      On the morning of 5/8/25, I placed an order for my tux rental for $268. When prompted to continue on the screen, I did and it brought me to another page to update my payment information. However, the $268 had already come out of my account. When contacting The Black Tux twice, they informed me that they did not receive an order, nor the charged amount. However, my bank confirmed that the transfer did go through and Black Tux did receive the payment. Filed a fraud claim with my bank as well.

      I rented a tux and associated items for $258 (before taxes) for an October 19, 2024 event from Black Tux (* Tux). On Oct. 22, before I had to return the tux and associated items, * Tux sent me an email stating: Keep the things you love, and well apply what youve already paid to rent toward the price to to buy the item(s) youd like to keep. So I decided to keep all the items that I had rented. The email showed the prices to buy each of the used items. The total purchase price for these was $365 (before taxes). So based on the offer email, I was expecting * Tux to credit the $258 (plus taxes) that I had paid to rent toward the $365 (plus taxes) price to buy those used items. * Tux charged my credit card the purchase price but did not credit the amount that I had paid to rent. So after a few weeks, I telephoned and then exchanged a few emails with * Tux regarding the promised credit for the rental amount that I had paid. In these various communications, * Tux denied that they owed me the credit of the rental cost despite the straight forward promise to do so in their email. Instead, * Tux offered 25% of the rental amount ($69.33) to settle the matter. I rejected that offer and on Nov. 26, despite me requesting them not to do so, * Tux credited my credit card $69.33. I sent a check in the amount of $69.33 to * Tux on Dec. 13, again rejecting their offer. On December 19, a * Tux representative sent me an email stating in part: while I understand you are not in agreement with this solution (crediting me $69.33), my decision remains the same and I will be closing this communication. On Dec. 20, I sent an email to this * Tux representative, again advising him that I reject the settlement offer and had returned the $69.33. Since then I have not heard from * Tux. The * Tux offer email to credit the rental cost toward the purchase price is clear, so I am requesting that * Tux credit the amount that I paid to rent toward the purchase price that I have already paid.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business that was made in a separate email to me in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that resolution is satisfactory to me. I would note that Black Tux did not agree to this resolution until after I filed this complaint with the Better Business Bureau. So thank you to the Better Business Bureau for offering this process to consumers.

      I ordered a rental suit on 8/17/24 for a wedding on 10/19/24. The suit was supposed to arrive 10 days prior to the event. The wedding is now in 7 days and they have not sent me my pants for the suit because they say they dont have the pants available and they do not know if/when they will. This is a suit for a wedding party so I cannot just go out and get another suit as I need one that matches the rest of the groomsmen. **************** is not helpful and phone wait times are ******************************************************************************************************************* stock.

      This company advertises your suit, and your groomsmen suits to arrive "10 or more days before your event". 10 days before my wedding, myself (the groom) and 5 of my groomsmen had received no tracking number and no information regarding their suit shipping. This guarantee is a completely false claim. When I called I received the worst customer service possible (Besides ******* who was helpful). I was told that our order hadn't shipped because they did not have enough bow ties. I was told we could wait longer to see if rental ties arrived or I could change my wedding look. Two completely unacceptable resolutions. I was also told their company did not reach out to notify me because they did not "want to stress me out". This is unacceptable. Finally afters hours on the phone and speaking to the supervisor ******, I was able to get the 6 suits shipped, albeit late. My suit arrived. Jacket/Pants/Shirt all did not fit. I was told SPECIFICALLY that if the fit wasnt to liking they would do right by me and overnight replacements to make it right. I am writing this as I wait on hold. I was called and told that my replacements will not be overnighted now and I will have to wait until Monday. Lied to and false claims by the company again. This company needs to be investigated for false claims and I truly believe our entire wedding party's order should be refunded for this pathetic service. Even without a refund, I implore the BBB to investigate this company for false claims. False claims involving an event so important such as a wedding is inexcusable. I still have no resolution and pray some replacement shows up. I hope no customers ever use this company again.

      The company charged me and did not place my ordered. When I called they said they see the charge and it would take 7-10 business days to reverse and I can simply purchase the order again.

      Hi ******, 

      Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry to hear about the trouble when placing the order. We see you've been in touch with our customer care team regarding the payment issue.

      We're confirming the payment was not processed and it is a pending charge that will fall back into your account within 7-10 business days or dependent on your bank institution. If you have any questions regarding the pending charge, we recommend contacting your bank for further insight on it being unsuccessful. 

      Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help with anything else.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      You did not address the issue of how your answer to resolve the issue is to simply charge your card again or try another card especially since the original charge you charged me is still reflecting on my account, I understand it falls back to my bank. But your response sounds like scam/fraud to me. Would you double charge your card and hope the original amount falls off?

      Company did not fulfill obligation for tux for my husband for our daughters wedding. Had to go find a suit the day of wedding and missed all the day off festivities because of this. Funds were refunded for the tux that was partially sent, but their only explanation was that they didnt Have the shoes so they didnt send the jacket. My daughter bought cufflinks foe her dad to wear that were personalized with the date of her wedding and a special note that he was unable to wear because he had to purchase a shirt that would go with the suit. The only thing we are getting from this company is im sorry but we cannot reimburse for anything other than the tux.This is so wrong on so many levels and they need to reimburse us for a suit that we shouldnt of had to go purchase.We are beyond frustrated dealing with this company and so devastated that the parents of the bride were unable to be there for her.

      Formal complaint about The Black Tuxs rental agreement and refund policy. I ordered a tuxedo rental on April 7th, 2024 for an event on May 21, 2024. I canceled this rental on April 27, 2024.Although within the 21 day return window, this was not within the 45 day window required for a refund. This language is not immediately apparent in the rental agreement. Thus, even though my rental has not yet been shipped, I cannot get me money back.Furthermore, 45 days is an obscenely long requirement for a full credit refund. In fact, my order would never have been eligible for a refund under this policy.It is a ridiculous holdover from the pandemic era that has no place today. It takes advantage of customers.

      The ********************************************************************************************************************************* advance. If a customer places their order within the 21 window, orders are eligible for an account credit and the same would apply to a rush order placed within a shorter timeline. 

      We can confirm a full refund was issued by our team back to your credit card on file. Please allow 7-10 business days for it to reflect.

      Admittedly, I placed an order for a tuxedo rental with a tight turnaround. I placed the order on 9/2 for an event on 9/10 -- I understand this is quick however the company charged me a $40 express fee, acknowledging that they could still deliver my rental on time. I live in the largest metropolitan area in the country so I wasn't particularly worried about delivery times, and was told I'd receive on 9/6. I did not receive anything (or tracking) and on 9/7 I called customer service. After customer service could not locate the tracking they said they'd call me back -- in between the 2 calls my tracking was miraculously located and the package was noted as delivered in that very same time window between the calls -- however that was incorrect and no package was delivered. They immediately said they'd send out a replacement to arrive by 10:30am on 9/9, this is cutting it close but I obliged. By the end of 9/8 I had yet to receive tracking and after multiple phone calls or emails I was told it did not go out, and I'd now receive on the morning of 9/10 but STILL received no tracking. I then asked them to cancel my order and received no response.

      This entire business is very shady, and I wish I had read reviews prior to ordering. Their ********* and BBB are flooded with complaints, and it seems many people are in the same boat as I am.

      I was charged $250.62 and have yet to receive any of the services promised by the Black Tux and want this refunded.

      Hi *******, we are showing your cancellation request was responded to this morning at 9:55. Your order has been cancelled and a full refund provided to your card on file. Unfortunately there was a technical error in our shipping department that caused orders to be shipped ground or not go out at all, instead of overnighted as requested. We are working to resolve that and get those orders out as soon as possible. We have recalled your package so it will not be delivered to you as requested. Feel free to reach out to *********************** if you need anything further.
