      My husband and I recently renovated our basement, so my children wanted to gift us for Christmas a television. My daughter went to the BJ'S on ********************************************************************************** on 12/3/2024 to purchase a 75" ************* with the one year protection plan which totaled $687.48. On 12/20/2024 as they wanted to install the television. When we opened the box, we noticed that only television was in the box. There was no accessories such as the cord, manual, or remote. Immediately, the television was placed back in the box it came in. My children attempted to go back to BJ'S to exchange the television. They first met with the shift manager ** (who lacked customer services). He simply stated the serial number did not match the box and therefore can not exchange the television. We left with the television, and was later advised to contact the store manager **** *******. On 12/22/2024, my daughter contacted **** ******* and explained the interaction with **. **** took all the information did his "investigation" and later my daughter called him as he requested a call back. When my daughter spoke with **** he reported that the television in the box was a ******* and not an *************. He also reported that after he reviewed the cameras it did not look as if the television was tampered with and that it was a brand new box. He also went on to state that "it was impossible for anyone at BJ'S or the warehouse to switch the television". We were taken back as this is the first we heard that the television was not an *************. First of all, when we took it out the box we never paid attention as we are not expecting that it was not an *************. Second **** is insinuating that we switched the television. That is a derogatory comment to make and defamation of character. I have been a loyal and satisfied customer as of recently of *******************************. I refuse to be accused of accusation as such and also to take a loss of of $687.48.

      I bought a Titan massage chair from BJs in **********, ******* on September 3, 2024. I called on September 21, 2024 and told them the chair was defective. Their resolution was to put in new rollers. They did that and the chair still is defective. It is now January 4, and I still have no resolution to getting my refund and for them to take back this chair. The case number is 934-3205. I have been working with them for over six months trying to get my refund and they keep making me go around and around in circles. They keep telling me that they are waiting for the manufacturer. I live on Social Security, which is not much and I really would appreciate some help to rectify this problem. I just want my money back and them to take this defective chair out of my house. The amount listed below is a The amount listed below is an approximate cost. Im sure the company will know how much they owe me. Thank you so much.

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

      I GOT YOUR CURRENT message and replied that it was unacceptable. The only reason I said that is because they did not say that they were going to send me what I paid for that chair which I would accept the $1800 because thats what I paid I was stating what the chair was worth which was $3200.

      If you noticed, BJs did not say that they were going to refund my money nor did they say that they were going to come pick up my chair. This company is very crafty.

       

      All I want is my money back. Whatever I paid please refund it. And please come pick up this chair. That is the acceptable solution for me. Thank you very much.

      I placed a same day delivery order on the bj's website for over $600 dollars. My items arrived and I noticed that I received items that I did not ask for and that more than half of the items that I paid for were not here. I contacted bj's immediately. It took over 4 hours for someone to finally answer the phone. A woman by the name of ******* answered, I explained to her what happened. She took my name, order number and said a manager would be calling me back. I waited another 2 hours and had no call from a manager so I called bjs back. After another hr of having to call them repeatedly a man answered the phone and placed me on hold. ******* came on the phone again, apologized for the inconvenience and said I would have to physically come down to bjs show them my receipt and contact instacart. I explained to ******* that I placed my order through the bjs website and that it is unfair for me to have to inconvenience myself to fix a problem that I did not cause more importantly why would I contact instacart when the order was placed through bjs. All she had to do was look up my information in the system and held fix the issue. Now I am out of over 300 dollars of missing items, I have 7 items of things that I didn't order and have no use for and anytime I try to contact bjs no one answers the phone. ******* told me that she would put me on hold and a manager would be contacting me. I stayed on gold from another 25 mins and the phone hung up. At this time it's around 9:15pm and with most of my day spent being frustrated on hold with bjs I decided to hang up, make a complaint with the BBB. This is disgusting. This business makes so much money, why try and take my hard earned dollars that I am using to feed my family. The business has a contract with a third party vendor has nothing to do with the customer. I should not be penalized for delivery gone wrong.

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

      I do not know why this was closed I responded to it but now cannot see the response. I am still working with AT&T and bjs on this. While they have offered me a $500 credit, the monthly bill is estimated to be $53 higher per month than quoted, AT&T store lost my trade although I have a receipt showing it turned in, and no record of the exchange although I show it received by them. So it appears I will not know what the actual bill will be for a few months. This has been chaotic from the beginning, one store refused to take the trade and exchange while the other store had 6 employees playing ******** with no customers. Apparently they sent the trade that I turned in but I am being told the box was empty when it arrived to their headquarters. Between lies and misconceptions and now theft, I am disheartened by how this company operates. I am still waiting to hear back from mark about the internet which he is discounting but we lost a grandfathered promotion that we cant get back at the same cost as we were promised no changes to our internet other than a bundle discount, while he changed everything back to the way it was and provided a standing discount, he could not give us the promotion that we had which now will cost us an additional $21 monthly which is almost equivalent to the discount he provided. The list goes on and on. I am not complaining to complain but every step of the way this company has failed me. I guess for now I will hope for the best but if my bill goes up by $53 monthly for 36 months which equates to $1908. Then $500 is a drop in the bucket. I believe that these ambulance chasing practices should be eliminated as I pay a membership fee to go into bjs I should not have been approached by a third party vendor who sold me a bag of lies.
      Please continue to help me so these companies can learn to elliminate these misconceptions. Thank you

      I drove all the way to Bjs in ******************* and was Rudely told I could not use my rewards without Id even though I have my card in my phone. I offered to show my license on my phone and was refused help. The manager was very rude. Customers were not made aware and I think that's unfair. I called customer service last week and have not been called back.

      Inner black Friday sales magazine, they offered the KitchenAid stand mixer. that was offered at $199 but had to be purchased online. We checked before Black Friday ,during the sale and after. and at no time was the product ever offered. Ive tried to contact them and have spoken to several individuals, including a supervisor which none have responded. They have since taken the KitchenAid stand mixer off their website. I have copies of all emails.

      I don't accept because at no time was the KitchenAid mixer available. I checked for it before the sale date, and nothing was available. I checked at midnight EST online and there still wasn't anything available. I checked in my local store and stores up to 100 miles from my location. I spoke with several ** Representatives and a supervisor, and no one ever responded.

      I purchased a television from BJ on 12/03/2024. This was supposed to be a gift for my parents for Christmas. When we attempted to open the ** 75" box to install the television we noticed that the cord, manual and remote was missing. We placed the television back in the box and brought it back on 12/20/2024, to BJ's on **************************************************************************** where the purchase was made initially. The first ******* we met with was PJ (who lacked good customer service). He simply stated that the serial number on the box did not match that of the television box and therefore could not exchange the television. We left with the television. I was advised to contact the regional store ******* **** *******, which I did on 12/22/2024. According to **** the television that was in the box was a ******* and not an **. I explained to him that the television we thought we purchased was supposed to be an ** and that maybe there was a switch at the warehouse which is why the box came with only a television and not the other items. **** flat out stated "that was impossible" there is no way that was done. Basically insinuating that we switched the television. First of all that is a derogatory comment to accuse my family of switching the television. Second, I refuse to take a loss after years of being a loyal customer of ********************** for more than 15 years. BJ's needs to either provide a full refund or exchange the television for what we paid for.

      Business Response

      Date: 01/04/2025

      Weve reached out to the household via email and are currently awaiting a response to help resolve this matter. Since the purchase was made under the Primary Membership, were unable to discuss any details with the household member to ensure the privacy of the account. The ******************** complaint must be filed by the individual whose membership number was used.

      Subject: Incorrect Sales Tax Refund on ************* Laptop Dear BJ's Customer Service,I recently purchased an **** laptop at an original price of $1,099.99, utilizing a $300 coupon, bringing the net purchase price to $799.99. During the purchase, NJ sales tax of *****% was calculated and collected on the full price of $1,099.99, amounting to $72.93.However, upon returning the laptop, I noticed that the sales tax refunded was calculated only on the net price of $799.99, which is $52.99. This resulted in a shortfall of $19.94 in the refunded sales tax. The discrepancy effectively means the sales tax collected on the $300 coupon discount has not been refunded, which seems unfair and potentially against consumer protection laws.I brought this issue to the attention of the store manager at your ****** location, but unfortunately, they were unable to resolve the matter. This lack of resolution adds to my concern about the accuracy and fairness of your system.I kindly request immediate rectification of this issue. Please refund the additional $19.94 to account for the correct sales tax amount collected during the purchase.I trust BJ's values its customers and ensures compliance with applicable tax regulations. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter.Regards,***** ************ (Membership # ***********)
