- [R10] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Worst app ever: I like jewels but I detest this app. Coupons are a pain to find. Not very intuitive. It’s always causing issues. Please hire some compentent developers to run your app.
- [R1] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery App constantly crashing: The app has been horrible as of late. My feedback and complaints are always ignored. I order for pickup at least once a week and lately, I have had issues with every single order. I’m trying to change the information for the person picking up and it does not send the email as directed. Then it doesn’t give me the option to change the car. Very frustrating. I’m just going t
- [R3] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Not sure how it has 4.8 stars: A mix of bad WiFi in the store, deals that can only be had with the digital coupons and and missing items in the app can seriously erode the in-store shopping experience. Everyone’s walking around with their phones, blocking items to get it to actually work. I’m afraid it also adds to the digital divide. I can’t imagine how many shoppers can’t take advantage of the d
- [R9] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery WiFi: Love the app, but it never works when I’m in the store. Quality WiFi would be nice.
- [R22] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Produce: The 2 times I’ve ordered produce the products are literally rotten.
- [R30] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Online shopping experience: I love the convenience of shopping on the Jewel app. I do it often but lately I have been experiencing bad quality of product. We employees are shopping for customers they are picking out items that are rotten or going bad. They are not shopping like they would be for themselves. I normally don't complain about some of the issues but today took the cake Romaine lettuce
- [R31] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Poor inventory system: I’ve used the app a handful of times, and it never fails that when filtering items by “in stock” the items are not in stock. Today I was making an order of specific flavors of Gatorade and Monster, all items showed as in stock. I put the order in and it was getting shopped when Jewel called and said that they didn’t have any of my order in stock. It just seems crazy to me th
- [R34] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Unreliable: Maybe Jewel’s delivery service is better in other areas, but I consistently have issues with them. Lately, my order is almost always late. I’m still waiting for my delivery and it’s over an hour late. Customer service is awful as well. More than once, I’ve had an order literally never show up. I was told it would be delivered the next day, and the same thing will happen again. Never an
- [R24] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Chat feature: The chat feature only works if the shopper chats with you first and sometimes it freezes and doesn't work when your trying to respond it gets frustrating .. and some times the items in the sale paper(like fresh grilled chicken) is there but doesn't let you put in cart and buy it .. happens a bunch of times on items like salmon too.. that's frustrating
- [R43] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Appreciate your hard work: All the staff at the Stickney Jewel location have always been friendly, courteous, and very helpful every time. Many go out of their way to show you where items are or to see if there is stock in the back. New items are offered, while the same staples I use daily still remain. Meats and produce vegetables are always fresh. Couldn’t ask for a better store. And a special
- [R16] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Waist of time: In order to get discount have to look and click on each single coupon
- [R19] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Clipping digital coupons 👎: In order to get most deals at Jewel you now need to find that item in their app and clip a digital coupon. What year is this? Do the people on the business side of this decision actually shop for groceries themselves and experience this? This is such an awful turn of events that I stopped going to the Jewel that’s a 5 minute walk from my house :(
- [R14] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Clip it: I have trouble clipping in the store. I always clip from home, but sometimes I try in the store always needing to ask for help.
- [R21] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery App is difficult: I always use the app for deals but when using it in store it’s a nightmare you barely get signal there, laggy. Plus idk why the new update took away where the isles are, to find items now I have to break my head to find each thing. Coupons are amazing I love it. Just the app needs some major fixes. Other than that good.
- [R87] Safeway Deals & Delivery Food selection: Poor selection on meats and fresh vegetables when using curbside pickup
- [R89] Safeway Deals & Delivery Bananas: They were way too green!
