Ordered Clear Lens Geek Fashion Glasses, but what I received is a completely different product. The item I received has different shape and the lens is tinted. So I requested for a refund.
I contacted customer service via whatsapp and messenger. I spoke to up to 7 different representatives (Ibby, Anisa, Husnain A., Ash, Misbah, Husnain, Ismaeel), but no one was willing to help. I was advised to return the item before I could I either get a replacement or refund. I explained that I was high risk to COVID-19 (asthma) and will be difficult for me to drop off the item to the parcel shop myself or ask someone to do it for me considering I live on my own and my peeps live far away. I managed to ask one of my neighbour to do it for me, so he tried to drop it off to 3 local parcel shops without success so I told him not to worry, as I have already asked too much of him, considering he was the only one willing to help and risking his life being out. It's suppose to be the customer service's job to sort it, and apparently they are all working at home and could not get a supervisor/manager to contact me to discuss it further as none of them was any help at all.
Furthermore, the parcel shops informed him that they were not accepting any parcels and it could take 25-30+ days until they can have any further update. I explained this to customer service representatives and most of the responses I received are along the following lines (which I reckon they just copied and pasted): -"I totally understand where you are coming from but we would need the incorrect glasses back before we can resend the correct pair. This is the only appropriate solution we can offer right now. We wouldn't be able to do a manager call either as we are all working from home and not in the office so we can only deal with the queries online" .... Regarding the return timeframe, the response I received is as follows: - "If it goes above 28 days since we extended it, then we will review this and possibly extend it further. We will happily accept the return back to us for a refund or replacement but at this unprecedented time, we can't advise when that will be."
First of all BoohooMan made the error of sending me the wrong item! I wanted to return it but the customer service representatives did not acknowledge my circumstance nor provided any solutions. I even suggested if they can arrange the courier to pick up the item I am returning, to which one of them responded with the following: - "I'm afraid the courier doesn't offer this service. It needs to be dropped off at a drop off shop when it is safe to do so."
This is very frustrating, and no one was willing to do anything nor care about the situation I am in. I have prompted for next day delivery and considering it was their error sending me the wrong item, they were making no effort resolving the issue immediately and expecting me to wait until I was able to return it (which can take up to after 30+ days), and authorise the refund once they receive it (which can take further additional days). There isn't even any guarantee that they will receive the item within the return timeframe (28 days), and therefore I may not even be eligible getting my refund. Contradicting and false advertisement of their "Free, Fast & Trackable returns!"
This is the 3rd time they have messed up my orders, and on all occasion their customer service has been none existent. This incident has definitely drew the line for me considering the circumstance, the brand and it's customer service has been completely out of order!
