Bokksu provides a great product
Bokksu provides a great product but terrible service and has a tendency to sign you up for "subscriptions" when you are purchasing a one off or a one year subscription only. It feels dishonest.
I purchased a few Bokksu boxes as gifts and was disgusted to find out that even though I signed up for one only, I was automatically billed for a second one. When I complained about it, NOTHING CHANGED.
I actually signed up a friend for a Bokksu subscription for one year and was going to renew it this month when I found out it was automatically renewed. It cost over 500 dollars. WHO DOES THIS?
I know gift giving follows etiquette in Japan but this company seems to be all about signing people up without their consent. I have complained about it at least three times in written form and got basically lip service in response.
When a company takes money from you and does not offer a refund more than once, it is a dishonest and unethical company. It may not bother you about the automatic renewals without consent of the consumer, but it points to deeper issues around ETHICS.
