Chewy.com is not longer the good company they were.
26Jan2024-I had been a $600.-700.00+ monthly auto ship Chewy.com customer since Summer 2018, almost 6 years. I chose Chewy because they did have a good reputation and carried the Orijen dog chow I could not obtain locally. Over past 2 years, this last year being the worst, their dependable, timely service decreased and now no longer exists. I may get one bag within 3-4 days another one or two bags a day or two or a week or longer later. The auto date you choose they move up by 2-4 days which can be an inconvenience. It’s been over 6 months since returning a product, there has been no money refunded to my credit card. They were contacted about the issue, no response, which is not unusual. Their auto ship membership prices had also increased, no longer representing a savings over other retailer’s store prices. After times speaking with the manager of our local PetSense found 4 months ago they began stocking Orijen and insure no less than the 5 large bags I need are on hand the first of every month. In addition I receive a $ off my purchase as reward every month and every 10th bag is free (a $120.00 savings). I’ve gone back to buying the Purina/Friskies and 9 Lives cat chows I need from Walmart. The only thing I order from Chewy now is 3 bags of Journey puppy chow, which may also stop, and if I need replacement parts for elevated pet beds or if they have a cost effective sale on reflective collars or pet clothing. My orders for this month were again spread out, received over 2 weeks with winter weather not being a factor. The convenience of delivery is not worth sacrificing the health and welfare of my rescue pets or the unnecessary addition expense of being forced to buy and feed what is not their established diet.
