Most of the time Boscovs employees are very personable but once in a while......
Long story short, I had purchased $200+/- of Children's clothes for Christmas gifts. 1/2 came via online order the other 1/2 came from a stop into a store. These purchases were originated a few days apart. Just after my online order arrived, I received a message that most of the purchases I made had been drastically reduced in price. Some items as much as 50% off what I paid. I called the store to see if I could find out the policy regarding
Matching the new prices. I was put on hold for a rather long hold time.( about 10 minutes) When the service rep came back on line, I explained my question. I was told I'd have to check with the manager, that she thought " some people" might just return it to the store if the manager wouldn't correct it. I also asked why I was left on hold while she answered another call and handled that matter while leaving me on hold. She told me that she was the only one there and did I really wait that long.
I returned to a Boscovs, went to the courtesy counter, after picking up a few other items for purchase. Lovely associate there helped me get price corrections, return unwanted items for a credit and purchase a couple of additional items.
I believe there may have been an item or two that was intended for return that was put aside a customer service but failed to be credited back to my credit card. Unfortunately, I have no proof that anything I returned was no properly credited. As I left those goods there that day, I am not certain. Because the customer service line was short of staff while I was there, I left without reviewing before leaving. It wasn't until I got home and realized that the total refunds did not represent my total returns.
Overall, A good bit of agrevation for what should have been able to have been corrected another way. I still like Boscovs, not sure I will shop online again anytime soon because you reply discounted merchandise and could have had a well trained service person review the purchases and granted me a gift card or another type of credit without me having to come back to the store.
Anyway, live and learn.
Next time, I will ask for a supervisor on a phone call who hopefully will know the options for resolving the 1st concern rather than telling me what she does not know.
#2 I would have carefully reviewed the credits redeemed to me for reduced prices and returns rather than leaving prematurely because you were understaffed at that customer service station.
I will be very careful should I need to have a correction or make a return in the future.
I will close by saying while I was still in the store that day, I purchased other gifts for Christmas spending another $150 There.
I am not sure if I will continue shopping there as far fully as I have up till now.
