I went to place an online order with bjs and went to check out with my EBT card and noticed it was making me pay the tax out of pocket. I looked up online and it said that it is illegal to charge tax on *** purchases.Business Response

On September 16th, 2025, I made two orders from BJ's. DoorDash delivered one order to my home, but I was told that BJ's would not release the second order for $1038.61 to them. I called the warehouse and spoke to Jacori, who brought ******, the warehouse supervisor, to the line. I was promised that I would be refunded by the next day. At the warehouse, I spoke to many liars, cheaters, and deceivers, such as *********, who spoke to her manager, ******, who was the assistant warehouse manager but is no longer there, et al., along with customer service. I even called the corporate office and spoke to ***, who was mean, indifferent, and unkind. He told me to leave a message for the escalations team, who never got back to me. I have also spent several hours trying to resolve this corporate theft, and I want to be compensated for the loss of my time, health, and peace. After months of trying to get the warehouse employees to be ethical and send my money to me to no avail, I finally called the company's customer service number again and was promised an immediate refund that never came. Later, a manager emailed a refund label to me for some damaged ********* She explained that the membership cost, 2 Pull-up boxes, a delivery discount, and some Blue Cheese salad dressing were shipped to us, but the rest of the money would be credited to me, but it never was. I called yet again, and the company lied, stating that Door Dash delivered the entire order. The lies, defamation, and slander are ongoing. I even called ****************, but we trusted BJs, and the time to dispute ran out. Thus, **************** referred me to an arbitrator. However, I put the arbitrators off in an attempt to settle this matter outside of a court setting, if possible.Business Response

I had a set of tires installed at BJ's 11/26/2024 for ******. After the install the **** indicator came on and I have returned 8 times to have this fixed. I went there with no **** issues and have had them consistently since the install. All the indicators have been replaced by BJ's and it is still an issue. I received an email on Monday from ****** the tire manager at store 113 in ******** who said I need to go to a dealer for the fix. I do not want to pay a dealer for the fix myself. I think BJ's should fix this issue.Business Response

I am filing a formal complaint against BJs Wholesale due to a fraudulent transaction that was processed using my EBT card without my authorization. An online order totaling $800.18 was placed using stolen identity/information, and BJs Wholesale allowed this transaction to be completed.Upon further research, I discovered that this company has permitted over 20 similar fraudulent transactions, leaving many families without the essential food they rely on. Whats most concerning is that victims of these fraudulent transactions, including myself, are located in states such as *******, ****, *******, and Tennesseefar from the BJs Wholesale location in ************* where these transactions were processed. This strongly suggests a pattern of identity theft and inadequate security measures on the companys part.Adding to the urgency of this issue, the SNAP Fraud Reimbursement Program has ended, meaning there is no longer a government safety net for victims of *** fraud. This places the responsibility directly on BJs Wholesale to do the right thing and take accountability for allowing these fraudulent transactions to ******** is both unethical and unacceptable for BJs Wholesale to continue processing unauthorized transactions, especially when it impacts vulnerable families. I demand a full refund for the fraudulent transaction and will continue to report this issue until proper compensation is provided or government action is taken to suspend EBT transactions with this company to prevent further harm.I expect an immediate resolution to this matter and look forward to a prompt response.Business Response

I have NEVER been a BJs member but I did go w/my sister several times. She canceled her membership. They automatically without my consent charged me $60 for a membership I dont have and I found out it is a recurring fee that was NEVER authorized by me. This has also happened in the past when I let a friend w/membership use my card. They automatically without permission charged me AND she was paying her member fee also!! Plus I was never notified or given an actual membership. I have heard from others with the same experiences. This can not be legal to charge ppl unauthorized memberships especially to *** that have never had a membership in their own name!!Business Response

I do NOT understand how BJs has reached out me. I have received NO voice,text, or phone messages from them on any of the stated dates or at any other times. I would like for them to provide my signed membership paperwork. I know that they will be unable to provide this since I have never been a member.Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints.

Received an alert from bank on 3/1/25 around 4 am about a potential fraudulent charge on my credit card. Upon reviewing the alert, it was a charge from BJS for $60 to renew my membership. I did not authorize this transaction nor did i request auto-renewal on my membership (as a matter of fact i had a conversation with BJS in the past to not renew my membership without my consent). Typically, i will renew my membership during a checkout at the register a week or so before it expires. Current membership expires at the end of March 2025.I need BJS to stop this activity and respect their customer and to revert the charge on my credit card. I do plan to renew the membership at my own time and choosing.Business Response

BJs wholesale allowed a member to use my card number for an online purchase for $800.18. I live many states away from this warehouse, and Im very disappointed that the company would allow this to happen. Please refund the transaction amount. This is absolutely insane.Business Response

I can report the fraud to ****; however, the deadline for replacing stolen SNAP benefits has ended. As of January 20, **** will not be able to reimburse customers for benefits lost due to skimming, cloning, and similar fraud.

I've paid for a membership with BJs and for the past 3 weeks, I've yet been able to place an order that was not canceled. I've chatted, called, and escalated this issue many times, and was told to wait ***** hours and that it will be resolved. I've verified myself, called my bank and made sure nothing is wrong on that front, and yet there has been no resolution. My wife's account that is linked to my membership is also affected with no reason given to why no online order allowed. This is unacceptable that i can't use service that i paid for. I wish for them to clear my and my wife's account so we are able to order online.Business Response

The member was informed about why their order was not going through. Upon request, a refund was issued.
Your orders go through a system that evaluates multiple attributes. While we can't see the specific attribute triggering the cancellation, we can confirm that the order isnt being processed due to this system check. Automated safeguards are in place to cancel flagged orders, but unfortunately, we are unable to pinpoint the exact reason or override the system.
We recommend trying to place your order from a different device or shopping in-club. If you prefer, we are also happy to offer a membership refund should you choose to cancel.Initial Complaint

On January 12, 2025 I submitted an online pick up in store order at BJs in ******* ************* and I purchased a box of size 2 pampers diapers for my daughter. I did not open the box until it was the end of February since my daughter did not fit in them yet.When I open the box, I saw that there were four packages of a brand called cuties that I have never heard of and another package called baby and baby that was opened and there was half a bag of pampers that were opened. All the diapers were different sizes.I went to BJs that morning, so I could exchange them for a box of diapers and was told I could not return them since theywere all different brands and it had almost been 60 days since the purchase. I emailed BJs customer service that day and have not had a response either. They told me that when they take merchandise back, they look at it, but this box had been perfectly taped up, so I dont think someoneactually looked at it. Otherwise it wouldnt have been on the shelves.Business Response
