's very simple coding, so get your programmers to fix the little 1s and 0s so we don't have to waste our time calling customer service to get every single delivery partially refunded.

      Sincerely,
