  False advertisement, pretending that exchanges are free (no shipping) as they always have been, even for a Pro Acccount holder. I got charges $8 each way (even though it said free) even on the emails I received when I sent the items back. When I contacted customer service (by email), they told me to go look at the website FAQ regarding Pro Accounts. I looked and didnt find any info, so contacted chat support. They told me that they hadnt updated their website with this info. I never got an email about policy changes and ended up paying an extra $16 (on top of the initial $8) for two shirts that are not even worth the discounted price. I want my $16 back.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and although I did not get the $16 back, I am no longer interested in pursuing this complaint. Not worth my energy, so I guess the complaint is resolved.

  O/a Saturday evening, 15 March 2025, I submitted an on-line order with Prana Clothing for a pair of pants, and paid with my Apple Card. Immediately upon submitting my order, I noticed that the shipping address was incorrect, and contacted Prana to correct it, but Prana ************* was closed for the weekend. When I finally did reach a human being at Prana, they told me they were unable to correct the shipping address. They further tried to tell me that the carrier would return the order to Prana given that I was no longer at that address. I know to a dead certainty that the carrier will not do that, and told Prana so. In another call I made to Prana, I asked ***, on a recorded line, to please alert the carrier to return the shipment to Prana. *** refused to do that, told me to contact the carrier myself. *** asserted that if my parcel went astray, I would still have to pay Prana. As a last resort, I called Apple Card to dispute the charge. ***** Card is now investigating. Upon reading through the BBB complaints on Prana, there seems to be a distinct pattern of Prana indifference to solving problems with an order. Their claims of helping are risible, their assurances to the contrary, not withstanding: At Prana, your satisfaction is our highest priority. we strive to make every transaction hassle-free, and are to help you should you have any questions about your order, return, or exchange.

  I placed an order for pants and a shirt (order: *********). As soon as I placed the order, I did a webchat with Prana and said they didn't add the 15% birthday month savings like they were supposed to. They refused to add it. When the pants arrived, I saw they were polyester, which creates microplastics in our environment with every wash and dry. I initiated a return on them. While I was at it, I initiated a return on the shirt as well. My plan was to re-buy the shirt before the end of February when I could ensure Prana applied the 15% off. Prana issued a refund on the jeans right away. Prana never issued a refund on the shirt. It should have been processed at the same time, since they were in the same return package. I can't purchase the shirt because Prana stopped selling the shirt and its sale is over anyway. My 15% off expires today, but I'm not placing a new order until the return for the shirt is processed. Even better than a return on the shirt would be if Prana just sent the shirt back to me instead of returning it.

  I ordered three pairs of mens pants from prAna on December 16th. Upon ordering, the prAna website said the package would be shipped in 2 to 3 business days. On December 19th I got an email stating a shipping label had been created for the package, but that *** had not picked the package up yet. I checked the tracking information frequently and the package never shipped. I called prAna on December 23rd, and was told there was nothing that could be done about the package until after 14 days. I contacted someone else from prAna on the 27th regarding the package and was told nothing could be done until after the 1st. I contacted someone yesterday regarding the package, figuring it has been lost, and was told it would have to be further investigated and would have to be passed on to a different team. PrAna has refused to give me a refund until after the investigation, and refuses to ship a new package with the pants ordered. To receive the pants, I would have to reorder and pay for them again, with no guarantee of ever receiving a refund for the pants I already ordered that have been lost. Now, I am seeing this is a reoccurring problem with this company and wish I had never ordered to begin with. I really wanted to love this company seeing as there are not many options for climbing/hiking clothes, but considering there clothes definitely arent cheap and it seems they often lose packages and do not own up to their mistake but instead punish the customer, I will not be shopping here again.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. The company sent me the pants they had in stock that I had ordered, and gave me a partial refund for the pair they no longer had in stock. I have received the partial refund and got a notification that the pants have been shipped! I appreciate everyones help!

  ISSUE #1: Order ********* was supposed to be delivered in November. Now, the tracking says, "Seller requested shipment to be returned." Why did Prana request it to be returned to them? This order needs to be delivered.ISSUE #2: The pocket broke on my jeans (RN ******). I e-mailed Prana and told them it's from order, *********. Prana said it's from order *********. Prana refused to do anything. Considering how much they were, the stitching in the pocket shouldn't have come apart. Send me a return shipping label for the jeans and issue a gift card or something.

  Order ********* was supposed to be delivered to me.  When it didn't arrive, I looked up the tracking progress on ******'s website.  OnTrac's site said, "Seller requested shipment to be returned."    
  
  I did a webchat with OnTrac.  OnTrac confirmed the shipper, Columumbia Sportswear, requested the package to be returned.  The ****** employee further said it couldn't be delivered to me, because it was already returned to the sender.  Prana is now saying it did NOT request to have the package returned.  When I e-mailed OnTrac, they said it wasn't true that the package was already returned to Prana, that they still had possession of it and would deliver it the next day.  OnTrac told the Better Business Bureau, "Your package was returned per our three-day hold policy and your seller agreement." (See attached letter).  That is a lie.  A 3-day hold didn't apply, since they never attempted to deliver it.  When they delivered the package from "issue # 1" above, they just left it at my door anyway, so the 3-day hold argument makes no sense.  OnTrac's story keeps changing.  OnTrac cannot even keep its lies straight.
  
  On 12/20/24, I e-mailed with ****** at Prana.  He said OnTrac returned the wrong package (They returned order ********* instead of order *********), so the story about why it wasn't delivered changes yet again.  I told him to send out the order.  He refused.  He is unprofessional and incompetent.  
  
  What's the status of me getting order *********?  Incompetence on Prana's part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

  Only half of the original complaint is resolved.  Prana didn't address the issue of the jeans.  The pocket broke on my ****** jeans (RN ******). I e-mailed Prana and told them it's from order, *********. Prana said it's from order *********. Prana refused to do anything. Considering how much they were, the stitching in the pocket shouldn't have come apart. I returned the jeans via *** tracking number, 1Z0219YV9091767616.  What is the status of the refund?

  I placed an order on October 8 for standard shipping 4-6 business days. My package was tracked and was supposed to be tendered from one delivery carrier to another on October 10th in 1-3 days. It is now October 30th, and Prana is "investigating the issue" but will not issue me a refund until their investigation is finished so they are holding my money but have provided nothing in exchange for it, and this is absolutely unacceptable.

  I placed an order on the ************************** website for three pairs of pants. The regular price ($95 each) was crossed out and $47.50 was shown. This is with the specific style, size, color, etc. that I selected and ordered. I was charged the full price amount. The attached screen shots from the prana website clearly show that the price was $47.50 per pair. Prana needs to refund $142.50 which is the difference overcharged from the advertised price.

   When we spoke with the customer on the phone on 10/25/24, we explained that the colorway they were selecting to purchase was not part of the promotional pricing and would not be honored.

  Customer Answer

  Their explanation does not align with the way their website works and is very misleading. We've already went through this with them and they said they would make no exception or credit the difference. The specific size and color was selected that I ordered and it showed the sale price, but they charged me the full price. It doesn't get much simpler then that. It's misleading marketing and sales practices, intentional or not. They need to fix their website if it's truly a website issue, but even so, they should make the price adjustment.

  prAna refused to honor its limited three warranty to repair, replace, provide a refund or store credit for a defective product. A pair of yoga pants that I purchased in March **************************************** *********, OR developed a hole in the seam of the crotch after minimal use and following proper washing instructions. When I tried to make a warranty claim I was told that the warranty was completely void because I had removed the white fabric tag from inside the yoga pants. No where in the published warranty policy does it indicate that the three-year warranty is void if the consumer removes the fabric tag. A consumer is not given any notice that the warranty would be void and removing the annoying fabric tag is a pretty common practice, particularly when the tag is multiple layers thick and in tight fitting clothing. These pants are clearly defective and prAna has refused to provide any remedy at all.

  This issue has not been resolved and prAna has unreasonably refused to communicate with me or work towards a resolution. I received a voicemail message and several emails from someone on the "Leadership Team" at prAna about my BBB complaint. This person indicated that they must speak with me on the phone about this issue but said that they do not have a number where I can call them. They insisted they had to schedule a time to call me and repeatedly refused to communicate about this issue via email, despite having sent multiple emails about how they must speak with me on the phone. I explained that I work a full-time job and cannot predict when I'm available for a call but could call them when I'm free. I was told this wasn't an option and they closed my case again without attempting to resolve it.

  prAna has unreasonably refused to even attempt to resolve this issue. They continuously refused to communicate about this issue over email and insisted they must speak with me on the phone but refused to provide any means for me to call them. I repeatedly explained that I cannot take calls during my workday and do not have regularly scheduled breaks. I emailed them twice with times that I was able to take a 30-minute break; they called once but my phone didn't ring and I immediately emailed them and said I was still available for a few minutes. They didn't call back. I emailed them again the next day to say I was available during another 30-minute break and they didn't call me at all. Instead, they closed my case again and said they considered the issue resolved. prAna sells overpriced, defective clothing, unlawfully refuses to honor their published warranty policy, and has unreasonably refused to communicate with me about this issue. There is absolutely no reason they cannot email me to resolve this. We had numerous emails back and forth where they insist they must call me instead. They have wasted considerable time and provided no resolution.

  I placed an order with this company on 5/26. They sent shipping confirmation a couple days later, but the tracking info only says "label created", indicating the item has not been picked up, and it has not updated to this day (6/17). They made me wait 14 days before they would take any action, and now after reaching back out they are just now beginning an "investigation" to see what happened. All I want at this point is my money back for an order that never shipped. Their business practice of making a customer wait weeks while holding said customers money hostage is completely unacceptable. There is no end in sight, so I'm reaching out in hope you can help.
