  On May 10th 2025 my fianc and I went to Kohls in ****** ME to do some shopping. It was raining and we were trying to park when a pothole swallowed the left side of the vehicle linking it to the right. We managed to find a spot only to find our front driver side tire blown from the pothole and all the inside wheelhouse scratched. We went inside and spoke with Assistant Manager ******** who told us she had submitted the request for repair 3 times over the past 9 months and nothing was done. She apologized and filled an incident report and were told we would be contacted by their adjuster. I called the Bangor PD and filled an incident report and a tow truck as the vehicle was not drivable. We waited for about 3 days then called my insurance to get the car fixed as Kohls was not responding. Finally on may 14 I am able to obtain the incident id number and the name of the adjuster but jk means of contacting them. I submitted all that to my insurance but heard nothing further. On May15 or 16 we got a call from the Kohls adjuster to find out what had happened. She said we will get a call back and have yet to hear back. I have emailed both the *** of stores, the CEO and the adjuster and have heard nothing from them. My vehicle was damaged and they are not even trying to resolve this or communicate it. I had to go through my insurance and now I am out money because of their negligence.

  Kohls department store is guilty of unfair and deceptive acts and practices in the Kohls cash program. They have limited the use of Kohls cash to such a degree (while likewise heavily promoting it as a prominent marketing and advertising tool) that reasonable people are being taken advantage of and suffering loss. I recently earned $60 in Kohls cash through a significant purchase. That $60 was not available to use for 8 days, and then was only good for 6 days. That delayed window of time has shrunk from what it used to be, and is not reasonable. I was not able to visit a Kohls during that brief 6 day window (5/12/25 - 5/18/25), and just visited a store to use it. Until recently, Kohls offered a 10 calendar day ***** ******* which would have given me until tomorrow to redeem my rightful benefit. However, without notice, Kohls has apparent changed their policy and revoked the ***** period entirely. As a result, consumers must wait a longer time period to use their Kohls cash than the time period granted for its use. There is no ***** period for people who travel, are sick, or for age or disability are unable to meet their strict, narrow, and outrageously limiting parameters. All while touting the feature as a big benefit to the consumers they are milking. It is a UDAP both unfair and deceptive. I want the $60 benefit I was promised.

  I contacted the companys customer service to discuss canceling or returning an order before it shipped. During the call, I repeatedly requested to speak with a U.S.-based customer service representative, as well as a manager. Each time, my requests were denied.Throughout the interaction, the representative became increasingly unprofessional. I was called an a****** and labeled as rude, despite remaining focused on resolving my issue. This behavior was unacceptable and completely inappropriate for any customer service ********** filing this complaint to report the unprofessional conduct I experienced and to request accountability and improved customer support standards. I would appreciate a formal apology and assurance that appropriate action will be taken.

  Our goal is to provide the highest level of quality service to all of our customers. Were sorry to learn the service our customer received did not meet our mutual expectations.Please note that the majority of our calls are answered by ****** associates.However, on occasion, we rely on vendor partners to provide additional customer support to guarantee timely responses to all of our customers. If a customer would like to speak to a US associate, the call should be transferred accordingly. We regret any frustration this caused. We are in the process of reviewing call records and applicable feedback will be provided. .

  I shop regularly at ****** and when I did a return on 5/20/25, the receipt unexpectedly showed a warning that future returns may or may not be denied. I contacted TRE on 5/22/25 and was told I cannot return anything to ****** for 180 days. I had one online order remaining, which I needed to return, so I contacted ****** customer service on 5/25/25 (spoke to Neco) and was told I could return the items to the store without any issues. I went to the store on 5/26/25 and the receipt shows my return was denied.I am writing to complain about ****** return policy. ************************** has an ambiguous statement, in the Returns Exceptions section, that returns are subject to third-party verification. However, the return policy does not state the terms and conditions that may trigger the refusal of a refund or return. This is deceptive to customers because they don't know what the purchase return guidelines are (see example of Bath and Body Works and their return guidelines (***************************************************************************************************************************).Background: I had multiple returns in May, 2025, for the same size/model of *** jeans because the quality of the jeans was so poor it took numerous orders to find one pair that had the same leg length, no bulging/uneven seams, and didnt have a gaping waistband. Kohls has a very, very tiny section of Plus clothing in the ********************************* so I'm forced to order items online to try and find clothing that fits. The returns on 5/20/2025 were for various sizes of black pants and were ordered online for that very reason. There is no stock in the store and I dont know what size will fit me (I was trying to find black pants for upcoming jury duty). None of the recent transactions I made are fraudulent. They are legitimate transactions where Im trying to find quality clothing that fits. All of the items returned were unworn with tags on them and they were returned within a few days of receiving them.

  We apologize for our customer's experience. Please note that our website (******************************) states the following; Returns may be subject to a third-party verification process and system approval. Your ID information and return transaction history may be collected and entered into our processors system where permitted by law. We reserve the right to limit or refuse any refund. 

  
  Currently, we have paused the third party verification process and the customer may continue to proceed with making returns.

  My complaint is related to their app and difficulty obtaining customer service relevant to my problem.I submitted an order through the app and somehow it updated my address to an old location where I hadnt lived for almost 6 years. I immediately contacted the company through their app, chat feature, within minutes, and was told there was nothing they could do. And knowing they were shipping it to the wrong address, they continued with the order and charged my credit card. They gave me absolutely no option to cancel the order or to divert it, even though I contacted them immediately after placing the order. They make it impossible to contact a live person, and they charge my card for an order they know I am not going to receive, their app didnt even offer a review process after the order is finalized. It has been the most frustrating ridiculous non-user-friendly system I have ever dealt with and has cured me from ever using or even shopping there again.

  I placed my order on the 18th at 10:12 pm. Promotion for Kohls Cash ends on the 18th. **************** says it had to be central time so my order was on the 19th by 12 minutes. They didn't care. Would not give me my kohls cash of ***** which I clearly earned. My email says the 18th. I feel cheated!! To appease me they gave me *****. If they could approve ***** then why not 20:00? They need to make sure all orders go by their own respective time zones. This is ridiculous! I have never had issues ordering on other websites and if I do the customer service is usually accommodating given the circumstances of the issue. This needs to be made clear! While ordering I kept getting prompts to how much more I should spend to get to the next level of Kolhls cash. Before submitting payment info It told me I earned $20 Kohls cash. There were no warnings about the time it was or minutes left...I proceeded to pay and thought it was all good. Until I looked for my Kohls cash to spend and it was not there. **************** was not helpful or very friendly. I spoke to a supervisor who was worse! She would not transfer me higher up. She said we all share the same policy information, or something like that. Kohls could do better. I lost my trust in them and their customer service.

  I ordered a cologne sample pack that should have contained a voucher for a full-size cologne of choice for my son around the holidays. He has been away at undergrad and just completed his second year of study. The voucher was not in the sample bag upon my son returning from undergrad and opening his gift. After several hours of various forms of communication between ******, the business from which I purchased the product, and ******* (as it's their cologne pack distributed by ******) and BOTH companies trying to tell me the other should be responsible for the missing voucher, ****** flatly refused to offer any remedy whatsoever to the missing value of the product. No one would purchase a sample pack for $80.00 (plus tax) without the voucher. I have been a customer for over thirty years. After messaging for hours with their Chat system online and speaking with the phone team at length with being given a runaround and being placed on hold for an hour for a supervisor that never connected to the line and simply disconnected me after all that waiting time, this is a ridiculous failure to handle a mistake on their part.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 05/29/2025

  We apologize for our Customer's disappointment.  Our Executive Team contacted the customer via voicemail message encouraging the customer to place the order for the $80 fragrance that the Voucher would have covered and call back with the Order Number to have the order refunded. We will resolve with the customer upon her response.

  5/22/25 ************ Location. Items in the Intimate Apparel department had signage that clearly stated in bright bold red letters that the items were buy one get one 1/2 off. After attempting to ring up they were not showing the discount. The clerks spoke with manager who met me and my 80 year old mother at the area in which the sign clearly indicated the items were marked as I said. The manager indicated that it was common practice for the sign because the sign was two sided and actually only the other side of the display was on sale. She said that the tiny black box indicates the price although above it stated the sale. This is deception. Im not going to do business with a company that has false advertising. Even the manager admitted it was a little deceptive but still did not offer the discount. Bye-Bye. I can buy my mothers intimates elsewhere. Shame on you Kohls for deceiving an 80 year old lady ( and her daughter). Sorry but if you have a big sign with sale on it thats what we see.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 05/27/2025

  We regret our customers disappointment. Signing accuracy is very important to us and every effort is made to ensure all signs are correctly placed. The complaint states the store manager confirmed the pricing of the item with the customer. Please know that we have shared the customers feedback with ********************** administration.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and there is more to add to my complaint because I actually made a purchase on this trip of two sample size mascaras ***** each. Upon opening the boxes the next morning to use and one mascara was missing from the box. Already being frustrated with Kohls in general I decided to call them first to explain what had happened with my purchase. I was hung up on 4 times. This is ridiculous. Ive just made the decision to cut my losses. I dont need the frustration dealing with incompetence. As for the signage for sale items, you should be more careful about posting signs above things that are not on sale. And your loss prevention team isnt doing their jobs either. Some one should check all boxes in ******* to make sure it doesnt happen to some other customers. And for those who are answering the phones thereget your phone fixed and learn how to get a manager on the phone! Quit hanging up on customers and maybe you wont lose them!
