Poor Service: Offers You Should Refuse!
There are many companies to choose from on the
internet. Some offer consistently good service
with the odd exception; some don't. And have an
unusually high number of complaints about them.
Spookyboutique.com appears to
fall into that category. They have many complaints,
particularly at the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
(including 31 unanswered complaints).
The BBB website tabulates the complaints and allows you
to see how the business responded to them.
The Better Business Bureau gave Spooky Boutique.com an "F" rating (observed
on January 23, 2008).
Here is the link to the BBB report.
The F rating is defined by the
BBB as: "We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that
they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly
misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration
requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the
company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices."
Googling the domain
www.spookyboutique.com finds many complaints, mostly about not receiving the
products ordered and not receiving answers to calls.

Hello,
I need to report a
complaint against an online Business in California called Spooky Boutique.com My
complaint is that on December 11th I ordered a pair of boots for
$126.00. I put it on my debit card online. I have the order number and
confirmation e-mail. They took the money out of my account within a few days.
The boots were for a Christmas present. I never received the boots. I have sent
them 4 e-mails and two voice mails in which they haven’t replied to either.
They’re policy says give 2-4 weeks or up to 30 days. It has been over 30 days
and I feel at this point I lost that money and I will not get the boots. I had
to close out my debit and get a new one which was a big inconvenience. Granted,
it’s not a huge amount of money, but it’s my money that I work for and they have
no right to have taken it without sending me the boots or giving a reply back to
my e-mail or voicemails. I need help on what I should do about this. I’d really
like my money back or the boots.
If someone could get back
to me on this I would really appreciate it.
We advised the shopper to contact the BetterBusinessBureau,
who may be able to negotiate with the company on her behalf.
