OMG!!!!! AVOID THIS MESSED UP PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE
Run, run run from this company!!!!! They have been sued in a class action suit regarding their practices and had to issue $10 gift codes to their customers as a settlement requirement. The class action case number is: 2:20-CV 03332 with the name "Kahn v Boo Hoo." It's much easier to find the court documents on line by searching "Kahn v Boo Hoo" than using the case number.
I received my settlement gift card code in an email from them. However, this code doesn't work regardless of whether you enter it in caps or lower case or whether you enter it into the "gift card" space or the "promo code" space on their checkout form.
So far, after complaining about the unusable code, I've had approximately 16 back and forth emails from them all containing misleading instructions and conflicting statements. Currently, they are telling me (finally) that yes, the code I received was missing a letter and that they have sent me the new code which will work. However.....LOL. I have received NOTHING from them except ridiculous emails telling me that my email system needs to be "refreshed." Wrong! It's their ethics that need to be refreshed.
So far, still no new code and I'm not holding my breath. I believe that they are trying to get out of the settlement agreement by sending bogus codes and then using stalling tactics to keep the complaints from being forwarded. When you consider that they had to issue millions of these $10 codes, they are set to lose a ton of money if everyone or even just half the people redeem their codes.
I'm in the process of communicating with the law firm and the judge regarding this situation but wanted to warn everyone that this company is really really bad. I've purchased from them once and while I liked my jacket, I had to return another one and I don't believe that I ever was refunded. I'm also in the process of checking my credit card statement to see if I got a refund. I'm pretty sure that I didn't but the amount was so low that it wasn't worth all my time to try and get a straight answer from them. Now I'm on a mission to find out if they ever refunded my money.
It's tempting to purchase from them because to me, they have fun clothes. But DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM!!!! At the very least, read the contents of the court case to see what other tactics they use to rip people off.
Allegedly they settled because it was cheaper than continuing the lawsuit and they deny doing anything wrong. From what I can see, they actually settled the suit because they knew that the gift card codes they'd issue would be bogus and that dealing with them is such a hassle that most people will give up. NOT ME! I'm going to forward all my correspondence to the Plaintiff's attorneys who just happen to have an office here in Sacramento.
DON'T BUY FROM THEM! DON'T BUY FROM THEM! DON'T BUY FROM THEM! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
P.S. Should I ever receive a gift code that is valid, I will update this review. read more
