      I purchased these items on December 4th, the original shipping date was supposed to be December 13th-14th, without providing me with updates they sent an email on the 17th saying it was delivered. They provided me with no shipping updates that my items would arrive on the 17th and continued to delay the shipment. It was only until the 17th I got a email saying my order has been delivered. It was marked as delivered, but they were incorrect. When I returned from my trip the packages were not there. I contacted them multiple times and I was unable to get a response until the 31st as they notified me that I was unable to receive an exchange or even a refund. It was not successfully delivered as I did not receive my package. Even still now the out for delivery and delivered to customer has not had an update. All it still says is out with the courier. How am I supposed to know when is the new delivery date when they are making it unclear and not updating me when this new information. This has ruined my credit and I have gotten completely no help from them whatsoever, when I believe they are in the wrong. I am forced to pay this amount when I did not get the clothing items, and it has been hurting my credit. Just to clarify as well, this was an online order.

      On 02/13/2024, I purchased a coat through Zara's store in ******************* in *************, **. The salesperson ordered the item online because they didn't have the color I wanted in-store. The order # is *********** in the amount $76.02 and I paid with a credit card.I got an email from Zara on 2/17/2024 stating my order was cancelled. No other information was provided.Got another email from Zara on 2/19/2024 saying I should call them regarding my cancelled order.I called them on 2/22/2024 requesting for a refund via check. They claim they cannot refund the same credit card I used for the purchase which was really odd. There was another option available but I could not understand the person clearly.Got another email from Zara on 2/24/2024 asking me to call them again about the order.Feeling unsure about whether the email I got was a hoax or for real, I went to the same retail store where I ordered the item in question on 3/2/2024. Spoke with the assistant manager and asked why they cannot refund the same amount I paid and she said they cannot do it and I have to talk to customer service. I called their customer service while the manager was next to me. I asked again why they cannot refund my credit card directly and they just said the only option is via check or thru Zelle. I also learned the check was not mailed to me. So this time I chose the Zelle option. To this day, 3/14/2024, I still have not received the refund. I called again today 3/14/2024 and spoke with a rep named "******" (who will not give an employee number) to follow-up. I learned they have not sent my refund and it will take 4-5 weeks which is absurd as ***** takes seconds to process.Zara is deliberately delaying my refund and I demand they reimburse me right away, whether thru my credit card or Zelle. This is totally unacceptable.Thank you for your assistance on the matter.*******************
