      ******** use to have quality clothing. I am so furious that I spent $400 last month on a jacket and clothes for my young daughter. The jeans and pants were all great. I can't complain. But every single shirt, sweater, sweatshirt I bought has either shrunk, had pills, or just faded after only 1 wash. I did not complain right away because it started with just 2 long sleeve shirts (that are washed in cold water) then it was a sweatshirt that had fuzz all over it after 1 wash, then another sweatshirt. $40 sweatshirts not on sale. I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for out of this complaint, I do not have the receipts because I paid cash. I bought a winter ***** that the zipper broke, it's thin and cheap. I'm so very furious over this. Money is so tight because of the cost of everything right now and ******** really pushed me over the edge with their very poorly made clothing. I will never buy from ******** ever again and it's clear that they are going out of business rather quickly.

      I am rejecting this response because:I did mail the pajama bottoms to the online center and they were returned to me because they were washed. I then took them to the store and was to!d by manager they would not take them back because they were washed and it is there policy to not return items that are washed irregardless of them shrinking.the manager did not even take them out of the bag to examine them. I was dismissed as soon as I said they shrank .I want a refund for the damaged Pajama pants

      On 12/5/2023, I contacted *** regarding order #1GL62NW being marked delivered but not received. I was told that I had to wait 2 weeks to even be eligible to have my order investigated. Today, 12/18/2023, I reached out again, to inform ON that the package never surfaced and property management also hadn't reported seeing it. I had expressed that this was a time-sensitive order on 12/5/2023, and expressed dissatisfaction that I had to wait 2 weeks to initiate an inquiry when that 2 weeks could be spent locating this package. Everyone apologizes, no one actually helps. The *** told me to wait until 12/20/2023 to reach out a third time, at which point "necessary actions would be taken". He repeated this phrase on multiple occasions, at which point I asked him to explain those actions and to clarify if they would include a refund. He would not or could not answer this question. I rephrased, again and again, the rep would not answer clearly. I then asked to speak to a manager. The rep denied my request, so I insisted. He said the only thing he could do was "escalate" my concern, which would require a phone call. As a deaf person, that is not my preferred method of communication. I told the rep i would prefer email, he said thats not an option. I finally explained that I'm disabled. The rep didn't care lol Can you imagine in 2023, a business refusing to assist a disabled customer? Oh they'll assist me when I'm spending my money, but addressing a valid concern is where they draw the line. I want my money back, not now, but NOW. I will never spend another dime with this company or its subsidiaries and everyone should know how intolerant ******** is. This company needs better training all around, but bold-faced ableism is a low low.

      I purchased a gift to my son that resides in ****** ** with personal note and gift receipt. None of this was provided. I called today customer service to complain and ask for the gift receipt to be sent to him but I heard I am sorry it cant be done because its system generated. I think that is unacceptable. My son should be able to exchange the item for different size or different item if he wishes. Not to mention my personal note not being there. Order # #1GQBG07

      On 12-14-23 I checked my bank card accounts and noticed there was an ******** charge on 12-13-23 of $233 + on one of my bank cards (order #1GRG88D). I looked up the order on my ******** acct because I had not done an order that large. It was for things I had not even clicked on or looked at and definitely would not consider buying them not to mention the clothing and flip flops purchased were not sizes I would order for anyone. I spoke to a **** Rep w/******** and asked for it to be cancelled due to fraud and mentioned it had not shipped yet but would be shipped to an address in ********* ** which I live in ******** **.

      On or about Nov 23, 2023 I placed an order online, order 1GFYF5L. It was for six items, but when I received it two of the items were missing. The two missing items:8093070520003 ************* On Dec 13 I tried to use chat to get my two missing items sent, only to be told that I would have to receive a refund, then place a new order, then call for a price match, in order to receive these items that, I have already paid for, and not received. Not acceptable. I have already requested a chargeback from my credit card of ****, but I also paid with an ******** gift card here, and need a refund of $19.11 on my gift card. (The total of the two missing items.) The ******** chat refused to refund my gift card.

      Received a delivery from the merchant however, none of the items that received were part of my order. I tried called to tell them that I didnt receive a single item from my order and all the lady could tell me was to return the items and if I wanted the items from my order, Id have to reorder everything and if I needed it sooner (since I told her they were Christmas gifts) then I can place the order with her right there in the phone, pay for the items again and wait for the refund. My problem is that I purchased these items with a gift card. Paying with my credit card DEFEATS the purpose of using a gift card especially since my refund will be in the form of a gift card. The items I need are now also at a higher price and/or no longer in stock. This is absolutely ridiculous. I now have 9 useless items instead of the 5 I ordered as gifts. She told me there was no one higher available to speak with despite the fact that customer service line is suppose to be available until 1am and I called before 10pm. I will gladly return these items since I have absolutely no use for any of it but now its all my fault that they couldnt get my order correct.

      Please know we want all of our customers to have a pleasant and seamless shopping experience and we sincerely apologize that the wrong items were delivered in order 1GLJMVF. We regret any further disappointment caused by the options available to assist in a situation such as this, but we are happy to see the original order was refunded and that you were able to reorder with the same pricing and free shipping.
