Sam’s Club

This Sams club is nearby so I do go here regularly for paper household items and drinks. Almost always if we’re having a big family dinner because I’m sure to get enough burgers and whatnot.
It’s nice it’s convenient but what makes me give them 4 stars is the last time I was in. I sat my brand new phone down to get strawberries and I completely left it there. I realized it was missing within minutes at the check out and of course I freaked out, retraced my steps and couldn’t find it. I had no doubt that someone had already taken it because it could have easily been resold for a pretty penny and of course all my bank information and everything was on it, so I was worried sick.
Anyway, apparently this one employee had already found it and took it up to the front to lock it up. She probably has no idea how thankful I was and still am for her finding it and taking care of it right away. I just had to call my number to prove it was mine. I was so relieved and next time I go in I’m going to get her first name so I can update my review. Seriously a life saver… She deserves 5 plus stars alone.
Another thing I want to mention that is pretty crazy. I buy flowers often. Before New Year’s I bought a New Year bouquet here (we had a lot of family in town and I wanted to be a little festive). Fast forward 15 days and this bouquet is still alive and fresh! I took a picture because I have never had flowers last so long. Plus they are still really pretty. I’m attaching it to my review (hopefully) so you can see. I’ll probably get others next time here, to see if this was just a freak accident or maybe they just have some seriously long living flowers.

I got a super membership deal through Living Social.
Nice, clean large location. A large selection of items.
Similar to Costco. Some things better, some not as good. Food court is poor quality.
Some neat organic food items.
Delicious Meat — ground hamburger and steaks.
Nice people, very helpful.
Great gas prices. Less crowded than Costco.

I like Sams club all but for them not boxing up my purchases. I like Sams club all but customer service, which is run by mostly dorks. otherwise than that its great.

Love going to Sam’s Club there are never lines and if there is an employee will scan your items and bring you to a close register and ring you up. I prefer going there vs Costco any day!

The Tucson Sam’s Club gets a five star review because of its University of Arizona gear selection. They always have several options in clothes and other necessities for a true Wildcat. I no longer live in Tucson (unfortunately), but I have shopped here since my sophomore year (2000). The employees are very helpful and friendly, and they have a good selection of merchandise.
I recommend shopping at Sam’s Club.

Had the worst experience here today. I wanted to buy the Star Wars blu-​rays here and when I asked the membership lady if they had them they said no. Okay, I thought, I’ll just buy them on eBay, well at least the one trilogy they said they didn’t have. Not only did they have it, but they had at least ten copies!!! Okay, I’ll buy the other trilogy I though since I didn’t buy that one on eBay. The lady said they had them, so it looked promising, but she said they did not know where they are. They didn’t even bother to look, rather they wanted me to come back a week later when they have more stock. So let me get this straight. You won’t sell something to a customer, unless it’s conveniently located for an employee to get? No freaking way. Done with this place!!!

I’m a business customer who shops here every week. I shop early in the day for the same things every week for the business, and for a few things from home. The staff is fine, the selection is limited (compared to Rest Depot or Costco), parking is easy (not as slammed as Costco), and there are absolutely no crowds during the Business Customer hours.
Very rarely are they out of the things I need, but their prepared foods (for my home) section is sloooowly shrinking. Luckily, we have TJ’s, Costco and other places for those. But, SAMs is excellent for the basic stuff: breads, snacks, condiments, BBQ plastics, refrigerated items, etc.

When in need of party cups and paper goods, SAMs Club is a pretty good option. I Browsed the rest of the store briefly, so I can’t comment much, although I’m not sure I’ll actually take advantage of the membership. Deals abound– go early and definitely avoid weekends.

My wife and I were members here for 2 years. I hate this place, and finally talked my wife into switching back to Costco. My biggest beef with this place is the poor selection compared to Costco. Costco is MUCH busier, which can be a hassle, but it is a far better store.

I called to check availability on a product when I left my house on the far northwest side. I was still on hold on the phone when I arrived at sams club 20 minutes later.

This Sam’s is close to where I live and so it is convenient. I used to have a Costco membership, but any of the stores are at least a 15 to 20 minute drive one way. Sam’s is 10 minutes away. Both are comparable, neither has an advantage or disadvantage (except for location). They both have excellent products and prices. Wish Sam’s would carry some of the things that Costco does (like the 5 lbs. container of Orville Redenbacher’s Popcorn, the incredible strawberry preserves). Both clubs are guilty of carrying something, getting you hooked on it, then not carrying it anymore. But that happens only once in a great while.
The selection is good and the prices are good. It is a big box store after all. Love the samples. You can get full on those alone, just about. Much of their products are high quality and things we regularly purchase every month.
The snack bar is good. Great prices on dogs, Icee’s, pretty good pizza, and those berry sundaes are really yum for only $ 1.50 – such a steal. I like that I can get a 20 lbs. bag of quality ice for less than a 10 lbs. bag of ice any where else. Like for $ 1.8x.

I am always a fan of Sam’s Club. I wish there was more than one location here in Tucson, but other than that, it is your standard Sam’s Club!

We like Sam’s Club and we have been members for years. We have been to Costco, but they just do not have everything we like and to top it off they are so busy it is hard to move around the store. I guess we kind of have the best of both worlds. We have friends who have a Costco card and we have a Sam’s card. So getting everything we need is not a problem.

Do not order birthday cakes here. If you do, make sure your cake is done 6 hours before you party.
Customer service is way below par everywhere else.

I cheated on costco and went to sam’s club…

The store was very clean and the merchandise organized but forget about getting any service. The employee at the Customer Service desk was on the phone the entire time she handled my return. She really seemed annoyed that I was interrupting her personal phone call. The receipt checker at the exit was humorless and unfriendly. She insisted that a woman in a wheel chair back up a few feet instead of walking over to her.

If you have to shop with a big company store, this is less crowded and the prices are the same. Lines are smaller than Costco. I’ve had both memberships.

I’m taking my stars back.
This place has turned for the worse. The average wait in queue for me this time around was 20 minutes.
They are horribly understaffed which results in long waits to check-​out.
Employees are beyond lethargic and downright zombie like.
The talent that they have working at the registers looks desperate and their performance is worse than ever.
The check-​out process at COSTCO is now becoming more appealing, where the majority of the clerks are middle aged and have been with the company for the past 5, 10, or 15 years.

Sam’s Club is a lot closer to me than Costco so I shop there more. The worst thing about Sam’s Club is trying to reach anyone on the telephone to get information you need before traveling a long distance to get there. I wanted to buy some tires before I took a long trip and wanted to see if they had my size before going there. I had to call multiple times to ever reach someone THEN when i finally reached the tire department a person answered and then left me on hold for a VERY VERY long time before returning. Terrible service.

Sam’s Club… what a … I don’t know… place…
Don’t tell my boyfriend (Costco) I’ve been cheating on him. But I went to Sam’s Club the other day. I’m not really impressed. I prefer Costco. But to be objective, I’m going to write more than 4 sentences for this review:
Its alright.
Sam’s Club mimics Costco but with a variation in items. Sam’s might have better produce, but I didn’t buy any produce so I can’t confirm it. Their bakery does not compete with Costco’s at all.
Pros: No one really shops there and you can actually buy more appliances on-​line than you can at Costco and they have more of a selection of furniture.
Cons: I’m not really impressed with the quality of certain items there and shopping for clothes there is like shopping at K Mart.
I’m so sorry I cheated on you. Don’t you see the tears in my eyes… I know I was wrong. There’s no one better than you Costco, no one. Please take me back…
