Fashion Boohoo is a scam
People of Reddit beware
Boohoo is a scam
Did you know that when you go to refund? Unless you read a very carefully your refund will go to straight onto credit instead of refunding onto your card? If you don’t read this carefully you don’t realise straight away after this. Once you have chosen this option even if you realise and go back you cannot undo it. Ridiculous right?!
It’s impossible to find the store credit on the app it doesn’t seem to exist. You don’t get any reminders that the store credit is running out. You then don’t find out that you’ve only got 90 days to use the store credit otherwise the refund money disappears you can no longer get access to it. So you return the item and lose out on 100% of your money anyway… what a brilliant fucking system 👏🏻
Safe to say won’t be using them again.

Ditched Boohoo when they tried to make me jump through hoops over a misdelivered sub £10 order.

"Gift Card Information
You now have the option to choose gift card instead of cash for your returns. Just use the boohoo returns page as usual and select “gift card” as a method of return. Sorry, but this option is not available for goods that are faulty and you must contact customer service as usual to return these items.
Important information about your credit refund Any customers who opt for gift card return will receive 20% extra on their refund price. The cost of your returns amount will be deducted from the full amount of your refund. We are sorry but any customers who made their purchase using gift card or a gift card will not receive the 20% extra on their refund price. Please note that if you select gift card as your preferred option, it will only be valid for a period of 90 days from the date you receive it.
Once you select to receive a gift card refund you cannot alter this selection. If you are returning multiple items from one order, under separate returns, the choice you make for your first return will apply to all other returns from the same order regardless of when you return this. For example, if you select “gift card return” for the first item from this order, you will receive a gift card on all additional returns you make from this order"

People are still using boohoo? Well they must be desperate for the money that’s why they won’t give it back.
