    04/13/2025 I placed an order for their 50 shirts for $249 deal. After approving the artwork I received an email confirmation saying the shirts would arrive by Monday May 5th, 2025. May 5th comes and no shirts. I wait an extra week or two just in case they're behind on production, but hear no word on any delays or when the shirts will be shipped. I finally try to send an email and phone call asking for updates but get no response, no answer. More waiting. Another month goes by and still no response and no updates on the shirts. Finally two weeks ago (beginning of July) I manage to speak to someone on the phone. I request a refund and tell them I'm no longer interested in the order since it hasn't even left the building. They tell me they'll reach out shortly to process the refund. I hear nothing back and instead on 07/07/2025 I suddenly receive the tracking invoice for the shirts. They sent the shirts without my permission after I told them to cancel the order and refund me! The shirts arrive and I think maybe I'll make the most out of them since they're here anyway... but I open the box and the print is absolutely terrible. The shirt quality is fine, but the print looks nothing like the artwork. No one ever reached out to let me know how they turned out, no test print, nothing like that.I'm extremely upset and disappointed in 5Boys' unprofessionalism and failure to perform at the level promised by them. I demand they take these awful shirts back and refund me what I am owed.

    Order Date: 04/18/2025 Due Date: 05/9/2025 (As Stated On The Invoice)Missed our event. Order is no longer needed. We had called their **************** on May 12th were told by ****** that the order would ship the next week. It did not. We called today (06/10/2025) and **************** admitted the order had not been produced yet. We were offered an in-house credit which we refused. We were told she would talk to management and they would get back to us, but we don't believe that will happen. The order was due on May 9th. It's now June 10th with nothing to show for it on their end. We would like a full refund so we can move on.

    The order I received had multiple issues but most noticeably shorts were the incorrect size - much shorter than shirt specs. 5Boys agreed to refund my money upon return. They provided return shipping labels, and I returned all items in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, they never refunded my money and stopped responding to my inquiries for updates.

    I placed an order in October of 2024 (after a long process of getting order/logo correct).... I even paid a crazy amount of ****** to get the shipment expedited (because it took so long to get order correct. The order arrived minus 50 long sleeve shirts. The items that did arrive were not the shirts that were ordered or indicated on invoice. Specifically, I ordered 'soft style shirts' .... most of the shirts that were sent were 100 percent cotton....the shirts were all different brand types. I was also trying to use one of their advertised specials but they did not include.I called and they said they would investigate missing items and had no response of why the items delivered were different from those ordered. After numerous unanswered emails and calls.... they said they would refund me for the missing items. I still have not received the refund and the company will not answer my emails. Someone 'accidently' called me back because they thought I was a prospect customer. After I mentioned my situation, I was told 'someone would get back with me'. No refund and no more communication

    I originally ordered staff shirts for my businesses, Oh Happy Day Booth and *********** from 5Boys on Feb 7, 2024, spending $1,004.59. After placing the order, I requested a change to the ***************** and canceled the Oh Happy Day Booth shirts. Delays in communication led to the cancellation request being processed late, and I was only offered an account credit instead of a full refund.After receiving the shirts on April 11, staff began reporting peeling and cracking after washing (Apr 16 - May 5). I sent photo evidence on May 18, and the merchant admitted the shirts had not fully cured but offered no resolution beyond noting it for future ********* May 26, I had lost confidence in their quality and requested a full refund or a full reprint. On May 29, they offered either a 15% refund, 30% store credit, or a full reprint if I returned the shirts. I opted to return them for a reprint but later decided I wanted a full refund instead, as I no longer trusted their product.The process dragged on for months:July 8: They finally provided a return label.Aug 23: I confirmed I was missing a few shirts from former employees but returned the rest.Oct 1 - Nov 9: I followed up repeatedly, as they failed to acknowledge the return.Nov 9 - Dec 23: They claimed the refund was issued on Nov 22, but I never received it. Despite sending multiple transaction history screenshots, they failed to provide proof of processing.After being ignored for weeks, I escalated my request on Dec 23, making it clear their delays and lack of resolution were unacceptable. They responded with another vague promise to check in with the refund team, but no resolution has been provided. I tried disputing the charge with my bank but it is past the deadline. As of today I have not received a response from 5Boys. At this point, I simply want my full refund for the shirts and the outstanding credit, as their handling of this issue has been entirely unprofessional.

    *****,

     

    The customer has worked with our *** team to have replacement order sent out including 100 additional shirts at no cost. This has been handled off of the BBB platform.
