The fuel line at busy times is terrible. They should have set it up like Costco. Two cars at a time, fill up at either side. The club itself is fine, but they need to redo the fuel area to accommodate the business of their fuel sales. read more

Management never knows what's going on! Employees are constantly giving wrong information MAJOR time is being wasted. As a result, customers are being inconvenienced! Inaccurate information on their website about items being in stock when they really aren't. Cancelled membership due to discrimination, constant disappointment, and terrible club experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION! Signed up for COSTCOS on the spot with no hassle read more

Just had four new tires installed, I made the appointment last week for 8am so I would be the first appointment. Typically getting four tires about an hour...everywhere but Bjs. The installer strolls in at 8:10, gets my truck. Then while working alone he has to stop to fill two propane tanks for people. The FedEx shows up with a tire shipment, he has to stop to receive them. Somehow, I was there until 10:20...2hrs and 20min for tire install. Another customer showed up as a walk in because the night before they randomly closed the tire shop and hour early, they told him they would squeeze him in after my install and the next one. He was there because his new BJ's tires weren't balanced properly. Then the 10am appointment showed up. So not the walk in is sitting there for 2hrs and was getting bumped for the 10am appointment. The fact that they expect an installer to handle the shop, answer the phone, receive shipments, and fill propane tanks is ridiculous for the employee and even worse for the customer. My wife's truck needs tires and now I have to find somewhere else to buy tires because this place is horrible. No apologies, nothing. Just sit, wait and thank you for your patience. read more

BJ's is a great place to shop. The people are gracious, helpful and regular. They welcome us and do not have grouchy faces as do many customer service people at the other local warehouse, Costco. It is true that the gas area is a bit confusing but the prices are the lowest around if a member with added credit card but you must take it with a grain of salt and wait. Sometimes I am in and out in less than 5 minutes! Other times, you should hang out and pray or something. Again the service people are great...some even singing. The prices and offerings in the store are not as good as the other "C" store and I wish they were but they are catching up and in some cases, lower. They need a little organization and in my opinion, it is enjoyable and less stressful to shop there. I do patronize other stores when I have to but BJ's is a nice store with nice people and recommend it to all. read more

Getting gas here is torturous. Could it be any slower? No. Awful experience. Maybe wise up like Costco and only allow members to get gas. read more

The Howell NJ BJ's is my preferred store. The Employees are helpful and friendly. The store is always clean and organized, making it easy to find my preferred items. read more

I'll give BJs in Howell one thing, they have the best rotisserie chicken deal on the planet - a delicious three pound bird for five dollars. However, that's where the fun usually stops as this location does nothing but hurt my head. Even before you walk in the door the line for gas is chaotic, reminiscent of the last chopper out of Saigon manned by a crew who can't decide if they're awake yet -- stupidity combined with mismanagement is never pretty but at this location it's elevated to an art form. If they were any slower, I could just as easily extract the petroleum from the ground myself. If you think I'm being rough, drop by any Costco for a fill-up, their fueling operation is light years ahead. Inside the club things improve slightly but not much. The produce is decent and in ample quantities but for some reason the powers that be think clogging the aisles with pallets of sale merchandise will delight customers on a busy Saturday with an impromptu game of shopping cart Thunderdome as everyone tries to squeeze through the artificially constricted corridors. Just last weekend I took out the hamstrings of three overzealous shopping zombies with some excellent cutting shears they had on sale for $14.99. And you can all but forget about complaining to management about the eternal logjam... if you can find a warm body they are trained to look right through you with a glazed rictus repeating "I'll have to talk to the home office in Massachusetts." That's okay, you talk to your feckless leaders in Faneuil Hall while I let my membership lapse in New Jersey. The BJ's in Howell just sucks. read more

Love coming here & shopping for all my house needs. Groceries are great & so are the price of goods. I love searching for sales & pairing coupons. As much as I love shopping at Costco I didn't think I would love it here as much but I really do. It's close to the gym & the gas station. A great area to get errands run. read more

The gas station attendants never have all of the pumps open. They seem to enjoy keeping a long line of cars waiting, many with their engines running, adding to more environmental exhaust. But the attendants make sure they have plenty of time to talk and scroll on their phones. read more

Sometimes you do things that you know are going to end badly but you do them anyway because you just want to believe in people. Welcome to BJ's tire shop. The warehouse here is awesome, just to be clear. 4 stars for them. My little girl will be driving soon and I'll be giving her my car. The beast needs a few things before I hand her the keys and tires were on the list. BJs had the best deal on tires I could find. You can shop, purchase, and schedule installation online. It was great!!! Installation went as expected. I dropped the car off and came back when it was finished. I couldn't bear to go through what I went through the last time. No problems and it all went smoothly, until the ride home. The tires were so out of balance the car began to shake at 25 mph, which got more violent as the speed increased. It was frightening and clearly dangerous. I contacted BJs to tell them there was an issue. I had to schedule an appointment a week later so they could fix their mistake which meant I got to drive it like that for a week. Terrifying. They rebalanced and rotated the tires with a little protesting, which I found odd since they were the people that screwed it up. It's still got a bit of a shake which means my mechanic will be making a little extra cash rebalancing their rebalance job. Suddenly their tire deal wasn't such a deal. And to think my little girl will be driving on those tires. Like I don't have enough to worry about. read more

I am here to have my tires rotated and cannot understand how they stay in business. Once again, I am the only customer. The waiting area is dirty, trash can overflowing and the floor is also dirty. Music is blaring out and I just don't have a feeling of confidence. I did not renew my membership. read more

BJ's Wholesale Club - BJS WHOLESALE CLUB IS #1 - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

I like this place. I'd have preferred a Costco here but it's worth having. It's convenient, right on route 9 and very easy to get a parking space. The store has never been crowded any time I've gone there which is always a plus. I don't know how that fact will fare with corporate but that's what it is. Aisles are brightly lit and set up like most of these warehouse/stores. I particularly like the deli, which ironically is usually crowded, and the meat section. Other shopping favorably resembles Sams and Costco. Sometimes you have to wait at the checkout line but they do have a self-checkout section that Costco does not. The cashiers are generally friendly as are the people at the help desk, and the guy who checks your receipt upon leaving the store. read more

I rather go here then Costco. Deli meat prices are spot on and the wait is whatever it is and depends on how lazy I am when I show up-- show up early beat the crowd, show up late your #99 and they are #40! Oh and the Deli is staff is awesome super nice and funny, they make it a great experience. Parking is right out front and easy - however the "minivan drivers" well -- they need to SLOW the hell down! okay it's a parking lot be mindful of people walking. Apple Turnovers are great- they have delish lobster ravioli and the asian or southwestern 1-2 serving kit is far cheaper than any store around! they have a really nice spice section and the frozen section is pretty reasonable- I wish the frozen seafood was a but more reasonable but ya know --its not bad if I budget. The check out counters are right where member services and food is- so REALLY bad planning on that! it gets backed up and traffic jam with carts and all. Am I annoyed they cover the magazines YES! never seen anything like this and I am from CA the land of "never offend anyone roll over and let them walk all over you" so i rarely buy magazines here because I don't have time to KEEP MOVING THE BLACK COVER AWAY to look the magazine covers! ANNOYING AS ALL HELL-- Management though I am sensitive to others preferences - I can't seem to see what is offensive with a watermelon fruit bowl recipe and how to plan your garden for summer. But they play 1980's music so that's about as non-offensive as you can get-- I mean really its the Thompson Twins okay?! Gas prices are cheap and its not huge in islands but no complaints. All in all- I am glad they are here and will continue to shop. read more

Don't bother going to the deli department unless you have at least 45 minutes to kill. Can someone explain to my when the store is open another 3 hours and only 2 people working in the deli that one would be cleaning machines instead of waiting on customers? read more

Their gas station is a hot mess. Never enough pumps open. The attendants there do their best but severely understaffed. It's really not worth the few Pennie's that you save. read more

I had a coupon that I was going to use to sign up for a membership there, but I have completely changed my mind after hearing about the censorship of magazines at this location. The store is catering to the hasidic community in censoring the magazines, which ignores the desires of the majority of the customers. As a new store, this was the completely wrong thing to do. They have angered so many people and others, like me, will not be giving them any money. It seems like they opened in this location solely for the business of the hasidic community, which makes the rest of us feel unwelcome. I am completely disgusted by the whole thing, and anyone who reads through the comment section here will feel the same: http://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2015/01/photo-bjs-wholesale-club-adds-covers-to-magazines-for-more-family-friendly-experience.html read more

I'm very pleased with the BJ's in Howell. The selection and brands are great. I use specific brands and the other big box store doesn't carry them. Method soap and Bounty Select a Size are both sold at BJ's. The food seems very fresh and there is a large selection. I go there later and have never had to deal with lines. There is another BJ's in Ocean too. The magazines don't seem to be covered so everyone should calm down but even if some are you can grab one and read it, there just seems to be a bigger holder so you could pick up the magazine and read it. If you live on the Howell/ Lakewood border you should be aware that there is a large Hassidic and Orthodox population and that will be the target market. If you don't like that go on a Saturday. The Starbucks next door is Kosher and no one seems to complain about that and it's weird so many people would be bothered when this area has been the same for so long. There is another drive through Starbucks a few miles up that isn't kosher so everyone has options. If someone didn't like it and had that much prejudice, move. Pretty shocking in this day and age that people could be so intolerant. read more

Very similar to sams club but it's a great place to shop. It has its own gas station on the outside parking lot. Everything in bulk here, with many departments for other items. It's great here! read more

Ordered a Sandwich Ring for our Super Bowl party & it was fantastic...ready on time & cold cuts were good... wish they had more choices but I made an onion relish to top it with & it made it just like a sub shop...btw the bread on the ring was much better than the 3 ft sub..... Thanks.... read more

Call to asking questions while was in store, no answer, so went to the front, the guy by supervisor desk was on his cell, when I ask about the phone call, he lie to my face, saying he answer it, lol I still have the line still ringing and you can hear by the guest desk. Store don't have much selection, small compare to Costco in Brick, still need cut coupons, waste time just have to get coupon book and cut them. They have overlap coupon date, so be careful wich in-house coupon you have, I found annoy that even Shoprite use digital , and BJ still not catching up, prefer Costco still, if Costco stuff is on sale, they mark it right there And no coupon need it. read more

I will not suggest you to go to this BJ's, other BJs might be better, the staff is not very friendly at all, and the items are overprices if you compare it with Samsclub and Costco, they do not have much variety. If your membership is expired or if you are non-member you have to pay 20% extra. read more

I used to be a member of BJ's until they began censoring content, specifically by placing 'blinders' on widely available published magazines, to become 'community friendly'. This subjective sentiment, along with the subsequent action taken by BJ's has resulted in the loss of this customer. I will remain a customer of Costco as they prefer to honor the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States rather than the special interests of a small percentage of their overall customer base. read more

BJ's covers the magazines at their check-out lines, in a effort to appease the " morality " standards of the local Orthodox Jewish Community. They play " Non Vocal " music as to not offend the same community. In an effort to protect their members " sensitivities " they have trampled you rights of expression and a free press. I won't go back. Also, the package sizes on their produce was a little small. Costco is FAR superior in the produce section, and the Kirkland brand is WAY better than BJ's. read more

The club has odd hours. When other BJs are open to 10 Howell is only open until 9. But the store is nice and new and there is a gas station associated with it read more

Costco is much better! The meats, produce, seasonal selection is better at Costco. The cafe in BJ's stinks. It closes too early and the drink selections are pricey for a wholesale club. It's usually not busy, which is a plus, but sometimes that tells the story. The staff are really friendly. Some things are priced to save you money, but with other things, you are better off shopping elsewhere. read more

Bj's in Howell is awesome! The staff is great deli was quick and awesome customer service. And Matt in bakery was great very friendly, and helpful, he helped me order a cake for a birthday party and also helped put water in my cart great employee! read more

Too bad I couldn't use negative stars...or this would've been more appropriate. Prices for goods are so so, some items are higher in price with smaller packaging than Sam's and Costco some are about the same. However...unfortunately shoppers are exposed to some of the most self absorbed and rude cashiers which makes this probably one of the worst places to shop (unless you're a masochist). Over the last three times we've gone, we have had three different cashiers that feel it proper to treat the shoppers like children or just be down right rude. When a manager was sought the first time, a young man came out and immediately took the side of the cashier without obtaining facts. The next two times, we were politely informed there was a telephone number we could call to talk to the manager the next day. One would think if they really gave a hoot they would come out immediately. I also understand the desires for larger stores to have someone check the receipts/cart. All I have to say is if you're middle-aged and white, be prepared to be receipt raped while they count over and over and over again as they can't keep track of their count the snarky cashiers just put you through hell ringing up. Not. Going. Back. Too bad I can't cash in what's left of my membership, that would be a nice upgrade at another store. read more

The Manager Sean does not represent BJs good customer service. He went out of his way not to help me with my problem. I bought a Samsung tv for 600 plus dollars. Less than 90 days old and it stop working. He told me without a receipt or box I cant help and walked away. Bad customer service. Well I called corporate and they said He handled it wrong and all he had to do was give me corporate number and they will email a copy of my receipt. I eventually found my receipt and got another television. I told him afterwards that that's not the way you treat customers and he said i deal with stuff like this every day. Manager of the year. Sean at the Howell location. I guess cause i was the first issue of the day or was it because the color of my skin Sean the Manager could not help. I will never know but keep your receipts and boxes for everything you buy. If you need help dont go to the Manager Sean. He is useless and should not work there if he cant help the customers. read more

Prices are generally very competitive, however it's a shame that the store finds the need to censor magazines such as Women's Day, etc at the request of "local religious leaders". If the magazines in question were of an adult nature then by all means keep them out of view of young children, but I find it offensive that the viewpoint of a few will dictate the actions of many. What is even more disturbing is when a website dedicated to issues concerning the Orthodox Jewish community encourage calling the store manager, Scott (with a private number) because he is "acommodating". read more

Wasn't expecting much, and left with same impression. If you know your prices, you will see that you aren't getting any kind of deal. Many things are cheaper in ShopRite. I would never pay $50 to be a member. read more

I much prefer Costco, though BJs does have good deli prices. The cost at both stores are similar, but the service at Costco is far superior. At BJs, they have 12 gas lines and typivally less than half of them are open during peak times, resulting in excessive wait times, Also, the staff in the store is just okay. They don't appear to have any sense off urgency and although not rude, they aren't particularly friendly. read more

My husband and I thought we would give the new BJ's in Howell a try. We received a 3 month free trial, which by the way Costco never does. The gentleman that signed us up was not one bit friendly. We felt that the lay out of the store was very scattered. Did buy some clothes which were nice and reasonable priced. We did not feel prices were good, ShopRite better. Went to frozen area to look and was sickened to see they were from India!! Will join Costco even though we have to pay for membership. Costco gives free samples and their store much better. Do not think we will be back. read more
