I had just placed a large order of their Semi Annual Sale items and then I got an email notifying me of price drops. Almost all the items I had just bought had decreased in price and my order hasn't even shipped yet. Their website says they do price adjustments within 14 days and to contact them for the difference. I did an online chat with three separate people who would say my order wasn't eligible and then end the chat so that I couldn't respond to them and the chat would disappear. The first person I asked to cancel my order since I had just ordered the day before and it hasn't shipped yet but she said I couldn't cancel. The difference in sale price came to $46.19 which I would like credited since they state they do price adjustments.Business response

To Whom IT May ******** I would like to file a complaint to have my items that I ordered from Bath and Body Works on June 3rd,2024 with a order number of:00474224046314 in the amount of ******. I have recieved Confirmation and Shipping email from Bath and Body Work stating that the 19 items that I ordered were confirmed and delivered; however I have not received the merchandise within the estimated delivery date of June 6th,2024- June 12th,2024. On June 20th,2024 I spoke with a Customer Representative in reference to my purchase. The **************** Representative stated that my order was canceled. I asked if I could speak with a Supervisor or Manger regarding the my order, accept I was not transferred. Today (June 26th,2024), I called Bath and Body Works to inquire about my order once more for redelivery, or a store credit. The **************** Representative stated that i will recieve a refund in 3-5 business. Thereafter I asked to speak with a Supervisor or Manager to ask about if the items can be redelivered as opposed to having a refund. The **************** Representative stated that I couldn't speak with a Supervisor or Manger and reassured me that I will recieve a refund. I would prefer to have the items that I ordered delivered. I have also requested to pick the items up the nearest store, however I was not offered a resolution. I have attached a screenshot from my Bath and Body Works Account below.Business response

Twice in the last year I have placed orders online and I receive an order confirmation email but the order never processes. I submit the order number, my name, and email address and the system is unable to locate. For the first order about a year ago, I had used a coupon (about 25% off) and since the order didn’t go through, I asked via customer service chat if I could still use that coupon code. I was told “no” and that I would receive a new code via email. I did receive a code but it was for 20% off, not 25% off. The latest order I am experiencing the same thing but now I actually have money taken out of my bank account. I contacted customer service and chatted with “*****” who asked for my order number multiple times to the point that I provided “*****” a screen shot. He said he couldn’t find my order, I asked if this issue could be escalated to a higher team, and he replied “I am unable to resolve your issue” and abruptly ended the chat.Customer response

A long story: On June 9, they had a 25% sale and I tried to make a purchase of about $55.xx paid with 2 gift cards ($17.90 and $35.00) and credit card (for the remaining). However, an error message showed that the payment method needed to be rechecked. I tried again, but it wasn't successful. Hence, NO ORDER NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. Then, I realized my 2 gift cards' balance were all deducted. I called in the next day, and they said that the new e-gift card will be issued in the next 72 hours, so I waited. Until June 19, I checked the email and nothing was there. They DID NOT SEND ANY NEW GIFT CARD LIKE THEY TOLD. Hence, I made a call again, provided them the gift cards' numbers I used for the purchase AGAIN. They made the request of refund, and guess what, they told me to wait for another 72 hours AGAIN. I'm getting to lose my patience at this point because the semi-annual sale is about to end, and a lot of items are almost sold out. On June 24, after waiting like 72 hours, I called and provided them my ticket number they gave me last time, and they responded "We didn't see any refund request from the ticket you provided". ???!!!!! And of course, the staff was limited of what they can do. They made ANOTHER request AGAIN, and TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR 72 HRS AGAIN!!!!!! I SAID I DON'T WANT TO WAIT NO MORE, AND ASK HIM IF ANY OTHER RESOLUTION CAN BE DONE. HE SAID IT'S THE ONLY WAY. AND MAYBE IF POSSIBLE, JUST WAIT FOR ONE MORE DAY IF I AM RECEIVING MY REFUND. On June 25, I had to call in again. Same situation happened again. Nothing can be done without WAITING AND WAITING. And I'm getting FED UP WITH YOUR SYSTEM SO CRAZY, BATH AND BODY WORKS! I ONLY WANT MY REFUND BEFORE JUL 1 TO CATCH UP THE SEMI-ANNUAL SALE. I WANT NOTHING ELSE. YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME FOR THIS SIMPLE, YET UNRESOLVED ISSUE! THANKS.Customer response

Order number *********26156 was marked as damaged by UPS. I contacted customer service to resolve my issue and arranged to have 4 items resent and 9 items refunded. Upon refund, the total refund amount (15.92+15.92+4.25+tax) was not properly refunded. I called back again to see why, and was told the amount would be adjusted, but it was not adjusted correctly. I would just like my full refund.Business response

I’m going to try and make a long story short.
I’m starting to think it’s the store and back office and retail personnel have no connection. If Im personally in store don’t push me to call customer service because the worker can’t think outside the box and dependency on a computer is crazy.
I went to the store Father’s Day 2024 to pick up an online order. This is how I make most purchases and I’ve been shopping with this company over 25 years. Also when I place online orders for Instore pick up. I want to be in the store less than 5 mins.
Order #************ was placed in 6/14. I realized I had a 10 dollars off 40.00 coupon. I said in store the adjustment can be made. I get there I’m told let her cancel my online order and I can re-buy the stuff and use my coupon. We attempt to do that but my coupon isn’t scanning they said I used it already. I said no I didn’t provide the date. She couldn’t after going back and fourth and it’s Father’s Day so I’m busy this was suppose to be a quick pick up. She goes I can’t do anything.
I was trying to get out the mall in 30 mins so I didn’t have to pay parking. They took so long and didn’t know WTH was going on I said ring my stuff up you’re a mgr and incompetent, she did that. I asked for the receipt for items returned. She couldn’t provide that, I said did I get points for the items I rebought she didn’t know, and I paid for parking due to all the time spent in the store.
I want a price adjustment and I want to know what’s going on with the lack of service in store. What’s going to be done for the inconvenience. I can go into more details on the phone. I’m disgusted

I was shopping for Christmas December 16,2023 and needed a refund.I was told to come back in 3/5 business days if I didn't want a gift card. I waited but when I returned the employee could give me my refund.Per their instructions I returned to this store in the ********* Mall 3 times until they finally called customer service and I was given a ticket number for the refund.After waiting I have called numerous times and have constantly been told it would be done.Seeing that they couldn't I filed a dispute with my bank and was given a provisional credit.My bank took the credit back after being told that Bath and Bodyworks would give my refund back.I spoke with several representatives and supervisors and waited patiently doing everything they asked. Other than me calling they've only emailed me twice to find out what was going on. A month and a half ago they finally stated they would mail it to me within 14/21 days. I've waited to no avail. I have called at least once a week and nothing happens other than being told the same thing. It's the same run around they gave me before. This company has shown that they do not care for their customers. It shouldn't be this difficult to receive a refund. I expect to be treated the same as I was when I was spending my money. However, I have been shown how small the customer really is & once the money is spent the refund is not important to them.Customer response

My apologies for not responding. However, I agreed with the decision to mail my refund. I have not responded because I have been told this before. My decision was to wait until that actually happened. While I know this may be unusual, due to the circumstances that I've been told this several times I have found it important to wait until Bath and Bodyworks makes good on their promise. Because they have told me several times it would be taken care of and they have apologized to me, as the customer I have been made to feel really small. Once I physically receive my refund in hand will I actually believe them. They did email a gift card for my inconvenience. I appreciate that but will not use it because I'll no longer shop with them. I didn't agree to a gift card in the beginning because I wanted my money back. As I do appreciate the gesture receiving my refund is what is important and what I am waiting for.

Thank you for your response. Again I apologize for waiting to send my response. I am still waiting to receive my refund. I was told it may take 14 to 21 business days so I am again being patient. Hopefully this time I will receive it.Customer response

Thank you BBB for helping me with this complaint. Since December of 2023 I was unsuccessful in receiving my refund. After countless unsuccessful calls, rude customer service and being given ridiculous excuses I finally received my refund via regular mail. Although I don't plan on being a customer because of my treatment and the way this was handled I am very pleased that this is finally over. Thank you again and I will say Thank you to Bath and Bodyworks. None of this should have happened but in the future I hope no other customers have this type of experience with this company. It shouldn't have come to having an outside entity to help resolve a matter this company should provide to its customers. It has only made me feel very small and that they only care about the money I spend with them. Again so that I won't get upset again I want to thank you again for helping me get my refund.Initial Complaint

My concern is what is happening to your company??? There are store issues that need to be addressed., that goes nowhere when you speak with a store associate. When you call to customer service, you do not reach a ****** ****** representative anymore. Also, you cannot be transferred to anyone in the ****** ******. Everyone that answers is ********, which I am sure that the company has now outsourced a different group to handle calls for the company.. When a customer is angry about an experience or a situation, they certainly don’t want to deal with someone that is not in the ****** ****** that does not understand their concern properly. As well as someone that cannot speak clear English and that you have to repeat yourself over and over for someone to understand with no resolution ever being made. I have experienced issues and concerns that I would like to address with someone and again he does not escalate if you try to attempt to speak to the store about a certain situation.Business response
