Unethical, Fraud

Address:Delhi
Website:www.thebigbookbox.com

HI! I've had a terrible experience from The Big Bok Box. I ordered a box in their Garage sale on 10th March 2023 which they said will be shipped in mid-April. I mailed them in august, to which they responded that 2 items are broken and they will get it remade from the vendor again for which they require 10 days. In September, they said they'll provide refund for the complete box. But this seem absurd, after 6 months they are cancelling the...

August Make Your Own Box

Address:Delhi, India
Website:www.thebigbookbox.com

I placed an order for the August Make Your Own Box on the 15th of September and I am yet to receive it as of May 2023. I asked for an update back in November 2022 and was told by their team that they will have the stock by December or January. It's been five months since then and not only has my order not reached me, but there have been no updates from their end. This is extremely poor customer service and mismanagement and it has discouraged...

Scam!!!!

I've been attempting to get back my funds from them for several months, but I've been encountering errors. I strongly advise against depositing your money on this site. I was able to recover my money thanks to Durafox Tech, I came across their services via Google, and they assisted me in regaining access to all my funds....

Non-delivery and unresponsive customer support

Website:www.thebigbookbox.com

I ordered two boxes from The Big Book Box in February- The Espresso Box and The Babel Bundle. Till now they haven’t delivered my order. And the worst part is that they kept lying to me.

They told me that my Espresso box has already been dispatched but they provided no tracking details. Even the website hasn’t changed its status from processing. Still I gave them the benefit of doubt and kept waiting. But it’s been almost...

They have not delivered my Fan Box that I placed around last year Christmas time. Its still not delivered. They have said 4 times now that they have shipped it but each time their statement changes. I paid more than 2000 rupees for them. And I feel like it's all down the drain now. The excuse they make up for late email replies is that "your mail was in our spams" or something. They take money and scam you. I mean, they are an enterprise...

Pathetic customer support + No delivery of prepaid product

Website:www.thebigbookbox.com

I opted for a 3 box subscription on the first week of Feb. It is December now and I am yet to receive my last box. The most frustrating thing is that the company continues to keep on taking future orders from new customers without actually completing their present ones.

Raised multiple tickets, sent them numerous emails but not a single reply. I chose to spam the comment section of their new instagram posts as a last resort...

Unprofessional and annoying & unfulfilled order

I had ordered a book box from their garage sale on the 5th of May 2022. And it was supposed to reach within a week or so. Until end of may I didn’t receive the box nor did I hear from the company. So I mailed to enquire about the box by the end of may. Ever since then they had been making various excuses like all boxes will get dispatched together on 15th June with June subscription box, then they said that they mistook my order and blah...

Products missing

First, they didn't send me the box on time as there was mess up in their dashboard.
After doing an email marathon for more than 2 months, items were missing when I received the box.
Again, email marathon has begun and have no idea when they are going to ship the missing items.
Their customer support is pathetic & say one thing first and then change their statements & commitments....

I placed an order for two limited edition book boxes on March 31st, 2021. Both products came with a guarantee to ship before a specified date or they'll provide you with a full refund. They've since removed this claim for one of the boxes I purchased (The Shadowhunters Box), but for the Night Circus Box their projected shipping date was August 31st, 2021. The shipping date for The Shadowhunters box was before August.
