On July 29 I went to Boscov's just to look around, because that day I had a doctor's appointment and I was early, so I decided to walk around the store, then decided to purchase some item, but when I got to the register next to the candy section, the cashier was having a conversation with a customer, I noticed that the customer already had her items in her hands, but kept having a conversation with the cashier, so I presided to ask the cashier if she was open, because she never acknowledged me when I was waiting. So then she looked at me and looked around and hmm yes, put her hand out and told me in a rude tone you gonna have to wait don't you see I'm with a customer, so I said there was no need to be rude, so she looked at the customer and ask was I rude.
This is very unprofessional and unfortunate. All she needed to say was I'll be right with you once I'm done with the customer. So I decided to ask another cashier if a manager was on duty, she said yes, but I was feeling so angry at that moment that I just couldn't talk anymore, so I ask the cashier if a manager could give me a call so that I could explain, but never received a call.

Third time they charged me a late fee, they took 2 off but this new one really makes me mad. I always mail my bills with a check. I am 72 and I do not use the internet for bills. I called and questioned the late fee and interest and They said it takes around 10 days for the mail to get there since Covid. All my other bills are fine, just them. 10 days to get mail? I think this is their way to get back some of their so called discounts. I will not be using their card anymore. You need to use their card to get the discounts and then you are late? And charged $30.00 late fee. Their customer service is terrible, even going to the store I have to hunt all over to find a register open. Discounts or no discounts I'd rather deal with a reputable store then be constantly aggravated.

I had an eye exam Feb 26, 2026. I purchased eye glasses. At that time I was told it would take 8 weeks to fill the order, the company making the glasses were having problems. I said "Ok" thinking it really wouldn't take that long. Well it is now June 29, 2026, 4 months, and I still do not have my glasses. I was patient in the beginning but now I am furious. After 2/3 months of waiting I asked if I could have a refund and get my glasses somewhere else. I was told "No." If my glasses were not in the process of being made I could not understand why I could not get a refund.
My vision is getting worse and I was going on vacation and needed my new glasses to drive. Which I did tell them hoping they would put a rush on my order. They did not. How can they be so careless with someone's vision! I went on vacation. Am home now and still no glasses. To say they are sorry does not help my vision any or the headaches I'm getting. I can't afford to go buy a new pair because my money is tied up with Boscov's Vision Center.

Came into the Deptford Mall Boscov’s today and found a beautiful collection of clothes. We met two lovely ladies named Anne and Angeline that helped us out tremendously. I do not normally take the time to write reviews but we are so grateful they were able to help us today. Outstanding work ladies!!

I ordered a comforter set from Boscov's online. After receiving it much later I no longer needed it so went to Boscov's in Media PA with receipt in hand. I was told I was unable to return it to the store but instead needed to ship is to the shipping center. After MUCH discussion, the service person could not return it. So when asked if shipping was free to return the answer was no. So after boxing the darn thing up again, taking it to UPS for shipping it cost me $20+!!! Even the UPS gentleman was angry that I just couldn’t return it to the store for FREE. So I am DONE with Boscov's forever.

Boscovs has no clue what their credit card is doing. I bought boho 1/2 price ankle boots, totaled about $80. I'm paying $378.52 to credit card because they don’t do billing. They let it ride. When I called them it got worse!

My experience with Boscov's was great! I ordered 2 Isotoner hats which were not available anywhere else. They were shipped promptly even thought the weather was unusually terrible for an extended period. They are exactly what I ordered, are pristine, and look more attractive than the pictures on the website. The prices were comparable to similar Isotoner hats on other sites. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I received an online order for a pair of Avia sneakers size 10.5 M. They are more like a 9 narrow and did not fit. I have shopped online with them for 5 years. I requested to EXCHANGE for size 11M which they had, even though I've never wore size 11. I was told my only option was to take to post office and pay for shipping which would cost almost the price of the shoes! Total waste of my money. Suggest using a retailer with a FAIR exchange policy for online orders. If you're considering an online purchase from them suggest you go elsewhere! After 5 yrs GOODBYE BOSCOV'S!

I have a instore credit card from Boscov's. I had a late fee of 29.00. I paid it the next month. I got it again. I called. The guy told me my late fee payment was 2 days late so I have to pay another late payment fee. So today Jan 15 I get another late fee. I have made 2 late fee payments. This will be the 3rd time for late fee payments. And now Boscov's store is billing me for 59.00 dollars. I haven't bought anything since September. I will never recommend this store.

Boscov's is ridiculous. Please don't do business with them. I waited 40 minutes to speak with a customer service representative, who then tried to transfer me to another department. It all took more than an hour, and all I wanted to do was return something. Returns for customers who don't live near a Boscov store are antediluvian. I must repack my item in an acceptable box or bag and deliver it to a shipper of my choice. There, I must determine which store sent my item and pay for shipping back to that store. It's all on me. The cost of boxing and shipping is close to what I paid for the item. That's sad, and makes Amazon seem philanthropic.

I've shopped at Boscov's numerous times whether it be for clothing, or furniture, Boscov's is THE PLACE WITH THE MOST HELPFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES whether it is for online purchase or in-store purchases. Boscov's Staff is EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND COURTEOUS and THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ASSIST THE Customer. Boscov's is DEFINITELY MY GO TO STORE for clothing as well as furniture.

So today I was at the Boscov's at the Fairgrounds. This group of foreigners had almost 200 handbags. It was 8:55PM. I had to stand in line for almost 30 minutes waiting as they talked about whatever and pulled each handbag. There were 3 of them and 200 handbags. You know they are selling these online or in NY. That should be illegal first of all and second, the manager just stood there. She did not assist the cashier at all. We had to wait 30 minutes, way past their closing time.
By the time I did get to the cashier, I was annoyed. I asked if I could use my military discount and 15 percent coupon. Some snarky white haired meanie came over and said NO! She was nasty and not nice. This was after the group of foreigners just took off with 200 handbags. No one was snarky to them. This is not the first time that those women were nasty. About 6 months, I had another manager say something ugly. I had to tell her off too. Their customer service at that Boscov's is awful. They stink and very disappointed. Go to another Boscov's.. Don't go to Fairgrounds unless you want to buy 200 handbags and can't speak English!

I made the lives of the shipping people at the Birdsboro PA warehouse a little complicated, by realizing I had ordered a wrong mattress size at the last minute and exchanging it just before my home delivery was about to happen. First my home delivery was cancelled timely, without muss and fuss (or extra fees) in such a manner that the salespeople at the store could start over and order the new mattress. Second, an employee named Donna troubleshooted before the trouble happened, realizing without my asking that the pillows and sheets that were supposed to come along were lost in the exchange, and reordered them so that I would get everything together. Nice work, Donna and Birdsboro crew!

The items there are very nice and the clothes are nice and cute too but kinda expensive if no discount. I would only go if the stuff was on sale. My biggest problem was the staff. Some of them were just plain rude. My child was looking at toys and picked up a ball and bounced it a few times and when she went to put the ball in the cart a employee came up and yelled at my child "don't bounce the balls or I will get security." Then when I went to check out my child did a little jog to go look at something quick and a different employee yelled at my child "no running!" I have read other reviews about employees being rude so I just wanted to say this to let Boscov's fix their employee problem.

Our experiences with Boscov's Customer Service at the York, Pa Store has been consistent. In other words there isn’t any Customer Service! For that matter there isn’t any service at all, with one exception, the “Mens Department”…see below. We rarely write reviews of any kind, but this is an attempt to have what is a huge problem corrected or we will (like many others) take out business elsewhere.
As your customers (speaking for ourselves & the countless unsatisfied reviewers across the country) what we experience from your employees (with the exception of the Men’s department, York, Pa Store) is they are extremely rude, condescending and unwilling to help. They present miserable, hating their jobs, so as a Customer all you want to do is get out of the building, even if you weren’t finished shopping.
They actually tell you they can’t help you, go to a different register, I don’t know how to do that, then offer no help, etc. There is no hint of a smile when it’s finally your turn to checkout, no greeting (can I help you, thank you for shopping at Boscovs), no eye to eye contact, absolutely ZERO engagement & ZERO help. Sure they check you out but that is the extent of their willingness to do a good job. They actually sneer at you if you ask a reasonable question. We’ve read a ton of reviews and many of your Customers agree…they’re are not coming back. So apparently the problem goes all the way to the top.
It would benefit your store greatly to hire people who actually want to work before you have no customers left. Time after time we go into your store and it’s virtually empty, that is taking into consideration how large it is and the location. You should remember, Camp Hill shopping, Harrisburg area shopping, Lancaster shopping, Maryland area shopping all have other department stores that are a hop, ship & a jump away from York. We all can go there to do our shopping. It’s obvious a ton of money was spent to update your York store, now it would be wise to update your Customer Service etiquette.
Just in case it’s important to you as a owner: Etiquette Defined— Customer service etiquette encompasses the polite and professional conduct expected when interacting with customers. It involves treating customers with respect, showing empathy, and providing helpful and efficient service. Key elements include active listening, clear communication, and finding solutions to customer issues while maintaining a positive and professional attitude.
Take lessons from the wisdom of the Gentleman in the Mens department, they know how to treat a Customer and they’re consistent in doing so! As outlined in the definition above, they do a fantastic job! We have no affiliation with ANYONE in your business, nor any bias against or for anyone. We’re simply speaking the truth about our experience over a period of a few years.

As a first-time shopper at Boscov's online, I didn't know what to expect. The dish set I was looking at was more pricey on other stores' websites, so I took a chance on this family-owned business rather than paying more to a corporation.

I cannot believe the management at this store! There is a woman named "Z" working in the make up dept who is rude and incompetent. I have complained about her multiple times and always try to get someone ELSE in the dept to wait on me. She actually came AT me, waving her hand in my face saying "You don't have the right to have who you want wait on me!" and "You should go somewhere else!" The manager TODAY came at me, Pat ** is her name, telling me the same thing!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!

I got this bracelet as a gift for my daughter's birthday in May 2024. August of this year 2024 she had put the bracelet on but later not knowing that it had fallen off because she found the bracelet on the living room rug. When she picked it up she saw that it was broken. I took it back to Boscov's only for them to tell me that it would cost me another 98.00 to repair it. I paid for the BOSCOERAGE but it will not cover it to be fixed. I feel like I most definitely have been taken advantage of. I feel that I was taken advantage of because this clearly is not quality jewelry. I am so disappointed and I have been a customer for YEARS. Now I'm stuck with no gift for my daughter and the bracelet is worthless.

First order online with this company. The store didn’t have my size. So I ordered online. Got my order and they sent me the wrong size even though the order and the shipping receipt had the correct order size, the product size was wrong. Call expecting them to say, "We are sorry, let us fix it." Nope. I was on hold almost 30 minutes. Get a person. She is asking questions about my order then she hangs up on me. So I call back. Wait another 15 and I get a lady who treated me as if I got the order wrong. In the end, I had to pay for a new order. To get my money back from the first order I have to take the product to the store. The store for me is an hour away. I will not shop at this store again. They treat their customers terribly. Oh and I have to wait another 10 days to get my new order. Hopefully they get the size right.

Requiring us to use your credit card for getting a bigger discount, this is what was one of the biggest downfalls in your business that lead the PENNSYLVANIA TAX PAYERS bailing you out. Hopefully our government now will not follow the past bad act of bailing you out. CASH or a credit card not affiliated with Boscov's gives you the BEST purchasing power and NOT Giving you BIGGER Chance of higher DEBT. Have you learned anything from your past, I GUESS NOT.

I wasn’t sure how I was charged without actually submitting the order (I changed my mind last minute) but now I see I’m not the only one who had that happen. Never got a confirmation email either.

They do a good job by keeping their price down but once the purchase was made, you're stuck with it. The dimensions didn't match what was advertised online.

We picked up a heavy duty recliner for a friend that has dementia. I picked it up at the Boscov's Plymouth meeting store, the young gentleman was very helpful in getting it into my truck. We purchased the 5-year warranty, and within a week there was an issue with the motor. We are not completely sure if it was error on our friend's part in the way she operated it but called customer service to get a motor. I believe the woman's name was Jeannie, she was the best, so helpful and resolved the issue immediately. I was able to pick up another chair in exchange the next day.

Those attempts needs to be cleared off your account or updated with Paypal customer service team at 1.888.221.1161." PayPal is saying that the merchant needs to cancel the transactions on their end. I am asking the Boscov's chat agent to stay connected until this is resolved.
