      I placed an order for several items on 7/2. They were all shipped and received separately. I received one of the items, Navy Pinstriped dress pants, on 7/8- the bag it arrived in was in great shape. Once I took the pants out, I noticed immediately the fabric was in bad shape. It looked as if someone wore these pants numerous times, then put them in a washer & dryer, only then to return. The fabric has little fuzzballs all over it- the stitching in the waist coming undone- pieces of thread sticking out, and the legcuffs stitching coming undone, with threads loosely sticking also. Furthermore, I noticed a hole n the pant leg, at the bottom of the cuff. These are dress pants meant to be worn with a blazer. Things happen, I get that. This complaint is about the condition of the pants, but more importantly the way I was treated- My 1st call was pleasant, a rep informed me not to worry, she'll send out a replacement immediately due to the condition, as I would expect- (I wasn't the one that sent the pants in bad shape, QA should've caught this) and that she'll waive shipping back for the original. A few hours passed, and no confirmation email of the above, so I called back, and it went down hill from there! I was advised that I was lying about this, was hung up on(once by an actual supervisor disconnecting the call, and the other supervisor abruptly placed me on hold, w/o even telling me 15mins into the call, and left me on hold for 14 mins, w/o checking in/getting back on the phone, so naturally I disconnected that call.) I even provided the name of the rep, and they located her in the system. Apparently not good enough. During the call, I had to instruct the sup to stop yelling at me, and after 4-5 times, his response was "what if I am yelling, what's wrong with that." I was in the twilight zone. SMH. My request wasn't unreasonable- I didn't ask for compensation, all I wanted was the item I paid for, the way it was presented. Not enough space to list everything-terrible

      I lost my package and filed a claim with UPS which showed that UPS misplaced my package and is now lost. I contacted Express and they lied on multiple occasions about giving me a refund. After a month of chasing them they tell me that they won't refund me. I am a dentist and make over 500k I don't need your measly $356 dollars back, it's the principle of me never receiving the package. Worst costumer service and company. Will NEVER shop there again, can't be trusted.

      Thank you for providing feedback about your missing/lost order and the efforts made to address the issue through UPS’s dispute process. It’s always disappointing for us to hear of circumstances like this, especially when they are beyond our control to rectify. Your input is valuable to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Sincerely, Express Customer Experience
