Boscov's Reviews

Horrible company to do business with. What a nightmare. I paid off the account and they are so desperate to keep charging for nothing. Steer clear of their cheap overpriced merchandise. It's not worth it.

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. Went to UPS to return, the return cost was on me, they don't pay for it. Customer service has no clue what the return address needs to be. The address they gave me is non existing. I emailed them 4 days ago and no response. I will stick with Amazon that honors their returns and shopping at the store where I know what I get and I can return anytime at no additional cost. Boscov online shopping is a joke.

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. She offered to deliver it as a courtesy. It's so rare to have a customer service agent that cares like she did.

I would rate them zero stars if I could. I bought a pair of sneakers online. They sent me a totally different pair from what is pictured. In the photo attached you can see that brown and white shoes were ordered. They sent completely white shoes of a different style. For me to return them I need to pay the return shipping. There is no store anywhere near where I live. They are very misleading and deceptive and refuse to admit their mistake. I’ve read many other reviews of them also sending the wrong item. Do not buy anything online from them!

Like many others, I was TRIPLE charged for an item I ordered. Two charges were posted to my PayPal account before I actually placed the order. The Boscov's chat agent advised "I see that you ran all three attempts at placing an order through Paypal. 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.

There are so many sales desks for there to me -2 employees. They are nowhere to be found. I have to all around the store to find someone that works there, finally I gave up and went to check myself out and I can’t even scan my things because the place to scan is so small. I’m almost done and then it says I need an employee to check one of my items, how am I supposed to do that when no one is around?? There are two people working at the help desk both helping one person so I say I need assistance and the one lady is like “I can’t do that” like do you work here or not? So I wait for both of them to finish the one person instead of the one that can actually do their job to come over and the other to finish helping the person I have to wait and all they had to do was type a number in, no security tags or nothing. I like Boscovs and their things they sell but this is ridiculous trying to check out.

Hello everyone. If you don't mind buying things that have no warranty then by all means go ahead and get your glasses at Boscov's. I made the mistake of making an assumption that if you buy a pair of glasses you have some kind of warranty. I just purchased a nice new set of glasses, less than 2 months ago, with polycarbonate lenses that are supposed to come with scratch resistant coating. I've had glasses all my life and I have dropped them before. These ones fell off my truck seat onto my floor mat and immediately scratched so I took them back to Boscov's only to be told there is no warranty unless you purchase it separately which I was not advised of when I bought the glasses.

Placed an order online. I open the box and the wrong item is in the box. The correct packing slip for my order is in the box but I ordered a Christmas decoration and received a set of cooking pots. Clearly they have a quality control issue. I then attempt send an online response to them using their web interface. Think they have it setup for online orders, think again. I have to pick a store. Same is true if you call them, pick a store. I didn't order from a specific store, I ordered online!

Such a nice place to shop. Never had a negative experience. Workers are always friendly, and so helpful. The woman in gift wrapping was so considerate to my needs. I needed odd shaped boxes.. and she took the time to choose just the right ones for me. I appreciate good customer service, and she certainly provided it!

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.

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.

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.

Worst customer service I have ever encountered. Discovered that when you call customer service about credit card payments, you are actually talking to Comenity Bank, the credit card company. Is there a rating less than 1 star? Can I give a negative rating? I WILL NEVER GIVE BOSCOV'S ANOTHER DIME OF MY MONEY.

Here is my story: In Sept 2020 I stopped by at Boscov's Optical in Media PA to purchase reading glasses. I admit, I was enticed by their advertisements of buy two pairs for $99.99. It was a big mistake… There is no such thing of 2 pairs for $99.99. It is a total scam. I figured that I would give it a try, I ordered two reading pairs and two sunglass pairs. I paid for expedited shipping so I can get them early. Again a big mistake. One of the pairs took over 5 weeks to get in. I was not refunded the money as COVID was the blame. So in October 2020 one pair came in and it had the wrong frame. They sent it back and few more weeks pass by and I am getting the pair just to realize the glasses I received weren't mine.

I purchased a very beautiful wall clock, for a much lower price than I see in other department stores, or hardware stores. When I unboxed the clock, I understood the low price; the clock is damaged, but working perfectly, the damage is difficult to see. Do I return this for a replacement? Not worth the time or cost. The clock matches my home's decor perfectly; so, why exchange it?

Boscov's typically has a good selection of footwear for men & women. Love that I am able to easily return any that do not fit or I do not care for directly without hassle to the store!

I purchased items online from Boscov’s. I wanted to exchange a pair of shoes because of size. I called Boscov’s to get a prepaid return label which their policy said return shipping would be waived if you called them. When I called I was told to return shoes to a Boscov’s store or return at my expense & reorder proper size. That would mean I would have to reorder & pay the shipping fee unless I ordered more items totaling $59 to get free shipping. What a racket!! I love Boscov’s but will think twice before ordering online again!

I went shopping with a friend of mine last night. We were in the shoe department making our final purchases. The lady would not accept my friend's signed, credit card without an ID. I do believe this is because we are **. In my many years of shopping, this has never been a problem. She acted like we were common thieves. Will not be shopping at Boscov's again. The items my friend purchased, prior to this incident will be returned today!

Always have the shoes that I like. Always have the wallet that I need. Also in a convenient location from my home. Always have sales person available when checking out. Sales are terrific. Much lower than any other store around....

Many of us seniors LOVE OUR BOSCOV'S stores! Boscov's offers varied and quality merchandise at very affordable prices, far below that of other department stores. Everything we need for our personal clothing needs, housewares and home furnishings, decor items and culinary items can be found. Their sales and special purchases are unbeatable. Friendly and courteous service associates, with no hassle returns is a huge plus!

I placed an order for 6 pair of the same style socks. Confirmation order was received & my credit card was charged for 6 pair of socks. Bag received with one pair of socks. No notice included indicating partial shipment. Email notice for Boscov...ORDER completed. Four over 45 minute calls to customer service only to be disconnect after 45 minutes. Sent email citing shortage of 5 pairs of socks. With computer generated response that I would be contacted in 24 hrs which never happened. Second shipment with 3 pair of socks again no enclosed notice as to when the remaining 2 pairs would be received. Order Completed. Another email from Boscov ORDER COMPLETED. Unbelievable!!! I sent an email asking for a refund for the 2 pair of socks. Again computer generated response that I would be contacted in 24 hrs. Again it has not happened. This company should be investigated.

These ** should be kicked out of business right away. Bought two slippers with them. The size chart says M for US 8.5-9.5. When it comes it is only less than US7. Super small and unable to wear. Also it takes three weeks to arrive. First item to order in Thanksgiving but last item to receive.

Ordered work shoes online from Boscov's last Friday. Paid $9.95 to ship them as we didn't hit the minimum order for free shipping. Got an email with a tracking number. Tried tracking Sat, then Sun, then Mon. Said status pending. Called to find out what was going on. Was told that Fedex doesn't pick up until Monday. I asked what Fedex shipping method they used. Was told Standard. There is no Fedex Standard. I asked if it that meant 2 day; they didn't know. They told me to track it again on Tuesday. I did. It said delivery Friday. 8 DAYS after I placed the order. They didn't have his size in the local store. I would have been better off just driving an hour away to get them at another store. Not shopping online with Boscov's again ever.
