      I purchased a patio heater that had a damaged part, and I wrote to BJs customer service to seek a replacement part. I initially emailed in March 12 and was asked for more information on March 15. I replied the same day and did not receive a response until March 19 again asking for more information that said they would send a replacement part. I replied on March 22. On March 24 I received an email telling me to return the item to the store. I was unable to do this both because I had Covid and because I discarded the original packaging because I thought I was being sent a replacement part. The store would not accept a return without the box, so I have an unusable patio heater. I wrote back asking for the part, and received a response that I should go to the store. This is unacceptable.

      Multiple occasions but the last one occurred on 4/1/2023. I went to self check out and scanned my bjs card to start scanning my items. An employee comes over to me and says this area is only for 20 items or less. I advise her I had less than 20 items. She looks down at my cart and says are you sure?. I said, yes, im sure. I counted. You do this to me every single time I come to self check out. I make sure I count them because of you. Another employee could tell that I was bothered by this other employee and told her shes fine, let her ring up her items. The entire time I checked out, she stood next to me and watched me. At the end she walks closer to me and says do you have a problem? She literally harasses me every time I go to self check out. I always have less than 20 items. It has been reported to management on multiple occasions and nothing has been done to fix the issue. This is a problem. I should not be harassed in a store I pay to be a member of. On one occasion I had a couple of cases of drinks, she came over and told me that the weights could not support the drinks and that I could not check out there. I advised her I was going to scan them all with the hand scanner and not use the weights. She still continues to stand there and watch me that time too.

      I booked 2rooms through booking.com for 7/29-7/31 at the ******************** Inn. We checked in at about 10:30 p.m. Once we got our key and went to the room, I went to shower my son an as soon as I turned the water on there was cockroaches scurrying around and a Palmetto bug flying around. I dressed my son and packed up. I went right away to speak with the lady at the front desk. I asked to speak to a supervisor but she told me that there was no supervisor there at that time and that she was getting ready to leave. I explained to her what happened and told her that we booked somewhere else because I cannot sleep in a place full of roaches and young kids. I felt like I was at the ***** Motel. She told me that I can hand over the keys. I asked her if she can provide me with some sort of documents saying that I have checked out and will not be using the rooms. She told me that there is nothing she can give me and that when the housekeeper cleans the room, they will report that no one was there. It just didnt sit right with me and I was adamant about her to provide documents that I will not be staying in the room and she continued to tell me that when I call booking to explain that booking will call them to confirm we did not stay in the room and then they will refund the money. By about 11:30 pm I called and booked two rooms at the Hilton. I have attached copies of the receipt showing that we stayed there. The next day I called booking and explain the situation and they told me they would get back to me in about 2-3 business days with an answer. Three days later they told me that they will not issue me a refund. After I received that email is when I called my BJs credit card company to dispute the charge. This has been going on for far too long. I am simply just asking for the money back from the ***** infested hotel that I couldnt and didnt stay in with 4 kids. This is still on going.

      My husband and I ordered an ***** for ****** plus tax from BJs wholesale online around February 6th, 2023. When we received the confirmation it had an incorrect delivery address. We called to change it and was told that there was no way to change the delivery address. So we cancelled the order, being told that once the ** was back from the warehouse our funds would be credited back to our account. This would take about **** days. Since the sale was still going on we decided to try and order the ** again making sure the address was correct around February 12th, 2023. Again, was told that the refund from the first order was still processing. When we received confirmation that ** was at warehouse but that our refund from first order still had not been completed I called to cancel the 2nd order. I received a VM from ****** at **** stating that this order was canceled as of February 20th, 2023 (voicemail left at 11:36 am). We have made several calls and given several case numbers from BJs stating give us 3-5 business days to resolve it. It has been weeks will still no refund on either **. Case Number originally was ******* and then *******. We keep getting told give us 3-5 business days, this is a process. I want my refund on both orders.

      On August 18, 2022 , I *****************, closed out the ** member card the Bronx's BJ store at ********************************* ** ***** issued me when I learned that it was a credit card and paid it in full. (You can see confirmation below) Then, on January 2023 they said that since I did not use it, they charged me $2. Since then, they have been charging $2 plus a late charge of $40, monthly. Now, they are asking me to pay over $145. In the attached document you can see that I have explained in writing, over and over again, that the account was closed on August 18, 2022, I have not used the card since I closed it. They just keep on harassing me, demanding payment they created.Secure ********************************** Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2022, 5:49 AM (ET)To: You Subject: Re: Account Status Message ID: ********* I'm with ********************** which handles your Mastercard account.

      I went to this location upon entering the door attendant told me my dog was not allowed. I have brought my dog on many occasions and never been stopped. She started yelling and getting hostile with me. I told her I had paperwork and she stated you should of said that. I was quiet and she was yelling. I asked for a manager which was worse. She ended up walking away after I requested her name. Finally a manager assisted me. He stated it was against their policy to even stop me.

      BJs charged my credit card $118.80on Jan 3rd, this is not a purchase I made. I've been trying to work with them since then to get this resolved, they can't tell me what the charge is for and haven't refunded my money. This is a fraudulent charge and in over 3 months they have done nothing to correct it.

      I ordered a mattress with white glove delivery online through BJs wholesale. The delivery process was unacceptable as well as BJs customer service. The delivery drivers ripped off my baby gate while moving the mattress. This removed 6+ inches of plaster from my wall and caused the baby gate on the stairs to be unusable. I immediately called BJs who said I would have a response in ***** hours. 3 days later I called again with the same response. This happened again over a week later calling a 3rd time. I also emailed twice, but have yet to hear a response. I have been trying for 4 weeks now and BJs keeps brushing me off and not giving me an answer. This affects my childs safety and I let that be known which they said they would prioritize, obviously not. We choose this company based off the delivery option. That was a mistake. While delivery mistakes happen, the lack of help from BJs is inexcusable. The delivery men also left a mess and scuffed up our walls/ceiling. I ended up fixing the wall myself due to not being able to wait any longer for a resolution as this was a large safety issue with not being able to block off the stairs and also the exposed metal mess. The delivery men told me something came loose. I did not inspect until after they left. I would have never signed the documents if so.
