“Great selection and always clean.”

Jenn S.
8/30/21

This year shopping for children's back to school clothes I visited many stores. Most were not stocked and the variety was very limited but Kohl's was great. So many brands to choose from and very neatly displayed. The customer service reps were friendly and returns were easy when need be. Their online selection is even better than in store and the shipping is prompt and arrives quickly. The quality of the brands they carry are also top notch and wash well. I would recommend shopping at Kohl's.

“Tired of constant Price Changes”

Creatress Z.
11/3/24

This business drives me crazy. I cannot ever be sure I am getting the best price. I will place an order online. The next day the item will be on sale. Place that order, then a few days later, the discounts change and yet an even lower price is available. What kind of business want's customers placing multiple orders only to return them all because prices have changed? I have one last return of a group of items that had me go through 4 orders to get the best price. I make sure that I consolidate so I only have to go to the store once for returns, but then the poor clerk has to spend 20 minutes with me sorting through multiple orders for the returns. I am done! I will shop elsewhere. Kohl's, lower your prices overall and keep them standard and YOU will save money! What an insane business model that cause extra work for everyone, and drives your customers away.

Hamilton Rd ******* location
I'm not sure if it was just an off night or what but the man taking Amazon returns acted and looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there. He was rude. The staff up front blatantly ignored me. One was counting coupons and the other was putting carts away. Walked all the way back to customer service to ask for a manager who also didn't seem to care so I submitted my complaint about the lack of customer service in his store and he said he'd take care of it but seemed like he couldn't wait for me to be out of his face. So I'm just letting everyone know, maybe go elsewhere if you think you're going to get decent customer service here on a Friday night an hour before close. Probably the worst experience I've had in awhile. I'll take my business elsewhere. No big. There's entirely too many competing companies to waste time on poor customer service.

I received a message from Kohl's that my order is ready for pickup. When I arrived, Monica in the pickup area/ Amazon, was there, I was having a hard time connecting to the pickup pass. I asked Monica if she would look up by order #, she said "NO" she said wait until your pickup pass shows up. She told the lady behind me that she'd help her. Finally my pickup pass showed spot #121. So I gave it to Monica. And once again she was rude. Said go back there and get it yourself. I had never been told to go get it myself. I've been there many times and was helped. Monica was neither polite, nor professional nor courteous.

I ordered some Dolce & Gabbana cologne on February 5,2022 for a Valentine's Day present for my husband. Today is February 21, and still no cologne. I never received the cologne. I have called Kohl's customer service several times with no help at all. Worse customer service I have ever experienced. I have never had this problem with Macy's, Amazon, eBay etc. I will be cutting my Kohl's card up. They try to present themselves as a high class store, but they lack in customer service. Bye Kohl's. Macy's has better deals and excellent customer service.

I love Kohl; s because they don't have the limitation so many other clothing stores have. You earn the cash, you can use it on anything, and you don't have to spend a dime of your own money to use it. They always have some kind of discount, and it applies to about 95% of their products(better than any other store out there). They have free store pick up which is also handy. Also it's worth having a Kohl's card, just for the extra discounts you can receive. Great clothes for all ages!

There was no return labels sent with the products and no way to press return to get one on my account! I finally found a return sheet to print out but i had to pay nearly 60 just to send a pair of jeans, 2 shorts and glasses back. I won't ever order online from them again.

I ordered two men large tee shirts. First delivery that was sent was a youth's size seven sweat pants. Called and customer service and they agreed to send the correct order. This is why one star. Second delivery was the two tee shirts but in slim fit. My order was regular fit. Called again to customer service to express my dissatisfaction that the wrong shirts were sent. Their reply was, "Well we can't send out another order with free shipping you will need to go to a store and exchange". So to the store at my expense plus the cost of $8.95 original shipping costs for the two shirts!

They are kind of over priced, I bought my husband and Son shirts for his graduation and it cost me $100, for two shirts, really? The cashiers are forced to try to get you to open up a credit line with them, I hate that.

Kohls ripped me off! I had a $15 credit and they failed to honor it. On Sept. 20,2021 I spoke with an agent, "Daniel" 4079, who said he'd get back to me. He never did!
Lesson learned: Never accept a merchandise credit. Get the cash!

Buyer beware! Terrible customer service! I recently purchased some items from Kohl's during the Black Friday sale. They were shipped to the wrong address. When I called customer service I spoke to three different representatives, including supervisors, all of them told me there was nothing that could be done. All implied that I was at fault for inputting an incorrect address. Even if that were the case, one would think that a commitment to good customer service would prevail! In any event, I was ultimately informed that I was basically out nearly $100. A refund was not going to be issued, Nor would my order be resent to me. I will never ever ever shopped at Kohl's online again! Buyer beware beware beware!

I ordered some expensive earrings and used Apple Pay without realizing it still had an old address which I caught two hours after making the order. No tracking number created yet or anything. No modification possible nor cancellation so I'm just out the money before it was even sent. Than god for Amazon or any other jeweler

Bought a product at Kohls.com because it was mentioned I would receive $30 in Kohl's Cash.

However, I didn't see their e-mail and now it's "Expired". The expiration date is also VERY short, good luck with that.

Customer service say they cannot do anything to help. Suuuuure, it's not like if you had full access to my Kohl's account and could add $30 in there.

Well done Kohl's, you've just lost one more customer.

Customer service during holidays is non-existent. Canceled half of my order 2 weeks before Christmas (when it was purchased over 3 weeks ago) and never shipped the other half! On hold forever and a day to reach someone who cannot give you an answer anyway!

Nearly every type of clothing I have ever bought at Kohl's didn't last a year. The seams come apart very easily. Don't buy their overprice underwear or socks either. I paid off my credit card with them then shredded the card.

I've both ordered online and shopped in stores. What's important to note is that there's ALWAYS a coupon, and some better deals always cycle around for holidays, etc. - never go without a coupon, though chances are they'll just deduct the amount anyway. Best deals are always in store, I've gotten great quality shirts and dresses, etc, for under $10. But online has its perks - convenience and organization namely. Had a few issues with kohls cash in the past and I called them up - fantastic customer service! Don't be scared to call! They do price adjustments too within 2 weeks or something if your product goes down in price after you buy it. No one challenged me, everything was adjusted accordingly and speedily, and they were extremely polite. And they ALWAYS take returns! (literally. Always. Even if it's been a year or two, no joke) Great business.

When shopping online with Kohl's be aware that your money spent for shipping is never given back to you The local store is great, but online shopping is horrid. I have had to return three times and I am out the shipping. Be aware those that do this, like me. Shop wiser and not with Kohl's online. They are not nice either in the store when you bring the product back. I am not real happy with their grouchy attitudes. In store is great, but out of store is horrible,

Tip for consumers:
The shipping would not come back to you with a purchase as large as this one since it is all based on products that are quality.

There's always something available on the Kohl's website (great price plus sale discounts). Quick delivery and easy returns. Also, there's a Kohl's about 10 minutes away. Shoppers paradise. Mid level clothing, but terrific prices. Shop during a promotion and receive Kohl's cash for your next shopping trip. EI get easy access by bus or car. Near main roads and the Long Island Expressway. Also surrounded by a movie theater, Starbucks, Boston Market, 2 clothing boutiques (one plus size), Applebees, a bank, and more. Love it!

I tried to find a pair of gym shoes when I noticed there was a slinky wire contraption along with an alarm attached to the shoes.bThis made it impossible to try on shoes and try and walk a few feet for comfort all in the name of theft. Well no need to worry other stores will steal us as customers. Not ever coming back.

Very, very poor check out service. Whomever thought this one up out to be fired. On busy days the lines can stretch for at least 300 to 400 feet (no exageration). Tellers calling people in line one at a time and hoping customers see them waiving. Then people walking as far as 30-40 feet to a teller with all their products, children and/or family members can take 4-5 minutes.
All in all I have experienced waits of over 2 hours when I just HAD to get a product.

Kohls offers an extremely wide variety of clothing for both men and women (& children). Staff is always helpful and friendly and returns are simple. Never a question or problem. Glad there is one close to me.

I purchased an Adidas warmup jacket online with Kohl's on March 18,2021. (Order #XXXXX0661). The order shows shipped via FEDEX on March 19,2021. The order was not shipped, and the only action was that a label was printed. Kohl's never sent a follow up email which caused me to exceed the 60-day dispute window for my credit card company. The warmup top was $63.25 which Kohl's gladly charged my account, but now state they cannot find my order. I am very disappointed in this instance of customer fraud committed by Kohl's against a consumer. I plan on filing an attorney general complaint to recoup my costs. I am writing this to warn all consumers about this poor business practice. I will never purchase from Kohl's again.

Signed Former Customer.

I really love this store, but a little hard to navigate through their on line. Goes back to the beginning of site If your not careful, when you look at things.
You must also know how to 'shop' Kohls. Their regular prices are to high. But they offer many perks. Their clearance is usually good as well.

I used to shop at Kohls and kohls.com a lot. Then I started having problems with them online. The site would empty my cart, lose coupon codes, and not work at all. I have had a few shipments arrive with broken items because things were packaged so poorly. Some were handled to my satisfaction, some not. Another order never arrived and after quite a long time, I was refunded and could reorder. Of course the original colors were no longer available. I ordered different colors and guess what? The original colors were available the very next day. I haven't shopped with them for a while now. They used to be one of the best but not anymore. Customer Service has gone down hill too. When I do finally order again, I will not be surprised if there are problems.:-(

I have ordered twice from Kohls simply because the local store management is so disrespectful and rude. I had a credit card with Kohls and spent on average of $650 a month. I stopped visiting the store on Bailey Cove in Huntsville, AL because on numerous occasions the manager treated me in a disrespectful manner, at one point he asked did you find what you were looking for today and I responded " I did not buy much today and he responded " well do not come back then". I cancelled my account with them immediately and decided to go where my business was appreciated. I did try to order online but found that most orders take about 10 days to receive. There are too many other options that treat Customers kindly.

So I followed the guidelines. Stayed up till 1am Thanksgiving Morning and ordered, payed for, and got order confirmation for my son, and daughters Christmas gifts(2-PlayStation 4,)(and also 2 shark vacuums for my aunt and mom). Saturday I received an email stating my order was now canceled because they are now out of stock! Mind you they continued to take orders for and ship out to folks that ordered after me! Bad Business! Kohl's has lost at least 3 card carrying consumers over this! Boo Kohl's, Boo!
