Non English comprehending customer service by freaking foreigners for expensive clothes makes owner look low class and super greedy. Sheryl call me. If you stand behind your product get US reps!
I spent $18o to take a dress home for my moms 85th Bday. I got home and was told after a year of searching and the SBI searching for my niece that she had passed in the hospital alone from RSV.
I got to my moms at 630 and got call at 8pm. I called our lifelong friend who owns the funeral home, he grew up with her and loved her. He promised when the SBI was trying to locate her if it was bad that he would bring her home to us. Devastation, burying her.
She only had me and my mom. But I got her home and buried her next to my sister and her baby brother. I came back home a week or so later and realized Sheryl had restocked the A line crystal dress again and ordered the 14 because my niece also loved crystals and these dresses running so small I ordered larger size. It was my favorite.
I waited and by Monday the 9th it had been too long. I called to BP to of course getting a broken speaking non America, in Philippines about a 180$ dress. Guess what. They say it was delivered and send pic to my email.
I drove my entire neighborhood in a blur to realize BP uses the economy version of FedEx and it was at somewhere! I cried for 2 days. I kept calling FedEx to finally have the guy hearing my desperation to tell me, I googled your address and thats a stucco smooth tan in the picture with your package! Your house is not this house.
Again I am so sick about it that Im not wanting to deal with this nightmare. It took a yelling match not once, twice talking to Vanessa asking for a replacement not a refund. Of course she wins and just refunds saying there is no more.After the nightmare refund Im told keep checking back they may have a return. Around 4pm on Friday the 13th( go figure) I look and they have a 16 YES!
A 16. Oh well i jumped on so fast ordered and sent photo to my friend to get her on board to help me take it in. I am a size 8/10 loose. After placing my order I was told by my pro friend that the crystals in lines would be off center.
I said I will find a dress for her memorial with crystals because Angel (her real name)loved them too.I called back to BP at 6pm 2 hours later to cancel order. Again argued with Vanessa again due to her saying she needed 2 days which would be today. I said no you don't, I just ordered it. She said she couldnt cancel it so I called our bank usaa and had to stop payment on my payment!
I
woke up sat morning and checked and she had sent it thru and it was waiting carrier pick up not shipped. Today! Monday it was shipped!!! Why does this have to be so hard.
I do know that there needs to be something done. I am sick about this but after all the heartache over the dress I just felt I didnt want it anymore. I will find something comparable. @ Sheryl Clark.I respected how nice BP was when you were in Bradenton.
When things soured it was very noticible. The customer service sucks so bad especially to hear my name spoke so broken.I have spent $1000 in 3 weeks to be talked down to, same foreign country handling my info as if it werent bad enough having the fedX ground ECONOMY per them to misplace my 180 dress! I think us American ladies deserve more. Vanessa needs to go home.
You could do better.
Sheryl C, you have my number. Sincerely Sheryl V

Resolved: Trying to exchange not working on site
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They answered the phone which was my number one initial problem.
I was refunded for what I returned and I exchanged my other items. Now I know if I do order there, I have to order on the bigger size because I think it's made in china
Should be here for such crazy prices. I tried exchanging on the site and it wont let me! I tried calling 1 number that just rings and rings and other with constant busy signal. Again for these high prices, someone should be available.
I used to love this store. What happened?

Resolved: Poor Customer Service
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. It took several phone calls, but the company finally refunded my money For the item that was missing, despite the fact that they never alerted me that the item was discontinued. It took several phone calls to convince them to refund my money, otherwise I’m not sure what they would’ve done if I would not have initiated this complaint.
User's recommendation: Know there is a risk you will be charged but will not receive your items

November Catalogue
I just received the November 2024 catalogue. Usually I can find a number of tops, outfits and sweaters.
What a total disappointment. All the clothes looked cheap and tacky. What happened? Was there a turnover of Buyers for the company?
Very sad!
The tops look flimsy and they are charging $50.00? Nonsense!!
User's recommendation: Look elsewhere.
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. It’s unfortunate to hear about your dissatisfaction with our November Catalog.

Hit or Miss Quality and Customer Service
I have ordered numerous items from this store, and have seen the quality dwindle over the years. The last order was by far the worst.
They sent me untagged, USED clothing! The top was worn, washed/faded, and the matching shorts smelled like cigarettes! Are you kidding? How did these items make it through as a return?
I'm done with this company. It is clear they are cutting corners, but selling used clothing at full price is tacky.
- There are now selling used clothing at full price
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Know there is a risk of poor quality with this company

Order cancelation
There was no connection at the telephone number provided. There were only clicks & buzzing sounds.
Meanwhile, the website Boston Proper uses for online orders has a serious flaw, or maybe it's designed purposely to trick customers into ordering without their full consent. Once the option to REVIEW items placed in the shopping basket, and if that button is pressed (to "review only), it automatically submits the order. You then receive is a "order received & is being processed" acknowledgement. It's a trick & customer service refuses to delete or refund the order to your credit card.
They claim to not have the capability. After having to demand to speak with a supervisor, she, too, refused to delete the order. I have to wait, get the delivery, return it & wait for my credit to my credit card with a total wait time of 30+ days. I told them that I merely wanted to REVIEW the items, NOT purchase..yet.
It didn't matter.
I am livid BEWARE.TRICKED.DECEPTIVE ORDERING SYSTEM. BP HAS A SCAMMING ONLINE ORDERING SYSTEM.
- Clothes are decent
- Online ordering system has a serious flawed
Preferred solution: Full refund
Hello, When placing an order online, you need first to select your items and add them on your shopping bag, afterwards you have to enter your payments information before submitting the order. We do not keep credit card information for security purposes.
Once the order is placed our System process is fast that usually we are not able to modify or cancel an order placed. However, when a customer call to call center, we can submit the request to cancel, but is not guaranteed we can stop it form shipping.

Order cancelation-tricked by "review" tab.
The website at Boston Proper is rigged. The "review" tab, when browsing for items (and placing them in your shopping basket) is rigged to process orders instead of allowing you to review them, as the tab indicates.
Review means order and there is no recourse when customer service is contacted about this trick. They claim to not have the capability to correct the trick.
It's awful and I have closed my account, yet BP says the account must stay in their system for audit purposes. It's a trick tab...BEWARE.

No Customer Service
I ordered some clothes from Boston Proper. I was satisfied with the quality of the clothes, but the fit wasn't right.
There was no exchange/return label included in the package, there were no instructions how to return/exchange. I went on the website and the instructions on how to return/exchange were not clear. Nobody answers or responds if you call their customer line. For a mail order company that seems to be reputable, I have never seen worse business practice.
You HAVE to be able to return/exchange if mail ordering. I like their inventory but I will never order from them again.
- Clothes are attractive
- It is like dealing with a scam company
- No customer service
Preferred solution: Nothing now
User's recommendation: Do no buy from this company

Online order
So I ordered over $2000 worth of clothes for a vacation. I am taking in the next four days.
Selected one business day shipping and when they processed my payment, it was switched to 3 to 7 business days.
I immediately called them and they said theres nothing they could do even though it wasnt my fault. I asked them to cancel my order then because I wont need the clothes since Im going out of town and they refused to cancel my order
User's recommendation: Don’t buy from there
Good morning Megan, I understand you already spoke to our Sr. Customer Experience Manager about your concern and you shared that instead of selecting express shipping you mistakenly selected the shop pay option which removed you express shipping you added We value all our customers and appreciate the feedback and our Sr.

"Dear Sheryl, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your niece. We deeply empathize with the difficult time you’re going through, and I’m truly sorry that your recent interactions with us have added to your frustration.
At Boston Proper, we strive to provide a seamless and respectful experience for our customers. While I can’t undo the challenges you’ve faced, I’d like to address your concerns and explain our processes. Regarding your original order (#156****): I understand how upsetting it was to not receive the dress, especially given its importance to you. When it became clear that the package was misdelivered, we issued a full refund because, unfortunately, that specific item was no longer available in our inventory.
I’m truly sorry for the disappointment this caused. For your second order (#159****): Our systems are designed for quick order processing to ensure timely deliveries. As such, we are unable to modify or cancel orders once they are submitted. I understand you tried to cancel this order shortly after it was placed, and I regret that we were unable to accommodate your request.
This is certainly not the outcome we wanted for you, especially given the circumstances. To help ensure this matter is fully resolved, I’ve personally reviewed your account and noted that the second order has already shipped. If you no longer wish to keep the dress once it arrives, you are welcome to initiate a return through our [return portal/customer care team], and we will process it promptly. I would also be happy to assist you with the return process directly.
Regarding your feedback on customer service: We take your comments seriously and value your input. We are constantly striving to improve our communication and service standards. I will be sure to share your feedback with our leadership team to help identify areas for improvement. We appreciate your loyalty as a customer, and it’s our goal to regain your trust.
