      Made a online order 11/20/24, for a massage chair. When the item came on 11/26/24, I checked the site to confirm I received the right item, the price of the item was reduced, I took a picture and contacted customer service instead of ***urchasing the item. The *** advised it would be escalated to review and the adjustment will be made within 3-5 days. On 12/4/24, I contacted them again though online chat and was told they were behind but was still working on it. I questioned the delaying or if additional information was needed offering to send picture showing the price. 12/6/24, I contacted by phone not understanding why this should take so long. I then was advised they were waiting on a picture showing the picture. Which didn't make sense because I offered it before and the *** specifically stated she would follow up with me so when were they going to request it. I was then told the price could not be adjusted because it was a clearance price. I explained this didn't make sense and it was the first time it was said. If this was the case I should have been advised this day 1 and I could have purchased the sale item and returned the other now the item is not in stock.

      I placed an order on 11/11/24 for delivery to my 84 year old mother...like I have done several times in the past. The order was not delivered to her but instead it was left on the sidewalk for her to come downstairs and retrieve it. I discovered that BJs made an update to their system and the apartment number was not passed on to the delivery person. The order consisted of items my mother could not lift and carry. She had to find someone to bring it to her apartment and had to pay the person $40 for their assistance. I reached out to BJ's requesting a refund of the tip, the delivery fee and the $40 my mother had to pay. I also requested to speak to a manager. I've spoken to a Supervisors/Team Leads: ***** R (on 11/11/24) and ***** (on 12/2) and I contacted BJs thru ******** on 11/11 & 11/21 & was told someone from leadership would contact me in 3 - 5 business days. As of today, 12/9/24, no one has contacted me. I received a credit for the delivery ******* received a gift card to cover the tip but I have not received anything for the $40 my mom had to pay someone and I need extra (as a BJs gift card) for the inconvenience of dealing with all of this.

      On 11/30/24, we drove from NY to DE (7 hrs round trip) to pick up a TV from BJs, which they said was ready. Upon arrival in ********** DE, a young man handed us a TV with a damaged box, claiming it was ours. After asking for a replacement, he disappeared, and we didn't see him again. We took photos for proof of what was given; the entrance lady asked to check our receipt, she gave us the ok to go. We left thinking we had the correct TV, drove back to ** in the dark. Next day, checked our order and saw the TV model given was incorrect, worth much less than what we paid. We contacted BJs and they issued 2 tickets for support, stating the issue had been escalated to leadership and we can go to the nearest store for assistance. We then drove to ****************, where a team member opened up the incorrect TV, processed a return ($497.99) and rung us for a new TV ($568.99), an extra $71.00! ************* NY did not grant as an even exchange with $0.00 paid and we could not accept the new price, explaining the issue was a result of BJs fault. We had ordered a TV with final cost $497.99 but was given something else which New Castle DE tried to pass off as correct. Supervisor ***** ***** at ************* promised to follow up and help. On 12/1/24, we received a call from Supervisor ******* *** of New Castle DE, who confirmed the mistake after reviewing security footage and said he would speak with his manager who will contact the ************* NY manager. I emailed ***** ***** 12/2/24 to let her know that DE reached out to me. Despite asking her for updates 12/2/24 and 12/4/24, the issue remains unresolved. We still havent received the correct TV at the final price we paid ($497.99). We are requesting that BJs honor the original final price of $497.99 for the correct TV or issue a $71.00 non-expiring credit. Thank you.

      Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********.

      I sent the following email to BJs and had Ccd BBB on it as well:

       

      Good Evening ***,

      I appreciate you reaching out to me.  As a recap, we ordered a TV for pickup at **********, DE. We were told item was ready for us so we drove from ** to DE. At pickup we were given a TV, which 2 employees of DE location supposedly verified. We drove back to ** and realized next morning it was the wrong TV. We spoke with customer service and then brought the incorrect TV to the nearest location at *************, **. Since the wrong item was given to us, we requested for an even exchange, so we can have the correct item match our Order #. Instead, the team at ************* processed a refund and wanted us to buy the TV from them, which is a $71.00 difference. We rejected the offer, as the extra $71.00 was not what we paid for at DE.

      Management should have done an internal discount to ensure the final price of $497.99 is paid from our pocket with the correct TV, which would be considered an even exchange. If business loss is a concern, which ***** ***** of ************* NY mentioned in person, then management should have submitted a report to HQ and requested the difference from the DE location. The team at ********* DE were the ones who made the mistake and caused a snowball effect, inconveniencing everyone who now has to address and clean up their mess.

      We, as customers, should not be paying the extra $71.00, had the employees at DE given us the correct item to begin with. We had another TV ship out to us since we still want the correct TV, but the final price paid was with $71.00 extra. Hence,

      A) We can accept a non-expiring credit from BJs in the amount of $71.00 to offset this.

      B) Otherwise, the other option is for BJs to sell us the correct TV at the originally ordered price from DE, final price $497.99 from our pocket with pickup from *************, ** (or free shipping to our address). It was also pointed out to me that we had paid with my BJs credit card, so an additional 15% cash back on our account needs to be added in order to match all offers on the original order.

      Please advise which resolution is preferred, as well as let us know how something like this will not happen again in the future. Thank you kindly for your time, we hope to hear from you soon.

      Regards,
      ***** ***

      In June of 2024 I purchased same day delivery multipack from BJ wholesale for $48.15 whilst on a family members card. Later that year (probably September), I went to the store and purchased a separate membership and was advised that the existing same day purchase can be transferred to my new membership. Ive been trying to get this transferred over to my membership as I no longer have access to the old membership with no luck. I have sent over 5 emails to customer service since the beginning of October with no resolution. If they cant transfer the package over then I would like a prorated credit for the unused portion of the multipack I purchased. They keep giving me the runaround and still have not done either of the two options I mentioned. Please help me as times are hard and its my money not theirs.

      Hello,I received an advertisement to apply for a Bj's credit card. With that I would receive $60 in rewards for used in store. I had to apply (by 11/30/24), be approved, and make a purchase outside of Bj's within 60 days. All in which I did. Upon speaking with corporate office they state that promotion is for new members only. No where on these documents does it state that. It had all these other stipulations, but for new members only is not indicated. The agent on the phone followed up with his manager and his hands were tied. It is false advertisement and I feel I should received the reward.

      On December 5, 2024 I went shopping at BJ's Wholesale Club located at the ***************************************** location. I had noticed that people that was leaving was only getting one or two items checked off by the "receipt check" employee that stands by the door. So when I got done shopping and went to show the "door employee" my receipt he preceded to check almost every single thing in my cart and I had a lot of items. There was other people that was waiting behind me and they barely got their items checked. The guy held me up and barely glanced at their items while holding me there to go through every item. I felt like I was racially profiled because, other customers didn't have to get every single item in there basket checked like I was subjected to. If other customers seen this they would feel the same way. I put my groceries in the car and went back into the store to ask the manager their protocols for checking items. The manager name was ******* ******* and she informed me that she couldn't discuss that information. She would only review camera footage. There was no other explanation and I felt dissatisfied as a customer and dont' wish to shop there again because of this experience. I really felt like I was racially profiled.

      Hello - In late June I had my tires replaced at BJs Wholesale Club in ********, **. I initially paid ~$1,100 and was refunded later ~$300 as the promotion I booked with was not applied at checkout. This was resolved satisfactorily, but wanted to include for transparency. What I did not notice until I returned from a vacation and washed my vehicle was tremendous damage to all 4 of my rims (pictures included below). I tried to resolve this directly with BJs, but after a month of no action, they referred me over to ********* to settle the claim. Sedgewick similarly delayed for more months, only to tell me there was no equipment in the BJs shop that could cause the damage. I explained that the only place that did any work on all 4 of the tires in the last several years was BJs. The damage is consistent on all 4rims and could not have been cause by anything else. BJs is the only place all 4 of my tires could have been damaged in that manner. Further, I did some research to understand the equipment in a tire shop and the damage it can cause which is absolutely consistent with what I mailed over. In fact, if you ****** "rim damage from tire machine" and select pictures, you will see exactly the type of damage BJs caused to my rims. No other rationale was provided for the denial. I asked that the claim be escalated and was denied. I went back to BJs and they just referred me back to *********. I have asked both BJs and Sedgewick multiple times to escalate my claim to a supervisor to no avail, and now I am being altogether ignored. I am asking that BJs pay to have my rims repaired. My BJ's claim is MACC0602024151. The original order # was 233251445.Please see pictures of the damage. I had to reduced the fidelity due to the size limitations for uploads, but happy to provide originals if needed.

      The response did not suggest any action as far as I can tell.  I have reached out to BJs and Sedgwick ~50 times already (with utmost patience and courtesy).  A fair number of those outreaches were ignored altogether, and, as stated, I have been unable to escalate my complaint to someone who will take action on it.  Please help me understand what will be different as a result of this.  Thank you.

      I was contacted by the same individual who had been unable to help me previously.  She offered a $50 BJs gift card which I do appreciate, but does not repair the damage caused.  I would still like BJs to have the damage repaired, so my rims looked like they did when they went in for service.  Thank you.

      I placed an online order on Nov 27th for new tires to be intstalled at this BJs location. Online order number: *********. When I placed the order I scheduled my tire installation for Saturday Nov 30th at 10:30am. On the morning of Nov 30th I received an email confirmation for my appointment that morning. When I showed up for the appointment I was told by the employee at the tire center that they don't have appointments on Saturdays. I was in shock as I was able to schedule on this day AND received an email confirmation literally hours before. I was also told that several employees recently quit and there is only one tire installer working there.I lost any faith in BJs installing my tires correctly, plus I was inconveninced with having to rescheduled to a later date. In addition this broke the "BJs 3-point tire promise" of ****************** I called BJs ************* that day on Nov 30th and requested to CANCEL my online order as I didn't receive the item that I paid for as promised. I have yet to receive an email confirmation of my cancellation or any information on when my full refund will be provided. I have attempted to contact BJs support multiple times but each time I'm told that the cancellation and refund is waiting on the "Club team".

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.
