  1. [R2] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Sams: Good app is Exelent
  2. [R5] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Made Easy: Thanks Sam’s Club for having a good website/secure ordering! 🤠
  3. [R7] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Back to useless: Way too glitchy always logged you out improves in one area and fails in others. Keep saying that I need to remove an item, but it doesn’t tell you what item needs to be removed.
  4. [R11] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Greatest Move By Sam's Ever: Scan and Go as well as curbside pickup are the greatest thing Sam's has ever done! Efficient, Convenient and for customers who buy a lot frequently such an Economical time saver! Thank You! Well Done!
  5. [R1] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 2/5 · US Delivery: It wouldn’t let me select delivery! I was trying to get my order delivered not pick up now. I am forced to find a ride to go and pick up the order even though I wanted a delivery.
  6. [R3] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Reasonable to good pricing, shipping/delivered concerns: Rating generously expresses delivery of purchases. Fairly consistently orders with multiple items arrive with multiple items missing. Our porch has a small overhang where other deliveries place my orders, but Sam’s delivery has yet to place a delivery under the overhang-choosing to place the non boxed or protected items on the furtherest out
  7. [R6] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Delivery and shipping: If you don’t have the item available in store and only have it available for shipping, you should not have a minimum for shipping and delivery. You should just have a minimum total for the order not 50 and 50. Also your mixes you have for ice sparkling water are not good. They always add one bad flavor in them.
  8. [R9] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Items in store: Items in store saying shipping when trying to add to cart
  9. [R10] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Never in stock!!: I constantly place orders for various items that show in stock but they are never able to be shipped. They are available to choose for shipping and yet 7 of the items I chose say unavailable for shipping. Why doesn’t Sam’s club have a more up to date ordering system so that you don’t have the option to sit and look at items that aren’t even available. It is very frustrating.
  10. [R18] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Out of stock: Too often items are out of stock.
  11. [R22] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Out of stock items: Same everytime
  12. [R4] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Fraud: Won’t let you check out using your EBT.
  13. [R15] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Payment Method: It would not allow me to add my desired payment method
  14. [R16] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Trash: It’s very laggy and the checkout system is broken
  15. [R21] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Loyal customer: Loved the app but had difficulty with the checkout; which never happens at the Sam’s store.
  16. [R14] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Dispenser hand soap: It should be sold in the store not just online
  17. [R17] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Cupcake Order: Kate in the bakery helped me with my custom cupcake order. Super friendly! Very nice! The App was quick and easy to use!
  18. [R23] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Love scan and go.: In and out. No waiting at checkout line
  19. [R12] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Prices: Prices are to high but the membership is going up
  20. [R20] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Happy Member: I’m so glad to be a club member, I finally get to take advantage of the free delivery service. Now that I’m not able to go shopping in person, this service has come in handy and so convenient. Thank you
  21. [R29] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Expanded Delivery Area!!: Ecstatic that Sams extended their delivery area! Sam’s exceptional products, and pricing delivered to my door. Can’t beat that! I order a delivery from there at least three times a month now!
  22. [R13] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Incompetent drivers: They attempted to make a delivery twice first time couldn’t find the address second time delivered to the wrong house way to go Sam’s Club!!!!
  23. [R26] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Awesome!!!!: Love the convenience of getting my groceries delivered 😍 a game changer for a busy person
  24. [R59] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Inventory not accurate: Items marked available may be sold out and you won’t know until checkout
  25. [R66] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Needs some improvements: Updated review. I either shop in store or do pick up orders. The problem with pick up orders is that inventory usually never aligns with current inventory. For example, I buy 6 cases of water, 10 of the same dog food, and 5 packages of fruits. All are in stock via the app. But the order either gets cancelled or heavily modified due to a supposed “out of stock” issues. T
  26. [R25] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Be more specific: Ordered a cake for my grandson bday, you promote it’s ebt eligible, but would not let me check out. I did it multiple times to no avail.
  27. [R51] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US No se puede pagar con ebt: No puedo pagar ebt ay que ir ala tienda si uno kiere pagar ebt por eso no me gusta tanto
  28. [R32] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Handy: Easy! Accurate! Time saver!
  29. [R64] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Horrible: Every time they mess with this app to make it "more efficient" all they do is make 10xs slower! Now it won't even load.
