The store is BJ's Wholesale Club at ******************** in ***************, **. The other day, January 15, I bought a printer. After 3 days, the price went down $35. So, I went to the store and asked for a price adjustment with my receipt. I was told I needed the physical item, which was in my car. I brought it back to the store, and to my surprise, the employee I had seen before called the manager. His name was *******. Now, they both assumed that I stole a printer from inside the store and tried to return it even though I showed the receipt. i tried to call corporate office without any call back from anyoneBusiness response

Reasons for my complaint: **** laptop was unable to turn on just from using it with care for less than 6 months 2.Misleading advertisement of *** information 3.Warranty information falsely advertised 4.Lack of Transparency 5.Deceptive Business Practices **** laptop was unable to turn on just from using it with care for less than 6 months Based on industry data, experiencing significant problems with a laptop within the first six months of ownership is uncommon. Factors like manufacturing defects, component failures, and brand reliability can influence these rates. Less than 10% of laptops experiencing major issues within the first six months. The caps lock key indicated 3 long blinking lights and 2 short blinking lights. Technicians mentioned it was a *** issue. This is an internal issue and I did not act irresponsibly towards the device. Technicians said that the *** for this computer may not be replaceable or upgradable. After speaking to a ** representative, it was finally turned on. 2.Misleading advertisement of *** information The advertisement did not specifically state the *** was attached the computer board. It simply states 8 ***. This violates New York General Business Law 349. New York General Business Law ******************************************** the conduct of any business, trade, or commerce within the state. 3.Warranty information falsely advertised A PDF document states there is 1 year warranty hardware and technical support, but that was not the case. ** actually wanted me to pay for fixing the device. Again, this violates New York General Business Law 349. 4.Lack of Transparency After my device was turned on, I asked the ** representative what happened. She said she does not know. 5.Deceptive Business Practices After all this, ** mentioned I can purchase a coverage plan for a certain price. I told them when devices are handled with care, there should not be a problem like this so early.Business response

If a non-member mentions a transaction on their card, ask them to clarify the type of card (EBT, credit, debit, etc.). If it is related to *** fraud, inform them they must file a report with the appropriate authorities or their local EBT office.

That is for individuals who are receiving benefits suspected of fraud or businesses fraudulently stealing benefits. If you are telling me the business you work for (Bjs wholesale) are intentionally taking government benefits then I can report that too. Can you confirm?

On 1/13/25, I purchased a TV from BJs online, which included shipping. After five days, there was no delivery and no tracking of the location of the TV, so I asked for a refund of $686.08. Rather than granting a refund, BJs processed the request as a "Return" and now will not refund the money until they get the TV back (which I never received). Their third-party shipping company has marked the transaction as "delivered", but no one knows what has happened and now I have no TV and no refund. I am asking for assistance to receive my refund immediately.Business response

I placed on order for pick up on 12/7/24. I received confirmation that my order was ready so I waited in my car for over 30 minutes. No one came with my groceries so I left. I then receive a phone call from an employee asking where I was because he was outside with my groceries. I told him I had to leave so I was no longer there. He said ok. I then received an email thanking me for picking up my groceries. I then text the employee that called me and tell him I received an email that my order was picked up. He texted me back and said I assure u it was not. just keep your order number in tact for now which I did. This is insane that I am being charged for an order I did not pick up!!!!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!! Ive called the store several times on 12/7/24 and today. No one EVER answers the phone!!Business response

We booked a cruise using BJs travel on 1/17/2025, booking number 6-45477160. There were several advertised BJs exclusives, including a $100 on board credit. Only after we booked did we realize we did not receive the credit. We immediately called, and the agent advised we did qualify but she was unable to process the credit and would resolve the issue with the promo team. On 1/22/25 we were notified that because we received a discount by being a NYS resident, we could not receive the on board credit. As of this writing, we have not been able to obtain any outward facing information that reiterates this explanation. In fact, the resident discount is from the cruise line, Norwegian, and is in no way related to the on board credit which is a BJs exclusive. I have screen shots of BJs website pertaining to both the perks and the on board credit. There are no listed exclusions for combing a resident discount with an on board credit.Business response

We are working with the member on a resolution. Our ***************** has confirmed that the refund went through; however, *** is telling the member they have not received it. Since *** is a federal/state-run program, they are not required to inform BJs if the credit was processed. We will continue to work with the member on this matter.
