After reviewing order **********, Payment Process: When you place an order on UrbanOutfitters.com, your credit or debit card is initially authorized (not charged) to ensure funds for the order are available. This authorization hold (not charge) will occur every 7 business days until your order ships. You will be charged when your order, or a portion of your order, has shipped. You will only be charged for the items that are shipped, along with applicable shipping and tax rates. When looking at her charges, the initial authorization was $212.44. One the packages shipped in 2 separate shipments, she was charged in 2 separate payments. 10/1/2021: $132.94 and 10/12/2021 $79.50. An authorization removal request was faxed to the customers bank headquarters to remove it. It is up to the bank to then remove the auth. We are very sorry for the inconvenience but rest assured that those authorizations will fall off and only 2 charges will remain. More information can be found here:

I requested a replacement bedframe from Urban Outfitters in July 2021 and they were supposed to pick up the broken bedframe at the same time. After waiting several weeks and storing the bedframe in my 900 square foot apartment for over a month, I sent an email in August 2021 to their customer service asking for it to be removed - I wrote in my email if it was not removed by the end of the month, I would be disposing of it myself. I had no response on the matter and never received any further communications from urban outfitters on how to proceed. Due to the lack of communication, I disposed of the bed as I stated in my email. I heard absolutely nothing from Urban since except for a chargeback request from them, which I did. Now, two months later (October 2021) I received an email from Urban Outfitters saying they are going to schedule a pick up for the old bedframe in 1-2 weeks, and if I don't return it, I will be forced to pay the full price of the bed AGAIN (it was over $500).Business response

********,
I am deeply concerned that your request and our follow through did not happen! It is very disappointing that we have let a valued customer like yourself down and would like to offer our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused. I have notated your order and accounts to make sure no other charges will be issued. I have also refunded you your shipping fees of $107.72. You should see that refund in 1-3 business days. It will go back to your **** ending in ****.Initial Complaint

I have talked to customer service 3 times in the past two weeks about **********, a coat worth $400 that *** says delivered but I have not received. I had put notifications on my *** orders so I know exactly when they are delivered. I looked outside right when I got the notification and this package was not there. I had also specified required signature for this package given the value. The first customer service rep said that they'd file an investigation and they would email me with choices. I never heard back so I contacted them again. The second rep said that they would refund me right away and that I should see an email shortly. the third rep said that it would take 48 hours but that they always resolve these issues and I should be getting another email. Today I got an email from customer service saying I should file a claim with my homeowners insurance (?). First of all, what is the actual policy? I have ordered over 2000K from this company just in the past 2 months.Business response

We looked into the customer's concern and confirmed that the courier has marked the package as being delivered. If the package was not received we would encourage the customer to reach out to the courier or file a claim with their home owners/renters insurance for a stolen package.
