  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. [R8] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Gracias: Todo excelente
  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. [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!

  10. [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.

  14. [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
  15. [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!
