4/29/25 online purchases for pick up were placed. Hold placed for ****** Total amount of purchase was ******. An additional charge for ****** was placed on 5/3/25 the ****** was not released, nor was the amount of purchase deducted. I was told the release had been requested but I had to wait an additional 3 days. Then on 5/6/25 a amount of ****** was attempted but I had locked my card so I cancelled the card because this seemed like fraud. I haven't been able to send or receive or make any online purchases with this account due to the negative balance.

We emailed the member and are waiting for a response to help resolve the issue. We need to know what type of order was placed. If it was an *** order, the member should contact *** directly. If it wasnt, the member or non-member will need to dispute the charge with their bank.
I understand your frustration. Please know that *** has a dedicated fraud department that will thoroughly investigate the issue. BJs always cooperates fully with state and local authorities to ensure these matters are handled properly.
The USDAs Food and ***************** instructs that all concerns about possible fraud be reported to the applicable state agency. If you do not have the contact information for your state agency, the ************************ Service website includes a state contact directory.

April 23, 2025 bought online a ******* 65 QN85DD ***************** from BJs ******** ***************************************** Original price was $1299 it went on sale for $597.98 they charged $78.00 for tax. When I went to customer service to find out why I was charged so much tax, they said BJs tax is rated for the original price of $1299 not the sale price of $597.98. It should be $35.87 tax for the $597.98. I talked to 2 different people and they said BJs always charges tax on the original prices of everything in the store even if it is on sale. I have never noticed about there tax charges because I usually buy food items. They also had a offer for extra 9% in rewards if using BJs credit card but the rewards would be based on the sale price not the original prices of everything.Business Response

In ********, when a sale is vendor-funded, state law requires sales tax to be charged on the full sale price.

At 11:30 am today, I spoke to **** in the ****** BJs tire bay and recognized he was involved with the original issue concerning another dispute that was fixed though BBB and *** *****, who represented Bjs perfectly.Could the prior complaint be why I was treated so.?Instead of immediately taking my information today, and looking to recall and gather relevant documents to pay us back for damage done while installing tires, (A check should have been sent) **** instantly took to blaming and questioning my actions in this situation. It was sickening.BJs *************** broke parts on a vehicle, BJs agreed to reimburse the expense. The repair was done at *********. **** should have kept his thoughts to himself to attempt to assist me and follow through to payment. He refused to give his name for my records. Then, I called the front store CSR and asked his name and then if the store manager was available. *******, the store manager, refused to speak to me and told the *** representative to reply back to me, if its what he thinks it is, he said you will have to call corporate. Deliberately consuming my time, instead of their paid time to be compensated. It appears BJs Albany is run this way!It is rude, dismissive, and from past experience I believe this is exactly how customers are treated on a daily basis in this store. Corporate should care as ****** will be gorgeous and is being built in prime real estate at ***************. BJs ****** and ********* will lose 50% of members renewing after 4 months. **************** matters. Keeping word without causing a greater inconvenience matters!This ordeal should never be work for the customer. Original receipt, notation, and repair bill should have been the end of consuming my time!There is additional information I will be adding later.I am eager to find out if corporate immediately issues my family a check for $214.89 with the receipt!Business Response

Hi,
Three photos of the broken parts, which I took with me from the BJs tire bay upon key pickup, instead of letting them be discarded, were sent directly to *** ***** in the BJs **************** email earlier. Please locate them as uploading photos on bbb freezes this submission. A copy of the invoice from immediate repair from ********* was also sent in that email. A check should be mailed to us. There shouldnt be a delay or added requirements.
There is not a question of the broken parts from BJs tire bay, and where the responsibility for the cost to repair lies. We were told to have the vehicle repaired and we would be repaid. The hastle and disrespect is a major issue.
When speaking to an at-fault business, the customer shouldnt be inconvenienced by a loss causing more work for no valid reason and should not be dismissed, treated, or quizzed in a manner to try to make it seem as though the customer is an/the issue for ANY reason. Or, that BJs is looking for an OUT. Refusing to give a name during a phone call - for my call record, the store manager dismissing my call, is a failure. Consuming more of my unpaid time, while he is being paid to manage , and telling a *** to pass on a message for me to pretty ******* find someone to talk to in corporate BJs for compensation. This feels like an attempt to NOT PAY for damages and to wear me out. This ordeal was an extreme inconvenience, cost us so much time in inconvenience, and still is!
My best,******

The member filed a complaint with the BBB on 5/6/25. BJs responded the same day via email (see attached), left a voicemail on 5/7/25 (see attached), another voicemail on 5/8/25 (see attached), and emailed the member again on 5/9/25 (see attached). We received a reply from the member via email on 5/11/25 (see attached), and we called again on 5/12/25, leaving a voicemail requesting a call back (see attached).
The member is now requesting a check for $214.89 for damages related to a previous complaint filed on 12/17/23. At that time, we agreed to pay the amount and asked the member to visit the club with the receipt to receive payment. We did not hear back from the member until this recent complaint on 5/6/25.
We need to speak with the member to understand why they waited so long and never visited the club in 2023 with the receipt. The receipt submitted with the current BBB complaint clearly shows a date of 11/17/2023.
Weve attached the 2023 BBB response form from the BBB.Please note, the club does not have the ability to issue checks, but we are more than happy to pay the member from the clubs ***** cash.

Hi,
Bjs shouldnt question our personal lives or free time during business hours for a repair compensation. There was never a discussion about timing prior to me calling to let tire bay know my husband would be going in for the refund when the representative refused to give a name and ******* passed me off to corporate. Regardless, we dont shop in the local store. I, personally was inside the store, specific to this (and not to shop), and was told I would need to come in when the manager is here. I feel there is an attempt to draw attention away from the damage done to our car without a sorry to greatly inconvenience you. My husband will go in to local BJs to be refunded once this will not be a hassle and waste of time for him. And, it shouldnt rely an ******* being there. Please let me know when the club is notified to reimburse this.
Regards,******

So, I was accused with larceny, separated from the job and pressed charges against because my manager asked me to do payouts for her meals through a payout account, I asked her if a manager approved it, she said that she's the manager on duty and she can approve it. Though she has the authority to approve it because she's a member of the leadership, I was accused of theft and larceny, and Bj's pressed charges against me. I am a 20 years old, and it is not even my fault. I might not be able to find another job and/or go to jail for something I didn't know it was a theft. Although I told my managers who decided to fire me that I didn't know that was theft, and that I am ready to apologize (which I did) and pay all I owe them and even more from my personal account, they still fired me and pressed charges against me.Business Response

I ordered a pair of Apple AirPod Pros 2 online from BJs wholesale club and when we received the package the manufacturer box was inside but had been opened and the AirPods and the case were missing. Only the charging cable was in the box. I reached out to BJs twice by email and twice by phone to try to get replacement or refund and they directed me to dispute with my bank. This didnt seem correct but I did file a dispute with my bank because I need to get my money back or a replacement. My bank said they will not issue me a credit because I did make the purchase and they do not cover non receipt of merchandise. They only credit account holders for fraudulent purchases. So now I have no AirPods and I am out $181.89.I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thank you **** ******Business Response

I did file a dispute with my bank and have provided their written response in a new attachment.
I did not receive the item I paid for. The outside package was intact when the package was received but the internal (Apple) box had the seals broken and the AirPods and case were missing. They may have been stolen by a BJs employee or a ***** employee but either way I paid $181.89 and have nothing to show for it.

On April 19, 2025, I ordered merchandise online from BJ's (Order#*********). The carrier for this order was **** and on April 23, 2025, I received an email from *** that my order had been delivered, and that "No Proof of Delivery" was provided as the sent email was my notification!!! I promptly contacted BJ's about this on 4/23/25, and spoke with a supervisor *****, who provided me with a Ticket #*******, and told me to call BJ's back on Friday, 4/25/25, if the order still had not arrived. I called BJ's back on 4/25/25, and spoke to a supervisor *****, who informed me that I would NOW!! have to wait another 3-5 days for BJ's ******************* to contact *** about my missing order, verify that it was in fact LOST!!, and then finally issue a credit back to my method of payment. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! I have been a BJ's member since 2001 (Member # ***-4-6509-117) and this would be about the 5th or 6th time I have had to go through this "Lost Merchandise Ordeal" with BJ's, and I am tired of it!!! It seems as though that I am being penalized for BJ's carriers' negligence and incompetence, furthermore I explained to BJ's that I wanted the merchandise that I ordered, NOT!! a credit to my account, and that ********************** should respectfully ship a NEW ORDER!!! via ***** Next Day, at their expense, for the inconvenience I have had to endure SIX TIMES by them!!! Upon me receiving the merchandise from my LOST!! order, I WILL PROMPTLY CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP WITH BJ'S!!!!Business Response

Back in 2019, my employer merged and we needed to change our "corporate" memberships to the new company name ****************. BJ wholesale had been charging my checking account for a membership renewal since then with no notification or signed agreement from me. I caught the charge from 4-17.2025 and contacted the club and they cancelled and filled for a current refund. They told me that they will not refund pay fees and I should have received notification of the charges which I did not.Business Response
