  Date: January 29, 2025 To Whom It May Concern,I am writing to lodge a complaint regarding the eye exam services my wife and I received at the BJ's Wholesale Club *************** on January 29, 2025. Our experience was far below our expectations and left us feeling frustrated, humiliated, and deceived.Details:Unprofessional Conduct: The technician informed us that the tests were based on their "best guess" and that the doctor on Zoom also "guesses" the results, undermining the service's credibility.Breach of Privacy: During my exam, the technician discussed my wife's eye results in detail, leaving her embarrassed and upset.Pressure to Purchase Unnecessary Products: We were pressured to buy progressive lens glasses despite needing only inexpensive reading glasses.Misleading Information: I was misled into believing the tests were for contacts, but they were only for glasses, wasting our time and money.Lack of Empathy and Solutions: The manager offered no solutions or empathy when I expressed my concerns.Conclusion:The entire process was embarrassing, humiliating, and a waste of $150. We feel ripped off, lied to, and frustrated. This experience highlighted significant issues with the professionalism, privacy practices, and customer service at this location.We urge the Better Business Bureau to investigate this matter and ensure that the BJ's Wholesale Club *************** is held accountable. Additionally, we recommend staff training on privacy laws, customer service, and accurate communication of their services.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely,***** and ********* *********

  On January 30, 2025, I went to use my debit card at an Aldi's in *******, **. The pin number had been changed. When I got home, I logged into my debit card holder account and realized that the Pin had been changed and the balance on the account had been drained in one transaction made online to BJ's Warehouse at ***************************************. The purchase was for $4,162.24. The debit provider thinks it was part of a phishing scam at a card reader site. I still ahve the card in my possession. I was able to obtain the fraudulent transaction from the debit provider, I have the BJ's member's delivery address and the transaction number that was used to make the purchase. The purchase had been made about 1 hour before I caught it so it would have not had time to be processed! I began calling BJ's and asking for help. I was hung up on multiple times and told there was nothing they would do. Eventually, I got a representative to listen and was escalated to supervisor to try to get the transaction cancelled or paused while they investigate. In between calls, I called the police to file a complaint and they said that BJ's had the power to stop the transaction and it was the ONLY hope of ever seeing that money again. We spoke to multiple "supervisors", but as of 2/2/2025, they have not intervened or helped us. They did acknowledged it appeared to be fraud as the member name did not match my debit card. Yet, they still would not stop the transaction. They gave me a reference number to the incident, but have not returned my multiple calls. BJ's had the power to intervene. They chose the most convenient way for them to keep the money in their revenue. It's not an ok way to doing business.

  Attention **************** at BJ's:  

  Thank you for the canned response.  We were directed back to you by both the police and the debit card provider as policy has recently changed and we notified your supervisors of this directive.  It is the police and the debit card provider's believe that YOUR organization had the power to stop this transaction and that the funds would be unrecoverable otherwise.  I spoke extensively to customer service representatives (Multiple ones even after being hung up on multiple times) regarding the specifics and the recent changes.  The debit card provider no longer offers any sort of reimbursement due to the extensive fraud they have been facing as of 12/24/2024.  Have you reviewed the complaint that I filed to BJ's and the timeline?  I can provide a transaction number if you are willing.  BJ's needs to put protective measures in place to protect consumers.  But your organization doesn't care, do they? 

  Have you flagged the BJ's member who committed the fraud?  Have you researched their account to see how many others your "Member" has stolen from?  We were able to provide a transaction number along with the shipping address.  You have an obligation as well to prevent fraud especially when it is brought to you within the hour.    Companies have resources to put flags in place especially on large transactions with different cardholder names/ different shipping addresses.  Why doesn't BJ's WANT to help reduce fraud?  Is it because you get the money regardless? 

  If this order hasn't fully shipped out, I am still begging you to do the common sense thing.  All you had to do was pause it or cancel the transaction and this fraud would have been stopped immediately.  One of the supervisors I spoke to admitted it was suspicious and likely fraud.  It was OBVIOUS.

  Regards,

  As stated in the previous email, the *** debit card provider has instructed me MULTIPLe times to take this up with BJ's and this fast has been communicated multiple times!  I have also secured a screenshot from ******** website that states that companies they do business with are responsible to detect and prevent fraud.  Not just simply refer fraud back to the state at the taxpayers expense.  I have calls into upper manage at BJ's and hoping to get some policies addessed on this matter.  It's time to STOP fraudulent behavior from CRIMINALS!

  The store is BJ's Wholesale Club at ******************** in ***************, **. The other day, January 15, I bought a printer. After 3 days, the price went down $35. So, I went to the store and asked for a price adjustment with my receipt. I was told I needed the physical item, which was in my car. I brought it back to the store, and to my surprise, the employee I had seen before called the manager. His name was *******. Now, they both assumed that I stole a printer from inside the store and tried to return it even though I showed the receipt. i tried to call corporate office without any call back from anyone

  On 1/18/2025 approximately noon, I placed an order in the BJ's wholesale club app for pickup at my local club. I selected 13 items which were labeled as in stock at the time of my order. BJs placed a hold of $206.08 on my debit card at the time of the order. The scheduled pickup time was 8 ***** 7:50 pm on 1/18/2025, I received a text from BJs that my order was being shopped. At 8:02 pm I picked up my order. Six items had been cancelled as out of stock. My receipt reflected a final total of $85.43 for 7 items. The policy mentioned in the email states 5-7 days for the hold to be removed. On Friday, 1/24/2025, I contacted the BJs customer service number as was told the reversal/refund had been processed and will take 10 days. As of today, 1/28/2025, BJs has not corrected their hold on my debit card for $206.08.I am owed $120.65, which I expected to have for purchasing my grocery items not in stock at BJs. Although common, the practice of charging the customer for goods that aren't received is unreasonable. All responsibility should not be placed on the customer. I chose items in stock at the time of my order. Since quantities cannot be guaranteed, BJs should not charge the customer's card with the full amount, plus more for possible adjustments, until the order is shopped. Perhaps charging the shopping fee will verify the card ahead of time, with the final charge being done when the receipt is printed. Many vendors process refunds within hours, sometimes minutes. There is technology available that would allow BJs to quickly reverse a temporary hold, however the company chooses to take advantage of an outdated process while providing poor customer service when customers seek resolution.

  Reasons for my complaint: **** laptop was unable to turn on just from using it with care for less than 6 months 2.Misleading advertisement of *** information 3.Warranty information falsely advertised 4.Lack of Transparency 5.Deceptive Business Practices **** laptop was unable to turn on just from using it with care for less than 6 months Based on industry data, experiencing significant problems with a laptop within the first six months of ownership is uncommon. Factors like manufacturing defects, component failures, and brand reliability can influence these rates. Less than 10% of laptops experiencing major issues within the first six months. The caps lock key indicated 3 long blinking lights and 2 short blinking lights. Technicians mentioned it was a *** issue. This is an internal issue and I did not act irresponsibly towards the device. Technicians said that the *** for this computer may not be replaceable or upgradable. After speaking to a ** representative, it was finally turned on. 2.Misleading advertisement of *** information The advertisement did not specifically state the *** was attached the computer board. It simply states 8 ***. This violates New York General Business Law 349. New York General Business Law ******************************************** the conduct of any business, trade, or commerce within the state. 3.Warranty information falsely advertised A PDF document states there is 1 year warranty hardware and technical support, but that was not the case. ** actually wanted me to pay for fixing the device. Again, this violates New York General Business Law 349. 4.Lack of Transparency After my device was turned on, I asked the ** representative what happened. She said she does not know. 5.Deceptive Business Practices After all this, ** mentioned I can purchase a coverage plan for a certain price. I told them when devices are handled with care, there should not be a problem like this so early.

  If a non-member mentions a transaction on their card, ask them to clarify the type of card (EBT, credit, debit, etc.). If it is related to *** fraud, inform them they must file a report with the appropriate authorities or their local EBT office.

  That is for individuals who are receiving benefits suspected of fraud or businesses fraudulently stealing benefits. If you are telling me the business you work for (Bjs wholesale) are intentionally taking government benefits then I can report that too. Can you confirm?

  On 1/13/25, I purchased a TV from BJs online, which included shipping. After five days, there was no delivery and no tracking of the location of the TV, so I asked for a refund of $686.08. Rather than granting a refund, BJs processed the request as a "Return" and now will not refund the money until they get the TV back (which I never received). Their third-party shipping company has marked the transaction as "delivered", but no one knows what has happened and now I have no TV and no refund. I am asking for assistance to receive my refund immediately.

  I placed on order for pick up on 12/7/24. I received confirmation that my order was ready so I waited in my car for over 30 minutes. No one came with my groceries so I left. I then receive a phone call from an employee asking where I was because he was outside with my groceries. I told him I had to leave so I was no longer there. He said ok. I then received an email thanking me for picking up my groceries. I then text the employee that called me and tell him I received an email that my order was picked up. He texted me back and said I assure u it was not. just keep your order number in tact for now which I did. This is insane that I am being charged for an order I did not pick up!!!!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!! Ive called the store several times on 12/7/24 and today. No one EVER answers the phone!!

  We booked a cruise using BJs travel on 1/17/2025, booking number 6-45477160. There were several advertised BJs exclusives, including a $100 on board credit. Only after we booked did we realize we did not receive the credit. We immediately called, and the agent advised we did qualify but she was unable to process the credit and would resolve the issue with the promo team. On 1/22/25 we were notified that because we received a discount by being a NYS resident, we could not receive the on board credit. As of this writing, we have not been able to obtain any outward facing information that reiterates this explanation. In fact, the resident discount is from the cruise line, Norwegian, and is in no way related to the on board credit which is a BJs exclusive. I have screen shots of BJs website pertaining to both the perks and the on board credit. There are no listed exclusions for combing a resident discount with an on board credit.
