Terrible service
December 17, 2024

Ordered sunglasses Dec 2 and after 15 days they have not shipped. Customer service was no help at all. Their own site claims a label was made 12/7 but item still not shipped. They claim it is shipped when the label is printed. Would NEVER buy from them again. Who knows if I will ever receive the sunglasses. If not here by Friday I will dispute the charge on my c.c.

Abysmal experience
October 6, 2024

The customer service for this store and their umbrella company urban outfitters is abysmal. God forbid there's any issues with your order or account, which they themselves cause because their representatives are completely incompetent or just don't care, don't expect any real time assistance and forget about any resolution after they string you along. This is, I feel, a niche clothing brand targeting a specific market, and expensive to boot. Alienating their customer base and instead of trying to resolve issues, simply cutting off customers is really a miserable way to conduct business. Do their corporate officers know or care how their customer service departments are handling their consumers? I would still love to shop some of their pieces, but have been prevented from doing so directly with the company, and after the awful way they have treated me as a loyal customer, I just don't want to have anything to do with this brand ever again, and I've previously spent hundreds, possibly thousands with them.

Worst Customer Service
December 4, 2023

I ordered a pair of boots that never arrived, I was given the run around for a month, your order has been delayed, you should received it any time now, and last excuse you put in the wrong address, nothing but excuses and yet no money has been returned. Do not order from this store unless you want to give away free money...

Got tired of having items sent that was not at all the colour depicted. Huge false advertising. As well they do not have quality control. I was sent out a blurred lines dress which has a hole in it. As i live in canada, after exchange and duties, this was a huge amount of money.
When you call they offer you a 15% discount which is a slap in the face because the dress cant be worn with holes. When i returned the item, they never paid me my return shipping. It was there fault they sent out a damaged item.

Ive learned if i like something i Pinterest it and get it off Poshmark or ebay later.

Several items online in my purchase resulted in "out of stock" five or six days later. Inaccuracy of their inventory or fraud? Reaching out to customer service could have been a better use of time and energy. I experienced wrong and conflicting information and was unwilling to hear or help. The whole process leaves you drained, finding that no one takes accountability for things done or said. This purchase was my last experience with FP. I will never deal with them again.

Online ordering is a disaster. They do not care about their customers if an issue comes up and will tell you there is nothing they can do. Their recent holiday promo was misleading and they refused to address my issue and flat out said they couldn't help me. Very puzzled how they have no contingencies or directives to resolve customer issues other than "sorry there's nothing we can do but let corporate know your concerns". Hesitant to support this company going forward.

Misleading promotion
December 17, 2023

They advertised $100 credit for $150 spent with some small print saying "see details". There was no link to the details even after I scoured their website. I placed 3 orders and each time it added the $100 credit to my cart. Now that it is time for them to "pay up" two weeks later, the details are available in the single emailed credit and say one per CUSTOMER. Well, I paid for one order and my husband paid for the other, but they are not even willing to admit we are two people. So guess what...orders are being returned and I just won't be shopping there anymore. I'm very disappointed in their misleading "bait and switch" tactics and their lack of customer service when overall I have spent over $600 there this holiday season. I won't be making that mistake again!

The quality was really low, for the high price, and the materials and craftsmanship were very poor and comparable to some very low priced venues like Sh--ein which at least are dirt cheap!...Would never order anything from them again. Using them as rags around the house.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
December 18, 2023

While I do love the clothing and have been a loyal customer, for years, I have never been so poorly treated by customer service. An order was marked delivered and was in fact not. I was home at the exact time the notification came through. I attempted to get in touch with customer service via email, chat, website, and phone. After multiple attempts and hours of wasted time, I have gotten no response other than automated messages asking me to wait another 48 hours for review. My gifts that I paid good money for will not only not arrive in time for Christmas but they have my money and are not willing to take a call to help me resolve it. If they wish to sell to real people then they need to have real people servicing the customers not automated bots.
