      On October 31, 2022, I placed an order for 2x Lego sets, and they were promptly shipped within a few days. About ten days go by when I notice I haven't received any update on the shipment of my order. I was given two *** tracking numbers, and when I check them I notice that the status is "The package is undeliverable and is in the process of being disposed of according to the local guidelines." Both packages were marked as unable to delivered and I never ended up receiving them.I contacted Kohls about this and was told that I'd be refunded within 7 business days. After 10 more days, I contacted Kohls again and was told the same thing, that the refund was processed and that I should contact my bank for further instruction.It has now been over a month and I still have not been refunded for an order that was never delivered to me. I reached out to *** who confirmed that the package was undeliverable, and that I needed to contact the merchant for further instruction.I would like to be refunded in full $1823.23 for my order. Order Number: ********** Tracking numbers: 1Z4E2R020326033234 / 1Z4E2R090325928507

      On December 11th, 2022, I placed an order on ****** website, order number **********. This was for "Orchard Hills Computer ************** It was shipped from third party, ****** with *** tracking 1Z52636E0394164056. *** did not deliver the goods because it was damaged during transit, and *** returned it to the sender, ******.I called ****** and they told me they were not able to help since this was ordered through ******. ****** said they would start the refund process once their warehouse receives the goods, but from my perspective, the goods was returned to ****** so it would never trigger the refund process at ******. I talked to multiple agents from ****** customer care, nobody seems to know what would happen in this situation involving a third party and I am very concerned I will lose my money, so I'm making a complaint with the hope that BBB helps me get my money back from ****** as I paid them for a desk and I am not getting any desk.

      Kohls located at **********************************************, has a 20% off sale on Sonoma Heritage quilts and pillow shams. I attempted to purchase one pillow shame and one quilt when I saw two separate prices on each item. The pillow sham had a Sonoma price sticker of $24, but a Kohls price sticker stuck over Sonomas price sticker indicated $29. In the queen size matching quilt, the Kohls price sticker was $94.99, but when peeling up this price sticker, I discovered a Sonoma price sticker of $79.99. I spoke to a customer service person in the **********************, and I was told yes, the Kohls price sticker is the price for the 20% discount on both items. I feel this is deceptive pricing to the customer, and this needs to be exposed.

      We received and have responded to the customer's rebuttal explaining what may have happened with the sticker pricing in the store. Prices can change daily with different promotions and the sticker may or may not have been removed or the sticker could have transferred from another item.  Regardless, as a courtesy we have emailed a $50 courtesy ****** Cash coupon to the customer as resolution.  We regret we disappointed our customer.

      I placed order ********** on 12/10/2022 for $610 and order ********** on 12/11/2022 for $76.68. Both of these orders were charged to my Kohls card. However, when I returned them to Kohls they charged back $65.23 to a master card ending in ****. This master card doesn't below to me. I didn't pay either order by master card. I tried to explain this to the lady at the return desk at Kohls and to a Wella P. I spoke to at Kohls.com both said I would be refunded based on how I paid. If I didn't pay by master card it doesn't help me if you refund to that card in lieu of my Kohls card. ***** P kept telling me she couldn't see (bring up on her screen) any information to help me. The girl at the Kohls store gave me back the return papers that came with the Jewelry. After I finally looked at the return papers, I noticed that one return order had someone else's name and order number 63142254_1 on it. I was sent someone else's return bracelet- instead of a new bracelet. More that anything else, I think this is what upsets me the most.

      I placed an order on Oct 30, 2022 for 2 pair of pajamas to be shipped to store for pick up, the amount was *****. The order split up by kohls online and shipped one pair of the pajamas $32.99 supposedly to my home delivered on Nov 3, 2022 but I never received the order. I picked up the one pair from kohls and returned at the store and received a credit. But I have not received my refund from kohls for the item I never received. I have been calling kohls customer service for over a month and nothing has been resolved all I get is I will get the credit but it will take 7 days it is now Dec 15, 2022 and my kohls account has not been credited.

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.
