Boscov’s Department Store

This boscov’s has amazing prices and deals going on all the time. $ 3.99 for nice long and short sleeve shirts? I love it. I also bought a great belt on a sale for under $ 10. But what made me write this review was the return process. While I loved the belt I decided I picked a bad color shirt based on a compulsive shopping decision. I went to return it and Quincy made the process more comfortable and easy than any other place you can get. Great job Quincy!

The one thing I like about Boscov’s is that I can always go there and find a special occasion dress… All there clothes aren’t for just kids… Not everyone is in the 15 – 30 group! The prices are reasonable and the sales are great and frequent! I shop here for my DH too!

worst customer service in retail. hate this store and eployees in the gift wrap area; pure idiots. much better in pennsylvania and jersey

I’ve been in and out of this location for a couple of years now, and I honestly can’t tell the difference between Boscov’s and Macy’s. (I found marked down Thanksgiving napkins here, no placemats, and found the matching placemats, no napkins, in Macy’s on the same trip). Boscov’s staff have been very nice and accommodating, and don’t quite have that «Macy’s Face» the Macy’s staff seem to have in every store across the country. The difference seems to be largely in the sale strategies, and I’m not good at pouncing on the Macy’s periodic bargains in particular departments, while Boscov’s doesn’t seem to be shy about having spot bargains no matter what the department. That doesn’t help a scatter-​brained department store shopper such as myself, of course.
It’s still hard to shop for kids clothing, which is what usually lures me into department stores (I just don’t do well), but at least Boscov’s doesn’t confuse me with layers of coupons like Kohl’s or mysteriously empty racks, like Sears.
In any event, happy to have it as a point of comparison at a mall that still has three anchor stores.
Power tip: the rear of Boscov’s is one of the few places to find parking at Colonie Center, which has a horrendous parking arrangement, for easier entry to the mid-​mall, although when it fills up you’ll be stuck parking in the way-​out areas by Sears and Macy’s. Come through on the Macy’s /​Sand Creek side to get into the oddly disconnected Boscov’s rear-​side parking areas most expeditiously.

I’ve had really good luck at this Boscov’s. This is my favorite place to shop in Colonie Center for men’s clothes. Some years ago, when I had lost a bit of weight, this was the only place I could find a fitted suit which required minimal alteration, and it was significantly cheaper than anything at Macy’s. I was also pleasantly surprised by their furniture department in the back. The employees are friendly, courteous, and quite helpful without being in-​your-​face about it.
I’m disappointed that the folks at the Wilton Mall denied Boscov’s the opportunity to build a store there (because they wanted a 2-​story store and were told «No»). Wilton’s loss.

3.5 stars. Its friggin’ cheap and the Lord knows I love a bargain.
I recently went there for curtains. I needed 4 panels they were short one, so the cashier called up to Clifton Park to have them set it aside for me. Good customer service.
I’ve purchased ugly Christmas sweatshirts here in the past for $ 10. Where else can you get a evergreen color sweatshirt with attached peter pan collar with dancing cardinals in Santa hats and an extra cardinal on the collar?
You can get some really high quality bed linens and blankets here for super cheap. They have those fuzzy fur like blankets that are $ 35 for king size at Target for $ 20; same blanket for $ 15 less. It feels $ 15 warmer to me. I’ve purchased really high thread count sheets here for 25%-50% less than at Macy’s or JC Penney’s.
The parking lot is insane and I feel like people are willing to cut you for a parking spot.
They have Yankee candles for cheap and a tiffany glass inspired Yankees table lamp… I want.

A mid-​priced department store with some good values. My favorite items here are the kitchen wares, photo frames and albums and the winter coats.
