Worst customer servie
November 25, 2024

Spent $9.95 for 4-5 day shipping in online checkout. Package sat for a week with usps label generated for it until they handed it off to them. Customer service told me 7-10 days is normal even though checkout online said 4-5. Paid $9.95 and waited almost two weeks for delivery.

Boscov's has been holding my money hostage in my bank account for 3 days now with a $93.86 charge that is pending while I have not ordered /purchased anything from them online. I have called them numerous times, customer service acts like they're idiots and they have no clue what I'm talking about I was told that it would drop off within one or two days here it's going on the 4th day and it's still being held in my account. They're starting to make themselves look really bad. I have called my bank but there's nothing they can do because it's still pending. I feel that boscov's is holding my money hostage. Be very careful of their website I looked on the website and now I've been charged $93 just for looking.

I have made many purchases in the past but I will never again because of all this bull hockey.

False information
December 5, 2022

On the back of the packing slip it is stated 'If you call us for assistance in placing the exchange order, we will gladly waive your standard shipping fee; Boscov's ships most exchange merchandise at no additional shipping cost."
Yeah right! Try getting through to talk to someone other than a clueless operator. The one time I managed to speak with someone, she seemed unqualified, and stated a total of $27.47. I answered "for exchanging an item?" She then proceeded to transfer me where I again waited and counted the cobwebs.
11 calls and numerous emails and still no resolution.
No more. Boscov's can go the way of other retailers who pay lip service to customer service.
Lesson learned.

Christmas ornaments
November 21, 2023

I recently went to my local Boscov's and I saw Rudolph ornaments. The sign said $6.49 Rudolph ornaments. I grabbed 4 and went to check out along with a couple other things. The cashier rang out the ornaments and 3 of them rang up $18. I said that is not correct. I spent $71 when it should have been no less than $30-$40. If there were selective ones, then they all should not have been together on the display because I should have gotten them for the sale price.

Unbelievable
December 2, 2022

I'm writing this review to warn other people about Boscovs shady practices. I've made a few purchases at Boscov's this year the first purchase came damaged and they agreed to refund some of the money and put it back in my account when I looked in my account the discount was not applied it was taken out of my account. One order that I place not only did it take forever to get here but they charged me the wrong price of course it benefited them. Then I look in my bank account almost 2 months later and Boscov charges me for a purchase I never made. I would say I'm happy with the product but the service is terrible.

Bought a piece of their luggage online. It came in a damaged box but that wasn't the problem. The luggage is too big to check. It's external measurements are greater that is allowed on most airlines. They advertised it as being 31" which would have worked but in the small print which I didn't see it says it's 32.5" which doesn't work. The airline may or may not let it be checked. I decided to return it but the shipping cost to return it is $85! I called and asked them to send me a shipping label and deduct it from my refund and they absolutely refused. They must train their customer service folks hard to be as heartless as they are. This is also after punching ********** to by pass the AI that doesn't want you to speak to a human being. Now that I have read the reviews it all makes sense. If you are an online store and you are unwilling to work with customers about returns then you have no business being in business.

Was contemplating an online order...went to review the order but found a better price on a different site but was somehow still charged by Boscov's despite not actually submitting the order. Called customer service and they basically said that this is normal practices and I should expect my money back in 3-5 days. WTH? No other company in this country actually takes your money BEFORE submitting an order. Now, I'm forced to use MORE money to buy what I wanted from the other website. This is the shadiest experience I've had with an online retailer. I will NEVER attempt to order anything from this place...EVER AGAIN. Now I see why the customer experience ratings are so low.

Fast Shipping and great product and price!
December 30, 2022

I was not sure if the Brookstone Massage chair would be ok after I read reviews. I was very concerned. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. It came packaged perfectly and brand new in the box. Took it out and it works amazingly. I bought it for 99.99 plus tax. On the Brookstone website it was listed at 249 and Amazon was 300. So I took my chances and sometimes when it seems to good to be true it usually is. Not this time! I was truly Blessed! Thank you Boscovs! I will shop with you again in the future!
