I was told that the item has already been picked up and if I return the item, I will get the refund. I had not picked up the item and was very confused with this whole situation.I went to the *** store where I was supposed to pick up the order. Initially I was told the order was not there. But after looking and re-looking, order was found & I picked it up.I went to the Guess store to return the item and I was told that it was past the return date and I should call the customer ************** should send me a return label to return the item.I called the Guess customer service and they refused to listen that there was no email communication about the order and I did not know if it was ready for pick up. They said it was *** Store's responsibility to send me that email.Now, I am stuck with the item.

I purchased a dress as a wedding gift for a dear friend and arranged for it to be picked up by her at a *** station. When *** called to notify me that it was ready, they mentioned that I needed a release code. Despite being informed by Guess customer service via phone and chat that no code was required, *** refused to accept the invoice number as proof. I reached out again and a representative named ****, ID 4448, attempted to assist me but kept placing me on hold repeatedly for 40 minutes. Eventually, he stated that there was nothing he could do and promised to call me back. However, I never received a callback from him or a supervisor. Consequently, I am unable to access the package. Why did you deceive me by claiming there was a release code when there wasn't? Now I need to return this package.Business Response

Kindly note that future orders that are to be picked up must have the name of the person picking up added to the order, Guess does not have a release number as this is not a process we have in place, and this comes from *** corporate.

I took my children to the guess outlets during Christmas vacation and they held my children hostage, adult and youth claiming that I stole some sun glasses. I was mortified. I went in to look at some sunglasses and the line was very long. The line was right where the sunglasses were located and there was no staff available. I asked my son to get me down a pair of sunglasses and he did with a stool, when I went to a mirror to try them on, I decided not to get them because the line was way to long. I left the store and they were behind me and then I went outside ad they did not come outside. I saw them at the door and waved for them to come out and they said that they couldn't that the lady wanted her sunglasses back. Are you kidding me, I am Christmas shopping with my children and they make me come back inside the store accusing me of stealing, I showed them where the glasses were in front of all of the customers in the store and they did not apologized at all. I am 50 years old and have been wearing guess since I was 15, these people that you have running your outlet store in ******, ** need to be dealt with, I will never go there again and I was so embarrassed and so were my children. This is disgusting harrassment.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: This matter has been going on since originally October 2023 when I first attempted to exchange the item at the Guess store and was unsuccessful in doing so, in November 2023 I was told my refund check would be processed and mailed in 6 weeks, your company failed to do so, this is the second time I have been told that my refund check is being processed and will be mailed, I am unsatisfied with how all this is being handled, your company received their merchandise in a timely manner, I am requesting my refund check to be processed and sent in a timely manner as well.

I bought a sparkly two piece from the Guess store at ******* ***************** on the 28th of December for New Years Eve that I was very excited about wearing. Unfortunately, when I was getting dressed on the night of December 31st, I saw that the security tag for the top was not taken off. I was immediately demoralized. I wasnt going to be able to wear this expensive outfit that I bought specifically for that night. It was too late by then to take it back to the store, all the stores were closed. My boyfriend saw how sad I was and tried to take it off so that I could still wear it, however, there was ink in it, and some of it spilled out. We then decided to give up and I tried to find something else to wear. I was so disappointed.On January 3rd I went to the Guess store at ******** to exchange the top, but they told me I have to go to the store where I bought the item originally. I then went to the Guess store at ***************** and explained to an employee that I couldnt wear the top because the security tag was left on and that we tried but couldnt take it off. The employee refused to give me an exchange or a refund because I had damaged the item by trying to take the tag off. I told her we tried to take the tag off to fix their mistake so that I could actually wear it for the occasion I bought it for. She had no sympathy or apology, no offers of remedy or compensation, and proceeded to blame me for trying to do their job that they messed up. She then went to the back for a minute, told me she talked to the manager and that the manager agreed with her, which I now believe was a lie in order to dismiss me. She didnt even offer to take the security tag off! Everyone I know, including those working at other stores, are shocked by how I was treated. Absolutely terrible customer service.Business Response

I ordered a gold watch band for my guess watch I had previously bought. Via phone call. I gave my credit card information and all things pertaining to the order. This was on October 25 of 2023. I received a billing statement 2 weeks later on my account that the transaction had been made. During this time period I have inquired about the watch band on several occasions, talked to different customer service representatives and they all assured me that the band was in the mail and should arrive shortly. They have my email address, street address, and phone number, and conformation number but they can't seem to send me a correspondence to any of them regarding a tracker number or an simple statement on paper verifying the package. I informed my bank of the transaction and they told me wait 2 weeks for the merchant to respond. It's now a week before Christmas and now they are telling me the post office had a mishap and sent the package back to headquarters, they also stated that my package will not be shipped out until after Christmas. I'm very disappointed with the service and I just want my watch band because it's one of a kind and no other band will fit it besides the manufactured one. I'm in need of assistance please.Business Response

I had an extremely poor experience and witnessed very unorthodox sale practices on 12/12/23 at the Guess located in ****************.Employee #1 unlocked the fitting room door, allowed me to enter with a jacket, bodysuit, and jeans.I asked my partner to hand me the same jacket in a different size, at which point an employee starts incessantly knocking on the fitting room door while I was changing telling me that there is a store policy (not displayed) which states no jackets in the fitting room. The employee keeps harassing me although I communicate that I cannot come out at the time. I tell Employee #1 that I wish to speak to a Manager about this behavior. It turns out the Manager was the person incessantly knocking on the door. During the dispute several issues arose.1) Employee #1 blatantly lied about the fact that she let me in with a jacket, stating a different version to her Manager in non-English language.2) When I point out that they can pull the security footage from the camera which points to the fitting rooms, Manager insists its a fake camera.3) The items are marked 30% and 60% off, which the Manager verified. When we were checking out she tried to charge me full price for both items. When I pointed it out, she took the 60% off one item. I had to point out that she did not take 30% off the other item, at which point she took 30 cents off the other instead of the 30% (~$15) and told me it was fixed. I was lucky to catch this while walking out! This is a very unorthodox sale practice since many customers who visit this location are tourists and if they do not check the total and receipts THREE TIMES, they would get scammed. I informed the Manager that she needs to fix this issue at which point she simply blamed the computer with no indication of doing anything about it for future customers.I also find it unacceptable that employees and managers can blatantly lie to customers and would like to know how Guess will address this situation.Business Response

On September 2023 my wife and I went to guess store at ******************* mall in ************* *******. She bought a leather jacket and I bought a shoes. We are a loyal guess customer and we frequently shop at that ********************** store. We never had a chance to wear what we bought until last month when we were invited to this party and we decided to try them out for the first time. To out surprise both the jacket and the shoes were peeling off and we were very disappointed as they never been out of out closet. We tired to call customer service and explain the situation but they werent very helpful and we are passed their return deadline. We also went to the store we shopped at and they werent helpful either. Were very disappointed at how low the leather quality is and we will never buy anything leather from guess anymore.Business Response

This transaction is from June 26th for the amount of $1,999.20. I have been calling countless times to get an update on my return. After spending several hours with customer service I get told ********************** cannot locate my return. I got in touch with carrier Guess prescribed to me to do my return with and they confirmed they delivered the return back to the warehouse on July 31st. I don't understand why I am being punished because the carrier of your choice either had issues or your warehouse has issues. I have attached my return label and the return tracking below.Business Response
