      In February of 2024 I purchased a Pets Pride product at my local Kroger's grocery store. The product offered a money back guarantee should the consumer not be satisfied for any reason on the package. Unfortunately, my dog had issues with this product so I contacted Kroger via a formal letter explaining my dis-satisfaction and a request for a refund, per the advertisement on the packaging. Additionally, I provided my original receipt showing the price I paid for the product and I provided the original packaging which had the UPC code and Lot information. As of today, I still have not heard from them regarding this issue or received the promised refund. I am fairly certain they received my request as I noticed they have added me to their e-mail mailing list and that only happened as I requested to be added to that list through the correspondence regarding the satisfaction guaranteed request. Again, at the beginning of April 2024 I sent a second request and still have not heard from the company! I have attached a copy of my initial correspondence request, a copy of my original receipt and a copy of the product packaging which shows the UPC code and Lot information regarding the specific product I purchased. I am requesting the promised refund of $19.99 per their satisfaction guarantee package label.

      My mother purchased some groceries from food for less using the delivery option under the email ***********************. one of the items was a "Kroger" brand 10- pack of "100% whole wheat tortillas, soft taco size" the tortilla was the only food that I ate that day and upon congestion, I felt my nose get really stuffy, the back of my bronchial tube swell up and experienced wheezing. I believe that the manufacturing of the tortillas contained some kind of toxic such as possible rat poison that caused this kind of reaction. The breathing problem got better 3-4 days later. (Used "Food 4 Less Delivery)

      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Order Number: ******************* Complaint Reference: ********. I ordered groceries through the Kroger mobile app on 4/15/24. At the time of my order, the cost I agreed to pay ($122.14) included discounted pricing on multiple items through Kroger sale pricing and coupons. When my groceries were delivered on 4/17/24, I received a higher receipt total ($136.25), and 5 of the original items I ordered were not included due to being out of stock. They overcharged me and did not honor the pricing and coupons that were included at time of my purchase. This is classic bait and switch, which Kroger does routinely hoping the customers will not notice or complaint about. It's bad enough that Kroger overcharged me and did not honor the prices that were confirmed during check out. But I had to spend my time going over my receipt line by line to calculate the total of $31.61 that was overbilled. Then, I contacted them via chat to ask them to correct the error, and the representative told me to send an email. I sent the email with a detailed accounting of their over billing errors, and received no response or acknowledgement for over 24 hours. So I sent another email asking for immediate action, and still no response or acknowledgement of any kind. At a minimum, I want a refund of the $31.61 they overcharged me. Kroger also needs to address their policy and order system that allows them to routinely steal from customers like this. I should not have to spend my valuable time reviewing my receipt to calculate the amount of theft, begging someone to correct it multiple times, and get zero response, so I must report them to the BBB to get to some sort of recognition! This is completely ridiculous, especially when the cost of groceries is so high many families are unable to afford them. Shame on you Kroger!

      Thank you for contacting the Kroger Executive Office. I am in receipt of your concern that you sent through the BBB.  We appreciate the opportunity to address the customer’s concern with the assistance of the BBB. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or concern caused by this charge.

      Upon checking on the related case regarding on this issue. We already added $45.00 credit on the customer account that they can use on their next purchase. We added credit on the customer account since we can't process a refund go back on the original payment card.

      Using our credit is very easy and convenient to use. It doesn't have an expiration date. For in-store, just provide your loyalty card or ALT ID and let our staff know that you have a credit to use. For delivery, please put a note on the special instructions box so that our shoppers will be notified. For pick up the credit will deduct during the checkout process of your online order. And for Kroger Delivery, the credit will deduct once the order has been complete.

      Rest assured that your comments have been forwarded to our internal management teams to ensure that we are implementing the best practices so that all programs work correctly for our customers.   Your comments have provided us the opportunity to evaluate, address and correct this matter.

      I had scheduled a delivery order for today for 6 AM to 7 AM. I only chose this time because there were limited options available. It is now 8 AM and my order is still not here so I had to get up at 6 AM for absolutely no reason. I am being told that my order is being delayed for at least 6 to 7 hours, but can’t be given an exact time of when it will be here. This is absolutely ridiculous. I have other things that I have to do today. And now I have no idea my food is going to be sitting on my front porch going bad while I’m not home. I paid for my delivery to be here between 6 AM and 7 AM and that’s what time it should be here. There is absolutely no excuse for this and then to not be able to provide an updated time. What kind of customer service is that? Kroger really does not care about their customers.

      well, I would hope that the order has been delivered by now. I’m not saying that I never received the order. I’m saying that it’s absolutely ridiculous that my order was late arriving when I had to pay for a delivery fee and then for them to not even be able to provide me a time that it would be delivered was ridiculous. I wasted half of my day sitting around waiting on this order because I had no idea when it was going to arrive and I had frozen and cold items that needed to be put away. The only communication I received was that there was a delay. That’s not very good communication. I should not have to pay for a delivery fee if the delivery is not going to be here on time.

      Went to the location at 48 ********** place in Jackson TN. At self checkout my ice cream wasn’t ringing correctly, missing $1 off. I asked **** regarding it who had an attitude as if I was bothering her asking for assistance. She rudely said well u have to go to customer service then. I asked why bc things in the past that didn’t ring up correctly was easily fixed. I asked for a manager and she walked away helping others and never called for one. She went over whispering to other co workers standing around , using homophobic slurs. No manager ever came over to speak with. Considering contact to local news regarding this hate crime.

      After carefully reviewing all cases recorded for the customer's concern, it appears that our fraud team and the representatives from the executive office has been communicating with the customer about the store credits that should have been added on their account. On April 18, 2024, with case reference number 68398697, the executive office attempted to call the customer, when no one answered a detailed voice mail was left. An email was sent as well informing the status of their raised issue. Kindly let the customer know that we will be relying on the review that they conducted. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience.

      Regards,

      Hi. My order number is ******************* On April 16 2024, I placed an online order for grocery delivery at Kroger's website. ********* was suppose to delivery my groceries but didn't. The ********* shopper went to a Kroger on **** **** *** ******** ** ***** that was farther away from my home than the 2 Krogers on *** * **** ** ******* ** ***** and Kroger **** * **** ** ******* ** *****. So this caused the ********* shopper to be late. ********* shoppers are paid hourly so they delay deliveries to increase pay. I tried to cancel my order by contacting Kroger online customer service chat because I haven't received my groceries or a refund. The Kroger online customer service agent was no help. Didn't send any email that my order was cancelled. So I don't know if it was cancelled. Thanks.

      We are truly sorry that the customer had to cancel their order due to the experience they had with the delivery. I can see that the customer contacted to have the order to be cancelled as it is taking too long. However, even though the order was cancelled, the order has already a captured amount. Please advise the customer that the issue will be escalated properly and have the order be under review for refund request. Our refund process may take 7-10 business days. The review process may take some time, as we want to ensure that we are implementing the best practices so that all programs work correctly for our customers. Once the review process is complete, we will share the findings and any proposed actions promptly. We truly apologize to the customer for any inconvenience this may have caused. Their comments have provided us the opportunity to evaluate, address and correct this matter.

      Rest assured that their comments have been forwarded to our internal management teams to ensure that we are implementing the best practices so that all programs work correctly for our customers. We welcome their feedback because our customers are essential to our business.

      Kroger has started displaying items with a digital coupon with only the digital price. They do not display the price you will pay if you don’t have a digital coupon. Consequently a customer who is not familiar with digital pricing thinks they are paying one price but when they checkout they are actually paying a higher price. The practice is misleading if not fraudulent. I have registered a complaint at my local store and with Kroger Corporate

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. 
      I am reading into their response that the practice of only displaying the digital sale price will stop. If I find that is not the case, then I will reopen my complaint. I appreciate the timely manner of this resolution by both the BBB sand Kroger
