Thursday Boots Lawsuit: Free Shipping Should Actually Be Free
At Cutter Law, we believe businesses should deliver on their promises. When a company advertises free shipping, the final price should reflect that—without hidden fees like “shipping protection.”
What Are the Junk Fees in Thursday Boots' Shipping?
Thursday Boots promotes free shipping across its website and ads. However, at checkout, a fee for “shipping protection”—around $4.00—is automatically added. While this fee can be removed, most consumers may not notice or understand its purpose. This tactic misleads customers and violates honest pricing standards.
Impact of Hidden Fees on Consumers
Hidden fees undermine trust and prevent customers from making informed decisions. These practices inflate the true cost of goods and leave consumers paying more than expected. Companies like Thursday Boots must be held accountable for these misleading tactics.
“When a company advertises free shipping, the shipping actually needs to be free.”
– Wes Griffith, Head of Consumer Class Action Litigation at Cutter Law
Legal Action Against Thursday Boots
California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) prohibits businesses from advertising prices that exclude mandatory fees. The “shipping protection” fee added by Thursday Boots may violate these protections. Similar federal laws also prohibit deceptive pricing practices, ensuring consumers pay the price they see.
