I ordered products and was charged shipping. A package came with postage due. Had to drive 20 miles each way to town to pick it up. Before I picked it up, I sent an email to the company. This was their reply -

When I picked up the package and paid the postage due, it was indeed from them. Now I am told it will take up to 5 days or more to process a refund. WHAT A RIPOFF.
Ordered an MP4 player about a week ago,. Came on here today to see what others said about the company, as I was having second thoughts about the situation. Have read nothing but bad reviews of this company. I was beginning to think I may have been scanned and said as much to my husband. Imagine my surprise, when I went to the mailbox today and the MP3 player was there waiting for me. Impressed it showed up, but not very impressed with the quality of it. It is cheaply made and not sure how it will stand up to the use of an 8 and 6 year old.
It looks similar to an iPod, but the wheel is crooked. There were no real instructions included ( not that I need them) and the plastic case was sealed with scotch tape.
When I plugged it into my computer to charge it (arrived dead), there were already songs on it.
Will not order from this company again. I will stick to Wish and Wayfair.
Ordered the gold plated card with mahogany box... got the cards no boxes ordered two sets $13.88 each... finally got info to return them but refund will be for cards no shipping which was $12.00... and return postage... but if I keep them they'll give me 20% off next order... somebody smoking some good s#*t in that company... smh...
After waiting 2 months for my product to arrive. 6-7 emails later saying it was shipped. It arrived broken.
They expected me to pay for shipping back to receive a refund. I hope this company gets what is coming to them after treating all these other customers the same way.
Ordered a product 2 months ago. When I asked about the status after 1 month, they responded saying they were waiting on a large shipment, and I'd have it by the end of the next week. Another month goes by. So I sent an email again asking for a refund or delivery of the product. Got the exact same response verbatim. I'm guessing the product will never show up. DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$.
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Received defective product (cheap Chinese piece of crap). Contacted the company and they wanted pictures to prove it didn't work. I did that and then they want me to return the product at my expense! I did that ($2.67) and am still awaiting a refund. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!
I bought a hair straightener brush from them, it was a complete piece of junk and didn't work. I returned it, and after 2 months asked where the refund was, and they said that if I didn't provide them the tracking number, they wouldn't refund my money. At that point, I didn't have the tracking number anymore, so I was out the money. I had to file a dispute with my credit card company and try to get my money back that way. When I fought it with Boardwalk Buy, they simply offered a 15% off coupon, which I did not want, obviously. They kept my money AND product. Total sccammers - chinese based company that doesn't give AF about customer service.
I ordered two Bluetooth shower speakers... they took forever to send them out so instead of being Christmas gifts they turned into Valentine's gifts... I opened one when it arrived and it worked great... the other was opened as a Valentine's gift and the charger did not work (right out of the package). I contacted them and they said sorry it's been 30 days... but here's 15% off your next purchase... NO THANK YOU! I ordered two items and had two problems (late arrival and defective product that wasn't replaced). Never ordering from here again and I advise no one to order from here.
I ordered two of the 10-foot Chargers that had a guarantee no fraying. In two months time mine frayed and my husband's is loose where it connects to the phone. This keeps it from charging. Email them but no response. Not a good company to work with! No more Chargers
I order on 12/30/16 expecting maybe 7-10 days after not receiving it within the expected time I instant messaged the company as this was the way they sent me my order confirmation, they told me they could not find my order even tho I gave them the order number. After messaging further details about the order they took 3-4 days to respond when they told me they were sorry for the inconvenience but they would research it and get back with me. The never did. So I emailed them, again another 7-8 days went by when they responded with a auto response saying they would look in to my issue and offer a 10% off my next purchase (no thanks at this point) long story short after 6 weeks I finally received a response that supposedly the items I ordered were on back order I should expect them the end of that week. I waited til the end of that week nd nothing... I waited another 5-6 days just to give them the benefit of the doubt, still nothing. So i disputed the charge with my bank and they refunded the money. Oddly enought the VERY NEXT DAY Boardwalk sent me an email the the items shipped. Dont know what to say about that but I dont think I will do business with them again.
I ordered the gold plated playing cards and it has been 4 weeks already. Sent email asking about my order and no reply. WARNING! DO NOT DO BUSINESS with Boardwalkbuy.com!
The other reviews already highlight the problems, so I won't go into chapter and verse.
In summary, an order placed for goods to be shipped in 1-2 days have not materialised, Chasers get various excuses, from 'it's out of stock and we're getting it in next week' to 'it's being processed'.
Needless to say it's six weeks later and nothing received.
These crooks won't even let you cancel your order!
This is now in the hands of our credit card company to cancel our transaction.
AVOID THESE BANDITS
I ordered the heating neck pad and received it quickly BUT it was sent from China, had a funny smell and it was the cheapest made item I've ever seen, no instructions. After putting it on, within 10 minutes I was having an asthma attack from the smell or some kind of allergic reaction to something in it. I threw it away. Boardwalkbuy is a China import product marketing site. Beware of the cheap quality and unethical products they use that can be harmful. No where on my order did I see this was coming from China.
Purchased an item, 3 weeks later got a damaged and ripped boxed item that was packaged inside a perfect exterior package, and the item was broken. Would not make right by replacing or refund. Don't waste your money
I was intrigued by the magnetic tourmaline neck pad when it showed up in my Facebook feed. However I could not in good conscience order the product as I found a major typo in reading the copy. It made me question whether this product really works or is a scam.
I ordered a wall sticker for $12.49. After a month I still have not received it. So I emailed this company to find out that THEY CANCELLED MY ORDER due to risk of fraud.? I was never notified or contacted also told to use a more secure web-site or a different card. WHAT? My home computer and I used PAYPAL. What is more secure. This company is a joke. STAY FAR AWAY FROM IT
I agree with "stay clear of this company." They are terrible. The hair straightener marketed for "all hair types" does not work on curly hair and company refused to take back. The item also arrived on 12/27 despite being ordered three weeks before Christmas. The second item on the order was never shipped - though when I did complain at the same time as straightener, they said they would send "another" but I am not hopeful about the quality of that item.
I ordered the stress cube. After several emails and over a month it finally came. It is cheaply made (bought one from another sight that came very quickly and is much better quality.) and It is the wrong color.
I've tried to get them to take me off their email list as they send several a day and I have not been successful yet.
