This review is concerning me on my way to the dressing room, the clerk thought I was coming to the desk to check out, and she says I need to go to another check out, another person that was with me says the clerk starting waiting on another person right away. When I came out of the dressing room I went to another desk but no one was there, had to go over to shoe department to get checked out. I told the clerk there he said that was not very nice. I shop at this store couple of times a month and this is the second time something has happen this year. I won't be coming in much anymore. I feel like some of these ladies are prejudice. Ladies in the cosmetics are wonderful, sweet, need to switch them

Buyer beware. The online shopping experience is a nightmare. The website is completely outdated and difficult to use and order status updates seem to be nonexistent. Multiple orders were cancelled without cause and one even without notification. The gifts ordered never processed and therefore never made it to the recipient in time despite my card being charged. After going back and forth with rude CS agents over the phone I gave up and ordered elsewhere and would encourage you do to the same. This entire ordeal was a waste of time and I will not be shopping with this store online or in person ever again.

    Was contemplating an online order...Went to Review Order Page but found a better price on a different website 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. It's now evident why their customer experience ratings are so low.

    Store staff were very difficult about returning an item without receipt. I was offered return for store credit (after I had to repeatedly ask about the store’s return policy if you didn’t have the receipt). Originally I was told I would receive lowest price item ringing up was $19.10 but oddly when they scanned the item for store credit it rang up as .99 cents for an item originally marked $49.99. This struck me as very odd as just a few minutes prior the item rang up at $19.10. This was a 2 piece trademarked Dr. Seuss pajama set with tags. Sales desk clerk insulted me by saying they no longer had any in stock in the store and the item could have been purchased from last year. Entire experience was insulting and a waste of my time.

    The product purchased had an inferior seam fall apart on the pant leg the very first time it was worn for a work theme party. It was embarrassing and clearly a very poorly made product. Boscov's is clearly not concerned with customer service, standing behind quality of merchandise they sell, or maintaining return policies similar to other large chain department stores. Very disappointed with this entire experience. Although I am certain my husband paid more than $19.10 for this product, I would’ve been fine with that credit, however these switch to 99 cents was suspicious and questionable business practice,

    I bought KitchenAid® Stainless Steel 10pc. Stainless Steel Cookware Set online via PayPal for $79.75. They took the money and a few days later I get an email they canceled my order. I went and looked to see if they didn’t have it anymore and they are selling it now for $169.99. What a scumbag thing to do. I will never shop at Boscov’s ever again!

    We have shopped at Boscov's for the last 4 years since we moved to Ballston Spa, NY. My husband is a veteran and we were told that they had a veteran's discount at their store. We were also told that I, his wife, could take advantage of their sales. My daughter also used his veteran's discount and "thanks for your service" always followed our exchanges. Today, I went to Boscov's in Clifton Park. My husband recently had knee replacement surgery and was unable to travel so he gave me his card. The manager, so she said, told me I could not use his card today. I'm in my mid-70's and drove from Ballston Spa to Clifton Park to shop there. I asked to speak to the manager and she said she was it. I couldn't use it. She was rude and dismissive. I was shocked. For the last 4 years, I had used it. We only went to Clifton Park 3 times a year so it wasn't like we overused it. I will never return to Boscov's after this experience.

    Store 72 in Newark Delaware convinced me to Never shop at this company again. I went buy some blouses and pants for spring. The first associate said I don’t speak no English and walked away. When I told her supervisor she acted like so what. The cashier was rude and disrespectful. I called corporate they were no help. The store manager said half the store called out so associates are just upset. She was even rude. She said we have several people that go speak no English. I am done with it them. They are the worse company in Delaware!

    I ordered a comforter that was supposed to look like beige tweed for my rustic bedroom and what I received was a beige comforter with purple squares.... It's ugly and has ruined the look of my room.... They will not let me return it or give me a refund.... I do NOT recommended shopping at this deceitful company.

    I ordered 7 fragile items online. It took WEEKS for the items to get to me. When they did, the outside shipping box was damaged. I noticed that the company cut down the sides of the box, which weakens the integrity. 2 of the items were damaged. I called in to the 800#. My first hold, approximately 5 min, was met with a customer service agent, who asked me all about me, the order, the problem, etc. Only to transfer me, which took 20 min for them to answer. When they did answer, I had to go through EVERYTHING again, as nothing transfers from the first agent.

    I told them the problem and they informed me that their policy is that I will have to wait for THEM to receive reimbursement of the damaged items before they will ship me a replacement order. Unless I want to PAY for a new order PLUS shipping?!?! The box will not be claim settled by Fedex, as they cut down the sides of the box. The Supervisor of the agent came on and basically called me a liar, saying they would never do that and they need proof! I emailed the pictures, but at this point am not only out the Valentine's gift, but am out the money! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

    Ordered two tops, tried them on immediately, didn’t fit. Packing slip list an address to return to. No return label. Nothing provided to facilitate a return. Sent an email. No response. Called, 15 minutes later still no answer. Spent a lot of time over three days trying to contact this company. No way to contact them on the weekends. Took my package to UPS. To mail it back, $15.00. That’s about 35% of what I paid for the items. One of the worst experiences I’ve had with a company in a long, long time. Never again. I will do everything I can to tell anyone I know about this company and advising them to never buy from this company.
