Redbox will steal your money!
March 27, 2024

Redbox was once a great company! An individual could rent premium movies but now you can't call! If there is an issue, you must email but they don't respond! A response will be generic. The Redbox's either don't work or there is always some issue with them but no customer service. Any attempt to resolve an issue will be met with the same generic email response and no solutions! Please consumer's do not rent from this company they fraudulently charge you erroneous fees! Please refrain from becoming a victim from Redbox and fraudulent practices! Beware please beware!

Movies are poor quality
August 17, 2023

We rented a movie online. Was given no info on how to get the movie from the machine. I had to google it. Ended up being very easy. Then went to play the movie, it would not work after the first 5 minutes. We got a new promo code for another movie. But was inconvenient. So today we rented another movie. The movie was horrible quality! Very grainy, with several pauses. It also did not fill our whole TV screen. I did try to adjust that. Didn't work. Not impressed. They need better quality control!

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Redbox's customer service, which I consider one of the worst. Despite not receiving my package, I reached out to Redbox five times to inform them of the issue. Their response was limited to just two emails, sent a week apart, in which they merely suggested I check with my neighbors or contact the post office to locate my package. Redbox's approach to handling customer issues is highly unprofessional and shows a lack of proper customer support. After receiving no assistance from them, I requested a refund, which they outright refused. Be cautious of these scammers; their only interest seems to be in taking your money, not in providing any real support.

Horrible
October 29, 2023

If I could give it zero stars I would. This piece of $#*! company over charged for piece of $#*! movies that either don't play at all or are just terrible movies to watch. Took the last bit of my money for not returning an $#*! movie! I returned them so if they keep taking more of my money they can go ahead and get sued. I'll stick to Netflix and other streaming services, redbox is a dying company anyway and I'm sure they'll hopefully go bankrupt soon so enjoy my money! Glad I could donate to your charity.

Thieves
July 28, 2023

Redbox will rip you off if your movies are stolen. I rented two movies at a Walmart and accidentally left them behind in the shopping cart. When I realized and returned 20 minutes later, they were gone, someone had taken them. Redbox charged my over $80 for these two movies. If I had purchased these movies new, they would have cost around $35. This should be illegal and seems like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

Overpriced movies that are free on Tubi and fawsome, no customer service, not to mention when I use a $5 promo on a $2 movie they just keep the change. After my terrible experience I would never use or recommend the Redbox app to anyone it's a wonder how they are even still in business.

Very upset customer
January 8, 2024

I am extremely annoyed.
I went on their website looking for.1 Tretinoin cream. They had sent me.025% and refused to do anything about it to fix it after I spent $130 on this.
I will NEVER use this company again.
They expected me to eat the cost and go through the process of speaking to someone again for another prescription. WHY on earth would I give more money to you so you can again send me something I dont want.
I USE.1 now. WHY would I want.025?

I don't know where they get their bimetoprost but it simply does not work whatsoever. I've used Latisse in the past with great success but this has not grown a single eyelash.

I called Redbox customer service to have a reservation cancelled and within 20 minutes after talking to them someone used my brand new Visa card information to order food from Jamaica cook shop 3 times located in mesquite tx. It seems to me that someone at Redbox is the culprit since I did not make any other transactions and the card is only 2days old.

I payed for Lexapro and Hydrozine on the same day Oct 6 th. 25.00 for Lexapro. 20.00 for hydrozine. Got the hydrozine Monday the 9 th. No Lexapro. I call customer service. First they tried to tell me I had no refills. After this month I had to see a provider for more. I never got month 2 Lexapro and was told they would expedite it to my by today. Still haven't got it. It's hard to come off anti depressants like that! I hate being lied to.

Took my money and didn't follow through
September 18, 2023

10 days later, no response back from them when they said it would be 48 hours. I'm receiving marketing emails from them, but nothing else. Wasted money.

Never using again
April 20, 2017

Apparently redbox charges late fees now?! Before they would just charge whatever amount the DVD was every day you had it. Defeats the whole point. Bull$#*! never using it again. Complete waste of money

Red box is sure to be the Blockbuster example of corporate failure for this generation. Promo codes don't work. Promos don't populate online or streaming accounts. No chat function for customer service. Tv app isn't clear with which movies honor which promotions until you go through the hassle of entering information. Sell your stock now.

Frustrated!
October 10, 2017

Rented two movies Sunday and one played fine and the other one messed up in the middle and at the very end. Had this problem twice before... Needless to say we never saw the end of it. Called customer service and had a hard time communicating with them. Did not speak good English. They were nice but it was so frustrating so I just said "never mind" I don't think I'll rent from them again. Fort Valley, Ga. CVS Redbox.

Rented 2 red box movies returned them the next day. 17 days later they charge my account 63.50. Called to get my money back, they basically accused me of lying and had no empathy on the outrageous amount charged for 2 movies that were not even worth the 2.75 initial rental fee. I am completely disgusted. $#*! you Red box. Your customer service sucks $#*! and I will never rent from you again.

I just want to say that Redbox is doing a great job, Considering all the competition today with streaming services you still provide affordable NEW movies at a reasonable price.

I will always remain a customer and I hope Redbox has a successful future. I appreciate your new representatives on chat they are providing excellent customer service. Customers I recommend using chat for quick and professional resolution.

Sincerely
Sharon Godwin

I've used Redbox many times, and I've watched lots of good movies from it. I wish that they had a better selection of older movies, but I can understand the demand for new titles. It doesn't cost too much and sometimes there are coupons, so I'd say it's definitely worth using. I haven't had much trouble with dvds being scratched or damaged. I don't think Redbox is as good as Blockbuster, but since there are no Blockbuster's around anymore, Redbox works well enough.

I am becoming disenchanted with Redbox --- they took out one that was just a few blocks away and now I have to go. 5 miles from my home. And Redbox increased their prices by 25% --- so I'm paying more and getting less.

And it seems fewer users are inclined to reserve movies online so there's invariably a long line of folks at the kiosk as people wade through the extra-bad search tool at the kiosk. They need to figure out a way to let folks who have reserved online get their disks at the same time other folks are browsing.

Rebox RIP OFF!
February 5, 2018

Rented two movies and ensured returned the next night due to known complaints of overcharging for DVDs. No notification only a $54.00 charge from my account. Called Customer service and the only "courtesy" they could give was $10.00 refund for each disk. $34.00 dollars for two disks that were returned! Both movies sucked and cost $34.00? Also happened to my daughter. Will never use Redbox again.
