Sam’s Club

I dont know why people area writting bad reviews. Maybe you were having such a crabby day. The people here are great. This sam’s is never disorganized. Moreover, its always empty and very easy to shop. They do have a lot more samples now especially on weekends. the pizza is great here too. Many customers just go in for the pizza. Gas is cheap of course that is a mighty perk. The only thing i have to agree on, the parking is not great expect to walk. It is next to a real busy Walmart, but again mostly all Sam’s are next to walmart now, so expect to get customers shopping to walmart!

Recieved a fantastic deal on a «Serta luxury pillow top mattress» over the weekend and could not be happier. Awesome mattress and for over $ 100 off the competitors. Definitely worth writing a review about. Sams club also had great customer service and made it extremely easy for me to pick up. Will definitely be renewing my membership after this year. Great deals you really cant find anywhere else.

This is the worst Sam’s Club in the area. I have no idea why. The employees always look miserable, the people working at the customer service desk all seem new because they are completely incompetent and were not able to help me at all (someone working at the Sam’s on Randall Rd helped me easily). The tire center has no one at the desk ever, and they also deliberately put our new tires on the back (so they wear down faster) when our car has front wheel drive and they should have gone on the front, but the guy working there said they aways put them on the back.
Sam’s itself is alright, but this particular one is the worst in the area.

We often buy gas at this Sam’s. However, one must be a member to do so. The gas is usually five to ten cents less/​gallon than other local stations, but the price changes every day. The price at SAMs is also often less than the price at the local Costco. I would suggest that a customer check with «Gas Buddy» (app) to compare local prices on any particular day. Generally we are very happy with SAMs prices.

Bad customer service! Employees with real snippy attitudes like they don’t want to be there. Sorry if you hate your job!!! #GetANewJob

Your typical sams club. Great if you buy items in bulk. Cheaper than department store prices.

Optical dept hell! Everytime you have to work with these people they are annoyed! They tell you ‘whenever’ when you order your glasses. I’ve gotten 3 pairs over the years from these guys & I’ve really had it so I’ve written this review for others. Like rude service — check out the optical dept!

This is for their gas prices only. Just average. Always higher than the gas stations in S Elgin though. Like on my most recent visit (July 18^th, Fri), I filled up at $ 3.59. Then on my way home, I passed a BP in S Elgin at $ 3.41 –_​_​-​”

i was only looking for 1 specific item that i saw at another sams club & they didnt have it here. i was quite disappointed but its still a nice store like all the other locations.

Typical SAMs club; bulk items, competitive pricing and shoppers who don’t know how to drive (or operate a shopping cart). The savings in bulk items is worth it to some. I buy the coffee and Dasani water here.
Over customer care is great. People are nice.

Decent Sam’s club location. They had one in Rolling meadows a few years ago that closed down for whatever reason, I thought it was slightly better than the one here. Low prices and samples as usual. Only downsides are the checkout lines seem to take a long time, and the parking lot is a pain. The gas station is also always packed as expected.

Going to piggy back on what most people are saying (cause it is REALLY oh so true)… this is a nice Sam’s club, however, it shares the parking lot with Wal-​Mart.
You have been warned.
If you can, enter by the tire section, don’t turn by strip mall by Giordano’s. You pull in that way, you are going to be waiting forever to get through the hell that is Wal-​Mart. And don’t go searching for a spot either, just park, walking is good for all of us and lets be honest, gas is really expensive. (Sams Club price is pretty decent though).
Anywho… really nice inside, workers are usually really friendly and during the weekends, samples galore. They are starting to have more specials on certain products and more boxes around to pack your items in if you don’t have bags.
We are currently obsessed with their fresh stuffed salmon dish and for $ 13-​$ 15 for 4 filets, you can’t go wrong.

Just your average Sam’s Club. I visited this location while I was visiting a friend for the holidays. Compared to my local Sam’s Club, this one was about the same. Nothing special.

SAMs club is pretty good but parking is pain

This Sam’s club is really nice… once you get on the inside.
The selection is nice, the prices are comparable, I LOVE their bakery section. They have great samples everywhere (especially on the weekends), but the parking lot is CRAZY.
There are a ton of shady characters outside ((cough-​cough-​connected-​to-​Walmart-​cough-​cough)) and parking is a JOKE. Mainly because people from Walmart park in the Sam’s lot and leave their carts there so they don’t have to walk all the way back, so it’s hard to find a parking spot that doesn’t have a lot of Walmart carts in it.
It can be a bit chaotic, but it’s great shopping for a party!

I’ve been a Sam’s Club member for two years. After doing some comparisons between Sam’s and Costco, I’m fairly certain that Costco is beating Sam’s on price in a number of areas. Even canned goods are cheaper at Ultra Foods next door on sale, and you don’t have to buy huge cans. Combined with really long lines (they never have all the registers open) and the membership fee, I’m not going to renew my membership.

Store review
Food and supplies in bulk sums up your experience at Sams. Although many people find that Sam’s club allows you to save when you buy in bulk, I find that careful review of weekly ads nets you the same product for cheaper. Now you may ask why I even have a Sam’s club membership. I ended up getting one before my wedding in order to stock up on certain products in bulk for the wedding party. That being said, the store is great for the one time buy items which can be super cheap like 60 packs of welch gummies for 3 dollars and other items that cannot be found elsewhere (giant breakfast muffins etc). Overall prices are average and you still need to pay for membership. It is a great place if you have a restaurant or store that you need to load up on bulk goods that you can resell for a profit.
Pros: Bulk goods that are great for selling individual units for profit, one of a kind items that are cheap, wide selection of food products and free sampling of foods. Cheap fast food (hot dog combo, pizza, slurpees!)
Cons: membership fees subtracts from the discount. Long lines on the weekend. No bags to carry your items, but you can use old boxes to store em!
Hidden deals: If you have a home business, you can sign up for 35 dollars instead of 40. Also college students can sign up for cheaper (i forgot the price), but you get a free 15 dollar gift card to offset the cost.

I’m a reformed snob, I admit. I used to have a Costco membership, snubbing my nose at Sam’s Club despite it being FIVE MINUTES from my house. Nay, I’d rather travel half an hour to go to the hoity toity mecca of free samples that was Costco Warehouse. Long story short, I got over it. All of these places sell the same crap. Costco has a few more upscale items but bottom line is if I want a box of 5000 waffles or eighteen gallons of creamer, it really doesn’t matter where I go and if I can drive less, all the better.
The only thing Sam’s Club doesn’t have over Costco, besides a lot of annoying white people, are coupons. Costco has some really outstanding coupons, Sam’s Club doesn’t. But aside from that?
Sam’s Club sells TVs, computers, ground beef by the metric ton and industrial sized sacks of rice. You save a bit by buying volume, most of the time. Beware stuff like soda as you’ll end up paying more than if you just buy it at the grocery store when it’s on sale. Shop smart. Er.

I really like this Sam’s. It’s not in the nicest neighborhood, but they keep the store pretty clean, well-​organized, and the staff is some of the nicest employees at any Sam’s I have ever shopped. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I am also a Costco member and partial to Costco (which typically are in better neighborhoods), but this Sam’s is closer than the nearest Costco, and they have some items here that you can not find at Costco.
They have a different variety of Ziploc brand bags, Egg Beaters brand eggs, a wide variety of reasonably priced wine, decent bakery, a nice variety of baking supplies and seasonings and again, I will point out the good employees.
I won’t shop here at night and I’m not crazy about going there alone, but it’s fine overall.

Awesome prices — check
Half decent selection — check
Good staff — check
97 cent fountain drinks — check
Parking lot full of seedy characters that will probably murder you, wrap you in a filthy blanket, and bury you in a shallow grave if you shop there after dark — double check
Best Sams of the Northwest suburbs, worst location… someone should seriously bulldoze streamwood
