      I contacted customer service on 2/18 because an item less than $4 was lost in the mail and hadn't arrived by the shipment time frame. The customer service representative processed a return for the wrong tracking number on my order even though I had provided them with this information the chat.I attempted to make a purchase on your website on Saturday 3/12, Sunday 3/13, and on Monday 3/14. My shipping address and/or credit card has been incorrectly tagged as fraudulent and customer service was not knowledgeable in how to make changes so I can continue to shop with your business.Please also review the interaction with the customer service agent because they didn't recap my order correctly.

      I am rejecting this response because: I called the verification department and Im still unable to place orders shipping to my home. Verification transferred me back to customer service without any explanation for my order issues. Can I please work with somebody from the corporate office to resolve my issue? Im also locked out of two $15 gift cards now.

      I recently attempted to exchange two defective bras, totaling $90, which had broken underwires in the same spot, and the bling was falling off immedielty after i put it on. When I went to the store, the supervisor was rude and hostile. I explained I didn't have the receipt but had the credit cards used for the purchase. She refused the exchange and couldn't provide me a reason and she threw the bras in my face. I was on the phone with customer service during the interaction, and they overheard everything. No one took the time to look me up in the system or ask my name. I felt racially profiled because i was wearing a hijab and treated as though I had stolen the items. l also asked for corporate contact information, but was told by staff that they had other customers to assist and then when trying to ask for assistance they acted like i wasn't there.

      after purchasing items I realized that I had purchased the wrong sizes and accidentally added something extra into my order I decided to attempt to cancel so I could attempt to reorder, I realized only within 1 hour within purchasing , my order had not been shipped but they refused to cancel my order , after speaking to 2 representatives and even calling customer service they still denied my cancellation claiming my order had been shipped even though I had received no notification of the shipment and the order still said proccessing. I have still not resolved this issue as they still refuse to cancel the order.

      I picked up my online order today. I am missing an entire bra from my order. I am upset because I purchased three bras under the impression I would be receiving three. Two associates were helping me and neither one of them informed me there were items missing from my order. I saw the bra I ordered online sitting on the shelf, and they would not add it to my order. The associate told me they would have to process all of my other items as a return, causing me to lose the coupon I've already used.

      I made a purchase of four items and wanted to return 3. I created a return label using Label Broker per VS. My Label Broker QR was generated and a label printed. I then sent my return off for processing, with the tracking number provided by VS. The item was scanned, accepted, and was DELIVERED to the VS returns agent on 2/20/25. However, VS does not even show my return as shipped. I reached out to customer service and they were completely unhelpful, just telling me return policies instead of responding to my issue. I have a receipt from **** that shows my return was shipped and the tracking indicates it was delivered to **, yet VS is refusing to assist me. I would like the refund for the 3 items that I returned.

      On 02/19/25 I placed an order on Victorias ************************** and wanted to use my spring promo card which was for 20$ off 50$ as well as a free *****. I tried to use both offers on my order and it would only let me use the $20 off one despite me having a qualifying purchase plus a full priced *****. I went ahead and placed the order and immediately after contacted support. Spent forever going back and forth with them then they asked for the item number of the ******* I wanted to add for free and as soon as I went back to tell them the chat was disconnected by them and even worse, now when I hit the chat button it wont even open a window.

      While shopping in the store they offered me a store credit. However after approval I never received the card and its been months but I am being consistently charged and cannot see the charges etc. I have to go in person and pay cash only because I dont have a card and no one can tell me what the charges are. I am literally just paying blindly. After speaking to two of the payment collectors which I called in they refused to assist me. They were beyond rude and now I am receiving 3 to 4 calls a day but when I call in I am getting no help!!!!
