“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.

Cares about the customer and rewards the consumer by giving back Kohl's Cash. They also support Charity with valued items to purchase that your children enjoy as the are giving to others to help them as well. The give and take-the American Way.

So angry as a conservative that this company dropped My Pillow. Hope you lose every conservative customer. How dare you insult us by dropping a company that employs and manufactures it's products in America.

My online shopping experience with Kohl's is wonderful! They offer a variety of sizes, styles, brands, and you can pay online, have it shipped anywhere or even have it so you can pick it up at the store nearest you. I love Kohl's and all of their items.

Ordered my children's school uniforms. Totaled approx. $300.00. Was told order would be received in 3-5 days. On the 5th day I received a package it had only 1/2 the items ordered. If I had not kept track of my items I would never have known that I was missing some items. There was no communication from company saying that my other items were on the way or back ordered. 5 days later I received an email stating that my order was ready to ship... what? I called company and they said oh yes, you have more items ready to be shipped and they will arrive between September 10 and 15. I asked what happened to the 3-5 days I was promised. They said oh yes about that... these items were in high demand and were back ordered. I asked how come no one from Target contacted me? All I wanted was communication. They said we are too busy to contact every order that is back ordered. Do not like this store or their site...

I missed a payment in March due to Covid breakout, earthquakes for weeks and rushing to teach 150 students online and missed a payment, they sent this to the credit bureau. I've shopped here for 20: years and they do this. I'm so done with Kohl's, beware. This is very pathetic and other businesses, from my understanding worked with their customers, not greedy Kohl's, shoot to ruin credit.

I used to be an avid Kohls.com buyer, but after being a loyal return customer for two years, I am noticing that the offerings in women's clothing seem to be the same thing over and over. The same styles just in different colors.

For this reason and no other, I moved on to other online retailers of women's clothing. I recently went back on line to see if anything has changed and unfortunately, I am still seeing the same styles, same clothing lines and not much new at all.

Kohls it is time to freshen up your offerings and get in some new clothing lines. On the plus side, they often have great sales, great discount codes available and good delivery service. Also the ability to return online purchases to the store is a big plus!

I have ordered many items from Kohl's. Only had one problem, they shipped a pair of boots that were supposed to be size 9, box said size 9, but boots inside were size 8. I believe it was a manufacturer error and not Kohl's fault. I had an awful time trying to sort it out and reorder the correct size because everyone I talked to by phone was foreign and I could not understand them nor could they understand me. I talked to four people before I could get the order straightened out.

Let me lay it out for you Kohls...
You have just lost my business and be assured I am not the only one! You have banned the sale of My pillow products and now I have banned you! You are banning a Christian man's products who provides jobs for American People!
You will ban products from a US company just because he supports President Trump! I bet your sales have been great for the past 4 years! He is the reason! By creating our strong economy it allowed people to shop at your store! Well your sales are about to plummet! I hope you go out of business! You block the sale of something made in America but you will continue to sell crap from China! I am done with you and I'm sure I'm not the only American! Have a blessed day!

I ordered an under amour hat for my husband for Christmas and was sent the wrong color. It was ugly! I emailed the customer service and drove the hour and half round trip to return it to the store to be exchanged faster. The sales clerk and I ordered it together. I received my package today to get the same wrong hat I did not want! Beyond frustrated I try calling the toll free number on my shipping papers to get disconnect tones. I look on the website and found a different number. I call and they tell me I had to go through the same crap again. I refused and asked for a supervisor. I hate having to be nasty because their just trying to do their job but it was ridiculous! After arguing and yelling he told me to keep or donate it and I would be refunded and fix the website. I will never shop their website again which I did enjoy very much until this awful experience.

Tried to buy a pair of shoes. Electronic price tag showed one price. Went to check out, shoes came up $25 more than tag on shoes. Clerk said it was my fault I missed the sale. Did not matter what electronic price tag said. Done

Calling customer service very slow; difficult to understand. Ordered 4 items dec 30 one delivered in 10 Days. 3 items same order not received as of January 19. Fedex claims address incorrect however the blanket was delivered using the same address.
Products being returned to kohls. They will credit my acct when they receive them. They want me to call back and reorder? Lengthy phone calls to who knows where, taking over 15 minutes and difficult to communicate with CS. Now they reordered it gave 20 discount and 2 day shipping. C s trying to help but kohls has bigger issues. I still wait for the credit but its better than having to call back.

Kohls has always been on time and always has a bunch of items on sale or clearance! I've never had to wait long for an order. With their new ship to store option, it makes shopping for items that are on sale and only available online awesome! I've used the service twice and have no complaints!

Don't bother trying to get order right. It took me 45 minutes between chat and actually speaking to Customer Service located in the Phillipines. Ended up giving up on order 4 days before Christmas. Their 30% Reward Member or 30% off for using their credit card is BS. If you have Kohls Cash forget about exchanges. That discount is lost if you exchange items.

Tip for consumers:
Watch out for false advertising.

Products used:
Issue with advertising discounts. Purchased in store and lost Kohls Cash because original purchase went down over $50 even I purchased $60 worth in items in home department and more in other departments. Today ended up cancelling due not being credited of percentage off on item. This was after Customer Service said they could credit account.

Astounded at the way they have committed so much store space to cosmetics and removed the jewelry dept. Also way too much space taken up by Yoga/excercise wear. Too much junkie clearance clothes racks that do NOT have good prices and look like leftovers from a garage sale. Stores seam geared toward too many "name brand" items with unnecessary high prices. Buy one get one 50 % off sales are a rip off. Don't make me buy 2 items to get a sale price when I only want 1. All in all my shopping at Kohls has ended. They need new buyers and new Qualty control personnel who care about Customer needs. Try returning to the way you "used to be"!

Tip for consumers:
Not good

Never shop at Kohls, they dont fulfill their end of the bargain, by completing orders. They will cancel your order even after it has been submitted. Poor management! They take your money and is highly unreliable! Dont buy anything from them bcuz they more than likely will lie about having something in stock.

Just gonna say I bought Kohls for Christmas. Also would like to add that I paid my account off last night and cut that card in half
Not one thing made it 3 months...as in $2500 worth.
Never again...Kohls definitely isn't the same...save yourself some money...go to the local Thrift Store...
Yes...I have my Kohl's statements and no I don't care to share them on a website...No didn't take pictures of defective or inferior products...that I gave for Christmas gifts and No they couldn't even exchange those gifts for a replacement.

After shopping at Kohls for 28 years, this morning I tried to get into my account and was informed I had to use my husband's info to access MY account. After over 1 hour trying to solve the problem, I cancelled my account and will not shop there anymore. And Sephora is a big mistake in Kohls, too. Just a waste of space! Customer service is horrible at Kohls and I can't get a straight answer from customer service.

During Christmas they sent out 20% cupons and Khol cash discounts if you spent so many dollars you get x amount off.My mom and my cousin love it. I usually saved the cupons and shared them with Co workers. Good shopping celebration
Something for the whole family.

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.

I'm writing a review mainly because as an IT person, I've developed a vendetta against their site. They've been overdue for years to revise it to be more mobile friendly. I can think of two transactions that I cancelled after spending over an hour getting redirected by late loading ads because there were errors in the checkout process. I recently decided to save myself the hassle to get some summer wear and shop in store. I have a Kohls charge and went to pay my bill today. I had to borrow a PC because no browsers on any of the mobile devices I had could dispaly their new terms pop up fully so I could not agree and load the site on anything mobile. To repeat. I love the brands, offers, and product. But they need to have a serious performance review of their site, do some massive revisions, and start testing site changes like new term agreements on multiple platforms. So I'll give two stars for the product but they have a ton of room for improvement.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT use a mobile device to access it. It's annoying, but wait for the page to fully load or chances are you will accidentally click and redirect to a random page. Most of their pages are overloaded with images and banners and the load times are inconsistent.

Products used:
Usually buy shoes, shirts, and pajamas there. Especially love the sonoma brand and maxi chemise pajamas. Will occasionally purchase kitchen, home, gift, etc. options there was well. My favorite quilt, shower curtain, lounge chairs for outdoors, etc. came from there as well. I've trailed off on purchasing there due to an increasing dissatisfaction with their website and I live too far away to shop there in person often.

I occasionally shop Khol's but I'm not exactly crazy about zillion coupons you must use in order to get the item for the price it should have been in the first place. You only think you're getting a good deal because the prices are inflated. And what happens when you loose said coupons? Or you didn't know there were any? I guess then you pay double? Too much work and I can get them at the same price w/o coupons anywhere else.

The store manager in El Paso has a huge neck tattoo, red strawberry hair and she is painted out of control. No professional standards at all. Kohls do better!

Kohls uses the worst and slowest shipping method "Smart Post" better known as Snail Post. I would much rather pay a few bucks for shipping to get my items in a timely manner. My last two orders took almost two weeks to arrive and I had to got to the damn post office to get them. UPS or Fed Ex would have delivered them to my door. I am very disappointed with them
