“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.

I will never spend another dime at Kohl's until they lift the ban for Mike Lindell and any other ban for trump supporters. I will ask my friends and family to do the same and pass it on. Shame on your censoring efforts

It is very important for the fellow kohl's employees to read this. If you were at kohl's on Deerfield Parkway in Milton, Georgia at approximately 5:30 and saw a middle aged kid about 12,13, or 14, running and laughing, while his grandmother was yelling at him saying that it's not funny, was that this kid was not laughing about wandering off, he has a problem, not a disability, but a problem with laughing all the time. I want you guys who work at kohl's on Deerfield Parkway, Milton, Georgia to not worry.

I was pleased with the attitude to the customers. Everything was explained, everything was asked, everything was as polite and client-oriented as possible. No complaints about the purchase - everything is perfect. Thank you.

Kohl's advertised and I purchased, the RONCO 5250 model rotisserie oven with a one-year manufacturer's warranty, in November 2021. I used it once. Got it out to use is again (October 2022) and it doesn't work. Contacted RONCO customer service. They said that this model stopped production in '2018' and RONCO sold out to another company in 2020 and they will not honor the warranty. Kohl's won't do anything either. Sold me an item where the warranty was invalid from date of purchase! Canceling my account with Kohl's!

I purchased earrings on line, I got a email said my order is ready to pick up. I didn't pick up this order. They don't know where this order is, and dont care, the customer care did care about me or my order. All she was want to refund my money back on these earrings from your store, and your mess up, someone stole my earrings. This is bad business for khol store. I think they need to do better job for their customers, we keep them in business.

If you earn Kohls cash on a purchase or spend Kohls cash you might have a problem if you try to return something. I asked cust svc if you could decline kohl's cash and they told me you could not but you can divide a larger purchase into several small ones under $50 each so you will not earn kohls cash. That is pretty messed up.

Also I noticed the quality on a lot of their merchandise is below Wal Mart's quality and they are rediculously over priced. I will be closing my account and not shopping there anymore. Its not worth the hassle.

Delivered DAMAGED - glass candle sent in a plastic shipping bag wrapped in bubble wrap! What brain thought that was going to survive! NOW I have to return - either drive 45 miles to nearest Kohls or send back and pay the cost of return -- when it WAS NOT my fault! There is a reason I haven't shopped Kohls much lately! I've been a Kohl's customer since 1970s - YOUR service SUCKS & has gone downhill!

Tip for consumers:
IF the product is defective and ordered onlne - the product should be returnable with free shipping.... by the sames means it was rec'd I order online for delivery because my nearest Kohls is 45miles away!!

Products used:
Free returns in store - MUST pay for returns mailed back! EVEN when the item is damaged and/or their ERROR

Ordered a sale item from Kohls.com, using $10 Kohls cash... item was pretty inexpensive, even paying shipping. BUT... never received the item. My account online said it was shipped and I was billed. Contacted Kohls.com, a few times. It's been 6 weeks since item was ordered, paid the bill, lost my Kohls cash and no item. Will never order online from Kohls again.

I was not able to return an item due to their antiquated system and had to waste gas and a hour round trip to return once the glitch was resolved. No coupons or gift cards to make up for the additional cost and time wasted. Watch your Amazon returns closely because kohls messes up and you may not receive your credits. Today while returning an Amazon purchase, I waited on a very long line and was forced to stand next to some woman's slobbery dog that bothered everyone passing by. I had to go home to get my rescue inhaler. What kind of store sells merch in a barn like atmosphere? It was disgusting and it took me two hours to breathe normally. I called customer service and no one was concerned. Who wants to buy clothes with dog dander all over it? So gross.

Used a $10 Kohls Cash coupon the other day on a large order. I needed to return one item from the order because the style and size were wrong for my daughter. They deducted my whole $10 Kohls Cash coupon from my refund and all I got was about $4.00. I thought they should have applied only a percentage of the Kohls Cash.

I always score with Kohls. What's even better, they almost always offer a percentage off your purchases and then some. The Kohl's cash is always a big help when you're shopping. As of now, I about $20 of Kohl's cash I can use after Christmas.

I like kohl's. I go into the store a lot. For back to school clothes shopping, I saw a lot of things I liked for my daughter on their website. We went to a kohl's store to shop, and they hardly had any of the things that were on their site. So instead, I ordered online. The clothes took SO LONG to get to me. They use FedEx Smartpost apparently, but do not tell you this when you check out. FedEx Smartpost is lowest priority for both FedEx and the USPS. It also says that items may be packaged separately if necessary, but I didn't expect to get 20 different tracking numbers for each individual item! And they were all sent to different random FedEx Smartpost locations and different states! It was so hard to keep track of what had come and what had not, and I had individual items arriving over the course of weeks. Will never order online from them again!

I LOVE Kohls. They have great sales online. They only problem is their site is slow sometimes AND I have lost my shopping bag several times. Also I've deleted items only for them to re-appear when I log back in. They really need to update their website.

One of my favorite online stores to shop at. Always great prices, discounts and excellant quality. Kohls always has ways to earn Kohls cash and yes 2 you rewards. I have ordered clothing, shoes, housewares, bedding and have not been dissapointed yet. Shipping can be slow so if you need your order in a hurry expedite for sure,

Hike up the prices... Then mark it down to scam their customers. Always look up prices if you want to buy anything pricey. Price at kohls will be 200 but on sale for 150... But you can find same exact product at target for 80. Stupid return rules. If you don't have a receipt forget about it. Youll get the lowest possible return price. Bought earrings for 225. On sale for probably 180. Were missing diamonds and broken. Wouldnt allow an exchange and only wanted to give me 40 dollars for their broken item. The clothes seem worn out out and 9 times out of 10 will have a hole in it. Very hard to find something decent. Better to shop elsewhere. Save your time and money.

The first time I heard of kohls I was excited! A higher end discount store sounded amazing! Then I started looking at the sales they had and realized I wasn't really getting any discounts at all. It's the worst! I'm actually spending more money because I'm being forced to think that everything is on sale. Terrible store plus the customer service is a nightmare. If something is given as a gift and you don't get the gift receipt they only exchange it for store credit. So when I got really cute maternity clothes that never fit right no matter the size on the tag they wouldn't do anything except give me store credit :(

The Khols shopping site is VERY friendly that my great grandmother could navigate. The pictures are right on, you can zoom and roll over, the colors ot the products are spot on, the check out is quick, secure and gives you the opportunity to either change your mind, add on or hold it. I don't rec. Holding as the items go fast. Their sales and money saving campaigns let the customer know they really have a handle on the current economic climate. PLUS there's a real live person you have access to if needed. The shipping time is accurate and reasonable. They also have their own customer reviews and are interested in customer satisfaction. So far, 3 years, the items I've purchased through Khols have worn well and receive a lot of compliments. Some items I highly rec. Are the NutriBullet, and Chaps Sleepwear~comfy:-)

I love shopping here. If I order something that doesn't work for me I can just take it back to the store instead of having to pay postage to send it back via mail. Kohls customer service is one of the best.

I tried to order my kids some toys for their birthday/ christmas. It kept kicking me out of a promo code I was using! So I sent an email to customer service. Never heard back from them. Tried again today and I had to login as a guest because all of a sudden I can't log in ( btw, they have NO TROUBLE with me logging in to pay my bill though...) So I called customer service after waiting two weeks for a response and I got some Indian guy that wants all my personal info. No thanks. I'm never shopping on this badly programmed site with crappy customer service again!

** oh and just so you know... the item that I was actually ABLE TO ORDER- they just cancelled it. Awesome. After CHARGING MY KHOLS CARD. I'm sure my daughter will be thrilled that I can't get her what she wants for her birthday next week.**

I love kohl's department store. Place always has something you can find. There's usually a sale going on 95% of the time. Their coupon exclusions aren't made by corporate. It's by the company that makes the product. Kohl's also has the best kohl's cash problem. They always have rewards you can earn without having a kohl's card. Having a kohl's card has benefits. Most coupons apply when you use the kohl's card. The cloths are better quality, and last much longer. I highly recommend kohl's cof all you'd shopping experience. Also the employees is makes the store it. It changes the whole environment.

Really cool webpage overall, the only downside is that sometimes the webpage really gets slow. Besides that I've never had a problem with returning a purchase at Kohl's, even if I can't find the original receipts.

I needed help work an order that was processed too many times. No help was given. An email was sesecret days after with no help given. A phone call was made by myself immediately [5 minutes] after the problem occurred however there was no one to take said phone call. Poor customer assistance.

I ordered Christmas gifts and one toy was created a shipping label and never sent. I called and the order was supposed to have been corrected. Same issue. Never shipped. I called again and got a woman with a heavy accent and she kept me on hold for a very long time. Finally she said it was available for in store pick up. I told her that is not an option for me. I live 4 hrs away from any Kohl's. She wouldn't say anything other than in store pick up. I asked why was I given a tracking number and a carrier (ups) for in store pick up. She wouldn't answer. I hung up and called again. I got a nice lady with a heavy accent again, and she was kind enough to cancel the order, issue a refund and start a new order. I got the toy 2 wks after Christmas. Huge disappointment.
