    Ordered a dress online. The package came destroyed and the dress was also damaged. Tried to contact *** and was unable to ever contact anyone regarding a replacement or refund. Now have to pay $7 to ship it back after paying $14.99 for expedited shipping to in the end lose $21.99 in shipping alone.

    Good afternoon Aja, I hope you are well.

    My name is ***** and I work in the escalations team here at Pretty Little Thing where we deal with escalated queries. 

    I am sorry to hear that the dress you ordered arrived damaged. I can definitely get this resolved for you and appreciate you sending the pictures right away. 

    I have had a look and can see that we have the same dress currently still in stock in a size 12 so I would like to offer you a re-order? They would be exactly the same size and sent you with no further cost on the fastest available delivery method.

    If the dress is no longer in stock when we hear back from you then we will process a full refund instead. 

    There is no need to return the faulty dress to us on this occasion. Please feel free to dispose of this as you wish.

    Speak soon,

    *****

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. The dress is for my graduation and Id appreciate it if it is sent by *********** shipping since I paid ***** for that exact shipping method previously and need it urgently. 

    Sincerely,

    *** *******

    I placed an order on April 25th and received a damaged product. I spent $22.50 on the dress and $14.99 on shipping plus tax coming to a total of $38.51. I reached out to customer service numerous times to resolve this issue due to the dress being for my graduation. I received no response or little to no help resulting in me filing a complaint with the BBB. I was told I would be receiving a replacement dress (size 12) with fastest delivery method or a refund if my response was received after the dress sold out. I responded promptly and still have yet to receive anything (dress or refund) a week later. At this point, I need a full refund of $38.51 as the product I paid expedited shipping on was damaged and not useable and the replacement (if sent) will be received after graduation.

    Business Response

    Date: 05/08/2025

    Good afternoon Aja, thank you for getting back in touch with us. 

    I'm really sorry to hear that you haven't received an update from us in regards to the faulty dress you have received after we offered a replacement or a refund. 

    In your recent email you have advised you wish to receive a full refund due to the time being passed. 

    I have gone ahead and issued a full refund for you and $38.51 was issued back to your Afterpay account and you will receive this soon. 

    You do not need to return this dress back to us, please dispose of this as you see fit. 

    Take care,

    Devon

    I ordered a dress and bracelet from pretty little thing on April 14, it was supposed to arrive last week and I need it for an event this weekend but they have decided to use a horrible extremely badly reviewed postal service called speedx, my order was deemed undeliverable because whoever tried to deliver it did not deliver it to my address, I have not received my package and Ive tried to reach speedx with no luck and prettylittlething is even worse, their customer service is horrible Im not able to speak to anyone and they offer no help, DO NOT ORDER FROM PLT unless you want to lose money

    Hi Kiera, hope you are well. 

    My name is ******* and I am part of the *** Escalations Team. Thank you for reaching out to us and for making us aware about the issue you have had with the delivery of your order. I am sorry to hear your order has not yet arrived, I completely understand what you are saying and why you feel this way, especially as this order was needed for an event. Please rest assured, it is not our intention to make you feel this way at all and all your feedback has been taken on board as we are always looking for ways to improve our services, where needed.

    I have taken a look on the tracking of your order and I can see it last updated on the 19th April showing "no access - the package is undeliverable and will be returned to the facility" You can see this via the link here: *****************************************************

    As your tracking still shows will be returned to the facility, the carrier may still attempt to deliver your parcel, which is why we ask that you allow until the 28th April to see if your order is delivered.However, if your order is not delivered on or before the 28th April or your tracking shows your order has been "returned to sender" please let us know and then we will be able to assist further then.

    Please note, as standard delivery was selected on your order it can take between 5-8 working days to reach you and this timescale doesnt include any bank holidays we have had recently. You can see this via the link here: **********************************************************

    Take care - Lindsay

    Thank you for your reply Klive 

    The parcels have been delivered to the address listed on your account, and have been placed inside lockers which is considered a safe and secure location. 

    Based on this information we will not be offering any refund for these items.

    You are welcome to seek third party advise from your card provider should you wish. We will of course provide any information they request to bring this to a close for you.

    I am filing a complaint against PrettyLittleThing regarding their refusal to issue a refund for $226.28 worth of merchandise that I returned via **** on March 16th, 2025.When dropping off the return, I followed all return instructions carefully. I printed out the ** code and included it with the return package, clearly writing my contact information on the outside of the parcel. Due to a cracked phone screen, I could not present the code digitally, so I left the printed copy with the associate at the return location, per their instructions. The representatives were also very rude and not willing to help.Shortly after, I received a call informing me that the paper containing the code had been lost, despite the package still being in their possession. I was told the return could not be processed without regenerating a new code or label, but I no longer had the merchandiseit had already been handed over. Since then, I have reached out multiple times via email to explain the situation in detail and request a resolution, but have received no helpful response and no ********* the customer, I did *************************** correctly and acted in good faith. The failure to properly scan the code or secure the printed copy lies with their associate and process, not with me. I should not be held financially responsible for their negligence. I have now been without either my merchandise or my refund for weeks.I am requesting an immediate full refund of $226.28. I am happy to provide email documentation and evidence of communication, including the original emails and subsequent follow-ups.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope this can be resolved quickly.Desired Outcome: Full refund of $226.28 Sincerely,***** ***** ********************

    Good afternoon *****, 

    I can confirm you have already spoken with us via email about this matter on 28th March in which my colleague Jade provided a reasoning for our resolution. I can confirm our resolution is the same and you are welcome to seek 3rd party action if you wish to however based on the information we have from you and our returns system, this will be our full and final resolution.

    Hi *****

    We have provided a full explanation on our resolution for this claim, and with the return label we provided not showing to have been used, this would mean the return was not made correctly and we will not be able to issue a refund. As advised by Jade in a separate email:

    "Having checked our systems, I can see you have already spoken with our customer services team regarding this matter and it was confirmed that as you are outside of our returns timescale, we will no longer be able to accept your return. 
    The returns ** code generated for this order is not showing to have been scanned and once the ** code is scanned by your local UPS point, a returns label is printed and placed on top of the parcel then and there. As the ** code from our returns portal was not scanned, it would not have been possible to have created a returns label nor for this to have been lost.
    This would mean the order had attempted to be returned incorrectly and as previously confirmed, we will not be able to assist further with your return and we will not be able to accept your return outside of timescale on this occasion. 
    You're welcome to escalate the matter to whomever you see fit but you will receive the same response and this response will not change. "

     

    It is fully our customers responsibility to ensure the return is made correctly and this does include ensuring the given ** code is scanned and a label printed for it, put on the parcel and the proof of postage receipt kept safe. We can not take responsibility for you not doing this, and this return allegedly being given to the courier where no proof of receipt was given. 

    This is our full and final resolution on this and we will not be able to advise further.

    On Sunday March 23, I purchased 4 items with Pretty Little Thing, totalling $81.33. When the items arrived Saturday March 29, I noticed that one of the shirts (a Green Sheer Jacquard Shirt) was damaged on both sleeves. The shirt cost about $14. That evening, I went to their website and filed a complaint to give further information about the item. After no response, I sent a similar message to their Instagram page, another option their website offers, this time with pictures of the damage attached. As of today, 4/10/2025, I have received no response from either outlet. My order confirmation # is: 525-0834597-6733173

    Good morning Alanna 
    My name is *****, and I work on the Group Escalations Team here at PrettyLittleThing where we deal with all escalated queries. I have been passed your case by BBB, and I will be more than happy to help today.

    You have done the right thing in letting me know about this, and Im sure we can sort this out for you, Im just sorry to hear you have received an item that is not up to our usual high standard.

    I have reviewed the images you have kindly provided, and can see the tearing is quite significant. As such, I have refunded the Green Sheer Jacquard Shirt for you now. That will be $13.90 back to your card account by April 30th. If you cant locate the funds by this date, please check back to your original order date of March 24th, as some funds can show dropping back in around this time.

    Dont worry about sending the faulty Shirt back to us, we dont require it on this occasion. If you or anyone you know is a pro with a needle and thread, maybe this can be made in to something new? If not, please feel free to donate to a charity or clothing bank.

    Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day!

    Ordered on March 17th, was told package shipped on March 18th. Tracking number they provided has not been update since it only says waiting for package. I contact customer support on March 26th was initially told your order is on the way a running on time. Please allow until 9pm for it to arrive. The package never arrived. I contacted again on March 27th and they changed their story to you package is on its way but running a little late and says in the order is not received by April 5th it will be considered lost. I spoke with another representative and they said wait until March 28th for the courier to deliver. Still received no package. I contacted them for a final time letting them know I would be filing a dispute for theft with my bank, and they said I know this isnt ideal but can you allow the parcel to update and to be delivered on of before 11th of April

    I am so sorry to hear your parcel has not arrived as expected.

    Ive had a look into your tracking, and can see your parcel was last updated April 3rd as being on its way to ***** who is the final courier to deliver your parcel.
    As this has been updated recently please could I kindly ask you allow a further 48 hours for your parcel to get to you? Here is your tracking link to keep updated  **************************************************************************************

    I fully appreciate a late parcel is far from ideal and I cant apologise enough that your order is delayed. We do work closely alongside our couriers to ensure deliveries are made on time, and while we try to anticipate some potential delays (particularly during busy periods), unforeseen circumstances can arise to which we have no control

    I have refunded your delivery fee as your parcel is running late, and the 5.39 will reach your card account no later than April 24th.

    In the event there is no update within this timeframe, we will then investigate further with the courier into why it hasnt updated and been delivered as expected.

    Thank you for your patience and take care.

    Hi LaTasha 

    Thank you for getting in touch, I'm sorry to hear your order has experienced a delay in getting to you.
    I've had a look at the tracking and I can see the parcel last updated to show it's being processed for delivery so should be with you soon. You can find the tracking here:
    *****************************************************

    I do apologize for this delay, but please can you allow the courier a little longer to get this parcel to you and keep an eye on your tracking for further updates on an expected delivery time. Although delays with our couriers are rare, when a delay does happen, due to the volume of parcels our couriers handle, they ask to allow time to sort this out and have the parcel delivered. ****** with delivery are fully outlined in the agreed terms and conditions of all our orders, and I can see our customer service team have already issued a refund on the delivery charge as a gesture of goodwill, even though a delivery service is still expected to be provided. I can also see the team raised this with a manager internally and they have advised the same, and we will not be able to advise differently on this. Our customer service team handle all complaints and their responses to your messages were acknowledgement of your complaint. 

    If there has been no further updates on your tracking and the parcel still isn't with you by the 9th April at the latest, please do let me know and I'll be able to declare this parcel as lost and have the order refunded to you straight away. Rest assured; the parcel is still expected to get to you before then and the courier will be working hard to have this delivered as soon as possible.

    I really appreciate your patience with this,

    Hi *******

    The 18th March was never advised by us, and the original expected delivery date for this parcel was the 21st March. Standard Delivery is a 9 business day delivery service and with the order being placed on the 10th March. When we first requested to allow until the 24th March, this was due to the tracking showing updates and delays are usually resolved by couriers within that given timeframe. The new timeframe is one in which we need to allow for us to be able to declare the parcel as lost with the courier. The parcel is still expected to be delivered and I can see this has updated again yesterday so is not lost in transit:

    **************************************************************************************

    The tracking is also showing delivery is expecting to be made on the 27th March so we are confident this parcel will get to you.

    As explained in my previous email, the team raised this with a manager internally and they have advised the same and we will not be changing our response on this. Delays are outlined in the agreed terms and conditions with all our orders and with this parcel continuing to track, it is expected to be delivered and do need to allow time for this to get to you. Delivery timeframes are also estimates and not only has a refund has been issued on the shipping fee which we would not usually offer where delivery is still expected to be provided, a free express delivery code for your next order has also been given.

    With your complaint now being made through BBB, it has come to the Group Escalations Team here at PLT and there is no higher platform to raise a complaint to and until the given timeframe has passed, we will not be able to provide an alternative resolution on this. 

    Thanks

    I have all text messages and information that has been attached advising and backing everything k have stated. The very first representative I spoke with saw the expected delivery date of March 18th which he then told me of the delivery times and advised March 21st. Regardless of what youre saying MULTIPLE dates have been said and this isnt a good way to conduct business. Again youre confident in yet another delivery date which has been said time and time again. 
    Ive looked at all tracking and again the parcel has not moved from the previous days/ week. 
    I asked for a manager PREVIOUS to BBB being involved. 
    again no accountability and no resolution.

    Hi *******

    I have provided an explanation for the dates being provided, and again, the original expected delivery date which is in line with the delivery timeframes shown on our website for this order is the 21st March, as advised by our customer service team. With the parcel still tracking at the time, we asked to allow until the 24th as this is the timeframe couriers ask to allow to sort out any delays. With the parcel then not being delivered by then, our lost parcel timeframe was provided which was the date in which we could declare the parcel as lost with the courier.
    The tracking I provided in previous messages does show the parcel has been tracking with the courier and has not at any stage gone a week without updates. This is shown on the tracking history for the parcel. The parcel has now been delivered on the 27th March, as advised it was shown to be expected to be in my previous message and this can again be seen here:
    **************************************************************************************

    I apologise for the delay this parcel experienced in getting to you, but the timeframe our customer service team asked to allow was one that was agreed with couriers in which they ask to allow parcels to be delivered after a delay with them.  A refund on the delivery charge and a free delivery code for your next order has also been provided, which is more than we would usually offer under the circumstances, and was given as an apology for this delay in delivery.
    I hope you enjoy your order and have a lovely day

    Thanks - ****

    Order: 525-0721542-8894067 I ordered clothes and heels from this scam of a website on March 13th then on March 14 I get refunded for the heels because they magically decided that it was out of stock! Which ****** me off because I planned for an entire outfit for my birthday. Then on ********** I checked the tracking from my package and I see that it was delivered to a different city I contacted customer service and they are telling me that they cannot refund me because it's in a parcel Locker!? I literally have a mailbox why would my package be in a parcel Locker? And why is it marked as delivered in a different city? They are still refusing to issue me a refund I am highly disgusted not only did they cancel the shoes now I will never get my package I will contact my bank to report PLT for fraud!Update: I spoke to my local USPS supervisor who tracked the package and was able to find out that my package was actually miss delivered to a different address! And I have uploaded the letters here from that supervisor. This goes to show you that *** is indeed a fraud because they stated to me several times that based on their findings I don't know what fraud findings they are using to determine whether a package is lost or not.

    Thank you for raising this with us today using BBB, my name is ***** and I work in the Group Escalations Team here at Pretty Little Thing.

    Having checked your order, I can see that the courier has confirmed delivery on March 20th to a collection location located at ******************** you can follow this further here: **************************************************************************************

    We understand this collection point is roughly 6 minutes from your home address and is easily accessible for you to collect and obtain your parcel. As the delivery has been confirmed and collection can be obtained no refund will be issued for your order.

    On march 4, 2025 I placed an order with pretty little thing. I received an email stating that the order should be received on or before March 13, 2025. On the tracking site, there has not been any movement since March 6, 2025. I contacted pretty little thing via email on March 18, 2025 , to advise of this. I was told to wait until March 28 to see if the delivery would be successful.. I explained to them that I was not willing to wait an additional 10 days to satisfy their investigation. I was met with we understand your frustrations, however being that the order has already been shipped out ,we cannot cancel it at this time . but once I receive it, you can return it for a full refund Which is absolutely insane. Not only what I have to wait on the shipment to arrive eventually, but I would have to go through a return process and an additional timeframe to allow a refund. At this point, I am without my money and merchandise. This is absolutely unacceptable and I will not be doing business again with pretty little thing.

    Hello ******,

    Thank you for your contact here on BBB's service today. I am sorry to hear you have not received your order as expected.

    My name is ***** and I work in the Group Escalations Team and I will certainly look into this further for you.

    Having checked your order, I can see that the courier has not provided a valid tracking update since March 6th. I know this is not ideal when you have been waiting for your order to arrive, however we are contracted with our couriers to allow time for them to make the delivery or provide an update with tracking before we can declare a parcel as lost and take further measures to resolve this for you.

    As such we ask that you allow until March 29th for this to be delivered or updated and should you not receive this at that time then please do get back to our **************** team who will be able to resolve this for you right away.

    Kind regards,
    *****

    I do not accept the response to the complaint because I am not willing to wait an additional  eight days to possibly receive the shipment and then ultimately start a lengthy return process.

    Good morning ******, I hope you are well. 

    I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with the previous responses in regards to your order which hasn't arrived yet. 

    I have taken a look into your order and can see that the order was shipped from our UK warehouse on the 6th March and was received by the 7th March to the courier. 

    Whilst the vast majority of our parcels are dispatched on time to our couriers, very rarely there can be an unavoidable delay, which holds them up. We work as closely with our couriers to ensure disruption is as minimal as possible and the majority of our parcels are delivered within the delivery promise.


    Please allow until 29th March for your parcel to be delivered to you. This allows time for us to ask the courier to investigate and either locate your order and deliver it to you or confirm to us that it has been lost. Once we have received confirmation from them, we will then be able to either re-order your items for you (subject to stock availability).


    As long as the tracking does not update again, this is also the longest time frame we have to allow - they may locate it well before then and get it on its way again and if you haven't received it by 29th drop us a message and we will arrange your re-order for you.

    Take care

    Devon
