Have used multiple times - at home delivery and in-store pick up, both with excellent results. Items are shipped promptly, packaged well and in perfect condition. A plus is that web orders can be returned to a store vs return shipping. In store pick up is very easy and quick at the Customer Service Desk.

Someone bought me a gift pair of jeans. Really disliked them so I headed back to Kohls with gift receipt. Kohls had a different special the time I went back. Kohls had no pricing identified on the jeans. They have electronic displays with buy one get one one half off with no price tags on anything. When I went to purachase I was surprised I had to pay another 30 dollars above the exchange amount. I complained about the lack of clear pricing anywhere in the Jean section. Got typical minimal wage store attendant responses. Another electronic advancement designed to shaft the customer. Keep telling folks to not buy me clothing for gifts for all of these reasons. Also will not be buying at Kohls again. No clear pricing is an as automatic walk away for me but I was locked in with a gift receipt.

Over priced, rude, doesn't offer military discounts or ship to store options. I'll shop somewhere else you just lost my business!

Ordered a few things online from here. A few things I knew I wanted but the store didn't have so I just ordered online and it was easy and shipped pretty quick. A few things I wasn't sure about but ordered anyway and when I got it didn't want it. I just had to take it back to the store and they took it back no questions or hassle. So I would order more stuff online knowing if it didn't fit or look good in my house I wasn't stuck with it or didn't have to pay to ship back or face a nasty sales clerk interrogating me like some other stores. Only thing that was a pain was trying to use a store coupon code online - had to return and rebuy at the store to get the discount to apply but had to buy online because the store didn't stock it - and wasted a lot of time on line to return because they have a special return counter you have to got to - its not just at the regular sales counter. But most of what I get I keep and it beats having to deal with USPS or UPS to try and return something and then pay for it and hope it arrives safely. Plus then I just buy more stuff when I'm there and the people at the return counter give you ideas because they see the stuff that comes back alot and the stuff that never gets returned so you know what doesn't break fast talking to them.

I set up my wedding registration with Kolhs. One of my wedding guest contacted me over 2 weeks after the wedding and said she still haven't received the 3 items she ordered for us back in April already (our wedding was mid-May) so she had contacted customer service at the number *******705 to ask them about it. She was told I need to call in and talk to them about it since I was the one with the registry, so I did. A guy by the name of Kris spoke with me and told me that my guest needs to contact them about it since she is the one that ordered, so I proceeded to tell him what she was told to tell me. He put me on hold and transferred me to a lady, I wish I could remember her name. I told her what's going on and she got rather rude and short with me and told me that doesn't make sense because that's not how it works and tried to turn the tables on me and make me feel like I was the one doing something wrong when I was merely reporting to her what I was told by my guest, and what my guest was originally told by someone else at the same location! This is not the first time I have received poor customer service from Kolhs and I am sick and tired of it! At the end the lady I spoke with told me my guest was given wrong information and to have her call the number *******705. So now I'm waiting to see what story they'll be telling my guest when she calls back! Whether it's negative or positive I'll be sure to note it on here!

Shame on Kohls
May 16, 2017

I've been a loyal Kohls customer for years. No more! In Kohls defense, I was late on my April credit card payment, payment due $27. I was called 15 times today by Kohls! 15 times from 8:00 am to 6:00pm. For $27! If that's not harassment, I don't know what is. I have canceled my account. Wow! Did I mention, they left no messages, just continued to call. Customer service told me all these calls were a cortsey to me! Disgusted!

Kohl's is the number #1 place I would go too because they satisfy customers and give free coupons depending on what you buy. They are so nice.

Kohls should be ashamed! Dont use their credit cards!

Kohls likes to repeat repeat We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. Really? I dont think so!

In my opinion Kohls will destroy your credit and rip you off with an astronomical fee.

In three months after Kohls sending the bill to the wrong address, Kohls forced my credit rating to drop MORE than 120 POINTS and gouged me with a fee of over 330%. THREE HUNDRED THIRTY PERCENT? Can you believe that? In just three months. Kohls says its all legal. Do you really want to do business with a company like that?

Kohls says that they appreciate the opportunity to assist you. I would like very much for this bully of a company to repair my credit and refund my over payment for using a Kohls credit card and for being a customer.

Kohls has just asked me for a PM and incident number from their brutal treatment of one of their customers. I have no idea what they are asking me for. I would like to point out again that my bill with Kohls is paid in full.
Kohls never gave me the courtesy of offering me any assistance or any PM or I# when kohls sent bills to a wrong address. Kohls it should have been obvious that a contact was needed in your company, but you offered none.

Kohls customers you have been warned!

I have a 17 year old daughter who is suffering from severe depression for over one year. Recently, she decided to go to Kohls and attempted to steal 3 pieces of ear rings worth around $27 (with coupon). I am not justifying my daughter's actions. However, this is insensitive and too harsh.
This is the first time she ever done something like this and we do not know what caused her to do this. Anyway, Kohls sent her to jail and they did not even contact us. Their policy is to prosecute anyone who tried to steal $20. They lost me as a customer.

I've been a loyal Kohl's customer since they sold groceries in the Milwaukee area! That is now over. I will never step foot in a Kohl's again nor shop them online., as they have informed me that they don't want me anymore!

Recently I bought a whole bunch of stuff at Kohl's online and sent them to different recipients as gifts. The last one was an especially large order, which they cancelled and sent me an email with no explanation but a telephone number to call. I did. I got customer service. After some lengthy verifications of who I am, what credit card I used and where the gift was going, they told me they would not reinstate the order. When asked why, they said it looked like I was a reseller, and they did not sell to resellers. When I explained the real situation, it did not influence their decision a bit, and I had to re-buy everything at Overstock (a company that appreciates my business!)

They should get a clue. There are plenty of other online stores happy to take my money! But the real issue is, they accepted the sale, then reneged. Isn't there a law against this? Was a contract not formed? Did they not default?

Customer service is a joke. Each rep tells you something different. Shipments are sent to the wrong address repeatedly. Returns are practically impossible. You're told to ship things back via UPS w/o a return label and when UPS refuses to pick it up, attempts to return at the physical store is impossible because the wrong SKU # was entered. They had the nerve to ask me if I wanted a credit for a much less amount that i purchased the merchandise and finally after about 45 minutes they were able to refund me my money. Kohls was apologetic and embarrassed by Kohls.com.

We were recently involved in a real estate transaction where Kohls was one of the major tenants in our shopping center. Time was running out on our deal and we needed their real estate department to work pretty much "light speed" to get the Estoppel and SNDA returned to us so we proceed with the closing. Melissa Foester was the coordinator at Kohls that worked with us and she was OUTSTANDING. Our emails were returned promptly with updates, and she notified us as soon as when the documents would arrive. Thank you Melissa for the proper attention and urgency that you provided us. I can say that not all retailers work as well you did for us on these types of transactions and I wish you and the entire Kohls team all the best in 2017!

Apart9
April 17, 2017

I believe their brand for clothing is Apart9 (Ishould know this, I am a graphic designer and I am always checking out logos, flyers, album art, etc.). Apart9 has some designs similar to Express (men's graphic Ts in particular), not so much fitted dress shirts. During the Fall they also always have snazzy men's sweaters and jackets. If you like the suave look, then you will love Aprt9 at Kohl's (I may have the name Aprt9 Incorrect, but If Google searched I am sure it will auto correct.

In Love
April 13, 2017

I am sooo in love with this site. I do all my Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary, etc shopping on here. It is so easy. 30% off, birthday coupons, rewards dollars, Kohl's cash... what is not to love.

I even received 3 pairs of kids shoes around Christmas time. I called to notify them that I received them incorrectly. They verified that they were not charged to my account and told me to donate them to someone who could use them. I donated them to the Angel Network at my sons elementary school that helps clothes and feed kids in the school that cannot afford to do so.

The only negative I have is that they need to get some new buyers for the women's (plus size) clothes. We are not all 70+ and would like some fashionable clothes just like the thinner people

Gotta go! Kohl's.com is waiting.

I'm sure that is misleading, but it's true. Reason being is Kohls.com is going to send me to the poorhouse. I have spent thousands of dollars on the site and the deals are just insane. There are so many more items available online than in the store. This year I did all of my Black Friday/Christmas shopping in one sitting with a 30% off coupon and double Kohl's cash. The Wallet function is fantastic and the process of applying coupons, Kohl's cash, and promo codes is a breeze. A great store and a fantastic site.

Great way to shop

My wife used to shop here from clothing and one old cashier lady always gave us 15% discounts from all the product we bought. Happy to shop from this mall.

This store has higher prices, and they offer better pricing that tricks the consumer into thinking it's a "Sale" price, when indeed it's a rebate. Then when you send in the rebate, they don't honor it. Scam place! They lure people in with Kohls bucks. For every $50 you spend you get $10 in Kohls bucks. So wow, you get 20% back to spend in their over priced store. You are not really saving anything because you can buy the same items elsewhere much cheaper.
